Oxbridge Graduates / Oxbridge Essays / Oxbridge Writers

Hi

Can anyone give me their experiences of using any these sites?

I'm interested in whether people have managed to get reassurance that their writer has the advertized background before they pay for their order. How did you really know that your writer was an Oxbridge student / graduate? Were they studying or had they graduated in the same subject as your order subject?

Also do these companies live up to their Guarantees as listed on their websites. They make ordering sound safe and reassuring so I want to know if this is really other people's experiences.

Oxbridge Graduates guarantee money is paid to you if plagiarism is found in your essays - the company says £1,000 /$2,000. Is this for real? Have you or someone you've known for real (not someone online) got a payout?

Oxbridge Essays says for every 12 hours your order is delivered late they guarantee to reduce the sale price of the essay by 20% - so if your essay was 24 hours past due you'd get a 40% refund etc. Is this company for real and do you really get everything on time or at least some of your money back without a fight?

Thanks for your comments. I'm looking to order a literature review (10,000 words) for me to work from and need to be really sure that whichever company I go with is reputable, provides good quality work and trades honestly. There are so many horror stories out there!

I write for a couple of essay and dissertation assistance companies, one of which is UKEssays / OxbridgeGraduates (both part of the Academic Answers group).

As you rightly say with ukessays/oxbridgegraduates there is an a guarantee that if you find that the essay you bought has been plagiarised then you will get £1,000. I don't know whether anyone has successfully claimed against the company - we writers are not privy to such information - but I do know from my contract that the company says that if the writer does not pay this penalty for the company to pass to the customer then the company will pass the writer's name and contact information to the customer so that the customer can pursue the writer directly for the money.

I'm not sure how satisfactory this is from the customer's point of view as I'm not sure how many students would really pursue a writer through the small claims court to recover the money.

As for OxbridgeEssays, if you use the search facility on this site you will see that one customer has complained that they were struggling to get the refund of "20% of the full sale-price of their written work for every 12 hours that this work is late" that is advertised in this company's terms and conditions in spite of their essay being late.

The guarantees that companies provide are there to draw in new business and regardless of their obligations I would still expect that if you run into problems with any essay company they will do what they can to hang on to your money.

If you do order from an essay company, use a credit card as you have greater consumer protection with a credit card than a debit card. If the company fails to deliver according to your contract with them (your order) you can always contact your card company and request a chargeback (refund) on the transaction.

My recommendation is that you write your literature review for yourself; it really is the best way to get to grips with the subject matter.

It would be interesting to actually find out what constitutes "plagiarism" - would one sentence be enough? Or over X percent.

With regard to one of the more prominent essay-writing companies, Oxbridge Essays, I can inform a couple of your concerns, since I used to write for them!

When I commenced working for this company, I was assured that I would be writing model essays as "examples only" and that the company was strictly anti-plagiarism. However, a dozen or so essays down the line, they emailed me to report a "problem" with the bibliography in my latest essay, a 19,000 word Masters dissertation.

Apparently, the bibliography was not specific enough, since I had included a list of books/ publishers, etc, but not the specific page numbers of these books. I wrote back, inquiring why a so-called "model essay" would need to have such a specific bibliography, unless the recipient was attempting to plagiarise the entire work and pass it off as his own. I received no direct response to this question. Instead, the reply again requested me to make the aforementioned changes. I wrote back, explaining that I no longer had access to the resources necessary to do this, since I had to borrow many of the books from my uncle (a lecturer), who, in turn, returned them to his university library. As a graduate, you must remember, I cannot easily gain access to many copyright libraries! I also mentoned that they had emailed me more than 10 days after the essay had been submitted for changes, which was clearly past their deadline for requesting changes. Had the person I was writing the essay for originally read it, accepted it and handed it in as his own work, only to be told later by his tutor that the bibliography needed more precision?

Oxbridge Essays answered with yet another non-sequitor, stating that they had to check my essay for plagiarism before they paid me (even though they should have done this the minute it was initially submitted and despite the fact that my essay-writing style is transparently distinctive). I wrote back, explaining this, adding that if I was not paid by the end of the next month I would take them to court. I am currently waging a legal battle versus Oxbridge Essays to reclaim my money.

During this time, I have researched the company in greater depth and thence heard many similar stories. I subsequently regret having been used in such a way as a kind of "academic prostitute" and can only hope that others are not similarly duped. If I had been smart enough to research them carefully in the first place, I might have avoided these consequences.

Yes, I agree. You should always ask how do they define plagiarism as well as this guarantee.

My experience with them has been fine so far. I have never had to claim this guarantee..

Hi there,

I just thought I'd clear up one point - these sites don't all belong to the same person.

Oxbridge Graduates and Oxbridge Writers are ours (part of Academic Answers Limited) but Oxbridge Essays belongs to two people who have nothing to do with us.

The registered address for them (they're a LLP - limited liability partnership) is:

OXBRIDGE ESSAYS LLP
9 MARQUIS HILL
SHILLINGTON
HITCHIN
HERTS
SG5 3HD
LLP registration number: OC316127

Funnily, this is not the registered address they list on their website. The full names of the partners are JAMES MATTHEW ALEXANDER MALAMATINAS and PHILIP NICHOLAS MALAMATINAS. Another partner, SUSAN MALAMATINAS, resigned in June.

This stuff is actually all freely available on the Companies House website, but I hope it helps you get your money back or a resolution.

By the way, since we've been running the guarantee (we offer £5k on the sites now they have been 1k and 2k before though) there have been two claims for the plagiarism bond and they've both been paid up. These were because a writer had taken sections from a book and not referenced them, in both cases. The scanner wouldn't have picked up on that because we can't scan books.

Actually, we can now, we just couldn't back then - we've just finished working on a new scanner which scans through thousands of electronic copies of books so it's far more effective.

Does anyone have experience working for oxbridge essays?

Hi JenniferAA

Thanx for your talk about Oxbridgeessays ... and you said ((Actually, we can now, we just

couldn't back then - we've just finished working on a new scanner which scans through

thousands of electronic copies of books so it's far more effective)).

DO YOU mean abot Oxbridge?

Can anyone update something new about their progress of the battle against the company.
My story is not as sad as previous but I feel very angry as well.
I am a Master Student in LSE, spent most of time in Lib through the year, and only worried about a good way to structure a first class answer as an inexperienced oversea student from China. Therefore, I paid total of 600 pound for two model exam answers which i feel will probably come out in the final exam. Both answers delivered in a right time (three days before exam), however after I have read the model answers (supposed to be distinction ones), I felt if i produce a similar one in the exam and i will be guaranteed to fail it. But at that time i still had a faith on them, felt it might be because of the time pressure or inadequate resources which the writers refereed to.

SO I spent 2 hours to explain what an expected structure for these questions would be, but it is now the 3rd day, and I will go to exam in 8 hours, and have not heard anything from anyone. However, the alteration form which i wrote in fact helped my structuring but that was not the 600 pound i paid for! I am now considering to call my bank and stop my transaction.

My wish was good, spent money for a last minute tuition for the exam preparation, however, it turned out pretty bad, so thank twice before you ask them for this help.

If there is a company only write for model answers and essay reviews, i think it would be a lot better both for the students and the people working for them, especially morally.

The Oxbridge Research Group:
Oxbridge Editing
Oxbridge Essays
Oxbridge Law
Oxbridge Primary Research
Oxbridge Personal Statements
Oxbridge Investment Banking (it is a joke - they claim that top executives from Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan will write your personal statement!)

Oxbridge Law Tutors
Oxbridge Training Contracts
Oxbridge Vac Schemes (Get this - top execs from Clifford Chance, will fill in your job application form)
Oxbridge Pupillages

Look - they paint avery pretty pix but think about it:

Do they really have more than 1,500 Oxford and Cambridge Graduates on their freelance staff? Graduates from these universitiesearn a bomb and will certainly not write your papers for anything less than 50-100 GBP.

Do you really believe the top execs from the world's leading investment banks (people who earn close to 6 figures per year) are going to fill in your applications and write your personal statements?

Do yourself a favour and stay away from them.

The brother set up the company 3 years ago - one was 20 at the time and the other 21. Can you really place your future in the hands of kids?

i have also been scammed by Oxbridgeessays, I will post the full story once I hear back from them with regards to my refund request

DONT EVEN THINK OF USING THEIR SERVICE

The Oxbridge Research Group


Do not accept a partial refund. If you, as the consumer, received anything less than that which you were promised, you are protected by both the Sales of Services and Consumer Protection acts. Remind them of this and, at the same time, contact your local Citizens Advice Bureaux: citizensadvice.org.uk/cabdir.ihtml. Worst case scenario - small claims court. TORG is a British company and has to adhere to UK law ...

Students, these names are very confusing. Also you waste a lot of time in finding out who is who. Better avoid everything that starts with oxbridge word.

Dreamer! Why???!!! Some of us have the name but are in no way associated with TORG. So ... how about avoiding TORG (the oxbridge researcher group) and not Oxbridge per se? :)

Can you believe in this logic? our OR is the real owner of Oxbridge

you stupid ignorant idiot - look here Syed or Chandra (whatever your name of the day is) ... my info is puiblic to everybody and if you aresuch an ignoramus that you cannot check the legal docum,ents through the companies house to know that Oxbridge Researchers and TORG were never related - then that is your problem

you are nothing but a jealous looser whose only talent is idiocy. You are a liar and have done nothing but earn the well-deserved disrespect of everybody here. Go clean up essaybrunch looser and then harp on about other websites.

You are ignorant, stupid and your English is horrible. You ckaim to know everything - from English law to US law, from academic researching to professional banking ... and what do you have to show for it? A failed attempt to go independant through essaybrunch, a handful of orders from AR and just over 15 from essaybay stretched over 2 years. You think I do not know who you are? I know who you are and I am now going to legally pursue you for defamation, libel and slander.

Moderators - I guess you now want us to use the info we have on the idiot chacha and pursue him in a court of law????????????!!!!!!!!

hahahhha.... look at here obvious typo "ckaim"... she has gone mad due to the fact that she has been exposed. She claims to be a native English writer but belongs to a North African country..... what a contradiction in claims... readers decide yourself who is misguiding you here....

Desperation at its best..... Please go ahead and post everything you know about me..

Hey Syed/Chandra/idiot - unlike you I never hide who I am IDIOT. The country you are referring to is EGYPT and my association with it, as with the UK (both by blood and nationality) is a source of pride not shame. How about you? Any can obtain my national ID docs and everything by looking up the director of Oxbridge Researchers. You are just a jealous and ignorant idiot. I will shut you up - legally.

You are nothing but a jealous looser with a master/slave, colonizer/colonized complex ... a sorry sod.

You are a crazed fundi - you think I did not notice or understand the religious diatribe you launched into a short while back? I know the likes of you very very well ... a sick, religious extremist with nothing but hate, jealousy and ignorance egging him on.

1.


I am neither syed nor chandra.. but I am sure you know what SYED means in Arabic.
2.


I am a professional banker with more than four years of experience.... I have studied and passed the subject on Law both in US and UK Professional exams..

And which UK professional exam might that be Chacha..be careful now because I can find out if your lying lol

Have you ever heard of ICAEW? or CIMA or ACCA for that matter.... I have passed major papers of these exams and is striving hard to pass them in near future...

It means that I am your master you idiotic extremist monkey. Why dont you go blow yourself up at the altar of your idiocy


not much hope with your English, idiot. And if you hate your colonisers so much and are so anti-British, why don't you go sit for your national exams and keep the hell away? Oh yes! They are probably not accredited anywhere in the world!

Oh .. but I do know who you are!

This shows you have never heard of them... Idiot...

These are NOT law exams ACCA is for accountants .. I know this because at one time I was going to do the same course before I decided on law. I completed the AAT course before deciding that accountancy was not for me as it was way too dreary.

the ICAEW is the institute of chartered accountants in england and wales which obviously is NOT a law exam

and cima is the chartered institute of management accountants ...yet again NOT a law exam

Law exam include either LLB degree or BA degree in law and another subject and the either LPC to become a lawyer BVC to become a barrister or FILEX to become a legal executive.

Nearly all subjects marginally touch on law, but you cannot claim to have a qualification in law UNLESS you have passed one of the above.

That explains your IGNORANCE of contract law lol.

I am a member of the Bar council for england and wales as well as a member of the honourable society of lincoln's inns.

Desperation........ Desperation......... I have left you to lick your own wounds honey....

Does my post indicate that these are law exams? They have papers on Business Law including Contract Act, Sale of Goods, Insurance, Taxation, Corporate Laws etc.. and I think all these laws are the valid laws of UK and are still followed by everyone.. can you deny this?

I was talking about your national exams not the ones you claimed to have passed ... if you understood English you would have known that. However, what we have here is a poor ignorant sod who is dying to feel important and clever. Guess what ... you will only ever be worthless :) You never ever make sense and are a laughing stock - the only one who doesn't know that is you :)

I can deny that you are a thinking life form but can affirm that you are a bloody stupid idiot

Again desperation..... I fear if I continue that way for one more week, You will start taking anti-depresents...............


You should take rest now I think before it gets over you....

chacha421


I reallyhave no idea what "depresents" are but I do know that you make me feel very good about myself.

How is it that your mother didn't smother you at birth? I see ... you are your family's clown!

You indicated that you had passed law in UK professional exams... the amount of law covered by the ACCA can be written on a postage stamp. Contract Act lol what the heck is that supposed to be lol do you mean

Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (c. 31) or
Local Government (Contracts) Act 1997 (c. 65)

Think you will find this is the full title lol

The amount of law contained in accountancy exams is minimal and does not go into the law in any depth. If you have touched on contract law how come you did not know that a contract does not have to be written to be valid, AND that a written contract does not have to be signed by both parties, nor is there any requirement for it to be on neat A4 paper lol.

You OBVIOUSLY know as little about UK law as you do about writing in English lol

Did I stated that?

: Translation: I, CHACHA OF ESSAYBRUNCH, AM AN IDIOT BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I STATED :)


Exwriter, I have a graduate degree in international business law from LSE ... does that mean I am a lawyer? I thought not but, apparently, anyone who has ever written a law paper is a lawyer ... SO WHY NOT MEEEEE!!!

Thats called desperation..... thats called the final resistence from a cheater who is trying to re-build her credibility.... you are exposed honey.... you should now wander into the streets of London to collect funds to pass a comfortable post-retirement life...


I am impressed... really.....

Translation: "I chacha am a fool. I am so jealous of my lords and masters that I am illogically lashing out at everyone and anything. In the process of doing so, I know that I, Chacha, am proving myself a worthless idiot but I really cannot help myself."

there are many out there who are deluded and think that writing a paper on law makes them a lawyer.

I wrote a paper on domestic violence .... does that make me a wife beater lol

Really??!!! Post your degrees here online on this forum and I'll immediately post all of mine. Up to it? A picture ID to prove that the degree posted actually belongs to you is a must. If you do that, so will I ... immediately. Am proud of my degrees. How about you?


Don't think so but could be good training for the pursuit of a chacha-beating hobby, though.

I'm proud of mine too, however am not allowed to post picture ID because of being a member of the bar council... that is why we all wear silly wigs to make us anonymous lol

No abusive language please.... AN LSE student shall not resort to such thing.. By the way, an readers can you really grasp this fact that an LSE student is working as a fulltime freelancer? I think LSE must have lowered down their criteria to allow stupid like OR to get admission

:) yes, the wigs look kinda silly :)

OK HONEY GOT SOME WORK TO DO....... TODAY'S DOZE IS ENOUGH FOR YOU NOT TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY
