It is my prerogative whether to divulge my personal details. Of course

Again with the insults- obviously not working in a legal sphere- none of the colleagues I gave in the industry would treat other colleagues in such a derogatory manner.

Such MAGNANIMITY!

such appalling spelling!

b) MAK and I, and the others are NOT COLLECTING ANY FEES FOR ANY HELP THAT WE EXTEND TO EVERYONE"

Then HOW will you pay for ANY legal action. YOU cannot get this for free IF you are representing others. ARE you funding this yourself?

Talking about yourself. People will just have to read the posts. If you were (that is an IF) my lawyer, I would want to go straight to the guillotine to spare myself of all the agony of your mistakes and haughtiness.

Guillotine? wasn't that abolished years ago? they don't execute people in civil courts anyway!

Lecture time Folks! I am sure you wanted to be a teacher when you were little. Folks, see how bossy and how haughty brilliance can ever be!

Merely pointing out a fact that you will NOT be exempt from charges in the court BECAUSE you have to meet the criteria

CITE me one case were a freelance writer has won a case against an essay writing company- you cant! why? because there has never been onw! Why? because MOST know that it would be a waste of money as THEY CANNOT PROVE that the work was not complained about by the customer because they have no knowledge of that customer.

am not competing. See how threatened you are? Life for you is always a competition--always wanting to outprove everyone. Perhaps, it is time to grow up!

I am not the one dodging issues here. Stop making this about attacking someone just because they are WARNING a potential LITIGANT that they COULD lose money IF they bring an action in court.

Signs of Insecurity
Defensiveness

Defensiveness huh! like how you avoid a straight forward question- are you legally trained? yes or no? simple question one word answer surely you can manage that!

You are getting annoyed ONLY because I dared to challenge your lack of knowledge on the english legal system. yes some people CAN be regarded as agency workers- however, you INCORRECTLY stated that the writing company do not have to pay national insurance for agency workers check out the link below for the requirements for someone to be classified as an agency working- please note the point that states.

your employer deducts tax and National Insurance from your wages- this makes you an EMPLOYEE. where the person making the payment does not deduct national insurance this can make them a worker, which according to the site

a worker (which means you do not do so well)

worksmart.org.uk/rights/i_work_through_an_agency_am_i

Some of our most important employment rights are unfortunately only available to those who are classed as 'employees'. These are set out below. Many agency workers do not qualify for these rights as they do not pass the 'employee' test.

The right to claim unfair dismissal where you are sacked without notice or good cause.
The right to redundancy pay
The right to take maternity, paternity and parental leave and to request flexible working
The right to paid time off for antenatal care.
Right to a written statement of main terms and conditions of employment

Taken from the site listed above.

and further on agency workers below

personneltoday.com/articles/2008/03/04/44659/agency-workers.html

They DO NOT enjoy the same rights as employees and their contracts can be discontinued at will.

Overly Authoritative
Insecure people tend to compensate for their lack of confidence by taking out their frustrations on others.

I'm glad you finally recognise yourself in your own quote!

NOW, Go to HELL and ROT! - how rude. Is that how you always respond when you cannot argue with the truth?

You try to make out that I do NOT care about the fact that writers have been SCAMMED. IF I did NOT care I would not be advising them to THINK carefully before becoming embroiled in legal action. HECK I could make a fortune telling them I could represent them in court- however, the role of a barrister is to assess the strenghts and weaknesses of a case- as I am sure Mak will tell you- and then give an opinion on the likelihood of the success of that case.

In UK law those seeking legal action will first approach a lawyer/ solicitor such as Mak, who will then glean the opinion of a barrister, so as to not waste the clients money in litigation destined to fail.

I could have been getting paid £150 an hour for the advice I have given here. IF anyone wants to pursue a claim the please proceed, however, on a professional level the chances of success are so remote that IF I was being asked for my professional opinion I would say that the chances of losing are significantly higher than the chances of winning due to the difficulty in providing substantive evidence against the assertions made by the writing companies.

Good investigation!

Thanks it was well worth it to expose how crap they are. I did feel a touch sorry fir the person who got the work but I guess if you pay peanuts you get monkeys lol

I can only hope they used it as a reference piece rather than submitted it as their own. Then again if they did submit it as their own they to are guilty of plagiarism and deserve to get a crap mark!!

There are 2 reasons I never collcted the fee

1) because the work was so bad it didn't warrant even such a small payment; and
2) I felt a touch bad for the customer but was unable to refund them as I am not privy to theri details.

I decided (for a laugh) to sign up to essaywriters.net last October. I took a ridiculously priced $4 a page piece of work, used wikipedia for virtually all of the work, plaigarised to the hilt and forwarded it to them.

I received the massive some of $28 for an absolutely dreadful price of work that passed the plagiarism scanner lol

I didnt even bother collecting the fee which is still languishing in some paypal accout I have forgotten the details of. This was an experiment just to see how poor the site was at controlling the quality of the work done by the writers.

Let this be a warning to customers- some poor sod out there got my piece of crap cos the owners of the site didn't bother to check the quality before sending it to you.

I have never written for them since but it sure was a fun experiment.

Dear Lena,

Please click the link below for help

Proficient writers do NOT need to tout for business as diligently as you keep doing. I have assisted several sudents in the past - mostly with extra tuition and proof reading and editing services, and have increased the number of students I assist purely on recommendation from the students I was already tutoring.

WB is right to warn Lena about the dangers of picking a writer from this forum as MANY posters have hidden agendas and either

(a) write for fraudulent companies; or
(b) run their own fraudulent company.

Many customers prefer to use a company to go through since there is a degree of protection if the work is substandard. What protection would Lena receive if she availed herself of your services. Do you expect payment in advance? and if she is not satisfied would you refund her money?

I personally NEVER charge in advance of doing the work AND only expect remuneration once the customer is TOTALLY happy with the work.

I am not in anyway touting for business as I do not need to, and there is no point anyone private messaging me as the email I use on here is defunct!!

The 15 private students I have keep me busy enough throughout the academic year to the extent that I can pick and choose whether to take on any new students. As mentioned previously my primary role with these students is tutoring although I have provided sample essays that they can use as a point of reference when writing their own work.

Are you not bent on helping others? when you youself had been victimised as you have claimed?

You have taken the quote completely out of context as well you know. I asked for your LEGAL experience given that you are purporting to offer assistance to others. I did NOT make any comment as to whether I was interested in helping others or not and therefore to ASSUME that I do NOT want to help anyone is completely wrong AND offensive to such such a thing.

Of your 110 posts, you never even ventured on trying to think of a legal way to assist these people being a brilliant, well-respected and much revered barrister that you are?

They couldn't afford my fees and I am not in the habit of working for nothing!!

Having spent £35000 on my career do you seriously expect me to OFFER my services for nothing- get real!!

@exwriter do not bother me with your posts. I do not intend to dignify them with replies.

So I take that to mean you have NO legal qualification !!!Well here's to applicants throwing good money after bad. Ever heard of the saying

'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!'

It is very clear that you sought to discourage victims to take action--you sought to preempt and block a proposed procedure that sought to secure justice for the victimised writers by making your general assumptions and applying them on YOUR OWN speculations and conjectures.

I am basing my answer ON ACTUAL EXPERIENCE IN COURT something you SEEM to know very little about. I DO NOT want to see writers who have already LOST a considerable amount of money LOSE even further money on a ACTION doomed to failure.

HOW do you propose to FUND this action your purporting to bring. IF you took the time to read the leaflet on EXEMPTIONS you would note that to receive an EXEMPTION you MUST be in receipt of ONE of the listed benefits. YOU would also know that for an EXEMPTION to be given EACH applicant has to qualify for the exemption- you CANNOT bring a CLASS action based on ONE persons exemptions.

You also did not respond to your knowledge (or lack of) of joinder actions which I guess is non-existent.

Sorry but the only thing "big" that I see is your HEAD.

It takes a very small minded person to resort to personal insults when they are losing!!!

STOP misinforming these already cheated writers and I will stop bombarded you with questions!!!!

voir-dire - since you seem intent on TRYING to assist others bringing legal action against Peter Richardson- could you please disclose your EXACT legal qualifications, given the mumbo jumbo you keep coming out with.

You claim to have spoken to the tax office yet spout that NOT ALL EARNINGS have to be declared. Is this how you conduct your own business? If so do you KNow the penalty for failing to disclose ALL income.

My post on here was a generalised post on legal action available to freelance writers based on misconceptions being given in posts by other posters such as yourself.

I for one would not discourage legal action as this is what pays my bills (tongue-in-cheek), however, I was warning of the dangers of taking such action, especially since most of those who have been scammed can ill afford to waste more money trying to pursue their lost earnings.

A little prudence, won't hurt. I am sure you know that cases can be thrown out based on small jurisdictional issues.

It takes a big man to admit their mistake- which I was more than happy to do, however you have not acknowledged your OWN mistake that claims can be for UP to £100,000. I can assure IF i was been asked specifically for legal advice I would have ensured that I did not make a transpositional error of putting the price for personal injury claims instead of money claims. The fact remains that SMALL claims courts will only hear cases up to £5000 not £100,000 as you claim.

If you are talking about bringing a joint action against PR I hope that you know sufficent information about Part 20 claims as joinder actions are a minefield of anomalies.

I am sure you know that cases can be thrown out based on small jurisdictional issues.

I think yu mean JURISPRUDENTIAL issues. Jurisdiction refers to the locality in which the case can be heard.

Is it an infringement of copyrights of that particular evil company who ordered the essay, but not paid for it?

The essay remains yours until you are paid for it. If you receive no remuneration you are free to do with it what ever you want.

I fact you can write an essay and retain the copyright, especially since the essays are supposed to be for guidance only.

Therefore the amount involved in the money claim is less than £100,000 or £99,999.99 and NOT as you claimed "for amounts under £1000."

A little lesson on English law for you voir-dire (and remember I do this for a living)

SMALL claims courts deal with issues UP to £5000 - hmcourts-service.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/ex307.pdf
Fast track claims are for claimd between £5000 and £15000
Multi track claims are for claims between £15000 and £50000.

hmcourts-service.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/ex305.pdf

I errantly put £1000 for small claims amounts in the first post, which is the maximum amount for claim for personal injuries in a small claims court.

You will see from the links how much it would cost a litigant to bring an action in each of these cases.

I have requested the HMCS to forward to me the instances where complainants are exempted from the payment of filing fees.

why not just read the online leaflet at the address below

hmcourts-service.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/ex160a_e.pdf

Again I have to disagree. It is not based on self employment.

Have you read the LLC's TOW? I believe not.

I did say MOST companies inform the writers that they are employed on a freelance basis and as such are responsible for their own declaration of tax etc. for one such example see below

academicknowledge.com/tax-insurance.php

Do you know that there is a CUT-OFF for those who need not declare their fees/income? Do you know the amount of the CUT-OFF? I guess not.

Tell that to the taxman.

guardian.co.uk/money/2003/oct/17/redundancy.finance

ec.europa.eu/youreurope/nav/en/citizens/working/taxation/uk/index_en.html

Note the section which states

You have an obligation to declare all your taxable income and capital gains to the Inland Revenue. All information relating to your tax affairs is kept at your local tax office.

Perhaps because the writers are exempt from doing so.

Not so as you will see from the above ALL YOUR TAXABLE INCOME MUST be declared.

facts sent to me and MAK (who identified himself to be a solicitor),

And I am a barrister hence know as much as , maybe more than Mak.

would feel that you sound like a "P.R." But of course, perhaps you are merely expressing your deep fears and concern for the aggrieved writers.

I have NO connection with ANY website and was instrumental in making sure Jennifer from UK essays was reported to the Law Society, the Bar Council and the FILEX for her blatant promotion of law students seeking assistance with their law school work- which by the way is a total breach of the professional ethics of the above societies.

As WB has pointed out many times- lots of these companies purport to be in the UK or the US and are actually based elsewhere. Companies registered through Companies House in UK CAN be pursued in the UK courts, however ANY court will require the APPLICANT to prove they are owed the money they are requesting. IF the essay writing company are claiming substandard work or plagiarism as the reason for withholding the fee then the applicant has to prove that this is not the case. In UK law the rule is 'he who asserts must prove'. If the writing company provide a plagiarism scanner report showing plagiarism (and we all know how such scanning systems have been abused in the past) how is the writer going to be able to disprove the results of the scan. Also, if the writing company say that the customer has complained, AND they produce a letter suppposedly from the customer, HOW can the writer prove this is not from the customer when they are not privy to the customers details (only the writing company has this information).

Anyone is entitled to bring a claim I was merely pointing out the pitfalls and explaining why many may be reluctant. Those who are still studying might be concerned that their university would find out about their writing work if they pursue a claim.

see the following article showing how a student running such a company has been expelled

I have been reading several posts over the last few weeks advising writers and customers of potential legal action against writing companies who do not pay or do not deliver work or deliver work of substandard quality and have decided that its time to set the record straight (least in respect of the position in the UK).

Some have suggested claims through the small claims court- this raises the following inherent difficulty

Not Paying Writers1) issues in relation to jurisdiction- as many of the companies responsible for cheating writers are not based in the UK they are not covered by UK legislation and therefore not subject to the same rules. This then poses a problem for the courts as to whether a claim can be substantiated against the company

2) proof- it can be virtually impossible to prove that the work submitted by the writer was of good quality or that the company did not receive a complaint of plagiarism or poor quality

3) cost of bringing an action- claims can only be heard in the small claims court for amounts under £1000. Depending on the amount claimed the price of the action increases. Given that proving the claim can be difficult as well as the jurisdiction issues many cannot afford to risk paying for initiating the action in case they lose.

A further issue that might also apply in some cases, is that as the industry is based on self employment the companies instruct the writers on the need to disclose their earnings to the Inland Revenue. I suspect that there are some out there who feel that since they are not officially attending a workplace, and that many can write for these companies without anyone knowing that they are doing so, that some have opted not to disclose their earnings to tht taxman. None of the writing companies demand proof that a writer has declared their earnings and merely reminds them of the responibility to do so. For those who have neglected to inform the tax office bringing an action in the courts will reveal their undisclosed earnings and could lead to them facing their own court action for fraud. As many writers are students using the income to subsidise their university grants I doubt that many have made such disclosure to the tax office so therefore when they do get taken for a ride by these companies they are unable to bring an action.

These companies have realised that many do not declare their earnings and this is why they are so confident that they can withhold the money the writer is entitled to without fear of an action being raised against them in the court.

It has also been pointed out that many writers are international students that are here on visas and are fearful of bringing an action in case they have breached the terms of their visa. I suspect that many of these writers have either chosen not to declare their earnings to the Inland revenue, or have not known how to disclose this information and so have errantly not disclosed their earnings. The introduction of self assessment in the UK has caused problems since its inception as it is not easy to complete. I know of many professional persons who have struggled with completion of the forms and have had to employ accountants to assist, so the ordinary lay person will find it a mine field to complete. For this reason many might consider their earnings to be undiscoverable or of such a minimal level that they will risk not getting caught for failing to disclose.

Bringing a legal action in UK is unlikely to succeed, is likely to cost the applicant money they do not have and could expose the writer to legal charges against themselves. the bet form of action would be to discontinue working for the company once there has been a problem receiving payment and put your losses down to experience, or don't start working for these companies in the first place. Learn from the experience of others and try to find companies that will pay for your time and efforts.

I was surfing the net recently looking for essay fraud sites and found the below link in which UK essays have posted essays which have been paid for using stolen credit cards.

ukessays/essay-fraud/

Having previously worked for the company I checked out the essays on there and discovered how much the customer had been charged for the work. As I had kept several of their emails which they had sent to me inviting me to bid on various projects to write I decided to see how much of the money charged went to the writer. I still have these emails so can irrefutable prove that an essay for which the customer was charged £300 was offered to writers for £100. In essence that means that the company get 3 x the amount the writer gets. How can they justify such a huge profit? I checked quite a few of the essays listed at the above link and on each one the amount charged to the customer was 3 x the amount the writer was going to get.

When you also take into account that writers are fined 300% if the customer complains that the work is not of the standard expected that means that if the person who wrote the essay for £100 was to be fined they would have to repay to the company the full £300 that they charged to the customer. This means that the company would retain at least £200 from the deal assuming that thet refund the customer in full. I very much doubt that the company ever give a full refund unless the work is so extremely poor that it could not be used by anyone so it is likely that some of the £300 would also be retained by UK essays. No wonder the owner can afford such flashy cars.

Essay Services / Really let down (uk essays) [12]

Hi there

If all you want is guidance on how to structure your essay there are lots of people out there that can help you with this.

I used to work for UK essays until I realised how dreadful they treat their writers and how many of the customers were submitting the work as their own rather than a guideline. I now do one to one tutoring and proof reading etc as a sideline mainly because I have colleagues I work with whose children have asked for extra tutoring whilst doing their degree.

Sorry you have had a bad experience with ukessays but it does not surprise me!. If you paid for this by credit card you can request a charge back against your card which should get you your money back.

I doubt jennifer from ukessays will come back on here again to try to remedy this bad PR since she was exposed as a fraud the last time she dared to come on here.

If you want to be put in contact with someone to help you structure your work you can PM me and I can help you find someone to assist, and before I get shot down in flames I am not touting for work, merely trying to point you in the right direction.

You made the false accusations, so you have to prove them. If not, you've committed libel.

IF, as you claim, my accusations are false THEN it follows that the owners of Essayfraud WOULD be able to take action against me. However, they would have to prove that my accusations are false ie that they do not charge for verification. In a court of law the person claiming that the actions of another are libellous is placed under a duty to prove the accusations to be false. The person making the assertion HAS no such duty. That's how the law in relation to libel works.

The courts work on the principle of HE WHO ASSERTS MUST PROVE, which therefore means IF a plaintiff is ASSERTING that the accusations are FALSE THEY are under a duty to prove these accusations to be false. In law it is NOT the duty of the person making the accusation IN A LIBEL CASE to prove their accusations to be true.

In a criminal case the burden of proof lies with the prosecutor in proving the guilt of the defendant. The defendant is not required to prove their innocence.

SO if my accusation is FALSE them I challenge the owners of essay fraud to prove these to be false. I wai with bated breath :)

There are MANY different reasons to buy a domain, one of the more popular ones of which does NOT involve a "swift return."

I did say GOOD investors want a SWIFT return, especially in the present economic crisis.

Selling EssaysCan YOU prove that they ARE NOT MAKING ANY MONEY???

You are obviously CLUELESS about both domain sales in general and the value of Essayfraud in particular.

Actually since my son runs several websites/domains I think you will find that I do know a thing or two about how domain sales work and how sites are valued. Most of my sons profits come from selling advertising space on his domains. The amount of traffic through his sites increases the potential value of the site and therefore makes the prospect of selling the domain more viable.

My son receives income from the advertisers as well as through the number of visits to his domains. My son uses various sources to calculate the value of domains that are for sale so that

(a) he knows the rough value of similar sites owned by himself
(b) he can purchase a site/ domain that has potential to expand and improve
(c) He can calculate the optimum time to market his own domain.

If a site is NOT producing a profit and has NO potential to increase its profits then my son wil not even consider offering to buy such a site. Like all good investors he is looking for a swift return for his investment, though occasionally he has taken chances on dwindling sites (some of which have thrived others which continued to make losses and were sold for a loss).

I guess you don't know much about me huh! You always assume that anyone who challenges your authority on here is speaking without any knowledge of a particular topic. Maybe you shoudl do your research more thoroughly before assuming that the poster does not know what they are talking about!!

Actually WB the full quotr from that article was

'Next up, a not criminal but morally, shall we say, debatable barrister, Mr Barclay, late of 'training at Grays Inn' (which, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, I take to mean that he never had pupillage and is not and never was a practising barrister). '

They are assuming he never did pupillage. Of course this can be verified through checking with the various chambers to see if he has ever held a tenancy anywhere or through the bar council or his inns of court as they all hold records of those who have completed pupillage.

I have a colleague who is a bencher at Grays Inns who has told me that according to their records UkEssays has never worked as a practising barrister having failed to secure a pupillage. The Bar Council also do not have any record of him having completed pupillage. I cannot point you to a website to confirm this as this is from records held at the 2 above named places. I have also checked the list of tenants at chambers none of whom have ever heard of him.

You don't have to SELL anything for a company to be MAKING a profit and you claim I'M PLAYING AT BEING DUMB!!

Websites make profit through the traffic using the site AND through other companies using the site to advertise through. Essayfraud encourages supposedly legitimate essay writing companies to get verified through them so that customers who visit essayfraud will check out the ALLEGED fraudulent companies listed and will only use those VERIFIED by the essayfraud logo. Are you telling me that the owners of ESSAY FRAUD provide this service free- Od course they are not - therefore they make their money by VERIFYING sites for a fee- hence they either make a profit OR they don't.

Actually what I contributed was the MASSIVE fines the company charges writers AND the fact that Jennifer DOES NOT have the qualifications she claims.

Oh and by the way the email I use from here is a SPOOF email lol Try sending a reply and it won't go anywhere as the account does not exist. Jennifer would NEVER recognise that email address as that WAS NOT the one I used as a writer for the company

By the way, I am the one who broke the story about Ukessays hiring ESL writers from Pakistan, NOT YOU!

I have NEVER claimed responsibility for this. I was CLAIMING responsibility for exposing their EXORBITANT fines, which you know I can OBVIOUSLY prove. I was also exposing the fact that Jennifer is NOT LPC qualified AND that she is breaching the ethics code for barristers and lawyers by promoting a site which encourages them to break the law school rules.

since you've become such a cutthroat backstabber.

So defending a fellow poster equates in your book to being a cut throat backstabber and there was me thinking it was showing loyalty and compassion to another human being!! Although why I am bothering to explain this to you I do not know since you have demonstrated in your attack on Lavinia that you have no LOYALTY or COMPASSION for anyone.

WB i notice that you have chosen to ignore my response to you with regard to your assertion that none of my posts have made any contribution to this forum- is that because you were wrong in your assertion as I easily demonstrated how I have contributed in the topics involving ukessays?

Are you big enough to admit you got this wrong?

General Talk / EssayFraud is for sale? [51]

I know EXACTLY what type of site you are using. It was either the following site or one similar

No it wasn't!!!!

They don't sell anything. Why don't you review the site before posting?

Read the post properly. My reference to selling was the SALE of the website. I DID not say THEY SELL anything. I am well aware of what the site does or does not do. I stated THAT I WAS SPECULATING WHY THEY ARE SELLING as in WHY THEY ARE SELLING THE SITE - get it. And you accuse others of not reading properly huh.

General Talk / EssayFraud is for sale? [51]

The site even admits such!

I am not really bothered why they are selling, however, the site I used to calculate the value of the website did show that the site was worth less than several days ago. Since you have already contacted them why don't you reveal the TRUTH it would save them having to respond to anyone else with the slightest interest as to why they are selling up.

Yes I guess I was speculating that they were probably selling because they are not making as much money as before, however, given the present economic crisis many ventures both online and in the high street are going to the wall, so it is hardly surprising that profits are dropping.

Oh and by the way I don't remember mentioning which site I used to get the valuation of the website from so how can you assert that

the site that you used to gauge value is known to be completely inaccurate.

when you have zero knowledge of where I got my information from!

Its losing value rapidly hence the reason its for sale. 134 days ago it was worth over $8000 now its worth $5400. I guess its lost its popularity, maybe the adverse publicity claiming its links with essay writing sites has caused people to challenge its credibility

You obviously have not read my posts against UKessays - or do they not count as this is not a BRITISH forum?

Check out my success with JenniferAA - do you see her posting her drivel on here anymore. Did I not highlight her company's fraudulent practice and have I not contacted the Bar COuncil, Law Society and ILEX.

No one is doubting your successes I am merely questioning the need to resort to personal attacks. I think you could achieve the same aim without debasing yourself in such a way. The impetus of your arguments is often lost through the use of personal attacks.

Those are crickets . . . .

I guess you can choose to ignore the truth if you wish like an ostrich burying its head in the sand- it doesn't mean that the truth will go away!

Reality check - you can ignore me all you like but others will probably read my posts and be sat there nodding agreement, and you know that this will be the case given that you have made so many attacks on posters on here.

exwriter, you're wrong, and I have no inclination to communicate with you further. This is between me and Lavinia.

Hmm and I am wrong because you say I am wrong huh. I don't think so!!

You know FULL well that there are very few examples on here when you have apologised to anyone.

You also know that there are many examples of your posts that can be regarded as bullying and there is no need to post the links as there are so many examples.

Face facts - when someone disagrees with them you are often rude and offensive to them. You make personal attacks rather than stick to your original post and try to belittle people. In my book that makes you a bully and Lavinia has clearly stated that she has defended you in the past when you have bullied others- see the quote above.

Unfortunately, I can't edit my first post.

I guess this means you would edit it if you could. Does this mean you have now realised that your original post was flawed?

This is not a British forum

It is not EXCLUSIVELY an American forum either -or am I mistaken?

You don't remember your unprovoked tirade of false accusations concerning my ability to apologize? I stand by my previous assertion that you are making a fool of yourself.

I was merely making an observation- based on FACT- that you RARELY if EVER apologise for personal comments and attacks made on other posters. I could post MANY examples where this has been the case and VERY FEW examples where you have EVER apologised to anyone.

It was actually Lavinia that accused you of BULLYING- not me- I was merely agreeing with her and confirming that I to have witnessed the way in which you have bullied other posters on here.

You and I have had a generally cordial relationship on this forum but you used your same bullying tactics against me.

Maybe I should be as rude as you and ask if you have ACTUALLY read the posts I have made on here but I refuse to stoop to your level and prefer to rise above your continued personal attacks on anyone that dares to challenge you.

Dude, I'm not going to entertain you any further. You're making a fool of yourself. Try actually READING the sequence of events before posting again.

I have read the sequence of events and still stand by my assertion that it is ungamely of you to make personal attacks on someone just because they do not agree with you on every matter. Note your personal attack on me for offering support to Lavinia.

I have no axe to grind with either of you and as you will note from the content of my posts on here nearly all my posts have centred on exposing the way in which ukessays treat customers and writers. Given that this is the only company I have ever written for I cannot comment on the fraudulent practices of other companies although I am aware of their fraudulent behaviour.

I agree that this site should be devoted to protecting consumers AND writers, however, your original post here was flawed in that you averred that any site that does not offer 300+ words per page is ripping consumers off. That is clearly not true especially in the UK where the sites charges per 1000 words as opposed to per page. Maybe essay writing companies should take this onboard and ALL charge per 1000 words that way a TRUE price comparison can be easily made by all those seeking to use such services.

So exwriter, do you have any other FALSE ACCUSATIONS and completely unprovoked, PERSONAL ATTACKS to offer? Do you offer apologies when proved wrong?

Yes I certainly do offer apologies when proven wrong, however, your ALLEGED apology

WritersBeware:
If you took my question as some sort of insult or personal attack, I apologize.

loses any credibility when you then resort back to personal attacks on Lavinia JUST because she does not stand behind you on this issue cheering you along.

Why do you have to always have the last word on every matter. Are you so shallow that you cannot allow others to disagree with you without resorting to personal attacks.

In my line of work I have come across many people who do not share the same views etc as myself and although I might consider them to be wrong I accept their right to hold a different opinion to me and WOULD NEVER resort to making personal attacks on them JUST because they did not agree with me. In this instances the content of your post suggested that companies using larger font size were fraudulent as they produce less words per page, in my experience most students order per 1000 words and most companies will base their quote on the number of words requested.

One shady practice operated by UKessays, which I should have an email from them to back up, is to include the question to be answered as part of the word count. When I used to write for them I once queried the word count as I was told that my work had exceeded the required number of words. I told admin that I had written 2500 words and they stated that the actual word count was 3125. I asked at how they arrived at this figure and they stated that the essay question was included in the word count. Apparently, according to the person I communicated with, when a student requests a paper they are asked how many words they require and are told that they must include the question as part of that word count. This essentially means that the student will be charged more if the essay is a problem question as often the problem itself can be over 1000 words in length. I don't know if this is still happening with UKessays but it was certainly the policy when I used to write for them.

PS - Thank you for the kind words Ex. Maybe now people won't accuse WB and I of being the same person lol.

Your more than welcome, that was a thoroughly undeserved personal attack just because you opted not to agree with her on this occasion.

Well if you are one and the same you must be the alter ego- the kinder, gentler, more compassionate side, you certainly do not attack people with the same venom as a certain other person.

Since I have actually defended your bullying in the past because I thought that you generally have good intentions, I foolishly thought that we could have a civil conversation but every post by you is a new, more erratic RANT.

Lavinia

Sorry you had to become the victim of WB's bullying in order to be able to acknowledge that SOMETIMES WB gets it wrong. Nice of you to acknowledge that the way she goes on IS a form of bullying.

I have read this forum regularly and have often thought that it was wrong of WB to attack posters in the way she has, but never thought she would turn her attack on you. I doubt you will get a retraction judging by previous posts and comments from WB- it appears to me that SORRY is just not in her word vocabulary.

As an exwriter of an essay company I can vouch for the comments you have made that the urgency of the paper impacts on the price. It was also highlighted by a customer in another thread how UKessays have several sites and how the price varies tremendously between the sites despite the fact that the customer will still be getting the same bank of writers and the same number of words per page. UKessays are exploiting those who do not do their homework and check to see who owns/runs these sites. If students become more astute they can do the price comparisons for themselves, but should bear in mind that sometimes going for the cheap option can result in reduced quaility.

Anyway Lavinia, thanks for trying to be the voice of reason in this matter and try to rise above the childish responses of WB. I fully expect to be the next target of her attack for offering you support as is usual with WB, so I will choose in advance to rise above this and ignore the personal comments I feel will be imminent.

I guess Jennifer just couldn't take the heat. Her own self importance was her downfall. Just look how much damage she has done to the companies reputation just by trying to promote their rip off service.

We now have ESL writers declaring they work for AK despite the promises on their site that they do not employ ESL writers. Wonder if ILEX, the Law Society and the Bar council have been applying the heat on our Jenny. Had an email from ILEX yesterday thanking me for alerting them to Jenny's activities. They promised to be in touch once they have investigated my claims and have made a determination on how to deal with this matter.

I guess she might have bit off more than she bargained for on this occasion!!

Legitimate companies in the United States provide 300+ words per page, written by QUALIFIED writers like me, which is a much better value.

WB are you admitting to being a writer? I am confused!!

The posting from Vika is priceless!!

This confirms the integrity of the company is as flawed as the integrity of Jennifer. Jennifer has asserted throughout that her qualifications or lack of them do not reflect on her involvement with the company in anyway and I have been constantly asserting that if she can lie about her academic achievements how are customers supposed to believe her claims about the company she works for. The post from Vika shows that the company are prepared to LIE about the writers they employ in order to get more customers whilst at the same time condemning other companies for employing ESL writers.

It is hardly surprising that this is the case given that their envoy for the company (Jennifer) continually lies throughout her threads her. at one point she tried to claim that it was unlikely that a writer would be fined 300% for late work or quality issues but then later retracts when this can be proven otherwise. She has also asserted that very few writers would have had this penalty imposed on them and offers to explore my complaint if I disclose the relevant order number (thereby identifying to the company my identity). If this is such a RARE OCCASION as Jennifer suggests she should easily be able to identify me as I would be one of a very small minority especially since I have also disclosed my other academic achievements. The fact that I am still unknown to Jennifer suggests that the number of writers fined in this way must be a considerable amount!!
