it can be less than £200 monsta

But you admit to knowing that the work is used in this way and yet do nothing to stop this.

IF a student states that the essay they received from you and that they submitted to the university did not get the grade expected do you contact their univeristy and inform them that the work submitted was not their own? No of course you don't! Why? Because you already suspected they were going to do this anyway.

Why do you still promote sites offering to do LPC and BVC work KNOWING that this is a breach of the ethics code?

Jennifer

I am still waiting for your facts and figures on how many writers have had a 300% fine levied against them plus your response to Vika in another thread where he exposed the fact that YOUR company employs ESL writers tut tut!!

The company you promote ENCORAGES cheating BY allowing students to buy custom written essays knowing FULL well that many submit these as their own work

The company also BLATANTLY encourages BVC students to get opinions written - A breach of the professional ethics for barristers- which I have provided proof of before. How can you possibly claim not to encourage cheating when you promote such sites? You are a liar and a fraud and let's hope they decided to make an example of you and remove your right to declare that you are a FILEX member. Won't look quite so impressive when your spouting your abilities.

I am sure Barclay will retain your services unless the reputation of his company is threatened through adverse publicity if ILEX opt to make your removal public.


The only communication I have had with you outside of the forum was the email I sent you showing you the exorbitant fine which Jennifer claimed to be untrue.

For the record Jennifer, you state that such fines are rare, how many times have such ifnes been imposed and how many writers have had 300% fines whikst you have been employed by them?

Its not the company that you work for that concerns them its your ethical behaviour of encouraging cheating.

From the tone of the rest of the email they sent to me they did not seem to be aware of your activities which would seem to suggest that you have either not told them or have been economic with the truth.

I look forward to future correspondence with them as well as further dialogue with the law society and the bar council. Maybe you won't be around as long as you anticipate!!

oh how the truth does hurt hey Jennifer?

STOP spinning your lies, STOP promoting your conning site on here. Go find an advertising forum and promote to your hearts content. I will continue to expose your lies and deceit until you stop spouting such garbage on sites like this.

If your site was so fantastic there would be NO complaints on sites like this.

Oh and by the way I had a lovely email from ILEX today saying

Thank you for raising your concerns about the integrity of one of our members this has been passed to our professional standards body who will investigate your allegation and will report back to you with our findings in due course.

From experience if you present a solid case AND explain WHY fixing the problem would be INAPPROPRIATE then the courts WILL award in your favour as was recently the case with one such matter I dealt with concerning a car that was unroadworthy. The garage were insisting on the opportunity to put it right, however the court upheld the right of my client to rescind the contract and to be refunded for the cost of the vehicle as well as making the garage pay for the hire vehicle my client had used AND damages for the inconvenience caused.

There was NO REQUIREMENT that my client had to allow the garage to put things right as in the opinion of the court they should have been right from the start.

I don't care about your career goals or WHAT you aspire to be. I do however care when you tell BLATANT lies to people, PRETEND to be something you are NOT and BLATANTLY promote a site that ENCOURAGES cheating, HAS little respect for the UK education system, BELITTLES the law school rules by encouraging STUDENTS to get their BVC work and LPC work done for them as well as LYING on various sites around the web about your FICTITIONAL LPC pass (which I note that you have NOW stopped claiming to have passed). Your arrogance at assuming that everyone here would buy the rubbish you spout is unbelievable.

You have the integrity of a pharisee. you ought to apply to become a government 'spin doctor' with the fabrications that spill from your mouth

Actually there is NO REQUIREMENT that you have to give the company a chance to put it right

Jennifer is STILL grasping at something she hopes to ONE DAY BE!!!

When you consider that UK essays only pays the writer £30 to £40 per 1000 words they are getting quite a tidy profit just for the admin side of things and matching writer to customer.

You will get the same writers for these projects which ever price you pay as all projects are sent out the the writers for them to bid on.

Some writers will take on private customers and will charge considerably less as they have no overheads etc to worry about. I know of several ex writers of UK essays that do exactly this and charge between £40 - £60 per 1000 words and still guarantee the quality expected. A genuine writer will pride themselves in producing quality work and although you do not get the same promises made by the large companies, if you find a really good writer you won't need any of these fancy promises.

Thanks for giving me permission to report you to ILEX (not that I needed your permission I just did it anyway) As for having too much time on my hands I usually go on in the evenings as a way of relaxing after a hard day at work. Given I probably earn considerably more than you in one day I don't need to write for a company that rips writers off. When I did work for you this was not to make a massive amount of money but as a way of keeping the old grey cells active AND I thought I was writing for universities NOT students.

Oh and by the way saying THIS THREAD IS CLOSED doesn't make it happen just like saying YOU ARE A LAWYER doesn't make you a lawyer. Get the picture!!!

I think you mean WHO IS REALLY A LAWYER AND NOT PRETENDING TO BE ONE!!

Show me 1 post of mine were I promote *********- not possible because I don't as I have never had any connecion whatsoever with this company.

I have absolutely no connection with Mak or WB but I have plenty of connections with the law society and the bar council.

WB is in america and I am in UK- ask the bar council :)

Ha ha Ha ha ha that is the best joke I have heard in ages and an utter load of garbage. As a member of the law society I can assure you that this is utter tosh. You ARE NOT A LAWYER no matter how much you would like to be YOU ARE A LEGAL EXECUTIVE a lowly version of a lawyer. Try applying to a law firm and you will be asked how many years PQE you have - in your case none as you have NOT passed the LPC. A lawyer gains the right to call themselves a lawyer by passing this exam A barrister gains the right to be called a barrister by passing the BVC - which I have also done and am a member of the bar council and the inns of court in London.

Legal executives CANNOT claim to be lawyers and WILL not be taken on by a firm as a lawyer,

You CLAIM to be a LAWYER and you are a FRAUD. I have spoken to my colleagues at the law society today and they will be checking the CLAIMS you are making. Thanks for this post I will include this in my report to them tomorrow.

Oh and for your information designated case workers and high court advocates work for CPS but are not LAWYERS they are caseworkers that have worked their way up and have the right of audience in certain courts.

Archaic as it may seem only barristers get to wear wigs and appear in some of the higher courts, though recent changes have allowed lawyers and other lowly legal workers such as legal execs and paralegals to worj in certain courts.

Guess I don't need to do anymore to prove I could run rings round you in the legal sphere since I not only have an LPC but also have a BVC and certificates to prove it and my name in the law society annals as well as logged with the bar council and the inns of court.

The role of a Legal Executive is so similar to that of a solicitor that the average client is unlikely to be able to distinguish between them.

Quote taken from

ilexcareers.org.uk/what_is_a_legal_executive.aspx

Similar to a solicitor NOT a solicitor.

ILEX might like to think they are LAWYERS but the fact remains that a person is only entitled to call themselves a LAWYER when they pass the LPC AND are listed by the Law Society.

And the silence from Jennifer is deafening!

At least she has learned something today- it is not wise to challenge the knowledge of someone on a particular topic unless you know who that person is and what there background or qualifications are.

I wonder if the law society might decide to make an example of Jennifer for claiming to have completed the LPC when she hasn't. Professional ethics don't seem to come into her world. Wonder also if FILEX are aware that she passes herself off as qualified as a lawyer despite not having completed the LPC.

The ILEX Code of Conduct

A member, in his professional life and employment, shall so conduct himself and the matters of which he has conduct, in such a manner:

As to avoid any action or situation which may bring disrepute upon the Institute or its members;

As to avoid doubt being cast upon his own professional integrity
As will assist the impartial administration of justice
As will recognise that the interests of the client are paramount to those of all others, save that at all times and in all matters a member's primary and overriding duty is to the court and shall observe and be bound by this Code of Conduct and the Guides to Good Practice issued from time to time by the Institute.

Read your code of conduct Jennifer - I think your recommendation that LPC and BVC students should use AK's services to complete their course might suggest you lack of professional integrity as does your assertion that you have completed the LPC and are qualified as a lawyer.

Maybe its the veiled threats written into the contract that persuades Mak to remain anonymous like me.

I sent the evidence to WB who I trust since she has no beneficial interest in any of the sites and she can verify the email I sent with the exorbitant fine, That's proof enough for me.

or your lack of them so it would seem- This goes towards demonstrating the integrity (or lack of) of the poster.

Thanks I prefer anonymity to veiled threats which I am sure would ensue if I made my identity know!

Given that the amount fined was £240 and it costs £80 to start a claim online AND the whole business of essay writing is regarded as shady anyway there is little point. I put this down to experience and made the best decision I could ever make and quit. The purpose of my post is not to try to recoup the money your company swiped from me but to warn others of your shady practice.

Oh and no Jennifer you do not have an LPC- This I can prove through communication with the law society. And yes it is important to expose your lie as it shows the type of person you are and the type of company you represent. If you can lie about your qualifications you can certainly lie about how you treat your writers and customers.

As mentioned in a previous post I was initially offered employment under the misapprehension that I was writing model answers for the university not doing the students work so that they could submit MY work as THEIR own. Maybe I should pusue a claim under misrepresentation too!!!

Here's one site where our Jeny CLAIMS to be a lawyer

markmyessay.com/team.html

and this one

zoominfo.com/Search/PersonDetail.aspx?PersonID=-45444

as well as here

leedstrinity.ac.uk/news_events/news/Pages/Tocheatornottocheat%E2% 80%93thatistheessayquestion.aspx

and also here

forums.tvtrecords.com/profile.jspa?userID=46699

Now try to explain that Jennifer when you are not registered with the law society AS a lawyer but are claiming in various places to be a lawyer Tut Tut professional integrity NIL

But you have claimed to have passed the LPC and this simply is not true otherwise you would be listed with the law society FACT. You are not listed with the law society AND I CAN PROVE THIS ergo the assumption MUST be that you failed the LPC hence the career change to become a menial LEGAL EXECUTIVE.

As for the assertion that I am a disgruntled ex writer for your company YES i ONCE wrote for your company BUT QUIT after being told that a fine of 300% would apply when a STUDENT who SUBMITTED MY WORK AS THEIR OWN CLAIMED to have not got the grade they wanted. And AK DO NOT ALLOW STUDENTS TO SUBMIT THE WORK AS THEIR OWN SO YOU CLAIM. IF this were the case then how come you proposed to fine me 300% for the essay NOT getting the grade the student wanted. Surely IF the student had used it as a guideline AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO, they would not be able to make such an assertion as the grade they received would be on their OWN work not mine!!!

Maybe I should circulate the particular piece to all the UK universities to see if the student suddenly rings you telling you they have been chucked out for plagiarism. Of course YOU will now refer to the CONTRACT you have writers sign which states that WE give up all rights to the finished piece and that DISTRIBUTION of ANY of our work to ANY other body will RESULT in the company taking legal action against the writer.

Ahh but that just is not true is it Jennifer- just like it is also not true that you are a qualified lawyer (least the law society do not acknowledge you as having passed the LPC and I guess they would know whether you did or didn't)

I forwarded the email I received from AK to WB showing I was fined 300% for an issue where the customer claimed that the essay THEY SUBMITTED TO THEIR UNIVERSITY DID NOT GET THE GRADE THEY ANTICIPATED, And AK claim that customers are discouraged from submitting these as their own!!Surely the customer should have been told ' you should not have submitted this as your own work so tough - no refund' As if AK would do that!

And am I really supposed to believe you lost £240 as a result of this? You call this a fair amount?

I notice how Jennifer side stepped the issue regarding her so called claims to have passed the LPC.

Thank you for your advice.

I will maintain distance from these sites.

One company that does pay writers really well AND looks after the customer really well is studyhood.com. Marinos, the guy who runs the company, does not lie about his location and freely declares that the company is based in Greece and Cyprus. The ine drawback is that he gets very few UK customers. Most of his customers are based in Greece or Cyprus, but Marinos does insist that the writer MUST be the same nationality as the customer. For this reason there is not much work for UK writers with this company, as he does not publicise his website very much and therefore does not get many students finding his site through a google search.

He pays monthly in Euros and is meticulous at checking the work to ensure that it meets the required standard. He employs the services of several professors etc to check the quality of the work submitted by the writer and also encourages the student to participate in the process of producing the essay.

I have only done 3 for him so far this year but recieved just under £1500 for those 3 pieces of work.

I have no connection with the running of this company whatsoever but just wanted to make people on here aware of the fact that some companies are genuine in declaring their location and do treat the customer and the writer in a proper manner.

I never claimed that the quality of the essays was poor- after all I used to write for them and I always produced a well researched piece of work worthy of a good grade. The problem with this company is the atrocious way they treat their writers.

I for one used to dread the few days after submitting a piece in case the customer wanted extra adding. I was constantly worrying that the work would be challenged by the quality department and a fine would follow. As a writer with no direct contact with the customer you could never be certain whether the quality department had had a complaint or request for an amendment or whether they were using this department to deduct money from you.

They aren't. They endorse students submitting the work as their own by fining their writers 300% if the student hands the work in as their own and does not get the grade they want.

JenniferAA is in charge of the quality department there. if you read the threads you will see just how unethical she is since she purports to have passed the LPC but is however not listed with the law society which generally means that she didnt pass the LPC.

This company also run sites specifically for LPC and BVC students. It is against the professional code of conduct for barristers to have any assistance in writing their assessed opinions, but they don't care about that so long as they are getting paid.

The law society and the bar council have been made aware of these issues and hopefully will be giving them a call in the near future.

As an ex writer for this company DO NOT WRITE for them. They also go under the name of UKessays and others. See the posts on UKessays and you will know why to avoid them.

They fine their writers 300% for late submissions, customer complaints re quality, and £5000 for plagiarism issues. I left after being charged 300% when the student claimed that the essay did not get the grade she wanted after she handed in the work as her own!

Oh my god I do not have enough hours in the day to perform this task lol. It would be easier to try to find more than 3 words joined together that are grammatically correct then to show all your errors lol

Mmm so which is it lol. In one you say you are here to get work the other you say you are not promoting yourself. Surely both of these quotes cannot be right.

Either - you are here to promote yourself but are doing an appalling job because your use of grammatically correct language is equivalent to a pre-schooler

or- you are here to warn people not to hire you because you cannot string a sentence together without glaringly obvious errors.

If your last statement is true that you are not here to promote yourself I can only assume that you have come on here to demonstrate the incorrect use of the English language and reaffirm the reasons why students should check the ability of the writer to be able to write coherently before hiring them.

I very much doubt it since this was probably 3 years ago that I received it. I quit your company quite some time ago and started my own legitimate business not as a writer.

Due to the way that the email was worded i passed this to several of my friends and colleagues who also started writing for your company also believing these were model answers for universities. These friends have also quit mostly due to ethically issues although some have simply not got the time to do it anymore and others had issues regarding the fines, and the way they were treated by the company as a whole.

this is not a site designed to promoter your writing skills (or in your case - the lack of them) This is a site designed to expose fraudsters and cheats. Students who have had bad experiences are encouraged to name and shame the rip off companies- likewise with writers who are here to warn other writers of the sites to avoid approaching for work.

I came here to warn others about UKessays scam as did Mak and WB just fills the gaps in on the rest of them cos she ahs more time to dedicate to this then most of the rest of us have (and that is not meant as an insult WB)

You are here for self promotion and are doing an appalling job as your grammatical skills are atrocious and barely above the level of a pre-schooler. I feel really sorry for anyone that ends up with a piece of your drivel to use as a guideline. Heaven forbid the result if they are daft enough to submit it as their own work!

What are you on? who ever said I was single? I do not recall ever being asked my marital status. I am actually very happily married and have been so for a number of years not that that is any business of yours. I also have more than 1 child but only one grandchild at the present time.

You really are showing your lack of comprehension skills and immaturity to a new degree. Thank goodness I do not have to suffer the indignity of purchasing an essay from someone with such a low intellect. I pity any students who inadvertently get you as a writer. They might just as well go rifling through the neighbours refuse bins - they would get the same amount of rubbish from there as they would from any work produced by you.

I initially joined up with UKessays in the mistaken belief that these essays were being sold to universities as model answers. Indeed the first email I had from this company purported to be associated with birmingham university. I had no reason to doubt that the essays would be used in this way especially since I had previously written model answers for colleges and universities.

When I discovered that students were using these sites and passing them off as their own work I was annoyed at having been conned into believing that the work would not be used in this manner. I found out that these were being used in this way through an email from the quality department which stated that the customer had complained that the essay did not get the requested grade. It was obvious that the essay had therefore been submitted without alteration otherwise the customer would not have been able to claim that the essay did not get the required grade if they had altered the paper into their own words.

I did what any reputable person would do and quit and now only assist with proof reading and editing services as well as online tuition in some cases. I find this rewarding morally and am happy not to be associated with assisting a student to cheat to succeed.

Jennifer tries to maintain that UKessays do not encourage plagiarism and that students do not normally submit these as their own- well if that is true why then was this article published in Feb 2008

sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/bystudents/Website-selling-essays-for-300.3825070. jp

Looks like plagiarism is rife and the main culprit encouraging this is UKessays.

And the fact that you are not registered with the law society I think proves my point that you are not qualified as a solicitor. I was also amused to see that there are several links to you through google and in several you CLAIM to be a lawyer tut tut. Did you know it is a criminal act to pass yourself off as something you are not. In one such link you CLAIM to be a litigation LAWYER for Freeth Cartwright LLP however your name does not appear on their list of solicitors. I am guessing you worked for them as a legal executive but after failing the LPC decided to move on to your new role with ukessays.

I have expressed my concern about you claiming to be a lawyer to the law society so maybe you will also have a call from them as well as the bar council!

Isn't it strange how quiet jennifer has suddenly gone? exposed as a fraud she goes away to lick her wounds! Freeth Cartwright were rather amused that you were trying to pass yourself as a lawyer (not) lol

At least you didn't lie about your FILEX qualification - I did see you listed in there as a member!

Sounds like your almost saying that it doesn't matter if he hands it in as his own as the writer wouldn't know the customers identity.

sent you the content of an email i received from jenny's company which proves the 300% fine i have mentioned in here

Oh of course Mak has to be a disgruntled customer- why else would he want to expose a company that rips off its writers and blatantly promotes its writing services on a site that clearly states recommendations are not allowed? (tongue-in-cheek)

Mak couldn't possibly doing this to warn writers not to join and students to shop around rather then pay through the nose for a service they really don't need.

This site is designed for customers who have had a bad experience as well as writers who have been used and abused NOT to promote a particular company and suggest to students that the use of essay writing sites is ok so long as you dont get caught.

BTW heard from the bar council yet? Love to be a fly on the wall when you do!!

My advice would be to check the essay you have paid for and see of you can find the same resources that the writer used in the piece. If these are available to you either electronically or in paper form you can these access these yourself and decide how to use these in your own piece.

If you use the paper you bought for ideas only and develop those ideas in your own style etc then you should be ok. Whoever wrote the paper for you would have had to have access to the sources quoted so it is likely that these saem sources are available globally. this would mean that if you hadn't approached one of these companies you might feasibly have found these sources from your own initiative.

By no means hand this in as your own work as this will be what the lecturer is looking for. using the ideas in the essay would not be considered plagiarism if you accessed the same sources and then did your own interpretation of the article accessed. remember to properly cite the pieces you have accessed and if they are internet based include the date on which you actually went on that site. using a pre-written essay in this manner is no different to consulting a model answer. if the sources quoted are easily accessible to you and it is obvious from the content of your work that you have read those sources then the lecturer could not accuse you of plagiarism. developing the ideas in the essay you bought and adding your own interpretation shows that you were only using this as a guideline.

alternatively if there was more than one question you could do for your course (and there usually is) you could do an entirely different question and then there is no way you could be accused of using an essay writing service.

So you cant prove your qualifications - fair enough. I guess anyone wanting a law essay writing from UKessays might want to ask for this not to be assigned to you - especially if they are LPC students lol.

And just what are you here for? to promote a dodgy essay writing site that treats its writers appallingly. Is the credit crunch hitting the company and students are having to decide whether to spend money on food and rent rather than exorbitantly priced toilet paper that MIGHT get them the grade they desire without having to change any of the content.

But in that article above it wasn't Barclay making the declaration, it was some other guy who apparently had never been a member of the bar council. Oh and by the way passing the bar exams does not make someone a barrister, completing a pupillage and going into practice does.

When did you supposedly pass your LPC as your name will have appeared in the law society journal as all the law schools publish the names of the newly qualified students? You keep asking people to prove the complaints they make so I am sure you wont mind proving your qualifications especially as you are a self professed writer.

An ex writer out of choice not because my contract was terminated by you. I DECIDED TO VOTE WITH MY FEET WHEN YOU STARTED RIPPING MY FRIENDS AND I OFF.

Including the promises made by the companies Jennifer represents. they treat their writers appallingly and allow students to cheat. Getting a good piece of work is a lottery. It is impossible for ANY company to guarantee a particular grade since individual lecturers can have harsher grading systems then others. When I was at university a long time ago one of the lecturers there frequently downmarked work if she thought it would make the student work harder on the next piece. She openly admitted this to the group and when the head of the department was asked to deal with this matter he just laughed saying that it was 'a quirk of her nature and she often does things like that'.

Here's an interesting article about mr ukessays (apparently unable to secure pupillage after training) Maybe now we can see why he promotes cheating. A disgruntled barrister unable to continue further in his career because no one wanted to give him a pupillage.
