newbie here. Just curious as every time I apply for a job I find the email comes back from academic answers as well as the company it advertised under. does anyone know the companies under this umbrella or even the ones that are not, so as to avoid this embarrassing situation?

incidentally I found a list claiming to include all essay companies, useful for anyone who wants to write for any of these companies or even use them for essays It has taken me ages to find something like this, tho it is 2007

jiscpas.ac.uk/documents/resources/Plagiarism%20Detection%20-%20Essay%20Banks%20v0%204.pdf

thanks all

Hello Writingpot,

I work for Academic Answers, I'm not able to post links here, but if you visit our website (or type it in Google, it's first.) If you click 'about us' and then on the left menu click 'portfolio' you'll see a list of all of our websites. There's no need to apply for more than one website, so this list will help you wasting your time filling out all of our forms...!

Good luck!

writingpot DONT apply to academic knowledge. They will find any excuse to fine you 300% meaning you could lose all your month's salary for just one essay. Be warned

Are you a writer or a customer. In this post, you portray yourself as a writer (one who suffered a 300% fine). In another, however, you warn students that were they to purchase from UKessays, the work delivered will, undoubtedly, be "shoddy." In that post, you give the impression that you are a customer.

I am confused:

1) are you a customer and, if so, how would you know about the fine structure?
2) are you a writer who produced "shoddy" work and were, rightly, called to order?

Writing pot im neither a customer or a writer for them but i know of one person who used to write for them. He was looking forward to his £1560 which he worked hard for but academic knowledge pounced and took it away with a 300% fine. He already had financial problems and virtually begged them to at give him that money because he had children and a mortgage but all they said was "the fine stands". I personally despise such people. I know a person though who killed himself after getting a plariasied paper from these rip off merchants. His uni failed him. I knew his family and his sister told me that he had bought a plagiarised paper from ukessays. Here is the story. Even his sadass lecturer wouldn't forgive him. Sad case but my advise is that you should neither work nor purchase for/from such companies.

Vishkanya, who are you? Writer? Customer? In some posts, you claim to be a customer:

You unequivocally dispute the contention that you are a writer:

well im not a writer nor can i be arsed to write for essays for essay companies

Again, you deny that you are a customer:

Writing pot im neither a customer

You need to get your story straight.

As for this whole thing about a student committing suicide because he received a plagiarised essay from ukessays, do you think any believe you? I read the article you cited and, nowhere was UKessays mentioned.

This whole thing about `a friend told me' is tired and old. Few fall for it.

My problem with `imaginative' posts is very simple. Wild accusations, untruthful complaints, etc. negatively reflect upon the genuine ones. Customers and writers who were really scammed are grouped with the `I am pretending to have been cheated because of ulterior motives' posts.

Keep the complaints truthful, please; keep the accusations believable. Do not turn this forum into some kind of `let's spread rumours about the competition' arena.

he asked me if i was a customer of ukessays. No im not. I was a customer on essaybay which what this refers to -

vishkanya:
Don't assign your work to muntazir unless you want to fail. I did and got 31% but that was my fault for choosing him. He's writes likes a 4 year old

Well i dont give a monkeys whether or not you believe me. Im just warning customers that they should either do their work themselves or get a decent company to do it. As for you WRT i can tell you are an employee of academic knowledge so you cant fool anyone.

Academic AnswersActually, I am not. We are competitors but, some believe that competition can be `clean.' If you have a legitimate complaint, I'll clap my hands raw but, as far as I can see, your posts are contradictory.

Again - if you are an essaybay customer, why are you going on and on about their 300% fine. You gave everyone the impression that you were the downtrodden writer. Turns out that you are not.

Had you stuck to your negative experiences as a customer, I would have been very eager to listen. You didn't, though, did you?

1) you claimed that you know a student who committed suicide as a direct consequence of UKessays' quality of service. You referenced an article as evidence. Guess what? Your so-called evidence proves nothing. The company's name is not mentioned at all, nor is it stated that the student was ever accused of plagiarism.

2) you claimed that they fined you 300% and then amended your statement, claiming that they fined a friend. Again, why are you here? Why isn't your friend here?

3) in some posts you clearly identify yourself as a customer

4) in other posts you explicitly state that you are a writer

I believe that I am perfectly justified in not believing you.

Fining is wrong and unacceptable but, I cannot sympathise with writers who agreed to it in the first place.

You claim that the fine was unjustified. How so? Give us facts to go by; any facts to believe and support you.

WB, Pheelyks, american_writer, texaswriter and any Americans here ... Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your holiday :)

WRT i used to be a writer for Academic answers quite some time ago and was also a victim of their 300% fine system. They refused to reconsider despite the fact that I did the extra work requested by the customer.

I quit immediately and do not regret my decision one iota as they used to constantly bombard you with emails as well as keep pestering to get you to become a staff writer so that they can force you to do all the crap that no one else wants to do.

Exwriter - you, I believe. Your story has always been consistent. I do not, however, believe the other poster. His/her story is full of inconsistencies. At one point, s/he claims to be a writer and, at another, a customer. Ultimately, says s/he is neither.

When people use this forum for the sole purpose of dissing other companies, it is simply not right. The line between the legitimate and the false complaints is blurring. It is important to point out the senseless complaints before they drown out the legitimate ones.

UK Essays / Academic Answers / Exist?



I was checking the site Ukessays.com which looks like a legit UK based company, however when I do a search for them on Companies House register the company, 'Academic Answers Limited' does not exist.

Is this company no longer registered in the UK?

Students

If a site is UK-based and is registered at Companies House it is legit. These sites are like this:

UKessays.com (Academic Knowledge)

and a few more.

The tag .co.uk does not necessarily mean it is in the UK or legit.

However, what you should do is use the COMPANIES HOUSE NUMBER displayed at the bottom of every legitimate site webpage, and then use that for a Companies House Websearch. Pretty obvious research really: use the number, not the name.

But you are right not to trust any site that is not listed there. Good luck.

I did do that, but the company number brings up this:

Name & Registered Office:
ALL ANSWERS LIMITED
GOELAND HOUSE 178 ST. ALBANS ROAD
ARNOLD
NOTTINGHAM
NOTTS
NG5 6GW
Company No. 04964706

Any company claiming to be located in the UK without a Companies House number should of course not be trusted. There are legitimate non-UK sites, however, and there are companies registered with the Companies House that are still ripoffs--the oxbridge sites, for example. But you know that, Melissa.

ALL companies with Limited stated and registered at Companies House, London are legitimate. ALL OF THEM! If they were not, they would be removed immediately.

We in the UK are not fraudsters and scammers like the Americans, with their Worldcoms and Enrons and Madoffs. The USA is full of scam sites (many posters here are from them - e.g. WritersBeware and Phleeks), and all are now in the US or Asia.

Phleeks you are an American white trash moron, so what the F do you know about MY country and its essay sites? NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!

Shows that you are not from the UK, have never been to the UK and do not know anything of the country. RBS doesn't mean anything to you, does it?

ALL companies with Limited stated and registered at Companies House, London are legitimate. ALL OF THEM! If they were not, they would be removed immediately.

Melissa, even you cannot be that ignorant! It seems that you are.

Some sites allegedly encourage you to use their plagiarism software.

Don't you know any better than to say that? You are in a world of trouble as it is ...

Hello, I've not read through this thread entirely, but just a quickie to let you know I work for Academic Answers. We're currently undergoing a name change to 'All Answers' which will better suit the direction we're moving in as a business. This has not been changed on our websites yet, but will be edited in due course.

You'll notice on the Companies house page at the bottom, it says 'previous names' and Academic Answers is listed.

Thanks,
Carly AA

There's no need to apply for more than one website,

It appears he keeps getting rejected as a writer applicant at the umbrella sites. Sounds to me like the OP does not qualify to write for any of your companies. It would have been better if you had just told him the main reason he keeps getting rejected. Put him out of his misery. Rather than giving him false hopes as you did in your post.

Every writing company has at least 3 affiliate companies. However, these companies continue to disavow one another regardless of the evidence that clearly proves the relationship of each company. It would be impossible to list the umbrella companies here as their listing changes everyday.

It could be more or less in member depending upon the current status of the network. Company sites are taken down, depending on the need. The faster a tentacle becomes problematic in terms of client relationship, the faster that company is taken down from the internal list.

This is what makes it difficult to apply for jobs with them. You apply at one company and get hired by the other. Don't bother trying to keep the companies straight All the orders and up on the same writer server anyway.
