Report
Very unreliable and unprofessional company . Advised me to go not guilty in court and asked me to produce evidence and got my court case adjourned which took a whole of 6 months to then send off for a guilty plea on my behalf without my concent . I spoke to the manager of the firm who told me to get my papers transferred if I was not happy and hung up. They do not care about you they just care about the money
