A New claims and exit company has just come up on the radar, Meredith Pritchard. They have a website which was registered on 6 October 2016 by a Stephen Fairclough, the address given is:
Regus House, Herons Way, Chester. CH4 9QR. This is a Regus office rental unit.
The website shows no information about the company at all, apart from a Chester telephone number: 01244 893100.
There is also a company by the name of Meredith Pritchard Claims Consultants Ltd, Reg No: 10395171 registered at Company House on 26 September 2016. The registered address is given as:
Unit 8/9 Parsons Court, Welbury Way, Aycliffe Business Park, Newton Aycliffe, Co Durham, England, DL5 6ZE This address is a business park.
The Director for this company is listed as: Stephen Paul Fairclough. So it would be safe to say that they are one and the same. (see PDFs below)

On the home page they state that they use a hand picked team of international lawyers, they also state they have a proven system for cancellation of timeshare which stops future maintenance fees and a payment of compensation on completion.
The About Us section shows very little and also reiterates the use of “Hand Picked” highly professional and qualified lawyers. They also claim to have a “worldwide network of legal Professionals”. But it is the start of the piece which has had a few of us laughing: “When the holiday ownership legislation changed, we seen a niche in the market to provide a first class service”. For a firm that has so many “highly professional people” working with them, their grammer has a lot to be desired.
When we then move into the legislation section, it again shows they really don’t know what is going on, they cite the 1994 EU Timeshare Directive (94/47/EC) and also use the old name for the RDO, which was OTE. This directive was replaced by EU DIRECTIVE 2008/122/EC which came into force in 2009. Within the articles they mention the 10 day cooling off period, which was changed to 14 days, so with all those lawyers they are a little out of date!
Then we come to the example sentences section, here they show three court documents, one against Silverpoint, one for Anfi and a Supreme Court judgement again against Anfi. Good news for those clients, the only thing is these documents are on the website of Canarian Legal Alliance, who have also confirmed that they are their clients cases. Again for a company that has only been registered for a little over 2 months, this is very swift work to be able to get a Supreme Court ruling, especially considering the first one which CLA did achieve took them 6 years!
The last two sections, news and contact us show absolutely nothing, on the contacts page it is a basic form with name, email, subject and message sections. The website itself shows no company registrations, no addresses or whether they are registered as a claims company with the Ministry of Justice or if they have any ties with any other regulatory body. There is not even a mention of any law firm they work with.
It is also not very clear as to how the “claims” and “compensation” will be paid out, is this through court action or do they just relinquish and try to claim under section 75?
Going back to the home page they do have three testimonials from happy clients:
Thank you. After a harrowing few years at long last someone has managed to get us free from our timeshare. Once again thank you

This is certainly a company to keep an eye on, after all, with all they have achieved in just 2 months, they will certainly be a legal force to be reckoned with! Look out timeshare companies there is a new sheriff in town!
