Maybe their next get rich quick business will be personal injury claims. After all they know how to injure people, both financially, psychologically and even physically.
Since this article was first written Fields Group which incorporates UK Digital Solutions and Fields Associates, Quickie Divorce, Action Direct and Injunction Online have been settling out of court with victims of their various Papermills operations.
Visa Action has had its OISC registration revoked.
Action Direct has been sanctioned by the Ministry of Justice and ordered to cease offerring most of its services. Fields have also been posting fake reviews and review websites. They have bullied and even used their injunction direct serving operation to attack their victims to the point of harrassment to inflict personal financial and even physical injury on those who have complained.
570 complaints to Bridgend Trading Standards is just a fraction of those affected, almost half Fields revenues are from outside the UK and International victims from Europe, North America and South East Asia have little chance of getting help from the UK authorities.
Fields use the revenues they make to employ their own full time complaints department and in house legal team to use the monies they receive to bat off complaints with legal challenges with threats of financial ruin.
The data-recovery-blog.com forum for the victims of Fields Data Recovery also attracted many victims of Quickie Divorce and Action Direct. The full extent of this Governement GRANT FUNDED corporations modus operandi has yet to be exposed but the pattern of defrauding consumers is well documented.
The exposing of Fields has helped many victims to gain refunds.
I too was awarded an extra-ordinary damages settlement after Fields attempted to use their "in house legal team" to bring a vexatious claim against me. read "have you been mulcted"
Fields solicitor stated in court to the Judge that Fields have :- " a good working relationship with Bridgend Trading Standards going back 5 years" what an extra-ordinary claim to make !
For those of you have been on the receiving end of the Fields Data Recovery scam it may come as no surprise that Fields still cannot recover drives that their expensive forensic reports or leading data recovery experts say are beyond recovery yet other labs recover.
Most will never know how they were defrauded... 570 Complaints to Trading Standards Bridgend and 10 interventions..... no wonder Fields have a full time complaints department !

"Quickie" Not QUICK-E Divorce
Many unaware of the £multi-million online papermill scams and internet fraudsters may be wondering why The DRC Directory would have a news article about online divorce.
The connection between what consumers have described as "data recovery scams" and online divorce complaints is the Fields Group Ltd
Fields Associates / Quickie Divorce / Tribunal Action / UK Digital Solutions of Bridgend near Cardiff Wales.

The Group operates as a Papermill / document spooling servicescompany which makes its profits from dozens of get quick rich ideas like Will Writing, CV Writing, Industrial Tribunal, Debt Management, Payment Protection Insurance Claims, Visa Application Writing and Car Park Notice collections - but beware many of these operations are bogus and designed to extract fees from the unsuspecting.
Rlanderton75 7 months ago Do not use this company or its sister company Quickie Divorce. The website is fine the service is great; that is until you pay. I started talking with managed divorce in April 2010, I paid half of the fee as agreed and here we are in August £150 out of pocket and most certainly no more near divorce than i was 4 months ago. My divorce is not tricky no money property or children involved. Bridgend Trading Standards are currently invetigating this company, so clearly i am not the only complainant. Dont risk it! DO NOT USE Managed Divorce or Quickie Divorce. Their service is terrible and inefficient if they help you at all. If you are of moderate intelligence you are quite able to fill in all the forms yourself, which is what i ended up doing in the end. They are available for free online. Do not beleive anything you read on the website. The words ''Stress Free'' are used copiously. It is anything but.
If they offered the service they advertised it could potentially make it easier. However, the website doesnt work and once you have given them any money they rarely or never answer the phone, or call you back, or respond to emails. The phone is never answered and you are never given any opportunity to leave a message. All you hear is a message that says '' Your call is valuable to us so call back later''. What a joke! Dunnsamonster 2 weeks ago Managed Divorce use a firm of solicitors called "The Law Practice". The first solicitor got me muddled with another person with the same name, and the second (a replacement) refused to answer any queries made. You either were told that she would ring you back that day or that you could book a telephone appointment, neither of which commitment was ever honoured. Managed Divorce promises your own case manager throughout the process and also the advice, when required, of a solicitor. These promises are never honoured, and the "no quibble 100% refund guarantee" is greeted by indifference. quoting terms and conditions. I would advise anyone strongly against using a service that hides sharp practice under a caring facade. Please Please Please don't use this company. Going through what is already a difficult experience is made that much harder and stressful through the involvement of this company. Nearly 8 months on I am still far from the finishing line of what was indicated to be a straight forward process. Much like many of the reviews above the company are quick to be attentive and responsive whilst waiting to take your money but once the funds are transferred be ready to face endless evenings waiting for someone to answer the phone, countless hours chasing lost post of important documents supposedly sent to you, meaning duplicates and more costs having to be incurred and the worst implication of course is the further prolonged wait for completion. When they do pick up the phone, the voice on the other phone is no more helpful than a plank of wood , simply informing you that they are unsure as to what the delays are and that they hope to have soemone come back to you. Doesn't happen. I know it costs a little more but my suggestion would be to seek professional services and have the job done properly and quickly. It makes me angry that companies like this take advantage of indiviudals already facing an unpleasant experience. Unfortunately you may feel inclined to stay with them in the hope that the lax service will resolve itself and it will be quicker than starting all over again, instead please just never start with this company to begin with. |
Are these genuine mistakes, unavoidable errors, breakdowns in communications or other failings of a business ? , Or are these symptomatic of businesses designed to get the most money out of a consumer for the least effort ?. Sometimes referred to as Papermills - by those who claim to be their victims, these companies basically make their substantial profits by charging for reports and paperwork but little else using document spooling services.
Yet the complaints continue to accumulate and 570 complaints to Bridgend Trading Standards really is remakable.

Despite the Fields Group ISO 9001 accreditation the number of consumers reporting unusual situations for complaints continues to climb and so do the court cases read What Do They Know Update June 2011.
Using document spooling to make money instead of being the most economical price for the consumer, it is not unknown for them to charge for over 10 times the cost of their genuine competitors. Using the profits to dominate PPC by bidding up the price of the sponsored pay per click advertising bids and swamping out genuine competitors.

Bearing the cost of advertising for business against an operation which makes its profits in a very differrent and uncompetitive way and encouraging its commission based sales teams with slogans like "sector domination through unrelenting growth" and "we control the market" ... "we control the competition".... "we control the price".........."we control the consumer" .... " we will sue anyone who stands in our way". is costly to a small businesses marketing budget and PPC advertising is not cheap especially if you are under attack from the click fraudsters..

Complaints received by Trading Standards ****
Here is a post from another company which is receiving calls from affected consumers of Quickie Divorce ***
"If anyone visiting this forum is having a terrible experience with either quickie-divorce.com, managed-Divorce.Com or Clean-break.Com then we at Divorce-Online can help take on your case and get it finished for you. We have been getting complaints every week recently about their services and have been advising clients on how to get chargebacks on their credit cards.
We have decided that we cannot allow these people to get away with their shoddy service and will give any customer of the above sites a 25% discount on our services so we can ensure they get what they need.
Divorce is not like selling a can of beans or a CD it is a personal and often emotional journey which means you have to support your clients through the process.
The problem with these document mills is they do not have a family law background, they come from an internet marketing background and have picked on what they see as an easy way to make a lot of cash quickly without regard for the type of people who will be wanting their services.
