I'm ashamed to say that I worked for Ben Reynolds for a short time back in 2012 when his company was called Crown Lawyers. Same story as these, he'd get us to find people with debts, take a fee from them and then cut off all contact with them. Supposedly we'd get a commission for every job taken on, but he'd tell us that the person had decided not to go ahead with recovering their debt and so we got nothing. We then found out that they had agreed to pursue the debt and Ben just wanted to avoid paying us what was agreed. He also screwed us over with wages when the company mysteriously disappeared, leaving a very confused and angry landlord wanting to discuss rent arrears. What makes this story even more disgusting is that he had a deal with the Jobcentre where they would send people to work for him as part of the Workfare program. They were fully aware of his antics and continued to send people to him after he set up other companies. If there's anyone on here that I played a part in you being scammed, I am deeply sorry and can assure you that in my brief time with Crown Lawyers, I had no idea that this is what he was doing. He had this deal going on with the DWP, so you'd think that they would vet people to make sure they were legit.

From close research I know they are trading as a company called Brave London Ltd Trading as Sequence Legal. The director of this company is Chukwudi Ekoku. After close surveillance he has been sited multiple times with Christian Carney and he's believed to be the latest puppet in the Christian Carneys debt recovery scam. I am aware CLS/Sequence traded from A office on wood street for a few month before moving offices leaving rent arrears. Carneys latests con company sequence claims to be trading from Chester, however this is just a decoy and they're actually trading from Liverpool with the same staff as cls. Hopefully something happens soon to get this scum bag behind bars.

Reynolds and Carney are cousins as mothers are sisters. Reynolds has been put in this position by Christian Carney who has managed to con people for over 20 yrs and avoid prosecution by putting company in other people's name.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/beware-debt-collectors-who-dont-10661916 Interesting article above. We are also victims of these crooks having paid them over £2000 in Jan 17 to recover a £7000 debt and just getting no where with them. These people must be stopped. I feel so let down and we let these crooks into our home, chatting to our children, its just not acceptable. I have reported them to Trading Standards and am currently writing a final letter for a refund, before possibly taking legal action.

I have been investigating this company myself for a number of years following a previous company trading under the same style. I do know they used to be a company called Lombard Legal who were based in liverpool and the man behind this was christian carney who employed his staff as directors. I am 95% certain carney is behind this company also. I believe ben reynolds is a relative to chris and ben is nothing but a front. Paul Gav is also a well known in the industry for all the wrong reasons and i understand he currently works for CLS Central Ltd. He was also a previous director for Lombard legal.

Lsf have taken around £5k from my family, we borrowed it to fight a legal battle that we are 95% sure to win. Today I try contacting them only to find no phone lines are open, no contact. Then I came across this website. To say the wind has been taken from my sails is a massive understatement. I don't know how my family will survive this. If anyone can assist in helping me to recover these funds or possibly a company that can assist legally I'd be forever grateful. How can these people do this, I am very happy to assist anyone else in getting these people and these companies rid of.

I have paid £3,600 to this firm. Do not get involved with them under any circumstances. They took the money from me begining Oct 16, 6 months later nothing has happened to collect my bad debt. They appointed a solicitor, Khers at Sowerby Bridge who say they haven't been paid by CLS. All you get is lie after lie, you can never get hold of anyone. Anyone need help call me on 07966525033. I got a lot of help from another victim on this forum who left his number. Ben Reynolds is the crook behind this scam, or Benjamin Reynolds of Benjamin Edward Reynolds. He may live in Mansfield, anyone know of his home address please phone me. The 2 men who called at my house were, allegedly, called Tony Lister & Gary Jones.

Finally received payment, however we had to instruct another solicitor to start winding up and they paid up an hour before we were going to issue court papers. My guess is they think most people will not be bothered or do not want to lose more money. These people disgust me, I bet they cant walk down the street without looking over their shoulder, how do they sleep !!!!!
