Flint Bishop Avis 

I am gettin sick to death with these people now. Apparently after being told almost 3 weeks ago the 3rd party has 21 days to pay now apparently I now payment has been authorised for some time in March and this also takes ANOTHER 21 days to process they need to stop letting companies control them and tell the other companies what THEY are going to do instead of letting people "wipe there feet" on them

The fact that almost half of the reviews for this company are 1 star should tell you everything you need to know. Their debt collection processes are awful and it's disappointing to see the 1 star reviews continue to come in yet the response continues to be "please direct your feedback to....." where it obviously continues to be ignored. Hopefully someone soon will start providing a proper response to these reviews and actually taking on board the feedback.

Sending me unjust aggressive threatening emails.

I'm in a payment plan with flint bishop. All is paid on time if not early. Received an email from one of their employees, threatening me with legal action if I don't pay my installment that was already paid. So I put a formal complaint in along with proof they have actually been paid.

I have terrible depression and anxiety. Now what do I do? Now that I have to try and overcome the mental gymnastics I'm doing. Thanks, there goes at least a week of emotional stability.

They obviously don't do their work properly, don't check their systems or facts and didn't even send me proof. I replied with all proofs of payments and depending on how my formal complaint goes I may indeed speak to my lawyer.

Terrible terrible company. Should be shut down.

Absolute nightmare of a company. They threaten you and are unhelpful in trying to resolve a dispute they must work in hand with energy suppliers to try and beat out money of small businesses and not care what damage they do or who’s livelihoods they wreck. Surely that wasn’t part of the oath they took to try and ruin as many businesses as possible

Jessy was absolutely helpful and dealt with my employment matter despite the difficult circumstances in a very professional manner. I would be happy to recommend her and your firm to any of my colleagues/friends etc. Thank you.

They are acting on behalf of a debt collection company which is a scam and they are also threatening with a County Court Claim but let's see how far they are willing to go because they are not going to get anything.

Rude woman phoned our offices looking for another company, when i told her she had the wrong number she asked why she would have our number. I said i don't know as we haven't sent them anything and it sounded like she thought it was my fault that she called the wrong number.

Scumbags won't listen to me despite numerous emails I offered their client what I can afford ,then they doubled it and expected payment right away despite me saying I was between jobs .

Please please please read all of the previous reviews if you are considering using Flint Bishop for anything. TOTALY INCOMPETENT is the only fitting description of these clowns , SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

This company chasing £75 excess on behalf of auto glass, I have a copy of the policy that clearly shows the excess to be £0 . Left an answerphone message asking them to contact me, no response . Received a 2nd letter today threatening county court . You would think the before they take on a case they would be sure of the facts, clearly not as all they are interested in is the fee. When you ring them up it say for reference numbers beginning with n press 1 for references beginning with m press 2 , my reference begins with a. Incompetent is not strong enough. ( Sh1te )

Sold my mum and dads house. Fb made sure everything went smoothly and without a hitch. Always got good communication from them. They also did mum and dads probate again to a high standard.

Will use again if the need arises.

Absolutely disgusting. These solicitors must be the most incompetent lawyers out there.
Time and time again over the last 2 years I have supplied them with information requested just to be asked again and again for it from different members of staff. Rude, aggressive and totally incompetent.
They do not abide by Commissioner's Office rules & regulations as I have requested 3 times Subject Access Report.

Disappointing Service

Another company out to make a fast buck without actually doing anything. Bought some items online from a well known stationary company who were good back in the day. with a name similar to an ancient invading force from Denmark, Paid this company by Paypal, ( If stating the name Paypal causes Flint Bishop any problems I will re type stating 'Paid via funding source connected to large online auction site) Anyway this company only supplied some of the goods and over charged carriage then emailed reminders for payment, which I replied to stating I had paid by Paypal and received no communication back from them. I have now left many poor reviews online for this company. Sixteen months after this purchase YES 16 received an email and letter chasing payment of this invoice. Supplied Flint Bishop with Payment receipt stating 'Payment Method Paypal. They replied that this was not proof. Searched my emails for the Paypal authorisation and could not find it by searching the suppliers name( I use Paypal most days so have a large amount of emails to search) and after logging into Paypal found all my transactions over 12 months were archived. Flint Bishop would not cover my costs to contact Paypal. Actually turns out that the supplier uses a completely different company name with Paypal. You would of expected once I supplied Flint Bishop with this document stating the payment method, they would have contacted the supplier to see why it was issued in the first place? or informed me of this companies other name?, If they had I could have found the Paypal authorisation in my emails and see that it was not 'captured' by the supplier, but NO they done nothing except tried to add their fee to the so called outstanding invoice I then wrote to the suppliers UK office as their call centre is operated by poorly trained personel and no help as I have learnt from previous experience dealing with them They replied that they 'moved my order to invoice' They had not told me previous to this and by doing so avoided paying Paypal their fees. ( Paypal have been informed as I can find nothing in Paypal's terms and conditions which allows this) They actually moved it to invoice within 5 days of purchase. Paypal allow 28 days to capture payments so they had no excuse.

Excellent service from Flint Bishop and Maria Hanif in particular

Absolutely shocking !! Collecting debts for an energy company, spoken to them many times and finally agreed to pay on a payment plan . Then I receive letters and phones calls every couple of days about taking matters further if payment is not Received. I have now paid in full as it’s really stressing me out and I don’t want to see another letter on the door step or a 01332 number calling my mobile again .

We received excellent service throughout from William Harper who obtained Grant of Probate for my brother and I.
Having never had to deal with anything like this before, Will gave advice in a clear and easily understood manner.
The whole process was handled sensitively and was completed very quickly.

Flint Bishop Solicitors debt collection sent us threatening demand letters acting on behalf of a well known Energy supplier ( who have recently been in the news for breaking down doors and installing pre payment meters ) for the amount of £1004.52
letters dated 22/5/23 then again 25/5/23
We referred the Energy Supplier to the ombudsman who gladly took on the case in January 2023, the Energy Supplier Illegally over charged us by 600% for Electricity unit charge up to £1.23 per unit from 16p and a standing charge increase of 1200% from 42p daily up to £10.60 daily charge , we had the meter removed in March and charges should of stopped immediately , were still receiving bills for the period after the removal.
15/5/23 the ombudsman agreed with our complaint and we won the case , and the Energy Supplier have now reduced the bill to £271.02 that we have paid, they also have offered me £200 in compensation and a letter of apology, i offered them £300 to settle the bill in January before all this started, what a waste of time these suppliers are , acting like con men,
when i called Flint Bishop Solicitors today they were still demanding the £1004 plus interest charges ,
i pointed out that the bill had now been credited and they then agreed but want to charge a late payment fee of £40 , i sent them the ombudsman decision and proof of the bill credit , i pointed out nothing is due in the time period while the ombudsman reviewing the case and interest or late payment charges cant be applied,
Flint Bishop along with other debt collection agencies buy debt from these companies and hope good tax paying individuals and businesses get scared and pay up for something thats not owed , these bills are auto generated and dont take in to account they are under dispute by the ombudsman or internal customer services , Dont pay them fight your corner its unlawful and harassment ,
im happy to see them in court, they are amateurish at best, chancers at their worst, i will report them to the SRA for over stepping the mark ,

Rebecca was professional, courteous and efficient at all times whilst dealing with the sale of my property on behalf of Flint Bishop.

Flint Bishop contacted us out of the blue, demanding money with legal threats, for electricity used by an occupant of a premises almost 4 years after we sold it and moved out. They did not provide any explanation of why they thought that we were responsible for somebody else’s debt or provide any evidence of how they arrived at the sum of £312.60. They did, however, state that we would have to prove that we were not responsible for the bill. After a number of email exchanges they finally appear to have backed off. Unsurprisingly they haven’t had the courtesy to apologise for wasting our time or for the undue stress they caused or even to confirm that the matter has been resolved. If this is an indication of their level of competence, professionalism and due diligence, for the relatively simple task of debt collection, their ability to handle more complex cases is questionable. 29% of negative reviews, un-replied to on Trustpilot, bear this out.

5th June 2023: All negative reviews appear to get the same standard reply. Flint Bishop are clearly not interested in others’ opinions. Still no apology though.

I can recommend Jane Shepherd (Will writer) she and her staff were friendly and it was very easy for me to complete my business
