Shocking experience

I had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with these cowboys for service charge arrears.

I can honestly say that they are nothing more than glorified debt collectors who use aggression and delay tactics to chase payments ASAP and threaten CCJs. They couldn't even explain my debt and the additional charges to me despite several responses, this is all part of their tactics to get the money faster and bill for more costs/charges.

They need to be reported to the SRA, that's if they are even a registered law firm.

Sorry Excuse for Solicitors

Shocking for a solicitor to behave in this way. These solicitors are rude, aggressive and threatening, offering no advice, help and or customer/client care. Appear to be much like Gladstone Solicitors - scammers who work to grab money off people.

Dreadful experience so far

Dreadful experience so far. Six years dealing with my Dads probate. No answers to emails, fobs off with Covid excuses blaming tax office for delays, shouldn’t Evan be paying tax on such small amount. Just confirmed my suspicions reading other reviews. Will complain. Such a bitter blow to my beautiful Fathers memory he worked very hard and with honesty for what he had. Now seems to be in the hands of the greedy.

Report JB LEITCH to the SRA

Report JB LEITCH to the SRA. Solicitors Regulation Authority as they are committing numerous violations as well as professional negligence. They are working for a client HAUS block management who collect service charges, yet they did not make any attempt nor did their client HAUS make any attempt to find out that the Managing Agent of the flat had changed nor any email or letter to the landlords home address, yet they manage to send a demand for non payment to the landlord funnily enough. They seem more like a debt collection agency.

Extortion Racket

Extortion Racket - Unjustifiable compounding of charges and daylight robbery and extortion. Don’t quite understand with such blatantly poor reviews - how is this firm still operating?? Old bullying tactics - can TrustPilot not help?

A Nightmare Experience: Unresponsive and Rude Service from JB Leight Solicitors

I had an incredibly frustrating experience with JB Leight Solicitors, and I feel compelled to share my concerns. The customer service I received was absolutely appalling—rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional. I was charged an exorbitant fee for late payment regarding my ground rates, which resulted in my lease management account being temporarily frozen. The only way to resolve the issue was for JB Leight to confirm the payment with the lease company before my access could be restored.

When I called JB Leight this morning to request urgent communication with the lease company they work with, specifically regarding the payment confirmation, I was met with hostility from their customer service team. The staff were dismissive, rude, and unapologetic. They informed me that the payment confirmation would be communicated to their client within five working days and refused to expedite the matter, despite the fact that my account was frozen. When I explained that this was an urgent issue, they showed no willingness to assist, stating that I was not their direct client.

This company is extremely inefficient, and their lack of professionalism and customer care is unacceptable. I strongly advise against hiring their services. Stay away from JB Leight Solicitors if you value respectful and efficient service.

Scum bags

Scum bags, no different from the scammers in india. Probably worst as JBL scam their own people. They have scammed old vulnerable people with outrageous charges. DO SOMETHING UK GOVERNMENT!!!

They sent multiple charges of interest when payment was already made. Tried to surcharge my grandma £2000 in solicitor fees and just ignored my email when they found out I couldn't be scammed. Jade Murran, Scum of earth and takes money from vulnerable people.

I am a solicitor and have had a number of dealings with this firm. Their behaviour is appalling. I have seen numerous occasions where they have made unlawful and unjustified demands under threat of legal proceedings. If you are being chased by this lot, I may be able to assist. Contact me on gmail, my address is afriendlylawyer2.

Disgraceful company they were sent my details as RMG (another conning company) said I hadn’t paid, I sent J B Leitch proof that I hadn’t paid in April 2024, I called them they said someone will contact me, still I never heard anything so I emailed them they said it was being reviewed I called again and said they had the proof it had been paid to which they answered ‘that’s why it’s being reviewed’ I called in December 2024 and said I’d pop in and see them as I work near there offices, and was told ‘they don’t have the option to see anyone it’s a closed office’ I still haven’t heard anything

The worst solicitors ever

The worst solicitors ever. They do not listen, they manipulate and threaten. They keep on adding unjustified charges alleging breach of lease terms and when you contest and/or enquire, they simply put the phone down on you. They never listen and never respond to emails.

Gouging fees from JB Leitch

JB Leitch need to be reported to the law society. They are blatantly trying to threaten and gouge me £800 for them to obtain and email address for their EandJ Estates client, also a gouger.
Never do business with this firm.

Their response to this post was that i was not a commercial customer.
My response is, so what. I was impacted by your unprofessional and conman type behaviour. I’m presently discussing with the Law Society as this firm and staff need severe reprimanding and a review of their license.

They are charging people with extreme attorney's fees. For a bill of 400 pounds they have charged me 2600 pounds of attorney's fee. Their attitude was rude and threatening.

I think someone or some authority has to check this law firm because they are acting very unreasonable. I felt very bad. I felt like they were trying to get unfair money using law. That attitude made me feel very insecure.

I am amazed to hear any bad reviews for this company
I have had a couple of dealings with them for various reasons regarding my properties
I can honestly say I have had nothing but a five star service
Contact has been speedy and helpful I always get to talk to the person I am dealing with . The advice has been professional and all matters dealt with quickly and effectively .
I can’t say anymore than that . I will be using them for any other matters that are within their remit and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
I would mention names but not sure it’s appropriate as I’m sure all of the solicitors and staff are equally as exemplary
I’m baffled as to others experience
Thankyou to all concerned especially Mr R Denman who has gone out of his way to help and resolve in , what was to us , a complicated situation .
