I paid Target Markets £2700 on the understanding that they could find me a mortgage and a property. (My credit rating was good with Experian and Equifax, 765.) In the unlikely event that they would be unable to do so, They would immediately refund my entire deposit. Then, I heard absolutely nothing, for weeks. I tried to contact Target Markets, no reply. When I tried to contact their mortgage brokers who claim to be a part of Tim Smith Associates Financial Advisors imagine my surprise when I was put straight through to Tim Smith himself who said that though one of these women was known to him, neither of them were, or ever had been, a part of his company!!! I sent a letter Special D to Target Markets CEO Robert Stones, with my concerns And he did contact me apologising , saying that this situation should never have occurred, as my credit rating was good,that they would look for a property and mortgage for me. And that in the New Year there would be some non status and 100pc finance Properties in Spain available, and that they would contact me. No one ever contacted me again, though I called and emailed constantly, And , according to their web site, these properties did appear!


My work situation then changed, and I really really needed the deposit returned to me. I was becoming very desperate , and had no where to live. I considerd committing suicide because I did not know what to do. The only thing that stopped me was that I was afraid in case it went wrong, And things became even worse. I told them this, still no reply. Eventually I went to The Citizens Advice beureux and they investigated the background of the company, via Companies House, and Target Markets Ltd appear to regularly Change company name , company address and company directors! The CAB advisor said that he thought I have been misled, And that the situation with the mortgage advisors was surely fraudulent. He has advised me to send a letter before action , giving them 14 days to respond, Sent by Special D which I have , and that if I hear nothing, which I havnt. To apply to the County Court for a CCJ, which I will do, with damages. The CAB have passed the details onto Trading Standards , who are taking a keen interest, And they have asked me to keep them informed of the the outcome, As they will to take further action.
