False Reporting and No Explanation

On July 9, 2024, I was confronted with an erroneous report that falsely claimed I previously filed bankruptcy in 2020. Let me be clear: I have never filed bankruptcy as a debtor. The source of the report was Fraser and Fraser. I immediately called Fraser and Fraser to get to the bottom of this inaccurate report. The case was assigned to Staci Pipkin at Fraser and Fraser. However, when my call was transferred to Staci, she had no answers. Staci was not helpful, could not share the bankruptcy case number (because I never filed bankruptcy). Staci relayed an inability to divulge any information because she was working remotely and was without access to the file. She assured me she would call me the next day, July 10, 2024; but she failed to do so. When I called Staci on July 10, 2024, it was incredibly difficult to get clarity on what information she found that would lead her to (FALSELY) report that I filed bankruptcy. Further, Staci claimed she had previously emailed the solicitor, Erica John-Marie at Russell-Cooke to let them know the information about me filing bankruptcy was inaccurate. However, upon speaking with Erica, she stated that the matter remained unresolved. Interestingly, Fraser and Fraser’s website claims they pride themselves on commitment and clarity. My experience has proven this is far from the truth of how they actually run their practice. No commitnent, no follow up, no telephone call the next day and I have no idea if she is telling the truth about the email being sent to correct their mistake. And even the next day, she would not disclose how she came upon this false information and reported it in writing to someone else. Not even an apology. This exemplifies nothing short of a lack of candor, professionalism and communication.

Reply from Fraser and Fraser

Dear Andrea,

Thank you for reaching out and bringing this matter to our attention. We understand your frustration regarding the inaccurate report and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We can confirm that Staci Pipkin did call on July 10th, 2024, to discuss the error. During the call, she explained that the initial discrepancy arose due to platform features. This was something Staci explained to you and has once again explained this to you.

We understand that Staci had in fact communicated the error to Erica from Russell-Cooke, correspondence has been provided to you, with date and time stamps. We believe Staci has apologised for this matter and rectified this issue as soon as she was made aware of the error. This was communicated between herself and Russell-Cooke; but understands your frustration in the delay of this matter.

We appreciate your understanding that certain situations can be beyond our immediate control. We believe this has been discussed with yourself and all should be resolved now.

Thank you again for your review.

Sincerely,
The Fraser and Fraser Team

Professional Service

Upon receiving an initial letter from Fraser & Fraser I immediately thought that it could be a scam. After a little investigation I responded. Since then all communication has been professional and I imagine that a great deal of work has been undertaken to find all of Ethel’s relatives. It is interesting to find out that there is a part of the extended family that I knew nothing about. I am looking forward to receiving the family tree, thank you.

Professional service

When I first heard from Fraser & Frazer I thought scam! So a little research and a few phone calls to other family members known to me, urged me to respond, because I didn't know this side of the family existed. I have to say I'm very impressed by the amount of time and research that has been undertaken to
find the beneficiaries of Ethel's estate. Fraser & Fraser have at all times been professional and understanding, keeping Me updated every step of the way so I thank you very much

Great company

This company goes above and beyond tracing your family tree. I was flabbergasted to receive a letter from them telling me I may be entitled to some money from a distant relative who had died. I thought it was a scam, especially when I was invited to the funeral! I wish I had gone now,if only to meet distant relatives. Then, they informed me how I was related to this person, and now I have been offered a family tree in detail. They kept us informed, sending regular letters and emails. Would definitely recommend this company.
