For someone like me who has always…

For someone like me who has always struggled to keep up with changing financial systems, this offer felt like a rare opportunity I could not pass up. It was presented as a special institutional investment, and I believed it was something legitimate. I did not question the constant support or the strong returns because I assumed that was normal. A woman I met online shared her identification and guided me through a platform that appeared highly professional and trustworthy. They even processed a small $490 withdrawal early on, which convinced me everything was real. That gave me the confidence to transfer $250,000 of my retirement funds. When I later tried to withdraw money for property taxes, my account was suddenly flagged for fees that were never clearly explained. That is when I realized something was wrong. The entire system was designed to mislead me. Now I am struggling to cover basic living expenses, facing decisions I never imagined I would have to make. Reporting it has not led to any real resolution, and I feel completely let down. In a short period of time, everything I had worked for was gone. I was in complete despair until I found LargoLaneLP. They were the only ones who actually helped me secure my funds back. The stress has been overwhelming, but at least now there is a path forward.

Cold called me today

Cold called me today, after getting my data from somewhere. Not me personally giving them my data! Extremely rude staff, when asked to be removed off their call list, they acted up. I was being polite on the phone and asking for my data to be removed, really poor and snotty behaviour. I have a feeling they will not remove my data, as it’s not the first time I’ve asked them to remove it. Feel like there’s a breach of GDPR with this company.

Bunch of cold calling scammers

My advice, hang up on them and block their number immediately.

Bunch of scammers, started out with an obvious lie "We've had reports of issues in your area", when asked which area that was he got flustered and refused to give me any details, tried to get information about the company but he refused, he also refused to give me any information about what the call was about, the company registered address etc.

Contradicted himself several times during the call, "for people in England and Wales", told him I live in Scotland and he continued to try and get more details from me to "pass to a specialist".

Help for Hero’s no time to see me…

Help for Hero’s, hopefully there to help me an ex veteran. Waited for 40mins to see the Help for Hero’s representative. The representative saw me waiting while another stall holder hogged her time for 40 mins. When the representative was finally free no time to see me, the representative had to go…

I have only driven 70miles to attend this event to try and get some help

It seems Help for Hero’s is no help

Really disappointing

Why have representatives at events if they have no time to see veterans?

I guess I will have to struggle on

I used help for homes last year after I found them on tik tok last year.
I have a sanctuary housing property who left me with an on going leak for 5 years.
It was a really quick process as I was able to provide a lot of evidence quickly.
They didn’t waste anytime.

When the solicitors got involved I won over £1000. Sanctuary also failed to complete the work within the scheduled time and further to win another £63 in compensation. Was well worth it!

Great experience

I was wary about contacting them at first but so glad I did! They are now helping me with the damp problems I have in my house via a solicitor! I have tried for years to get this sorted out. Very friendly staff too!

SCAM- Do not contact these guys

Do not contact these guys. They false advertise their trustpilot score all over social media but as you can see they have a rating of 3.7 stars but they say they have a rating of 5😂 the good reviews they get on here are from fake accounts. I asked them about the false advertising and they blocked me. DON’T GET SCAMMED

They helped when others couldnt

Every other company said they couldn't help me, However the agent who helped me was very friendly, patient and made sure they got every detail of my problems.
They literally wrapped up everything In a day.
And when I gave my neighbours contact so they could help them, I received a £100 shopping voucher.
Thank you for the help guys.
