On further investigation of Charles Goldthorpe I contacted Moon Beever to verify his claims as being employed in the role of 'litigator' (see his LinkedIn profile).
On speaking to human resources they informed that they could not disclose information on any previous employees'. So instead I asked 'does you company employ any people under the role of 'litigator', to which she replied was no, they have never employed people under that role. I also spoke to a partner at the firm and he again informed he could not discuss any ex-employee but informed that he would consider himself to be a litigator, this adds further credibility to my above claim that using this title falsely indicates that you are a Solicitor.
I also attempted to verify his claims of working as an "investigator" for the Law Society. However, they could not find him on their computer. Please note this does not mean he did not work for them as I could not establish how far back the call operators system kept records. I have written to the law society and they are investigating this (all be it very slowly).
Also, Charles Goldthorpe makes the following claim “and I am a qualified Fellow of the Institute of Paralegals and an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.” I have spoken to the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives and they have informed me that he isn't a member. I have raised this as an issue with Philip Ivinson and he has said he was investigating it but never got back to me.
On the subject of never getting to be Philip Ivinson has now had a number of requests from me regarding obtaining copies of files held in relations to my case. However, many months have now passed and no documents have been sent or any explanation as to why they have not been sent. I believe that as this request was made under the data protection act his failure to comply (without a legitimate explanation) is of legal concern.
In fact there as so many inconsistencies regarding Charles Goldthorpe that it raises concerns that if these are also present on any legal insurance paperwork then Chiltern Solicitors policy would be invalid and that dealings would be without cover. To check this I've requested of Philip Ivinson a copy of his insurance policy but he has refused to share this information with me.
