This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I contacted Tim Burchell from UK Private Investigators ( UKPI ) who insisted he could help me and said he would do everything for £1500 and that I must transfer this money to his bank account immediately which of course I did as I trusted him, little did I know that once I transferred the money to Tim Burchell that I would never hear from him again and he would ignore my calls, texts and emails.

Tim Burchell / Timothy Burchell uses the company name: Vestigare Ltd even though his website is www.ukprivateinvestigators.com

I have been to the address of UKPI, Suite 2733 Kemp House, 152-160 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX that he advertises on his website however the lady there said she has never heard of either the company or Tim Burchell before however she did mention that several people have come to see him and they are all told the same thing and they all tell her the same thing which is that Timothy Burchell has ripped them off just like he did to me.

I urge anyone who is thinking about hiring this con artist to rethink before you are scammed.

We would just like to thank Robert Harris (Robert Singer) of thelocaldetectves.com for these posts. He has been writing fake negative reviews about us since we reported his "company to The ASA for misleading and false advertising. We also had to report his to Sussex Police as he was making threats to us also. ALL evidence of this can be viewed upon request. We have been trading successfully for 23 genuine years and if ANY of this rubbish were true, we would not still be trading!

SCAMMED ME. Off £120 to only be given a false address. If they are not in the ABI (Association British investigators) don't bother.

Barely 6hours of sending a trace instruction to this company I have received 3 emails threatening me to pay £120 or face court actions! Ridiculous! How this guy is continuously allowed to rip off vulnerable people is beyond me. I'm not paying him a dimn. I'll wait for his bailiffs
