In a nutshell the service we received was appalling and we are currently in the process of making a complaint about them to the MARA (registering body). I certainly would not recommend them.

Do a search - there are loads of postings about them - some possitive, but not many. My personal experience with them was awfull! If your case is straightforward - save some pennies and time!

we used them and had no problems with them. richard gregan posted not that long ago and apparently some of the earlier posts slating them we his ex employees who had started up on their own and were trying to bad mouth them, if you do a search, you should be able to find it, but like i said, we were lucky that we had no problems with them but some other people have found them to be terrible.

Default Re: Anyone used or using o.e visa s please post.

Well i have been told there may be court action against me if i post things about them on this site.

You cant sue people for money they dont have can you?

Hope not as o.e. took all my money anyway! Still paying it off now, so court action would be paid off very very slowly as its means tested anyway.

I think thats why people have sent me so many pm's as this was the case with all of them too.

Just seeing if everyone else had the same experience?

Makes seven so far today. building a good case against (under english law anyway, not scottish law as o.e. are ruled by. I wonder what they can get away with under scottish law then?)

Well I'm not an ex employee with a gripe- just a client who didn't get anywhere near the service we were promised....

Default Re: Anyone used or using o.e visa s please post.

We used O.E. and got our visas through them last year. We had Tony Coates who is based in Ireland doing the work He was very helpful, and did keep us abreast of what was happening.

We did phone or e-mail a couple of other companies first, and they were very lax in getting back to us - almost as if they were doing us a favour, where as O.E. did make more effort.
