ASA Informally Resolved Complaint against Pennington McClane

The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has informally resolved a complaint submitted by KwikChex regarding Pennington McClane http://www.penningtonmcclaneassociates.co.uk/

The investigation by KwikChex was carried out as part of activities by the Timeshare Task Force https://timesharetaskforce.org/ which KwikChex manages.

This challenged the following statements on the Pennington McClane website:

“We are an experienced, internationally focused collection of highly experienced Legal and tax advisors. Our advisors deal mainly in taxation & consumer law problems, with a specific focus on aspects of misrepresentation on the part of businesses operating in the holiday and automotive sectors. We have an unrivalled reputation in advising and representing clients to achieve the successful rescission of timeshare products and also in assisting people who have been alleged to have committed serious offences in relation to taxation. We do not deal directly with members of the public and only accept work referred to us by our close network of consultants and through other professional service and legal firms. Our reputation for passing your case to the most qualified advocates – many times at the outset – and for providing overwhelming evidence and support for our clients means that, should you have a genuine case, victory will likely be decisive, swift and to your total satisfaction”.
