Shire Leasing has instructed one of Britain’s largest law firms
to defend itself against multi party claims being brought by
customers at the centre of the services for leases scandal.

Stewart Plant, a partner at DLA Piper, is leading a team of lawyers
now advising Shire, Britain’s largest leasing brokerage, on
allegations being levelled against it by a large number of
customers of the collapsed supplier Global Telecoms &
Technology.

The claimants say they are being overcharged on telecoms equipment
leases which, it is alleged, they were led to believe by Global
include services such as phone line and broadband rentals.

ING Lease UK has reassigned to Shire some of these leases after
customers – many of whom have joined a nationwide action group
called Give Me Back My Money Back Ltd – stopped paying their lease
rentals.

A full report on developments in the ads and services for
leases debacle will appear in the next issue of Leasing Life
(June issue).
