Instances of Land and Property Fraud are Increasing.
Friday 22nd July.
While surfing the Internet to-day, I read that Stephen Parry, commercial director at Landlord Assist, stated that landlords should have a correspondence address held by the Land Registry to ensure they are notified if anyone tries to interfere with their title to the property.
“I say any law abiding citizen would agree.”
He further says: “In addition, Property owners should include in their title a restriction requiring the Land Registry “NOT” to register any change to the title, including change of ownership or mortgage, without their consent.”
“Sound Common Sense.”
I personally find his words of wisdom very refreshing in deed. So much so, that having at this very moment in time, after nearly three (3) years of swimming up a river of treacle , in my attempt to have a Government Authority Land Registry, commence an Internal Investigation into my Serious Allegations of Land and Property Fraud, by Officers of Land Registry, Durham. With very little success, they did apologise and award me £300, for some mistakes, which I returned, (more on this later )
I have decided to seek the assistance and support of my Democratically Elected Member of Parliament, for Hartlepool, in my attempt to exposed to Public View those officers who have committed dishonest and unlawful acts in Public Office. (I leave readers to form their own opinions of Motive )
By posting on this Blog a weekly update of my Three (3) years struggle with Land Registry and Hartlepool Borough Council , who’s Internet Complaints Procedure is Unworkable and a Complete and Utter waste of Time.
Friday 22nd July 2001.
Letter to Mr Iain Wright, Member of Parliament, Hartlepool.
Dear Mr. I. Wright, M.P. for Hartlepool.
It is with some hesitation that I write directly to you, as my Member of Parliament for Hartlepool, but as you were Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Communities and Local Government (28 Jun 2007 to 10 Jun 2009) in the last Government , I honestly feel you will be keen to be made aware of my Allegations of wrongdoing both by Land Registry and some officers of Hartlepool Borough Council.
Land Registry have shown a total Indifference to Commence any Investigation into my Allegations of Property Fraud, by officers
of Land Registry, Durham.
in a B.B.C. T.V. News Programme “ Land Register too Open to Fraud” Broadcast to the General public on Monday, 30th March 2009
Julie Jenkins, who claimed to be Head of Fraud , stated:-
"We need to ensure there's a balance between Protecting the Individual
and Protecting the Property and that's what we're “HERE” to do ,
“ Protect People's Assets - One of the Most Important Assets they've got."
Land Registry told the B.B.C. they had an “Aggressive Anti-Fraud Policy”
and reported that Land Registry has paid “ Out £36 million pounds” in compensation for “ Fraud “ since 2005, and suggested that
“ANY” Allegations of Land or Property Fraud should be Reported to “Julie Jenkins” Head of Fraud at Land Registry ?.
Which I have repeatedly done, all to no avail, Land Registry no longer wish to correspond with me ---I wonder why ?
Sondh Gurmale Freedom of Information Officer for Land Registry,
on June 30th 2010, in reply to my request regarding the above , informed me that Land Registry do “NOT” have a Dedicated Department to Investigate
“ ALL “ alleged Land Property Frauds, therefore how can “” Julie Jenkins “
be HEAD of a Fraud department that does “NOT” exist.
The B.B.C. have confirmed that a search by B.B.C. Engineers following my additional F.O.I. request , had Confirmed my inquiry and that the interview with Julie Jenkins had been Broadcasted to the General Public on 30th March 2009 and was in fact recorded. ?
The Responsibility for Broadcasting such Misleading and Completely Untrue Statements by Land Registry and Julie Jenkins to the General Public must rest with Land Registry and not the B.B.C.
There is Definitely something Suspiciously Unsavoury if not Downright
Criminal and Dishonest about Land Registry’s Continued “SILENCE”
and Obvious Reluctance to Investigate “MY” very Serious Allegations of Land and Property Fraud Committed by Employees of Land Registry.
It would not be right or proper for you as the Democratically Elected Member of Parliament for Hartlepool , not to be made fully aware of MY Serious Allegations, and I feel sure that you will agree with me that “ALL” Despicable Dishonest Activities are clearly not in the “Public Interest” and should be fully Investigated by the Proper Authorities. and any Dishonest and Criminal activities should be Exposed in the Public Domain and those responsible held accountable for their actions.
(a)
May I ask you Mr. Wright as my Member of Parliament for Hartlepool, to Inquire of Land Registry “WHY” my Serious Allegations .of wrong doing, incompetence, negligent misrepresentation, and misfeasance in public office, by Andrew Schofield, Office Manager, Richard Fernley , Land Register, Alan Smith , and Tony Lowes all employed at Land Registry, Durham. Have not been Investigated, or Reported for a Police Investigation. or Alternatively brought to the Attention of the Parliamentary Ombudsman.
In addition can you Re-Assure and Confirm to the General Public and in Particular all Hartlepool Citizens who “Purchased Council Houses” ,(myself included)) that all Ownership Details , of Property, Conveyed, Registered and Recorded with Land Registry, is as Land Registry Publicly Claim, in their Land Registration Act 2002, Public Guide 8, August 2009, that a “Registered Land Title” is “GUARANTEED”,
(c )
Or is this another Misleading and Completely Untrue Legal Statement as was the Julie Jenkins “Aggressive Anti-Fraud Policy” Broadcast on B.B.C. T.V. Broadcasted to the General Public on 30th March 2009.
(d )
Does it allow Land Registry Authorities to Override the Legal Conveyance of Property ( from seller to buyer ) as they do now ? if they don’t like the details recorded. They appear to be above the law.
“Somebody needs to go into the Land Registry , and find out what actually is going on there. It is clear that Land Registry at present is unfit for purpose.”
A full history of my Complaints and FOI requests and all Correspondence, to Land Registry Durham and Hartlepool Borough Council relating to these Serious Fraudulent matters, which are combined, are available on the Internet at these addresses.
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/alan flounders
http://alanflounders.blogspot.com/ To ensure that a Full Record of this Correspondence is available in future I Intend to include it on my Blog.
More to follow, I intend to post my History of my Objection to a B141 Application next.

They Can't all have won the Lottery
Swindler Douglas Brown siphoned off £2m
Hartlepool is once again is in the news, unfortunately not for the right reasons,
The town remains most famous for its quaint but probably inaccurate legend that during the Napoleonic war its inhabitants, the local fishermen and women of the Headland now often referred to as “Crofters”
summarily hung , after a long trial ? a monkey washed up on the Fish Sands, from a shipwreck, in the belief that it was a French spy , as it could not speak nor understand the local “Crofters” gibberish.
Hartlepudlians, or Codheads, like myself , are still known around the world, as “monkey-hangers”). ?
I have no doubt that we here in Hartlepool have attracted in the past and will continue to do so, far more than our fair share of the villains and scum bags of society born and bred in the North-East,
I recently read an article in the Sunday Sun that revealed the secret life of
Cunning Douglas Brown which claimed that he was one of the biggest fraudsters the North has ever seen. Who very nearly brought an international company to its knees when he siphoned off more than £2.4m over 11 years to fund his lavish lifestyle.
The Sunday Sun said Brown appeared to be a normal family man – entrusted to run Palmer UK, the British-operation of American firm Palmer International, Inc. based in “Hartlepool”
The business boss claimed he was making pre-payments to suppliers of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid, used by Palmer UK, in the manufacture of brake-linings. Instead he was pocketing the money. He plundered funds for more than a decade through an elaborate scheme
Brown tricked auditors by laying a false paper trail, while keeping real records of how he had switched the cash in locked cabinets in his office
The 63-year-old, former co-chief executive of the company, was jailed for seven years in 2009 after admitting 31 counts of obtaining money transfers by deception between November 1995 and February 2007.
That statement that he was one of the biggest fraudsters could be challenged, simply because I believe, that we in the North-East , have had, and appear to maintain a history of producing some of the most Outstanding Criminal minds in the world of theft and dishonesty, particularly in politics ,
Who could ever forget T. Dan Smith, the mouth of the Tyne,
ably assisted by Andy Cunningham, J. B. Poulson, and many others,
Mr Monkey’s recent allegations of Council corruption on South Tyneside are unbelievable , history again repeating itself. ?
Much more hanky panky is still to be exposed there , and here in Hartlepool, I think .
We are not allowed to forget , John and Anne Darwin, the couple from Seaton Carew, who staged a sham fatal canoeing accident in a £250,000 insurance scam, it could even be more.
Mr Darwin, 57, was sentenced to six years and three months after admitting seven charges of obtaining money by deception and a passport offence. His wife, who claimed that she was forced to take part in the scheme, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years after being convicted of 15 counts of fraud.
Another “Hartlepool” born Labour politician, M.P. Frank Cook, who
represented Stockton North which includes Billingham and Wolviston, until last year, failed in his bid to sue The Sunday Telegraph, which had reported he claimed back £5 expenses for a church donation ?
Which was put into a collection by an aide who represented him at a “Battle of Britain” memorial service. Unbelievable conduct, especially from an M.P. or is it ?
Mr. Frank Cook also lost his seat in last years General Election after he was de-selected by the Labour Party and standing as an Independent candidate.
It is worthwhile remembering that the information which finally exposed these greedy and dishonest M.P. freeloaders had originally been sought under a Freedom of Information Act request.
Not all locally elected councillors and public officials in "Hartlepool" are “Scoundrels” looking after their own interests, but there are some in Hartlepool who seem to have prospered financially after gaining office,
They can’t all have won the lottery , or can they ?
In view of the following message from the Prime Ministers office, No.10, to-day when a spokesman said :-
"What matters is that all wrongdoing is exposed and those responsible for these appalling acts are brought to justice, this was regarding the News of the World, but I think it also applies to dishonest Councils , and Hartlepool is no exception.
I personally find it very difficult to decide who is the worst, the Elected Councillors who remain Suspiciously Silent, ? although they must be aware of these Underhanded Practices done in their name?
or
The Guilty paid Council Officers who are allowed to make these Decisions, Unopposed, knowing, that to Complain to Hartlepool Borough Council ,is a Complete Waste of time.
Because any citizen with a grievance will be completely ignored, you don’t matter, the so called political elite will decide what's good for you'. Whether you like it or not, and there is very little you can do about it at the moment, and they know that,
Look what is happening to us regarding the imminent closing of Hartlepool Hospital, and many other issues, just proves what I have previously said, at the moment they think they are above the law and some think they can walk on water, but I still think that they will get their feet wet very shortly !
