00:00 My name is John Ledgerd and I'm standing outside the family home which was, in my opinion,
00:05 stolen from us by Phillips Trust which was recommended to us, to my mother, by the Leeds
00:10 Building Society in 2014 and that resulted in us losing the entire profit from the sale of the
00:16 house. This is very emotional for me because it's the first time I've been back here for a few years
00:21 and my mum's had lots of friends around here and I'm standing here not even knowing if they're
00:24 alive or dead. It's, you know, just been to the grave as well for the first time for a couple of
00:30 years and it's overgrown and obviously we're a very close family and I, you know, from being born
00:35 in 1964 I lived here, same as my brother who was born in 1968. No, no, it's like my mum and dad
00:41 worked hard all their life like to get to, you know, to have this house and that and then they
00:46 were going to like leave it to us like, you know, and we just feel like we've just been robbed,
00:50 you know, like the house sold practically straight away after my mum passed away and we're still,
00:55 you know, we're still waiting for the money, we haven't, nothing's to be seen and as like John
01:00 says it's the first time that I've been up here since my mum passed away and, you know, I find it
01:05 very emotional and, you know, and just I was born in '68 and this, I grew up around this area and
01:11 everything like, you know, and I just think, you know, I just want justice like, you know,
01:17 at the end of the day it's, you know, I just feel like we've just been robbed of my mum and dad's
01:22 house, you know, like that they worked really hard for. When my mum used to go into Leeds
01:27 Building Society, used to go in every two weeks to draw a pension out because she didn't like
01:31 using cards and she also at that time had five accounts there, one for her mum, one for my son
01:37 and one for David, two children and she used and trusted that building society and she was on
01:42 first name terms with them all and everything and when I initially went with the right because
01:47 they took the building society into the back room upstairs, you just trusted them because
01:50 they're an institution. My name's Roger Hall and with the Nottingham Building Society advised me to
02:00 place assets in a family trust. The family trust then changed ownership to another family trust
02:11 and as part of that process some of our assets have gone astray and the administrator who was
02:20 calling to administer Phillips Trust Corporation's affairs, they're in the process of doing a
02:31 reconciliation exercise to try and attempt to find out where some of this cash is going. I think
02:39 they've betrayed us. Good, honest, loyal elderly people, we've been betrayed by Nottingham. They've
02:46 not given us proper advice, they've not done proper scrutiny of the trust companies they were dealing
02:54 with and I think we feel extremely let down and out of pocket. Q. And what would you like to see
03:00 happen? Full compensation. It cannot be anything else in my view.
