Someone I Used To Work For: Keith Chorlton. Dial/Yes Loans

Update: hlatest post on Keith is HERE!
Amazing thing the internet, you go and get say a ban from being a company director for 10 years and then think that you can just go get on with your life...

Yet a simple google search and look through the archives of some national papers and we find this on a Mr Keith Chorlton who runs Dial in Cwmbran. Now I would like to claim the credit for digging the dirt on the convicted fraudster Keith but its all down to a friend of mine who e-mailed across the details.

Friday March 10, 2000

A record number of rogue directors were banned from Britain's boardrooms in
1999, DTI figures showed yesterday. The total reached 1,489, from 1,350 in
1998, with a confidential public hotline given credit by DTI minister Kim
Howells for much of the increase.

Yesterday the DTI was granted a 10-year ban on Keith Chorlton, of Chepstow,
Monmouthshire, from serving as a director for serious misconduct as an
executive of the now-insolvent dating agency Close Encounters of the Best
Kind, including the transfer to himself from the agency of £464,000.

Dr Howells said this behaviour "is a perfect example of how a director can
get himself a date with the court".

Whoops! Sorry about raking up some old dirt there Keith. Oh take a look at that date, seems that Mr Chorlton has forgotten that he is not supposed to be running a company oh and I have heard the good news that Dial the dubious company run by Mr Chorlton has now lost the Talk Talk contract, seems even Talk Talk have certain standards.

Fidothedog said...

Keep onto them re the holiday pay, they take ages to hand it over and you will get it as a chq.

If you dont ask they wont pay you, another illegal thing from Chorlton and co.

Anonymous said...

i still work at yes loans at the moment.ive worked there for nearly a year and your right.there all wankers.i fucking hate my job.thats why im on the net now.looking for another one.take care x

Fidothedog said...

Good luck with the job hunting, anything gotta be better than working for Keith "disqualified director" Chorlton and Alan "Spiv" Spedding.

Anonymous said...

i currentley work for yes loans and i think it is a reputible company who have no illegal practices. Kieth Chorlton is not the owner of the company but an advisor TOO the company.If you look at statistics of other loan firms they have just as bad press as yes loans.....

Anonymous said...

To Yes Moans employee.
If Keith Wilmot Chorlton IS NOT the owner of the company then how is that during the first week of company indoctrination for new staff there is the question, "Who owns Yes Loans". Ans: "Keith Chorlton". You even get marked for the correct answer!
Also Yes Loans is NOT a loan company - they broker loans - there is a major difference there.

Fidothedog said...

Well said, anyway my advise to one and all at Yes Loans is to start looking for work.

Seems that old wiggy Chorlton is being investigated for non return on his tax, oh and being a disqualified director etc etc...

Anonymous said...

Well, I don't know who you are fella but you ain't me lol. Apparently though, Yes Loans don't have any idea who you are as they have told someone that they think you are me. It would save me much hassle if you revealed your identity. if everything you have posted is true then there is no reason why you would want your identity kept secret

Fidothedog said...

That is a point, but be assured that I do not work at Yes Loans.

Keith can rest his hair piece on that one, I was there back in the days of Talk Talk and the like.

Besides all the bits on Mr Keith are already in the public domain, i.e the Mirror, The Guardian and so on and so forth.

So even if this site closed down tomorrow it would make not a jot of difference re Mr Chorlton.

Lastly I understand from a little birdy that Keith is being investigated re the Mirror's article on him, would like to claim the credit for that but alas they have a far big 'tinternet punch than my humble site.

So you can let Keith and Mr Speeding Rat, sorry Alan Spedding know it aint you.

Well keep your ears and eyes open this comming week. Reports of camera crews at tintern house this week. I don't care if they think its me or not. Like you said, there aint much they can do now.

It is time to raise awarness of the whole bigger picture. Really put them under the microscope so to speak. It would be good to let people know all about CTM Group, how they handle our data and want to be th UK's 4th credit agency.

Anonymous said...

I can't let them know anything....
only that they better get used to spending less time lapping up luxury and more time fighting their arguments. They are apparently the biggest company of this kind in britain. What they actually mean is they are the most successful company of this kind in britain...clever marketing and a battery hen mentality Wilmot developed when they shut the pits down. There will soon be no place for business men like him in the modern day but what does he care, he's already made a mint. Still, nice to see him break a sweat now and then innit

Fidothedog said...

Nice to hear about tv cameras, nothing like seeing the media getting their hands dirty exposing people like Chorlton.

He may have made a mint but quite how long he will hang onto it is another matter, I understand that the penalties for breaking a ban on being a director are rather severe.

I am sure that even with the many problems with the home office, they will manage to find a cell for old Keith and Alan.

Will be looking into the CTM group and another post in the offing today or tomorrow....

Yes loans is going to be shown on BBC x-ray PROGRAMME Wednesday 21 Feb 07

Christmas day at yes loans 2006 resulted in disqualified Director Keith Chorlton Head butting an employee Ian Byrd after a few too many drinks and after hearing he did not contribute to his birthday present which ironically was a 6ft human like punch dummy to relive 'stress', the matter is currently pending further investigation by cwmbrawn police.

Another pending police investigation happened the same day at the Black Birds pub round the corner from the offices, where Keith Chorlotns son James Chorloton, was also involved in assaulting another employee Barry Chick.

FSA are coming to investigate March 6TH 07, director of bluseky finance (in the same building part of the yesloans group) Philipa Owen is desperatly trying to prepare for this.

Here are the mobile numbers of some interesting characters:

Mel Roberts 07973536080 - Joint Partner of yes loans group, but after a falling out with disqualified director Keith Chorlton and a 1 million pund payoff, its now said to be arch enemies.

Alan Spedding - 07970037019 - Pompus director, resigned last Saturday after having enough of Chorltons bullying and illegal works, he came back to work on Monday after a meeting in the park hotel cwmbrawn after Keith paid him to come back and keep his silence.

Gaby cocchiria - 07973536020 - Keiths loyal slave, but will spill the beans as she is beginning to tire of by used as a pawn in front of the cameras and fsa.

I am an employee at the above company, you can reach me on the above email, however wish to remain anonymous, the company is run 100% by disqualified direct Keith cholton, he hides behind people he signs up as directors, and states to the outside he is a consultant, but we all know he is not and have numerous evidence, he bullies staff, if they threaten to leave or tell about the goings on he offers more money in their wages etc etc, new arrivals include axa insurance government by fsa & bluesky finance, both off which compliance issues are enormous, and regulations are not adhered to. please find the following links you mind find useful:

Here is the link to the article about Chorlton and his nefarious activities. http://www.nplonline.co.uk/story.asp?id=1457

A little bird told me that Keith Chorlton has a plan to leave this Sally Hill in charge of Yes Loans and Blue Sky and head off to the sun. This means that he can not be heald responsible for being a disqualified director who is running a company, as someone else will be in charge. He also wants to sell the company to cash his money in, but I can not think of anyone who would want to buy a company from such a crook. Mind you, as soon as Sally Hill finds out that he has stolen all her shares and what she holds are now worthless, she will become his enemy as well. On the other hand, if Joy Chorlton finds out what he has been up to with Sally Hill, maybe we will not have to wait quite so long to see her chucked out. Wonder if Keith will give her the shares back when she leaves. Dont hold your breath Sally!!!!!!!!!!!

That all makes a lot of sense. You know he has those little windows in his office door so you can hardly see into it. Well i was walking past there recently to go to the canteen, even though he does not like anyone to walk past his office, but F&^*k him. Anyway, looked in to see what he was up to and, well i leave it to your imagination what he and our new boss were up to. Talk about a close working relationship.

I put a bit in about my little bird telling me about what Keith Chorlton is planning and have had this confirmed. He is definitely going to move to Spain to escape from all the mess. Now, here is an interesting thing. Do you know who negotiated the deal with the liquidators of the Dial call center when it went into administration? No surprises that it was Keith Chorlton. So here is a question. How is it that a disqualified director was able to get a call center? And how is it that he was able to negotiate the deal, when it is illegal for him to control a company. He got the call center because he said that he was securing the jobs of the people that were there, but really it was so that he had somewhere to put Crossit, Yes Loans and Blue Sky, which is the company he stole by getting 51% of the shares and then kicking out the owners and their wives.

Now here is another question that my little bird has told me. If he is a disqualified director and not allowed to control a company, why is it that he was able to get the shares in Blue Sky and then take it under his control into Cwmbran?

A disqualified director with a 10 year ban, running 3 companies on a day to day basis?

i work for yes loans at the moment, plannin on leavin very soon! it has got to be the worst company i have ever worked for, so dodgy im suprised we havnt been such down. keith chorlton is a big ginger prik!! i ope he does get locked up

Anonymous said...

know of this guy and basically a gangster but a well connected one, ever heard of the incident in a local village pub a good fe years back where a friend of Chorlton's attacked a local for bobbing his head in front of a TV screen causing serious GBH, his friend robin horsford, ex SAS guy, when it came to court "case dismissed" despite a number of witnesses!!!
Crossit marketing, KC consultancy, Yes, blues sky etc.. it was rumoured alot of the data held in these businesses is/was being sold and used illegally contrary to the data protection act.
Avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Is this still going on? Is he still at the helm? Is Sally Hill running the show - its like reading the script of a bad soap opera - fascinating stuff. Has anyone got info about what happened to him after the assault. Was he really in the SAS?

Come on guys - I need closure. I was conned out of £49 by these fraudsters (am taking it on the chin though as I should have known better - doh!) Are there any staff ex or present that can spill the beans

Anonymous said...

Keith Chorltons latest idea is No Worries Loans. Sally hill running this as the front man for him. this is the new company that he has to do Yes Loans. watch this space as he tries to get away from all the bad publicity around yes loans.

I was there when KWC took over dial. I used to work for dial -nearly 5 years. A great company to work for. We rented out half the building to YL. For months he bragged about how he was going to get dial. Here's how he did it. The deal with dial was that we paid YL's staff's salary. This meant dial was elligible for a WDA grant. In Feb 06, dial's cash flow was dodgy due to carphone warehouse changing their payment methods to their outsourcing call centres. Dial staff hadn't been paid for January, but were loyal to the management and knuckled down to work while we were waiting for the cash to arrive. This is when KWC made his move. Just before the WDA grant was to arrive, he forced his staff to resign from dial and take up new contracts with YL. This meant that dial didn't qulify for a grant. Who told the Welsh Office? I;m sure you can guess. For a complaint to be looked at by the WDA, to give it credibilty, there had to be support from a director from dial. KWC did his usual stuff, offered wads of cash to a dial turncoat along with the promise of a directorship with YL. One phone call to the WDA and the grant was stopped, cash flow dried up and dial had to cease trading. The verbal abuse from KWC to the dial director was obscene. It was disgusting. KWC convinced most of the dial staff that it was the dial MD's fault, and turned a few against him, even though he was the instigator of the whole mess. A week later, KWC 'owned' dial. Lots of dial staff just walked out - no job to go to. Some of these people couldn't afford to leave, but could not work for him. I remember the earlier days when dial were showing new potential clients around only to hear KWC's offspring effing and blinding throughout the place. We would have to send scouts around to make sure we led the clients away from them. Dial was a great company to work for with many high profile clients - Virgin, SKYTV, Premier League, British Gas. What a waste. KWC destroyed all those years that were spent building the business. Shame on you KWC.
Former Dial employee

Fidothedog said...

Cheers former Dial employee.

I will be doing a Yes Loans update in the next few days, something to raise KWC's blood pressure.

Any gossip that you or any other Dial employees may have either post them or email me at fidothedogster@gmail.com

Oh I called KWC a month or so back and was advised that he was just an adviser.

When they asked who was calling I said Fidothedog and strangely enough Mr Chorlton and his wig did not want to talk :-(

How is Chorlton getting away with this? The disqualified directors act prescribes that anyone banned under it may not 'directly or INDIRECTLY take part in the formation, promotion or management of a ltd company'. Now surely its not that hard to prove he is indirectly involved with the management of yes loans. Does anyone have any idea if there has been any previous attempts to prosecute him under the Act? His ban expires in 2010 so I think its about time there was a serious effort to prevent this man living the rest of his days in the life of luxury he's 'earned' through his life of crime. Any information with regards to enforcement of the DDA or what proof would be needed to make a case against him hold would be much appreciated.

Fidothedog said...

Anon Chorlton keeps himself running the place by the dodgy act of refering to himself as an adviser.

He also advises Crossit Marketing and other firms.

I passed on all I had to the DTI and others, as well as broadcasting it here.

Sadly he is still in business living of the misery of Yes Loans clients...

my girlfriend who works there said lots of his managers and staff left in the blue sky mortgage part this year cos they were all changing wage slips, and making them up of the net.
They were saying people earned more than they did, to get more money and so it would get accepted when they couldn't really pay for the loan.
She said he let some back who he liked to go to other jobs, but the top managers who knew it was going on stayed and one bought a brand new porsche or something.
she hates it ,she comes homes crying all the time, but needs the money,its awful for the staff and people are only nice to him cos tay is scarad or for wages,even his friends.

i was employed by yes loans and have just left i can comfirm that keith chorlton does own yes loans and he is running the place only yesterday he sacked a boy on the call centre floor calling him a usless prick and dragging him out of the building all beacuse he had 1 too many days off!!

i will never work for him again as his company is one big con!

word of advice NEVER SIGN UP WITH YES LOANS!!!!

Ive recently quit my job at yes loans, luckly ive got out of that shithole and got myself a new job as they are going under, and good enough for them. The managers and team leaders talk to people like shit on the bottom of their shoe, and the worst for doing this is Lee Simmons he's got a very bad attitude problem, I dont know anyone down there who's got a good thing to say about him. Kieth Chorlton is very crafty as he has made his son James Chorlton the managing director who is also a big headed twat. With regards to customer service its the biggest joke ever, staff are taught to rush through the application so quick that customers dont know whether they are coming or going, and ripped off by paying a processing fee of £59.50 which is never actually processed to any lenders apart from Welcome finance that are as much good as a chocolate tea pot. And if your told you will recieve your money back minus a £5 aministration charge its also rubbish. They swindle people left right and centre even their own staff not just the customers! Keith Chorlton is driving around in 2 bentleys, an austin martin and a range rover. He also owns his own lake house and a boat, what a f**king joke and he's only got all of this because your putting 60 quid in his pocket. Put your story forward to the papers, throw some more bad publicity at him and stop him from ripping everyone off.
