European Mediation Services Limited was incorporated on 28 March 2007 as Inventory Solutions (UK) Limited. It changed its name to the current style on 04 September 2009.

The sole director of the Company has been Toby George Gebhard.

The Company ran claims brought under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 by people who had allegedly been sold land fraudulently and miss-sold time shares in Spain. The company also sought to recover refunds for ex-francisees of a company called Nationwide Legal Services Limited, which was wound up in the public interest on 02 May 2007. Clients were charged a fixed fee of £850 and/or a commission payment.

On 13 October 2009 the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, in accordance with powers conferred on him by Section 447(3) of the Companies Act 1985, authorised officers of the Department to investigate the affairs of the Company. From information obtained it appeared to the Secretary of State that it would be expedient in the public interest to wind up the Company on the following grounds: -

1. Failure to co-operate with enquiries.

2. Failure to maintain adequate financial and accounting records.

3. Trading contrary to the public interest; retention of clients’ monies.

4. Failure to file accounts at Companies House.

5. Insolvency.

On 15 March 2011 the Secretary of State issued a petition to wind up the Company and the Court made the winding up order on 15 June 2011. The Official Receiver is liquidator. If you would like any further information regarding this matter please e-mail piu.north@insolvency.gsi.gov.uk.
