Hi, I would like to ask if anyone knows about Prospect Solutions? Do you have any negative feedbacks regarding the company. I've applied in it, but so far has not made papers for the firm, because I am making sure its not some other "raket" which does not pay writers on time..thanks

I got approved few weeks back but never took any order from them for low price. On average $4 per page or less. Also if you check their terms and conditions then you will be amazed. So many conditions where they can fine you.
Thanks
Dave

I was invited to write for superwriters.us but at $4 a page there is absolutely no way they are getting my sevices, especially when they expect 375 words per page for that!

Prospect Solutions pay minimum £20 for 500 words, which at Times Roman 12 font is around a page of A4 (or a bit more) £20 works out to approx $35 a page, so thats no where near the $4 being spouted by Raju.

Um, I simply do not believe that. I'd love to see your proof.
Companies don't pay writers anywhere near an average of $35 per page. In fact, some of the highest-priced, old, American companies charge CUSTOMERS about that much for "urgent" service.

I don't know anything about them but maybe they just require that you actually write in English and not in whatever language all that's supposed to be.

It means there's a huge difference between speaking English as a second language and holding yourself out as someone qualified to charge money for writing English professionally. Nobody who wrote what I quoted has any business offering to write for American students.

Prospect Solution is a genuine writing company! They go to great lengths to mislead their empoyees into believing that they are not writing other people's essays for them; such clients who pass our work off as their own. Here they clearly state:
Q: Are the services that you offer legal?
A: They certainly are. We are providing our customers with copyrighted research material to aid their study or research. However if a customer then decides to use that work in a malicious way we will do all we can to protect our copyright and take legal action against the individual.
Q: Who uses my work?
A: Our customer base is very wide; it includes researchers, businesses and companies, lecturers, students and also official bodies.
Q: How do I know that customers won't hand in or pass off the work that I produce as their own?
A: We have a very strict policy in our company that the work sold to our customers should be for research and study aid purposes only. Our staff is fully trained and qualified to question whether the customer is intending to use our work in an unethical way, and if so will refuse to accept any orders from these customers.
This is complete rubbish. Honestly, who really pays for "example" essays? Obviously lazy, rich students who have no work ethic. It must be possible for students to pay for all of their degree work and complete a degree without ever having to open a book!
They rarely pay on time.
They do not value their researchers.
Correspondence between them and the researcher is also very poor. When I had a query they would take an enormous amount of time getting back to me, if at all.
On the whole, all of these research writing companies are dubious and misleading .
Stay away from Prospect Solution and the rest!

Apparently, a lot of papers from Prospect are being resold online in mightystudents.
I think prospect is another scam site.

Hi, I'm new here so go easy on me!
I've only ever worked for Prospect Solution, but I have worked for them for 5 years so I can list their good and bad points:
Good: They pay reasonably well compared to other freelance work I have checked out.
They pay promptly every time.
Thier instructions are usually really clear and easy to follow.
They may list loads of fines, but if you follow the brief and submit the work on time you will be fine; I have never been fined once.
Bad: They promise a much higher income than is possible. Eg. If you have a brief due in 5 days, you cannot complete any other work during this time and usually during the following 7 day amendment period, limiting the amount you can earn.
There is also a limited amount of work available. I am able to write in two popular subject areas (eng lit. and education) and during 5 years have only had 17 jobs.
Sometimes they answer queries promptly, sometimes they can take days or never answer them at all.
They are a genuine company; just take what they offer with a pinch of salt. There really isn't much chance of a substantial income, but I have earned nice money for holidays etc from it.
I work in the UK, I don't know if this makes things any different?
Hope this helps

I routinely have between 6 and 9 papers pending on my company accounts simultaneously and 2 or 3 freelance jobs pending, all of them due within a few days. I don't miss any deadlines and often write 3 or 4 high-quality papers in a 12 or 16-hour workday. Successful companies allow you to build up your paper limit with a record of good performance and just dial back a writer's maximum if quality falls off or you start missing deadlines.

I worked for them for before (for about 2 years). They will find ways to deduct your fees, so if you have a choice, don't work for them. They will take off £20 if you produce incorrect invoice, pay late and sometimes you have to chase them. They can be rude as well when you ask them abut the pay.

I think this is true. I am beginning to experience this with them now after a year's work with them...

I entered into an agreement with prospectsolution.com involving bidding for work, doing the work and sending it to them. Under the agreement, prospectsolution.com must, within 7 days of submission of a job, request amendments. If 7 days lapsed, prospectsolution.com supposed to move the job to JOBS COMPLETED on their website and I can then invoice them. I successfully bid, completed and on 24/02/09 sent prospectsolution.com brief E11679. They requested amendments. These were done and sent on 26/02/09. They failed to request further amendments. When 7 days lapsed, I asked them to move the job to JOBS COMPLETED. They conceded saying 'It is our understanding that the brief is no longer within the 7-day amendment period as it was delivered last 26th/February. The brief will be moved to your completed section shortly'. 06/03/09, they asked me to do further amendments. I told them they were in breach. They harassed me; threatened me with 'negative repercussions'; asked another author to amend my work. I sued them at the Northampton County Court (Claim Number: 9QZ20859). The court awarded me £5100. The problem however is that prospectionsolution.com has not revealed their offline location on their website. They only seem to operation online. For me this has meant that I have not been able to execute the judgment of the court on them. The Sheriffs tried the former address on their website 7-9 Clifford Street , York, YO1 9RA, and reported it is not a business address. They also tried the current address on their website 58 Low Friar Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 5UE, and it is only a mailing address. They do not carry on business there either. So if you do business with this company and they default and you even sue them, you will still have problem executing a warrant of judgment as they have not reveal a business address. MAY BE THEY DON'T HAVE ONE AT ALL!!! WRITERS BEWARE!!! Follow twits about this matter on twitter - my twitter username is AtlanticPlanB.

"Prospect Solution": not the name of the organization. There is not (and never has been) a company of that name registered in the UK.
Rather, it is its on-line trading style. According to the copyright notice, at the foot of each page of its website, the company name is Academic Solution LLC. This is the only indication on the website of ownership of the organization (ironically, a copyright notice is not necessary in UK law). The ownership of the domain name, www.prospectsolution.com, is hidden behind a nominee, Contact Privacy Inc.
"LLC" stands for "Limited Liability Company". It is not a permitted or required suffix for a company name in the UK ("Limited", "Ltd", "Plc" are the proper suffixes).
No company, the name of "Academic Solution" is currently registered in the UK. A company, by the name of "Academic Solution Ltd" was formerly registered but was dissolved on 20 January 2009 (more on this below).
Therefore, Academic Solution LLC, if it exists at all, must be registered elsewhere than in the UK; it is an off-shore company. There is no indication as to where it is registered.
In 2007, Prospect Solution's website bore a copyright notice in the name of Academic Solution Ltd (the company dissolved in 2009). Therefore, that company was undoubtedly the same organization. Companies House records show that, from 10 August 2007, its registered office was at 212 Bishopthorpe Road, York YO23 1LF. Prior to that, it had been at 29 Queen Victoria Street, York YO23 1HW.
Companies House records show that the only two directors of the company were Matthew Wilson (date of birth: 15 May 1980) and Xiaorui Wan (date of birth: 13 April 1981), both British citizens. They were also the only two shareholders. Both had a home address at 29 Queen Victoria Street. Therefore, the companies registered office, prior to 10 August 2007, was at a private house. 212 Bishopthorpe Road is also a private house.
Today, the "Contact Us" page, of Prospect Solution's website, gives a correspondence address of 58 Lоw Fгiаг Stгееt, Nеwсаstlе-upоn-Тynе NЕ1 5UЕ. According to Royal Mail records, there is no such postcode. Furthermore, there is no Lоw Fгiаг Stгееt in Newcastle or anywhere else. The address is false.
So, make of all this what you will!

While "none" can take the singular or plural form, "none of you" takes the singular. Since you were referring to each person on this site, not the collective group, you should have written: "None of you writes well enough."
My apologies for misspelling your name.

caitlin: misspelling your name.
You misspell names (because slips are natural) and expect people to produce a perfect draft in the first go! If you stay on this forum for some more time (that is highly unlikely), I see you making alliances with EW and Rusty. Lolz.

They don't disagree with me. They acknowledge that "none" takes the singular when it refers to "not one." That was the sense in which you used the word.

Your reading comprehension really needs work. They don't say that at all. Here's what they actually say:
"none. Despite a widespread assumption that it stands for not one, the word has been construed as a plural (not any) in most contexts for centuries. H. W. Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926) endorsed the plural use. Make none plural except when emphasizing the idea of not one or no one — and then consider using those phrases instead."
So, when using "none" to mean "not one," they suggest actually using "not one," and I was not emphasizing the idea of "not one," but rather "not any." Your research skills are desperately lacking, and your basic intelligence is suspect as well.
Care to go for another round?

You used the word in the sense of "not one" or "no one." You did not use the word to mean "not any." "Not any of you write well enough?" Hardly. You meant, "Not one of you writes well enough," and that was reinforced by your parting address to "Alexandra."
I will not be responding further, because I think you're immature. Attacking people's intelligence because they disagree with you? You're wasting my time.

Precisely. Of course that sounds awkward, so used "none" instead.

You have a really interesting way of reading.

I don't attack people's intelligence at all. I do point out when people aren't qualified to write academic papers in English. Your writing is fine, but your reading and research skills are abysmal.
