Hi, I have just placed an order with the above company. Has anyone used them before? Haven't paid yet but luckily through your brilliant thread I just saved myself nearly £250 by cancelling my order with 1st class projects. If anyone has any help or hints with genuine websites please please let me know!! Thanks so much!

I can't find anything obviously wrong with their site, though some of their claims are a little too hard to believe (4000 writers?). I wouldn't make your first order with the company 250 GBP, though. Start smaller and see what you get.
Calling their live support line is also something I would definitely do before placing an order--if their customer service reps don't speak English well or have a heavy accent, it's a bad sign. Of course, if they speak perfect English it doesn't necessarily mean their writers can.

Dissertation Creation is one of AA's websites (you know, UKessays, etc). Any can call them overpriced, blast their plagiarism detection tool, criticise their contractual terms, and so on, but the one thing they cannot be called is fraudulent.

yeah, it seems pretty legit. Placed an order but haven't paid yet. The only thing is, I rang the number provided and my mobile keeps saying that its a wrong number. God, am so wary of all these sites now since I stumbled across this thread! Thankyou!!

Exactly—that's what I'm getting at here. There is no reasonable expectation to believe that anyone would come here asking about an order that he/she just placed with "dissertationcreation.com," a site that doesn't even exist. Do you mean to tell me, Tracie, that not one time during the entire browsing and subsequent purchasing experience, across what was certainly many different pages, that you never noticed the domain name in the browser bar? I find that very hard to believe.

whoops sorry, I am totally new to all of this. I googled dissertation help and it was under the website of ukdissertation.com. Is this a scam as well?? They are really expensive! I ordered a litereature review, was supposed to be 3000 words but couldnt afford that. I opted for 2000 words and it was £340. Bit steep eh??

oh my god, I am a 37 year old student, have had very little experience with computers as you can probably tell! All I wanted to know was if anyone knows if this is a legit site. I cant afford to be ripped off (like many other students)...thats all.

Now you've lost me. You claim to have done a search for "dissertation help" in Google. Here's the problem: dissertationcreation.com is not accessible through that search phrase, so how did you come to specifically name "dissertationcreation.com," and purportedly place an order there, if you never found it?

You have to very careful about what and how you post here, especially as a new member. This board gets swamped with drive-by spammers and shillers. The fact that dissertationcreation.com is not an accessible domain immediately threw up a red flag.
Now, to your questions. Did you pay too much? Almost certainly. Will they steal your money? No.

"Dissertation Creation has been around since 1993"
SOURCE:
ukdissertations.com home page (evidence archived)
--------------------------------------
Now, that is a lie.
Just as I was beginning to turn the corner on my generally negative stance against Academic Answers Limited, Barclay and Jennifer pull this garbage.
Barclay Littlewood didn't even register his company until 2003, as he has stated in interviews. In 1993, none of his sites existed, and he was only 15 years old!

Narcissus the Wonder Boy is 30. Unless he launched Dissertation Creation at the age of 15, ten years before establishing AA, that is a bold-faced lie.

They charge this much, and then elsewhere on their website they say that companies in this business can't stay afloat paying their writers more than 30%. That's a load of crap, unless taxes in the UK are a lot higher than I think (I know they're higher than in the US, but really?).

Carly from AA here, just wanted to clear a few things up:
WritersBeware: "Dissertation Creation has been around since 1993"
I think the wrong date was simply an oversight - not an attempt to scam! As you've pointed out above, it's quite a daft thing to claim we set the site up when Barclay was 15. Hahaha
It was likely a mistake that has never been picked up before. So thank you for pointing it out to us! You'll see on the about page we have got the correct date...! Plus we've changed the wrong date in the copy now.
Re: Dissertation Creation and UKDissertations. Both domains point to the same place, and they're the same site. The site is being overhauled in the coming weeks and the branding is changing from 'Dissertation Creation' to just UKDissertations to make it less confusing for customers! This has just assured me that it's definitely the right thing to do!! I think Dissertation Creation was a marketing idea somebody had to make the site a bit more memorable, and to create a bit of a brand but I don't think it's worked! (Hence the change!) Calling the site one thing, and the 'brand' another is just confusing!
Re: Phone. I'm concerned that the phone number is not working! Our phone number on the header of the image is correct - we've just tested it from one of our mobiles in the office and it connects fine. If you're still having problems connecting, just let me know and I'll get one of the customer service team to give you a call.

My fault completely re.phone number. Tried it again today and got through. Also spoke to an administrator today just to verify everything. I will however do a little more research before making any decisions, I do think that the price is still very steep...especially for students!! My literature review is supposed to 3000 words but I can't afford that. It might be good anyway to do the rest myself, I am not a lazy student, I just find it extremely difficult trying to juggle all of my other commitments alongside studying full time. If the price could be lowered in any way possible I would e extremely grateful though!!!!

Carly, how many times are you going to use that utterly implausible excuse? It's no "oversight" to type "1993" instead of "2003."
How many other "oversights" would I find on your sites if I actually investigated them?
It's not my job to fix "oversights" on your sites. It's your job.

Hello. I thanked you for pointing it out, I did not imply it was your job. We're actually working through the copy on all the sites at the moment adjusting errors we find. Some are due to carelessness, others are 'oversights'. We have a strict proofreading policy now, which everybody adheres too. We send all new website copy for proofreading before publishing it. We're working through all of the older pages at the moment to fix errors. UKDissertations is one of the sites we're changing in the coming weeks, as I've mentioned above.
Thanks, Carly

It's an accident to type the wrong date, it's an oversight to not spot it before publishing the page live.

An "accident" would be to type "1994" by accidentally hitting the wrong key. Typing "2003" is not an accident.

You're right. After all, sometimes I forget what day it is. Who's to say that they didn't forget what decade it is, and then accidentally publish the innocent oversight for public consumption?
