DO NOT USE OXBRIDGE ESSAYS! I REPEAT DO NOT USE!!
They will not deliver and they will take your money and rip you off and then avoid your calls with lies and excuses. They have not delivered on over hundreds of pounds of work and are being investigated by trading standards at the moment.
PHILIP MALAMATINAS and his brother JAMES MALAMATINAS are only 23 years old and studied geography at Birmingham and Kings and employ current student, thats people without degrees, just finished a-levels!
their website is full of false guarantees to try and prey on struggling students to part with their loans and dosh etc and then they have some student (not expert) as they claim write a load of rubbish, normally out of date and just plain made up, wish was most likely written the night before your order was due.
please I would urge you all not to use them. I dont want other students to suffer the loss like I have. They are being investigated by trading standards and oxford and cambridge university is investigating students who write for them by checking their university email accounts that they use to register as writers and will take severe disciplinary actin against any student caught freelancing for the company.
please don't waste your money on them.

miffy: this company has scammed one too many students. This is a bit funny. Initially, the company was praised for its papers and they had this 'holier than thou attitude'...Only Oxford and Cambridge!!! All glitter gone looks like!! How the mighty fall!

We should warn as many people as possible. I do about Project1stclass, who cheated many of us. I sincerely hope they go downhill and perish. I know, not a very nice thought! I am ashamed of myself. Can't help it.

FrostatMidnight: Hope you are not suffering from age discrimination First of all the above makes no sense. You are trying to insinuate I discriminate against the elderly, however your quote states that you hope I am not being discriminated against. p.s. that's lesson 1 in the Enlish language. FrostatMidnight: Why don't you accept that you don't understand his writings? Oh and BTW i studied his, Gladstone's, Tennyson's, Wordsworth's and Kensington's writings when i was 16. JUst thought i'd mention it. I can even send you an essay i did back then on one of his pieces.

Oxbridge essays (in Charlotte street, London) are big cheats. First of all the founders and the staff people have nothing to do with Oxford or Cambridge university and they could not provide any confirmation that the writer is actually from Oxford or Cambridge university. I had one information science and one business management piece written by these guys. the quality was worse than what I could have achieved myself. I ordered First class and received a paper which would have not even passed. There are some other Oxbridge services which I have heard are better and can provide confirmation that the writer is from Oxford or Cambridge. But I'll be very cautious now having lost over 1k with Oxbridge essays.

Thought I would keep this subject up to date since the previous posting was last year. and YES Oxbridge Essays are STILL on the make. I wish I had looked at this site before I ordered, BIG MISTAKE. Yip same as above 5 year old's work for a £345 1st Class essay. I waited the 7 days - no essay, called them and they said they had lost touch with the writer! Eh? So they promised it would be sent within 3 days, again I phoned and was told it would take another week. Then....I received the worst essay ever written. Was told I I would receive a refund for the delay but nothing else....guess what....still waiting!
Also th essay I received was 35% plagiarised I asked them did they not check this and was told "No, they do not use a pliagrism scanner as this would hold on to your details and that is against Data protection"..Eh?? It goes to their Quality Assurance Department which im sure is the same person that answers the phone, pretends their name is Jim, James, Jimmy - all out of the office by the way. In fact wouldnt surprise me if Jimbo wrote the essays too!!!
Is there no way that a website can be set up to flag these CHEATS! I wish I was more computer literate then I would set up an ANTI-oxbridgeessays site.
Anyway Im just glad I didnt fork out more money to go down the drain with them.
How do they get away with it?????????
Rant over.

Despite the name, I am not affiliated in any way with Oxbridge Essays. They are not honest and their writers are not qualified to write at high school, let alone university, level. Stay away from them ...

Exposing poor services, not fake fire drills. ^_^ As for your concern rosebuddy, I guess the trick is never to shell out that much cash if you're using the service for the first time (I think someone else mentioned this exact same advice somewhere here). In mentioned by another poster (FreelanceWriter if I'm not mistaken), find not just a site but a writer in a site (or working independently) that you are satisfied with and stick with that writer.

WritersBeware: This site is also about exposing deception, misrepresentation, consumer fraud, illegal pay garnishment against freelance writers, etc. Which are all trivial and worthless if they do not relate directly to consumers getting the products that they want.

Perhaps if you people spent less time whinging and more time doing YOUR OWN DAMN WORK, you might be less out of pocket. Do you really think a court of law is going to sympathise with a bunch of cheaters? Also, have any of you ever bothered to read the terms and conditions section of the Oxbridge Essays website? Looks pretty water-tight to me.... If a company such as this one has located a means of creaming money off people who are too lazy/stupid/rich to complete their own work, more power to them.

DO NOT USE OXBRIDGE EDITING EVEN FOR PROOFREADING! I booked an editor, paid in advance 400 pounds for a 15,000 word dissertation to edit (light editing) with a 5/6 days deadline. Result: they were never available on the phone and did not deliver. When I wrote that I would have suited them, they delivered half of the work, revised by different people (one of them certainly is not a graduate of Oxford). It actually is a fraud as: 1) they don't answer in writing that they received all the files 2) they dont deliver on time, and then send you something late to be only partially responsible. 3) what they deliver is partial and made by different hands, therefore it blows off your consistency. Moreover, the quality is different and you cannot trust all the corrections. It means you have to re-read two files instead of one. 4) Of course, they do not cross check the sequence of pages, notes, figures etc. 5) Although they know they wont deliver the work, they never tell even if you are able to reach them. They just don't answer or keep promising so that you loose precious time and risk not to find anybody else to proof-read your work before delivery.
The whole thing is awful: they drag you down instead of simply doing what they are paid for. So, don't use them as editors or proofreaders, they will just steel your money and your time.

Another one to bite the dust on Oxbridge Essays unfortunately.
I am a mature student and as I have not studied for a long time, I thought I would get some pointers on how to lay essays out etc, just to get back into the swing of things.
Oxbridge Essays seemed like a professional company at first, they have really positive press releases from a few years ago. Maybe they used to be ok?
The reality however was disasterous.
I ordered a 1500 words essay to be done over 7 days on a subject in Health. When the 7 days was up and no sign of the essay, I emailed first asking where my essay was. No reply. I then called and realised that you cannot talk to anybody on the phone if you want to talk about an existing order. The voicemail says 'either email or call the number given to you (not given).' So I called and went through to place a new order, as there were no ways of getting to talk to a person otherwise.
I asked what had happened to the essay due. Guy on the phone went 'Oh, I am not in charge of this order, I will get your representative to call you back in 10 minutes.' Two hours later, no call. Tried to call again and again. Every time I was fobbed off, once I even got the 'oh, your essay has just arrived. It will be with you very shortly' Did it heck!!
Two days later after repeatedly emailing and calling them, I finally got an apologetic email saying I would get the essay the next day. I received an absolutely appalling essay with no sources, no references, no introduction and no conclusion talking about healthcare in India (Hardly relevant since the question is set in the UK) So very likely that the writer is in India and not an Oxbridge Graduate at all.
I have emailed them again but of course I have had no reply.
So my advice to everybody even contemplating ordering from Oxbridge Essays is; do not order from them.. They are rude and a bunch of crooks.

Sadlyscammed: they have really positive press releases from a few years ago Press releases are generally authored by the entity they are about. Meaning Oxbridge Expert wrote their own positive press releases. Demand a refund. Go through the company (credit card, bank, paypal) you paid with, if Oxbridge Experts won't deal with you. If these guys stop making money from scams, they will eventually go out of business--don't just roll over and take it.
