There is this site- topgradeessays.com that sends to a student an essay before asking for payments. Who has used them?? I'd love to heat a testimony cos to me they look honest........

I just checked out the site. Personally, I wouldn't use them as there is no indication where the company is based or who is behind the company.
The 'About us' section is very wordy and doesn't actually say anything about who / where they are and certainly at the moment doesn't give any company registration details which they should have (and should declare on their website) if they are a legitimate UK business; if they can't complete their own 'About us' section with basic company information - or don't recognise that this info needs to be provided - then I certainly wouldn't trust them with my essay!
I may be very wrong but it looks a lot like another one of the UK-Indian/UK-Pakistani essay sites that are springing up across the UK.
More and more essay companies are starting up every week in the UK, spurred on no doubt by the many newspaper articles in the UK over the summer which reported big profits for essay companys with the owner of one talking about his ferrari and lambourghini cars.
I'd give them a miss.

I agree with Ben. I wouldn't go near a website like this as there is NO company information on the website.
I did a whois domain look up:
Website registrant is listed as Roman Altamirano
Registered through: Domains Priced Right ( a US based company)
Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.CYBERCASTCO.COM
NS2.CYBERCASTCO.COM
Both these servers are off-shore with a Panama registered company
Topgradeessays.com says it is UK based but there is nothing on the website or in the website's registration information to link the company to the UK.
Buyer beware!!

It actually gets worse.
"Roman Altamirano" is notorious across the web for his online fraud and has been around before in the guise of the "Global Finance Corporation", which used the same domain servers as the current essay scam company. In the "Global Finance Corporation" scam this scam people were asked to send money by E-bullion and Alertpay which would be held on deposit and then added to their account in a pyramid banking scheme; needless to say they lost their money.
Don't give them your credit card details - even if they say you won't be charged til you give the go ahead - and don't send them any money!

The Panama base should have been a big clue that this was not a legitimate business.
I googled "Roman Altamirano" and his name comes up in connection with several 419 scams:
~ Global Finance Corporation pyramid banking scam
~ Indonesia Investment scam
~ Global Funds scam
~ Glamour Trust International scam
All the companies have the same registrant and domain servers as this essay company.
It looks bad so take care to keep your money safe.

And even worse..
Part of what he sent me under the guise (and website) of a legit US Company.
Dig that crazy use of language, baby..!
"This kind of task is nothing of a regular basis as we will be opening a business
account for Aquaterra in NatWest which should be ready within a month. Before
that and with this payment I urge you to not indicate any business with this
project, as the payment should be completely tax liable which it's not. Treat
it as a donation, which is not subject to tax. With business account ready we
will avoid such inconvenience, however at this point not indicating any business
is crucial to not harm our starting business in any way".
