Re: Recent Negative Press On The Ahuja Group
I am sorry I have to be writing to you under these circumstances however there have been certain forum postings and newspaper article about my organisation and I wish to set the record straight.

On 7th December 2008 we hit the FRONT PAGE of the Mail on Sunday and they referred to me as the Repo Hunter. The article centered around a repossession list released by Northern Rock or someone close to Northern Rock.

I was one of many property sourcers who got this list, however the Mail on Sunday decided to write an article about my organisation and how we offered the properties on this list to my clients.

The article portrayed the fact that I was cashing in on people’s misery and hard working individuals were losing their home to greedy vulture buy to let investors including me!

To read the article search “ajay ahuja daily mail” in google and it will come up

But before you do that please carry on reading below.

This article was not the most flattering of articles and resulted in us being open for attack by:

• Our competitors
• Other media organisations
• Members of the public

I can stand up and say we do not trade in people’s misery. We find properties that meet a certain pricing criteria and we do not force people out of their homes. If anyone does the forcing it is the banks themselves.

Due to the Mail on Sunday’s article The Ahuja Group is now all of a sudden newsworthy! They aligned my small business with a £100bn publicly owned financial institution Northern Rock. As flattering as that is if there is any situation where anyone has had a less than brilliant experience with us then it is potentially worth writing about. This has certainly been the case. The Repo Hunter is being hunted! Their motives being:

• Financial gain
• Competitive advantage
• Maliciousness

Now we are a small company (with big aspirations!) and our margins do not allow for a full time press, media and legal department to defend ourselves every time a not so positive article or forum posting is written. However the wheels are in motion to recruit a locum solicitor to help out as and when the need arises.

We have decided to focus on providing damn good property deals for our large and diverse client base of 600. We will occasionally put out statements such as these to redress the balance however we want to channel our energies on pleasing our current client base. This may be a mistake on our part but until then we want to provide value to our clients as we have always done.

If you wish to read some positive news from people who have had an experience in one form or another with The Ahuja Group please read our testimonials page:
http://www.ahuja.co.uk/free-resources/testimonials/

These are real people who have attended on of our many FREE seminars, bought a training package or received property deals from us.

I hope this gives you a balanced view on our organisation and I hope we can find you a property deal or two in the future!

All the best.
