Corrupt, Profiteering Social Landlord Uses Government Money to Live Millionaire’s Lifestyle

Principal Housing Care Ltd changed its name to Unity Care Services but still continues to abuse its position, and the local authorities are fully aware of it. Principal housing Care (now Unity Care Services of 9 Portland Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B16 9HN, Company No. 06437659, Tel 0121 454 8703), who house unaccompanied asylum seeking children on behalf of various social services including Birmingham, Solihull, Worcester Northampton, Sandwell and Telford, were investigated in the first quarter of 2007 for the shockingly poor standards of their accommodation and the extremely poor standards of care they were providing. They have now been shown to have been profiteering and employing dangerous people with no police checks in place, to look after very vulnerable unaccompanied asylum seeking children.

The directors live in millionaire mansions and drive Bentley sports cars, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Luxury Mercedes and Luxury BMW cars, while they keep asylum seeking children in run-down, unfit, unmaintained houses in unsuitable dangerous neighbourhoods / areas.

The company charge local authorities exorbitant fees for housing and support of children (up to £280 per week per person) but consistently leave children in poverty conditions with damp unfit housing with no heating etc. and little or no support.

The company employed a practising insolvency practitioner to put together accounts that try to hide a million pounds profit a year, while these children get £35 per week to feed and clothe themselves.
The directors are using government money gained from profiteering to set up other companies that also con the tax authorities. They are directors of 22 other companies set using this money gained from profiteering government money, and these companies have not filed any accounts, and will then be put into liquidation.

The directors employed their family and paid them cash, so that they could remain on benefits, they also rent properties from family members but encourage that family member to illegally claim benefit from the rented house, thus stealing government money at two more different sources.

Using money gained from profiteering government contracts they set up companies that sell property off plan, these off plan deals had no planning permission and they conned all the people who reserved apartments off plan out of approx, £7500 per person, thus using government money to con unsuspecting victims (one of these companies was Willow Walk Ltd in Wolverhampton).

The company hostel in West Bromwich, after 5 years of operation still does not have a license for H.M.O. and sleeps up to 25 vulnerable young children at any one time, these children are new to the country, do not speak English and would not understand what to do in the event of a fire etc. even if the hostel was licensed.

They employ family with no experience no qualification and no police checks, 2 of the people that Principal Housing Care (Unity Care Services) used to and still do employ, and who are members of the directors family’s, are not suitable to work with young vulnerable children. One has now been police checked now, this is the husband of the Director and shareholder of Unity Care Services and is still employed by the company, who whilst working for the company was charged with a racially motivated violent aggravated assault, this is on top of his past history of criminal activity. This person has unsupervised access to children come to this country from such places as Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. and who is shown to be a practicing violent racist.

The other person is a brother of the other director who was a director of Principal Housing Care Ltd but who is not now I understand a director of Unity Care Services, This person was convicted of attempted murder of his brother’s wife and was sent to a secure hospital for the mentally ill. This person was employed by the company for a period of 6 months at the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007, and had full access to the children in the hostel and at their houses, being made an authorised property inspector, with his own set of keys to each house.

The directors continue to profiteer from government money, live life’s of luxury, but continue to be negligent in the extreme, they have and continue to put very vulnerable children in potentially dangerous situations, giving unfit people unrestricted and unsupervised access to vulnerable children at all times. All with the knowledge of the local authorities.
