This operation is run by a man called Peter John Smith. You should steer clear of them as there is evidence to suggest that they do not always pay for products and/or services even though they have been delivered correctly and without any defects. Other operations that Mr Peter John Smith is associated with have a track record of non-payment - they have official County Court Judgements (CCJs) against them, precisely because they took services and decided not to pay for them.

They registered to use our service and agreed to make regular payments on set dates AFTER we had delivered our service. We delivered our service as promised. Shortly after taking delivery, Peter John Smith on behalf of Maxim Solutions Limited proceeded to highlight a long list of "problems". We clearly demonstrated that these were not related to our service. Months went by and although we had explained and demonstrated that we had delivered the service correctly, he just refused to make payments. He finally declared that they would not be paying us a penny...ever. Unfortunately, this type of behavior is what puts thousands of small businesses out of business.

This all happened at the height of the recession when businesses were going into administration and all businesses, no matter how large, were at risk. Peter John Smith has been a director of 5 companies, 3 of which have been dissolved and/or have County Court Judgements (CCJs) against him.

His companies include Wish Solutions Ltd, Voice and Data Intelligence Ltd and Media Networks - they have CCJs and/or are now dissolved, after leaving a trail of debt and destruction behind.

It is unfortunate that there are companies like this - they often start off by not paying their suppliers on time and subsequently decide not to pay them at all. I had to do some investigating to find this information and I hope it will help protect other suppliers.

I really do hope that this notice will help others avoid being scammed. The other great hope is that Mr Paul John Smith will finally understand that he needs to pay for services that he purchases for his company. There are always going to be those companies that never intended to pay. A simple credit check should expose the main culprits, but sometimes you need to dig a little deeper into the associations between companies and their directors. Our mistake was not to look deeply enough at the other companies that Peter John Smith was associated with - as mentioned already, many are now out of business and/or with CCJs, having left behind debts that are owed to suppliers.

If you are a supplier of any service, you should beware of Maxim Solutions Limited and companies that are associated with their Director, Peter John Smith. As highlighted, their payment track record is not good and they continue to leave unpaid debts behind them. It is hard and expensive to get them for small companies to force them to pay their debts and they feel that they can just walk without any regard for the consequences on others. They ignore the very serious damage that their poor payment practices do to small businesses. If you are a buyer, please spare a thought for hundreds or thousands of small businesses and their dependent families across the UK and avoid companies that thrive only by scamming others.
