CALAFEX – Campaign Against Leasehold and Freehold Exploitation
On Monday, we asked the question as to whether TheTruthAboutSolitaire, should commence our campaign called ‘CALAFEX’ or ‘Campaign for Leasehold and Freehold Exploitation’.
Following many of your comments and messages of support, we are pleased to advise that this will be happening. We’ve put together a temporary web page, explaining what our aim is and how people can contact us to tell their side of the story.
Don’t panic, this won’t mean that TheTruthAboutSolitaire will not be updated! In fact, it’ll be the opposite. Many of the contributions from you all, will be published on CALAFEX and taking inspiration from CARLEX (Campaign Against Retirement Leasehold Exploitation) – we hope that we will gain even more support than TheTruthAboutSolitaire already has!
Whilst the CALAFEX website is setup, we’ll be publishing any comments we receive on TheTruthAboutSolitaire.
In commencing the ‘CALAFEX’ campaign, it will allow leaseholders and freeholders, who are being exploited by other ‘non Peverel / Consensus Business Group’ companies to air their views.
By doing so, we hope that CARLEX’s fight for the Retirement sector and our CALAFEX campaign – will result in the Property Management / Service industry, being sorted out for once and for all.
It’ll also hopefully make MP’s and the Government take notice that these campaigns are running for a reason – which will give more weight to our No.10 Petition.
CARLEX are currently promoting the No.10 Petition and we should see support for this grow in the next few weeks, at the time of writing this post, we were up to 829 signatures!
We Now Need Your Help
We want CALAFEX to have all the necessary information that is available for residents to easily access and understand, what options are available to them, when trying to replace a property management company.
Therefore, if you are reading this from a development that has recently replaced a Property Management Company – (that’s any of them!) – we’d really appreciate it, if you can detail how you went about doing it and what was involved.
We want to have an encyclopedia of information, so that people haven’t got to search the web for different info as it’ll be in one place.
In addition to this, we also want to hear from you if you can recommend a reputable property management company that you have been impressed with – afterall, we know that there are good one’s out there, it’s just a matter of finding them.
Finally, we are looking for a web designer, who would be interested in supporting our campaign and helping us to produce a professional and corporate WordPress theme, that will reflect the CALAFEX campaign. We have our ‘logo’ and the ‘brand identity’, but need a bit more help in turning that into a ‘product’. If that’s you, please contact us.
We are determined to succeed and realise that CALAFEX is going to be a lot of work, but it will only be successfuly if we have everyone’s support and backing.
Please e-mail any info to the usual address, that can be found within the ‘Contact Us’ section of TheTruthAboutSolitaire.
Here’s to the future!!

Well Done!!!!!
4th February 2010 is the day when TTAS have taken the bold step to go nationwide to show the way to those who were lost in maze created by management companies.
Please let us start too on the builders to force them to sell the land in the package so the new buyers can be proud to own and mange their land and property.
Please take extra care in employing professionals to create new site. I am afraid you do not know who you are employing and if they have hidden agenda. The sites can be brought down very easily. I am quite happy the way it is until you find someone you can trust and share your path of truth, passion and commitment.
All the best
