Angels Films Ltd - Stevi Glasspell - Has anyone used them?

I'm so shocked at the appalling way you poor ladies have been treated and have lost both your money and your DVDs, as it stands at the mo.  You have trusted this company to record your special day and have nothing back in return.  Contact Trading Standards/Watchdog make the relevant authorities know that this company has taken your money and hasn't supplied you with the goods!

Watchdog would track this company down! You can contact them via the BBC website - surely its worth a punt - even if you're protecting future brides from the experience you have had.  Not all video companies are like this!

hello ladies i also paided him  to video my wedding on the 4th august 2010 and he just did not show up, so not only did i pay 600 pound but got no dvd i have tried to get in touch and have now taken legal action against this man, i have also informed trading standards about the company i urge all you people to do the same as he is still taking bookings for weddings so more people will be in the same boat as we are, if anyone has paided the deposit cut your losses and book with someone else. we were very lucky that our wedding co ordinator at the hotel manged to get us a replacement videographer who turned out to be lovely and not a rip off merchant if anyone is looking for someone relaible visit visions uk. do not let this go seek legal action

you are better off cancelling now and losing 100 pound than being out of pocket 600 pound with no dvd

hi we are in same boat,how can someone do that on any couples big day,we are upset,we got married in may 2010,he turned up and said dvds would be ready and sent out within 2 months,so we emailed and we were told the dvds were being sent out the following day,that was 1 month ago and we are still waiting now,have tried ringing the number on the website but is discontinued he is not replying to emails,how did you go about taking legal action against this man.

joanne have you managed to get in touch with this man.

hi no unfortuanetly i have emailed dozends of times, tried phoning the contact number i have and have sent letters to the address i have had no reply

i phoned my local police and they gave me the number for trading standards and we have just been in touch with a lawyer, also if u paid the money on a credit card or visa debit card you can trya nd claim money back through the bank or credit card company that is what we were advised to do. i would advise everyone to do the same

Hi SolsticeBride I am pleased to know you are as persistant as me....I will not walk away without recieving at least the raw recordings of the rest of our wedding day! We got married on July 3rd this year and thanks to my husbands clever thinking he got Stevi to download (what we thought was all) of the raw recordings from the day onto our portable hard drive at the wedding, on the night! When I asked where the rest was in an email follow-up he explained that the speaches etc were recorded on some other format which he didn't have the equipment to transfer for us that night also but would be on the video. He went as far as to create a half hour video (incompleted) for our viewing and to advise him if this was ok or would we like changes etc. He has not come back to me! I have sent many emails, my husband has sent many emails, tried calling many times and nothing. I am beyond mad...more like flaming furious at this man.

My husband, after trying to chase him again today, has pointed out all your forums about this guy. The booking was last minute and I didn't investigate more into this like I normally do when booking someone for something especially when it's a once in a lifetime wedding! Argh! We will want to take legal action. I don't know if anything can be claimed from our Wedding Insurance but I'll look into this. We dont live far from Hemel Hempstead so I think we can make a trip for the good will of all to see if he still lives there.

If by any chance you do have another address for him, please would you be so kind as to let me know. I don't even care about the discs I just want the raw recordings of the speeches etc. I can deal with the rest. I will persist until I get some kind of result.

Hi ladies,

I cant believe he has been doing this since at least last June, absolutely disgraceful, here is my update:

Wedding Insurers say they cannot do anything until the company is confirmed as going under via Companies House, as stated above, this was due to be 1/9/10, as yet no update on Companies House website (still states 'Active-Proposal to strike off').  The London Gazette (where these things are published) seems to be released weekly on a Monday, so in theory, it should be confirmed tomorrow, at which time I am going to go back to my insurers again.

I have also been busy scouring the internet to find any items on Angels Films, any advertisements and using the 'contact' button on those websites to send messages to Stevi. i have also sent him messages on Facebook but as you can probably guess, no replies!

I have also found some sites where he has adverts which allow you to leave reviews, so needless to say I have left some very non positive reviews!

Also my agent who went to visit him has been back a few times since and as people have said, it appears that he is no longer living there.

One last thing, I have been advised by some colleagues in our credit and risk department, that if the company shows as going into adminstration, then we will be able to register ourselves as creditors to the administrators. If this does happen I intend to do this also and will let you all know how to go about it if you are interested?

I  am beginning to get stressed out and upset about it all now, you think that all the stress is over with once you get to the wedding day! How wrong you can be!  ;o)

I been onto the Watchdog website and contacted them with the problem, maybe Rogue Trader might be an idea too! I havent heard anything back from Watchdog though.

I feel so helpless, I wish there was something we were able to do, at the very least to stop this man trading!

well I have just had the biggest shock!!!!

Postman has just delivered my 10 wedding dvds!!!

I have had no contact from Mr Glasspell but they just turned up in the post this morning so hopefully there is hope for all you other brides as well!!!!

Fingers crossed!!!

we have just had the same thing!! I sent him a heartfelt email friday and low and behold my dvd's have come today in the post too !.   Lets hope he has finally realised he could no longer carry on this scam and every bride now gets her dvds!!  I really hope so as this was such a cruel con us brides are ripped off showing our biggest day off to those who could not be there and that is way more important then money !!

I really hope this does mean that everyone will get there DVDs now.

We started a court claim last week so I thought that might of had something to do with it, but maybe not!!!

I'm actually really happy with mine as well!! Shame it has taken 9 months and a lot of stress and heartache but at least it is here now!!!!
