By Steve Conley, Founder – Get SAFE (Support After Financial Exploitation)
1. The Case Behind the Curtain
A citizen came to Get SAFE in 2025, convinced that something deeply wrong had occurred in the transfer and possession of her home. Over time she uncovered evidence that no lawful authority existed for the “repossession” that had taken place years earlier.
On the surface, it appeared to be a routine lender enforcement case. But when she examined the official Land Registry record, she found no mention of the bank said to hold the charge. Instead, the charge was registered solely in the name of a law firm — a firm that, by law, cannot hold such an interest in its own right.
There were no original mortgage deeds, no branded lender documents, and no signed terms and conditions — just photocopies, paralegal statements, and assertions of authority.
With patient guidance from our mentors, she learned how to build her own timeline, obtain the official documents, and piece together the chain of title. What emerged was a textbook example of how ordinary citizens can challenge powerful institutions using logic, law, and perseverance.
2. What Really Happened
In many historic mortgage and property cases, ownership of the debt has been sold, reassigned, or securitised multiple times. Over the decades, the paper trail often collapses — yet enforcement continues as if the original authority still existed.
In this case, the so-called lender could not produce any legal evidence that it still held the charge. The entity actually listed on the register was a solicitor’s firm, acting without transparency about its principal.
The citizen’s discovery revealed a wider pattern: repossession without proof of title. Once rare and tightly controlled, this practice has gradually normalised since the 1970s, allowing homes and equity to be seized through administrative processes that escape proper judicial scrutiny.
3. The Turning Point
Working through Get SAFE’s Citizen Investigator Playbook, the individual learned to:
- Obtain evidence directly – request the official register, deeds, and case files.
- Organise documents chronologically – using digital tools such as Notion templates.
- Identify contradictions – spotting missing authorities, incorrect entities, or unsealed deeds.
- Separate emotion from evidence – keeping impact statements distinct from factual submissions.
- Engage ethically – addressing courts and regulators with clarity, professionalism, and restraint.
These steps turned confusion into structured advocacy. By the time the matter reached the court, she could show that no lawful authority existed for the charge being enforced.
4. Lessons for Every Citizen
1. Never assume the paperwork is correct.
Even when documents look official, confirm that the entity claiming rights over your property or investment is actually registered as the legal owner or charge holder.
2. Request everything in writing.
Verbal assurances or letters “on behalf of” another party mean little without a clear chain of authority. Ask for certified copies of deeds, assignments, and Land Registry entries.
3. Learn the difference between void and voidable.
If something was done without authority, it may be void ab initio – legally never valid. Understanding this can prevent you being drawn into endless civil proceedings over acts that were unlawful from the outset.
4. Keep your communications disciplined.
Righteous anger is understandable, but excessive emotion can obscure the evidence. Present facts first, impacts second.
5. Avoid isolation.
Financial exploitation often breeds shame and exhaustion. Reach out early to trusted allies, advocacy groups, or Get SAFE mentors. Shared knowledge breaks the silence that predators depend on.
5. If You Recognise Yourself in This Story
If you suspect an unauthorised repossession, investment loss, or misuse of your financial data:
- Preserve evidence – bank statements, letters, legal documents, and digital correspondence.
- Request your data – through Subject Access Requests to the bank, solicitors, or regulators.
- Record events in order – dates, people involved, and what was said or done.
- Seek guidance, not representation – Get SAFE mentors can help you build your own case, not take it over.
- Stay within the law – avoid direct confrontation or publishing allegations; focus on evidence and due process.
6. How Get SAFE Can Help
Get SAFE isn’t an investigative agency. It’s a training ground for citizen investigators.
We teach individuals how to:
- Understand legal and regulatory systems;
- Structure evidence for formal complaint and redress;
- Communicate professionally with authorities;
- Protect their own wellbeing while pursuing justice.
Our model is simple:
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Done by You | You learn to run your own investigation using our Playbook and AI tools. |
| Done with You | We guide, mentor, and review your work to help you stay accurate and safe. |
| Not Done for You | We never act on your behalf — the power and authorship remain with you. |
This ensures you remain the owner of your evidence, your narrative, and your outcome.
7. A Wider Truth
The story above is not an isolated tragedy; it’s a mirror reflecting a deeper systemic issue — the gap between paper justice and lived justice.
When institutions exploit that gap, citizens must learn how to close it.
Education is protection.
Organisation is strength.
Transparency is justice.
Through Get SAFE, we are proving that ordinary people — when properly trained — can uncover extraordinary truths, and that empowerment is the most effective antidote to exploitation.

Get SAFE: A Fellowship for Those Walking Through Fire
Get SAFE is becoming what people are desperately searching for —
a structured, ethical, trauma-informed community for:
- victims of financial exploitation
- whistleblowers
- bereaved families
- citizen investigators
- advocates and moral leaders
The Fellowship is simple but profound:
We gather to recover agency, share truth, deepen courage, and support one another in the long path from harm to justice.
We are not aligned with any regulator, political system, or institution.
Our strength is our independence.
People came alive when they heard it:
“A Fellowship of truth, justice, and recovery — not a bureaucracy.”
“A place where victims are finally believed.”
“A community rooted in courage, not compliance.”
And because of the AI frameworks we’ve introduced, this Fellowship is not just emotional support — it is practical empowerment.
For the first time, ordinary people can:
- build digital dossiers
- reconstruct timelines
- detect patterns of institutional misconduct
- write letters with authority
- expose evidence regulators overlooked
- collaborate safely across cases
- turn pain into purpose
This is how movements begin.
Planning My Life: Preventing Exploitation Before It Starts
What the event also confirmed is this:
People fall into financial exploitation when they fall out of sovereignty.
Planning My Life sits exactly at this junction.
It teaches people:
- how to think independently
- how to plan their lives before planning their money
- how to identify institutional risk
- how to spot predatory sales patterns
- how to avoid product-led advice
- how to stay structurally trustworthy
- how to build a life where no adviser can mislead, confuse, or coerce them
Prevention and recovery are two halves of the same circle.
Get SAFE rescues those already harmed.
Planning My Life equips people so it never happens again.
Together, they form a complete empowerment system.
A New Model of Justice Is Emerging — Built by the People Themselves
The collective energy of the event revealed a truth that no institution dares speak:
When regulators fail, citizens take up the role of regulator.
When governance collapses, the governed take up the role of governance.
When truth is buried, truth-tellers become archivists of justice.
The movement we are seeing now is not political.
It is human.
It is built on:
- transparency
- dignity
- courage
- integrity
- collective intelligence
- and the healing power of community
These are the values Paul Moore lived and died for.
This event honoured him not by remembering his warnings —
but by continuing his fight.
Where We Go From Here
The Academy of Life Planning now carries a responsibility that is both moral and strategic:
To give people the tools to understand their lives,
their finances,
and their evidence —
so exploitation no longer survives in the shadows.
Through:
- Planning My Life (self-sovereignty)
- Get SAFE (justice and recovery)
- AI-as-co-pilot (pattern recognition, empowerment, clarity)
- The Fellowship (community and courage)
- The GAME Plan (a universal cycle of intention-to-manifestation)
…we are building the world that institutions promised but failed to deliver.
A world where truth has a home.
A world where victims are lifted, not shunned.
A world where ordinary people can finally stand equal to the powers that harmed them.
A world where transparency is not a slogan —
it is a lived practice that restores dignity, agency, and hope.
This is the movement Paul Moore began.
This is the movement that rose in that meeting.
This is the movement we now carry forward.
And we will not stop until every victim finds their voice,
every truth comes to light,
and every life stolen by exploitation is honoured through justice.
