In 2009, CashMyGold.co.uk hired Dale Winton to advertise their gold buying service. Three years on, and the company behind CashMyGold (Bullion Buying Limited) is to be struck off of companies house.
Christopher Lyons and Justin Prichard, who jointly ran the business, have been removed as directors.

Gold Selling Message
There are literally hundreds of gold buyers in the country who are less than honest in their appraisals, or with their tax paying! Beware of ALL ‘cash for gold’ companies who fail to clearly state the price they pay. If you see an online calculator, double check the small print, as many companies do not pay the amount that they quote. Many companies put hidden fees in their terms and conditions (small print) which you may not be aware of.
