I raised this is website feedback, seems like they are happy to take money but not take any action.

Any other forum would have banned him a long time ago.

So the stuff on RT was the same guy that had your car ?

Yes

Well done,

Glad you got your money due.

How did RT get involved ? where you able to get hold of RT, and tell them of your predicament,?

You'd be pissed if one of these was your car on SOR.

Well, it depends how much you have had to drink, shirley?

He should be locked up...

I don't think he will. In this country, as a fraudulent trader, you have very little to worry about.

The old proverb "the cheque book is mightier than the keyboard" applies as far as Haymarket are concerned, shameful really.

Watched the Watchdog episode and he seems like a prime crook.

Pretty embarrassing that PH are continuing to allow him to advertise though.

OP, did you get your car/money back?

When I realised what was happening after reading some reviews I contacted a few of the reviewers to see how their scenario played out. That meant I was one step ahead of him on a few things so I managed to get my money quicker than if I'd not had some inside knowledge. I was then contacted by 2 of the other reviewers about 2-3 months ago telling me BBC rogue traders were on his case. So I spoke to them and told them my case. Sounds like they were fully tooled up with evidence anyway they just wanted a few more stories to validate it.

Yes, took about 5 months. He'd sold the car at least 3 months before as when I phoned the DVLA They told me they had sent me a letter with a road tax rebate which would have triggered alarm bells with me but my car was registered at my old address so I never got that letter!

Indeed - the joy of PH being run by a corporation* not by individuals with morals.






* I have worked for a number of big corporates...the moralistic don't tend to get to the top in many of them, and certainly not in sales/marketing...

Why didn't the Post Office forward your mail?






You did have mail forwarding set up - didn't you?

We could all incessantly contact him from the ads and mention Rogue Traders until he goes away!

Yes for 3 months after we moved and the one thing we forgot to update was the registered address for the car...typical.

I was in there the other day looking at the nice cars they have on offer.

I watched the BBC Watchdog program last night and could not believe the lies he was telling. It was very funny when the buyer and seller turned up at the same time. He did not have much to say to Matt thou.

In the same way the middle east is governed by medieval religious dheads, with no regard for human rights but we depend on their oil, so turn a blind eye...

Just watched that: disgraceful little man! Living it up on what is nothing more than theft with a liberal sprinkling of lies.

He needs a punch in his big fat round bald face. Despicable.
