Discussion
Paula, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. It`s all very well people spouting off that "you should do this" or "why aren`t you doing that?".... As you point out, all the legal clout available in the system that we have just doesn`t seem to able to affect this company. I do feel very sorry for you but please continue to update this thread with any events that occur, if only to keep this topic alive, and as I pointed out, it may help stop anyone else being scammed.

Hi!
I am Paula from the above quote- just came across this!!
It may seem like 'rolling over' or 'giving up' but this guy is an expert at cheating people out of money, and seems to know exactly what he can get away with.
When I first started having issues with this company, I tried to phone several times to get answers. I had spoken to the DVLNI (as I was purchasing an Irish plate at the same time as retaining my own) and was told that the plate I had purchased was still on a vehicle in Ireland and Reg4Vehicles had made no attempt to purchase it- 6 weeks after cashing my cheque. I confronted Reg4Vehicles with this information and was screamed at and threatened down the phone and called all the names under the sun by Rakesh Verma. It was at this point I realised that this company were not as they seemed and I was told by the DVLA to report all my documents as stolen as this company were will known to them. I proceeded to speak to another reg company who managed to find out who owned this plate and they spoke to them for me. Rakesh Verma, after telling me that he would see to it personally that I never got my transfer or my money back, then tried to purchase the plate telling the owner that I had held up the transfer due to not sending all my documents in- a complete lie.
To cut a very long story short (sort of!) I had to take this to court, which finally happened in December. They didn't turn up to the court, nor explain why they weren't there. The judge was very unimpressed with their behaviour and said instantly that he would be ordering them to pay my money back as they'd taken £250 of my money and I'd got nothing in return. They were ordered to pay by the 3rd January but the money never appeared. They've ignored all emails and letters and my last resort is to go up to Leicester myself to get my money back somehow!
To take this further in the courts,( a charge order/bailiffs/ account freeze etc) would cost £200. As there is no guarantee that this will get me my money back (in fact it's very likely it wouldn't) I simply refuse to let Rakesh Verma make me lose any more money that I already have. I am one of many, and some have been conned out of thousands and never got it back.
My only advice is to stay well away from this company. They are well known to trading standards and the police fraud department, and Rakesh Verma is a scumbag parasite who lives off money that he's stolen from honest people who actually work for their money.

No updates I'm afraid. Have sent at least ten more emails and letters since my last post. Getting so fed up I'm now going back through the courts, even though I was adamant that I wouldn't.

Hi-
Just trying to keep this thread going! Have still had no luck in the return of my money- its now been nearly a year since I took them to court. Since starting the Facebook page have had quite a few messages etc from people in the same boat and the reviewcentre website seems to keep acquiring new reviews from other victims.
Am currently compiling lots of evidence to post into watchdog so if anyone else has a story to share please send onto me!

"Reg4Vehicles are professional thieves"
As a retired dealer in registration numbers, I can tell you that Rakesh Verma's criminal activities are not restricted to ripping his customers off. He also steals from his colleagues in the business, having helped himself to quantities of my stock by applying successfully to the DVLA for duplcate documents for vehicles in my possession. How he continues to walk around free is a mystery. He must have a lot of friends in the police.
