western Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 beats me how & why they are still allowed to trade, reckon they should all be locked up for fraudulent trading, must be someway to take them out of the LR parts trade. hope you get your items, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Stobbie, contact Trading Standards, which is the UK authority on such matters. They will take the details and investigate and arbitrate. If there are other reports, they will prosecute him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 He needs locking up, why he can keep getting away with it every time is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 No, you need to pay him by credit card, it'll escalate and get messy quick then, banks don't like people stealing their money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 This guy has some sort of a mental condition as far as I'm concerned. This constant short-term thinking, rejection of reality, and no idea of what causality is, means something is missing upstairs. Is he running for some sort of a major political party as well?

dailysleaze Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Seeing as it's Newbury tomorrow, it's reminded me of dealing with a trader there once. I picked 4 items from the "Everything is £1" box. I gave him a tenner. He stood their looking confused and flustered. He said "sorry mate I didn't go to school; maths isn't my strong point". His friend came over and told him to give me a fiver and a £1 coin. He wasn't just an assistant hired for the day (he was young), it was his business.... Not everyone who has a business wants to run a business, i.e. building a customer base. They only want to receive money for the objects that they have, which other people badly want. Unfortunately this is a lot of the "dismantle a broken vehicle and sell the bits" industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Why do people spend money with companies without taking time to check their reputation? There are two threads on here at the moment regarding non delivery of parts, in each case 5 minutes with Google would have told anyone to steer clear of the companies concerned. Is it a case of "bargain" and all sense goes out the window? If it is, then when second hand parts are concerned is it any wonder so many vehicles get stolen? Oh yes, Newbury, anyone going, count how many Police there are there actively checking parts for security marking, smart water, stolen vins etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his Facebook page, he's pretty young. The reality is that he probably over inflated what he was offering and didn't have the experience to know how to deal with being confronted by a customer, so lied and deflected his way through (as children do). The fact he said "Please remove your Facebook comments now" means he doesn't know how having a Facebook page for your business works in the Web 2.0 world.

landroversforever Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I don't think it's that, he's been involved in dodgey dealings as part of NoFear off-road for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The linking of the new name to the old business came after Stobbie had purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst he is fairly young his father was in the business to, in fact the original business was set up by his father in Edwards name as he had been banned from setting one up in his own. So I'd say he has been taught from an early age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Does it not just simply come down to being totally and utterly selfish ? As in; they see the world only in terms of themselves and thus what they can get out of it. It's one of the few things in life that makes me swear. So, you can put it down to their upbringing or call them tw@ts - the truth is they are probably just tw@ts who had a bad upbringing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rherl Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I've bought a LHD Puma bulkhead complete with dash of him a few months ago. He didn't want to ship it, I should collect so that sounded thrustworthy. So I paid him the money and sent a courier. When the courier arrived the bulkhead wasn't ready. They told the courier that they didn't understand why I sent my own courier while they had offered to ship it to me.. He should come back the next day. Next day the courier arrives but they said the bulkhead was somewhere in the back now and the couldn't reach it and he had to wait. AFter an hour my courier left. A week later he went to collect the bulkhead again and it was ready, all wrapped up in black plastic. Ofcourse I had to pay my courier three times now.. When the bulkhead arrived here in Holland I found out there was only a bulkhead, and the outer shell of the dash, but all important parts, the parts that we bought the bulkhead for were missing. All smaller plastic bit missing, no heater, no airco, no clocks, nothing. After complaining to Edward Barrington he offered to send me the missing parts. After asking for them every day for a few weeks he said they were collected and on there way to me. Ofcourse nothing had arrived. So I started contacting him again. I have asked him everyday for a tracking number for weeks and everyday he said he had forgotten about it and he would send it to me the next day from work. After another two weeks he said the parts would be collected that week and he would send it with express delivery. After asking for a tracking number he said that on this economy delivery there was no tracking possible. Ofcourse I never expected the missing parts to arrive, but I will take all possible measures to make him sorry.. Stobbie I sent you a PM regarding Edward.
