Snagger Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Why Trading Standards allow multiple company names for the same staff and location is beyond me - it is clearly fraudulent. I hope their shop burns down with all the staff trapped inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjas Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks for the replies and support, much appreciated. Down £4,350, yes a stupid naive mistake trusting them. Police have opened an "Incident" report, also Gloucester Consumer Service/Trading Standards. Sent registered letter requesting money, telephoned etc... Have to follow due legal process, giving 14 days. On day 15 will be going through small claims, another £200+. Then have CCJ and Crown Court Bailiffs. Not going to let this rest; I'll keep you guys informed. Happy 4x4 ing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Once you have the CCJ against them go straight for a High Court judgement, it only costs £60 and that cost and the costs of enforcing the judgement are added to the fund being recovered, plenty of info on Wikipedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjas Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 OK thanks. Have to give 14 days to respond. On day 15 will be going through small claims (£200). Then another 14 days etc before can go CCJ and Bailiffs etc. If you don't follow "legal" procedures, CCJ & High Court won't allow case.

sjas Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have passed all details pertaining to this company and their other company names etc to Action Fraud. www.actionfraud.police.uk They are collating ALL information and coordinating ALL data. PLEASE, PLEASE, log on to Action Fraud and tell them of any FRAUD by these people. If we work together we can get a Prosecution! If you know anyone else who believes they have been a victim of fraud who wants to report the incident please ask them to complete the online report found at www.actionfraud.police.uk, or phone the contact centre on 0330 303 0800. Please remember that it is not possible for each report to be investigated individually; however the information you supply will help police to stop the fraudsters and keep other potential victims safe. For further advice on fraud, and how to avoid it, please return to our website: www.actionfraud.police.uk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studmuffin Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 There is possibly another route to take which is called issuing a Statutary Demand although its 20 years or so since I last did this so possibly things have changed. You used to get the form for a minimal cost from Oyez Legal Stationers, and register it at the court. Effectively IIRC, once issued, it puts you in front of any other creditor including their bank, taxman or someone with a lien on the business. The last time I used this the company involved had to settle our £10K bill before they could file for administration/insolvency. Once isuued you then have the legal right to issue a winding up petition with you as the prime preferred creditor. You need to balance this with any assets they show in the business. The problem is, these sort of scrotes are always late filing accounts, the business assets are worth three fifths of beggar all, or they cease trading and register another company. I hope you do get some satisfaction and get your money back. From memory I think you also have a right to complain in writing to Companies House who have the power to ban someone from being a Director, although in the case of this man and his father this should have happened years ago. Best of luck Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm leaning towards fire bombing them in their car, the only way they stop people like this (and after seeing how many companies they are involved with and have registered at same place) they are just outright thieves, 10 different companies owning a fraction of nothing to give to the courts to settle debts. Now, 98 or 95RON? In all seriousness, it is in their nature, only very real life threatening consequences will change them, the current legal system only serves to protect ponses like these!

stobbie Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Didn't get any updates off lr4x4, so haven't been here for a while.. Did you guys see the photo of the puma 90 with old registration on his facebook? He offered that car for sale some time ago, and on the photo's from the chassis you could see a weld crossing the VIN number. Can you check the registration of this car online somewhere in the UK? Who can we inform about this car.. It probably has been stolen somewhere.. If anyone knows Edwards private address, could you PM that to me. I would like to send him a letter from my lawyer..
