Hi there. Thanks for responding. Should know better as I have legal background, but caught up with personal family drama and paid by bank transfer as I wanted to save credit card charges. Would have been so much cheaper had I paid by card.

Re: Awful experience with mylhd BUYERS BEWARE - I have had an abysmal association with My 'LHD' UK Ltd. I paid a 20% deposit for a Mercedes SLK and, even repeated warning bells of being ignored and not receiving replies to e-mails or telephone messages, did not prevent me from being duped by this Company. Luckily, because of the Company's inefficiency and lack of professionalism, information it provided about its Euro Bank Account were inaccurate and the final payment for the car did not go through and the payment was rejected by the Company's Bank, albeit €346 short. Sadly I did not see this forum until after I had paid the deposit and I hope that by posting other unsuspecting potential buyers will pick up these threads as I am surprised at the online sales activity still enjoyed by such a Company. Despite being assured by the Company Director that my deposit would be returned if my requirements could not be satisfied, he did not honour his word. I was advised that I was protected by the Distance Selling Regulations, so I issued a Summons through the Courts, but the Company lodged what I can only describe as a completely fabricated defence which made it clear to me the course that the Proceedings would take. Also, one must bear in mind that the Company could possibly go into voluntary liquidation in which case any claim would be lost. So, I closed the case down and decided to cut my losses. An expensive lesson, but one I will never forget.
