[Mika Clouseau]

I am going through the process of purchasing a vehicle from an internet company based in Nottingham. I have paid my deposit but since then I am getting no replies to e-mails and phone calls are going unanswered. I was not sure of dealing with an online company and wonder if anyone has had similar experiences.This is turning out to be extremely stressfull.

How did you pay?

[Mika Clouseau]

Unfortunately I paid by bank transfer, with hindsight I should have paid by credit card but the salesman was convincing; more fool me.

Posting the details of the dealer may get you more info. Or be a warning to others.

Thanks for the info. I submitted details on another forum but the dealer had it removed. The company seem to work out of an apartment at The Arena, Nottingham and trade as My Left Hand Drive. This has been the most frustrating transaction in my life, hopefully just a communication breakdown.

A bit of an update. I eventually received the car, unfortunately 10,000kms more than stated, no electric seats, no front light washers, faulty bluetooth and not road legal as no registration documents. I asked for compensation which was originally agreed, then after the dealer foud out I was on this forum looking for advice he is threatening to sue me and get the post removed!!!

Failing that if everything stated is true and accurate I'm not sure what he thinks is going to happen

Mika,

 

I am having a similar issue with the same company. I found your post by doing a search on Google. Is there a way you can pass me your email address or a phone number? Would love to have a quick chat to discuss a few things.

 

Thanks.

Carig, I do not wish to post my personal details on a public forum and I am currently not at a 'post' level which allows me to pm you. I'm not sure of you wish to expand on your dealings publicly?

Good call !

[bosscat]

Oh dear! I too am in the process of buying a car from this company, I too have had some communication problems, and I too found this forum on a google search. There seems to be a bit of an uncomfortable pattern emerging here! However, I've noticed that they tend only to get in touch when they've got something definite to say, so I'm really really hoping that they're just not good at sending out those reasuring 'we're still working for you' type of communications! It will remain to be seen!

Hi Bosscat,Hopefully you will have received some good news by now, but going from personel experiences I doubt it.

Hi Craig,I hope that progress has been made with your transaction?

[bosscat]

Hi Mika/Craig,

 

Did you ever manage to sort out your problems with your purchases?

[Mika Clouseau]

Unfortunately not Bosscat. The dealer has used my posting on this thread (and others) as an excuse not to pay out compensation as previously promised. There are probably many good and honest internet traders out there, but I will never ever purchase from a car dealer again who does not have a showroom. I suppose I was conned by claims made through his listings on a well known internet trading site.

Well we have now seen an invoice for a vehicle from My LHD and also a delivery note which relates to the same vehicle and the recorded mileages are dramatically different.

 

We have also receive some messages from My LHD requiring us to take down this thread.

I see no reason to do this so far - but of course, MY LHD is welcome to come on to this forum and to give their side of the story.

Dear BankFodder

 

Thank you for answering.

 

Could you let everyone know when the delivery note was issued?

 

I will then be in a position to answer this thread.

 

Thanks

[Mika Clouseau]

Wow,

 

Thanks to the Furum for managing to force LHD into communicating on this issue, indeed communicating in general. The evidence regarding delivery has been supplied and verified; also confirmation that an offer of compensation was made (and accepted). This in now April 2013, so where is it?

I am surprised that LHD would rather respond through a public forum, rather than in a business like manner.

[MYLHD]

Thanks for the answer MIKA,

 

We never had to post on websites before. Obviously you have been very active on forums and web reviews. Did you really post your answer at 3 AM in the morning?

 

Sorry, but we cant find a single delivery related to this issue in december as we successfully delivered around 40 vehicles in 2012's last quarter.

 

So could you answer the following questions?

 

I still require that you or Bankfodder indicate when the delivery note was issued. I'm wondering why bankfodder didnt reply?

 

You mentioned an agreement, for what amount?

 

From my understanding you have left this undealt with for quite while (at least 5 months) If our answers were unsatisfactory

why didn't you take the legal route (cancellation, courts, moneyclaim or trading standards) ?

 

Also could the admin publish our responses page 1?

 

I will then be in a position to post an elaborate response.

 

Have a nice evening.

Can you clarify please that you are saying that you have not supplied a car to MIKA? (Obviously we do not know MIKA's real identity but I would of thought that you would be able to verify from the vehicle details to whether you supplied it or not)

Sam,

 

As far as Im concerned MIKA is/was a singer?

 

Sorry I thought my answer was quite clear. From what this member is indicating, there are no deliveries relating to his story.

This is why we want to know when this "delivery note" was issued.

 

 

At this stage, all we have is a seemingly frustrated CAG member and an admin indicating he has evidence

that he doesnt share (after having invited us here). I trust bankfodder would give a neutral point of view on things?

 

But I'm coming to the painful conclusion that we would have more rights in a proper Tribunal.

 

Im not victimising here, our branches sell around 200 cars per year. Our business is solvent and can address any issue, if there were recurring problems with the way we handle customer complaints,surely there would be many more negative reviews out there.

 

Whoever MIKA is, he's clearly not doing much to receive compensation. But he's quite busy on web reviews though...

 

Thanks
