Warning cowboy trader
 

If you live in the UK this may be of use

<snip>i

about 6 weeks ago I ordered some tyres from an ad
in Top Marques. The Tyre Company Ltd based in
Nottingham...big savings advertised so I thought
ok get them on the old barclaycard and all should
be well.
When I ordered them I stated when I needed them
for and was told that wasnt a problem!!!
So a week after my required delivery date I
cancelled them. Had an interesting conversation
with the little boy who answered the phone, he
tried to charge me 20% for cancellation, after I
had left him bleeding and broken in a corner he
decided 'perhaps not' and promised to refund my
£309. that was 4 weeks ago and guess what???
No dosh. I have telephoned repeatedly, I cannot
speak to THE MANAGER (name unknown as they will
not give out that information) his is
1. out of the office
2. off sick
3. on holiday
or they dont answer the phone. Barclaycard tell
me it will be about 2 months to get my dosh back
through them...not as easy or safe as I thought!!
I am now ready to go down there with a baseball
bat, my patience is at an end.
Please feel free to post this on any board you
like chaps.

Don't you mean "cricket bat?" ;)

Good info. Although most of the users of this BBS are Americans, these jackasses need to be exposed. I hope people spread the word on bad companies and in turn spread the word on the good ones. Spreading the word on outstanding service is the reason we have Pelican Parts.

I guess that also leaves the pitfall of having some jerk with a grudge wrongly badmouth somebody on an open forum.....

Yeah but everyone knows the only way to crack a skull is with the right too and thats a baseball bat :)))

Aledgedly ! I aint never done it and dont advocate doing so and then only in self defence, also hope someone videos you in case !

Secondly true !

howver bad news travels a load faster than good.

example how many times you spoken to a manager about a nice bright friendly checkout girl, as oppposed to ones who's ignored you, broken your eggs and spit in ya salad !

As for false "bad news" that's also a downside.
