I too was sucked in by the impressive website, and low prices. I ordered a
new Golf GTi back in February, and was told of a 20 week wait, so opt'd to have the car on Sept 1st for the 55 plate. I paid only my £500 deposit. Mid may I received a letter stating the car had arrived, and would be ready for collection May 27, i rang the offices and they confirmed it was in fact with the supplier and would be with Micronet the next day, so I should pay the balance, like a fool I did. Next day, I was advised of a slight delay and the car would arrive shortly. To cut a long story short It still hasn't arrived. After inumerate phone calls, e-mails registered letters. I have just got my money back, and the cheque cleared !!!! Mr loach did in fact refund my deposit, before the full balance, for whatever reason, i'm still not sure. Thanks you who ever advised pay the man a visit, will give rewards, cos thats exactly what i did. I sent a letter indicating my intent of seeking legal advice, and turned up at his office [ i only live twenty mins away] I called him from the car park, and walked in whilst on the phone to him. Got my cheque there and then , and now the nightmare is over for me, 8 weeks he had £22,500 of my money, nice little earner !!!! Can some one tell me what the e-mail is for the lady @ the ITV |

Paid them in full 10 days before and whoa ,there is a delay.Now been waiting 17 weeks and only just found out about them being banned from being company directors till 2013! David has offered to pay me back about 18k, but after this I want the car which is supposed to be at harwich or all money back. Liked the way you got your money back m8 Gonna try that myself. Only thing is I live 2-3 hrs away in cumbria so its along way to nottingham We`ll see what happens Thx Longy |

Your story is typical of the way in which the scam operates, your can is unlikely to have actually been ordered - ask them for a VIN number which you can check with the manufacturer - it won't be available because the car is not at Harwich it hasn't even been ordered yet.

My advice to you would pay the man a visit. His offices are a small unit on
an industrial unit just out of town. There is no frills to this place, very sparsely furnished in fact, and they could be gone in under an hour, and you'd never know they were there. I know its a bit of a trek to get to him, but he can fob you off all day on the phone & by e-mail,he did me !!!!! Face to face he seems to back down. With everything that is going on [court cases/ tv appearnces] , sooner rather than later seems the best plan of action regards a visit. When I visited, there were in fact several brand new, unregisterd nissan 350z, and audi TT's , parked up against the building. Which incidentally, has ZERO security, so once they go home at night the cars are left unattended. I wish all the luck in the world, cos i know hoe i felt from the time i found out about there antics, and history. GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!! |
