Fell right into the trap last October and ordered two LHD VW Passats from
LHD Car Company.Paid £5.8k in deposits,heard nothing for 5 weeks.Then e-mail requested the balances as delivery was imminent.All too quick and good to be true.A Google search told me all I needed,my heart sank!Rang Richard Loach the next day and told him that I could only carry on with the deal if he'd accept a banker's draft on delivery.'No,those aren't the terms,' he said,'you'll have to cancel otherwise'.He then attempted the sweet talk but I cut him short and cancelled the next day by recorded delivery and requested the return of my deposit.After 3 further recorded letters,no response.I was on the verge of County Court Action and had written to 'Watchdog'and the Daily Mirror's 'Penman & Greenwood Investigate',when Michael Greenwood of the latter rang me at work.'I've just spoken to a Richard Loach and there is a cheque in the post'.I was ecstatic and the cheque cleared yesterday!I've got the bulk of it all back except the cancellation fees and was tempted to pursue Loach through the Small Claims Court for the rest.My wife says,'No.We've learned a hard lesson,let it pass,move on.'As always she's right.I've had a very lucky escape.Nottingham Trading Standards and the Office of Fair Trading have also contacted me for full details,so the net is closing. How are they getting away with it? I'm no lawyer but the whole Micronet scam is clearly a conspiracy to defraud and their employees must know what's going on and are happy to collude in it! I won't hear a word said against the press,sometimes I think they are the only protection we have in thi country against crooks,politicians and pompous bureacrats. |
