proffesionals, proffesional fraudsters!

6 months ago I purchased a car from a company called LHD Car Company in
Nottingham http://www.lhdcarcompany.com, owned by the Loach brothers. I
have only just recently found out that they used to be called Micronet
Showroom and I am having nothing but trouble with them, nothing but lies
and excuses comes from their mouths, the car should have been here in
September, but I am still waiting, even though I've paid them the final
amount in full!

I just wish that I had come across this website earlier and avoided the
mistake of logging onto their website.

The article that was mentioned from the OFT has been pasted below for all
to see:




Internet car dealers give undertakings to the OFT

142/06 4 October 2006

Following action by the OFT and Nottingham City Trading Standards Service,
Micronet Showroom, a Nottingham based business which acts as a motor
vehicle import agent, has agreed to be more open and fair in dealing with
customers.

All of Micronet Showroom's operations are carried out over the internet,
including the sourcing, purchasing and importing of vehicles from Europe.

Although Micronet Showroom is presently not trading, the OFT has secured
undertakings from David and Richard Loach, who run this business, in order
to regulate their future conduct.

Consumers complained to Nottingham City Trading Standards that they had
ordered cars from the company, paid for them in full and were then told
that delivery would be later than previously indicated and/or the price of
the vehicle had increased. Customers also complained they were subjected to
long delays for delivery and many cancelled their orders. However, those
that did so said that they had difficulty in obtaining a full refund.

The Loach brothers have both signed undertakings promising to reimburse
any sum paid by, or on behalf of consumers, within thirty days of the
cancellation of the contract and provide consumers with clear information,
as specified under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations
2000. They have also agreed not to publish or disseminate misleading
advertising, as specified under the Control of Misleading Advertising
Regulations 1998.

These undertakings, which have been given without any admission of
liability, apply to any businesses carried out by either of the Loach
brothers now or in the future.

Christine Wade, Assistant Chief Executive, Consumer Advice and Trading
Standards, said:

'Customers should be able to rely on any business to provide accurate
information and provide an agreed product or a full refund on time. The
OFT will closely monitor the undertakings which have been signed, and will
if necessary take court action if these undertakings are breached.'

NOTES

1. If formal undertakings are not complied with the OFT can ask the Court
to formalise them. If they are subsequently breached the offender/s may be
held in contempt of court and may be imprisoned, fined or have their assets
seized.

2. The Enterprise Act 2002 came into force on 20 June 2003, replacing the
consumer provisions of the Fair Trading Act and the Stop Now Regulations.

3. The Enterprise Act improves consumer protection by giving enforcers
strengthened powers to obtain court orders against traders that breach a
range of consumer legislation; controlling activities such as misleading
advertising, misleading price indications, lotteries, sale of goods and
services, underage sales, estate agency, misleading health claims, trade
descriptions, mock auctions, timeshare, unfair terms in consumer
contracts, doorstep selling, distance selling, package travel and consumer
credit.

4. The Control of Misleading Advertisements Regulations 1988 came into
force on 20 June 1988 implementing an EC Directive on misleading
advertising. The regulations aim to protect the interests of consumers and
businesses from misleading advertising or advertisements that make
prohibited comparisons.

5. Advertisement means any form of representation that is made in
connection with a trade, business, craft or profession in order to promote
the supply or transfer of goods or services, immovable property, rights or
obligations.

6. The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, came into
force on 31 October 2000. These Regulations gave new rights to consumers
in the area of home shopping where transactions take place with no face to
face contact, such as online sales, mail order and telesales. Under these
Regulations consumers have specific rights including rights to: clear
information, a seven-day cooling off period and further protection against
fraudulent use of a credit card.

7. The Regulations apply to almost all types of distance shopping but
there are exceptions: business to business contracts, certain financial
services, sales concluded at an auction, contracts for the sale of land,
and sales by vending machine. Some parts of the regulations do not apply
to: deliveries of food and beverages for everyday consumption, or to
contracts for transport, accommodation, catering or leisure services where
these are provided on specific dates or within specified periods, or to
timeshare and package holidays, or to contracts made in the course of FSMA
regulated business.
