Ok, so it seems i purchased a number plate from this site, from member adam rst.

Mr Adam Harris from dartford kent.

Now, i purchased the plate, never registered it and sold it to another forum member on here (ian cole) ian has gone to transfer over to his focus and dvla have informed him that the plate has been resold by the original seller to a plate dealer.

Basically what has happened is, the original owner, adam harris has been a massive c... And sold the plate on new documents more than once!!

Here is the link From my purchase..bought back in february, sold to ian around a month ago.

I have adams address, should he still live there...but i want to give the chance to resolve this the easy way. I have sent many pms, as has ian, someone must know this guy.

this one?

hope you get it sorted and get your cash back

It's Czech Mate

Report to police asap, it's obtaining funds by deception, if you have a trail then he's fucked and deservedly so.

What an utter wanker he is

Caddyshack

Agree with above totally

What a cunt of a man.

This is the best idea so far

ajamesc

Do you not have proof of ownership or proof of purchase. Contact the dvla. As much as it seems a good idea going down there and having a row will not get your money back

iTrader: (1)

I have contacted the dvla yes, i have proof of purchase etc yes, paid with paypal, have inbox messages etc.

Only found out when i sold the plate to ian, 2 days later i saw the ebay add and thought cheeky git lol, rang ian and informed him his plate was for sale on ebay, he then contacted dvla etc and i have said il sort it all out obviously.

I will call the police tomorrow.

Guessing knowone knows him then...cheers lads

Yeah this one, which that plate company legally (illegally) now own.

2wdsaph ben

If he sold it to you 1st, why don't you own it and not the plate company? He's been a big poster on here so surely people must know him

dojj

iTrader: (3)

why don't you simply call the company in question and ask them why they are advertising a plate that legally belongs to you?

as this is them breaking the law?

i'm sure they can afford better lawyers than you so let them deal with adam

Focosmitch

iTrader: (1)

Because legally he now owns the plate. Both myself and ian have spoken with plate company and dvla.

Basically he has sold me the plate, sent papers, rang dvla and asked for dupliacte paperwork, which is sent out on new numbers..making my paperwork redundant and worthless.

In an ideal world i should have transfered the plate straight away, but i was in build process and not taxed or motd.

The plate company have told me they purchased from adam harris in last 2 months!!!

That's probably what I would do. If you've got the documents then I'm sure they will have to help you out. They may be better equipped to deal with it.

Edit: just read your last post. Police/court then as advised above. I'd still go round and punch him though. Fucking bellend.

Hope you get this sorted mate.

Focosmitch

iTrader: (1)

Thats just it.....it legally belongs to him now. But illegally lol.

smiley

You not knocking his door then mitch?

visa_broke

Sounds like the guy was selling up loads from the threads on here, have you messaged him on his ebay etc (another form to try contact him)

Guys a fucking bellend then to put it politely

Focosmitch

iTrader: (1)

Its not his ebay is it its the plate companies...

RichieST

iTrader: (2)

What a shitbag. Hope you get it resolved!

shaun_focus4x4

He definitely needs a right hook

STeve

iTrader: (11)

you definately have a legal case as surely this is obtaining money by deception, you must inform police and get legal ball rolling and progress from there, not that it helps you a great deal but he has now been removed from this site.

how did you purchase plate-bank transfer,p/pal etc?

ajamesc

Best to get the police involved but I bet there say there's nothing they can do its a civil matter. Your no doubt end up having to take him to court. Guy sounds a right cunt for doing it. One things for sure you go round there and smack him your end up with nothing other than a record and a fine

Fullflush

It's a criminal matter!

ajamesc

You would think so your have to see what they say it will be his word against there's

dojj

iTrader: (3)

Don't get the dvla involved from the get go, they honestly don't know their arse from their elbow when things get complicated like this

You've paid for an item

You've received said item

You own said item, with proof of payment and purchase

And now you find said item which is your property, for sale being sold by someone else

That is what you need to explain to plod and then take it from there

Matters of retention and the like are the next step once you've provided evidence that you are the legal owner

stu20004x4

i used to live in Dartford, il have an ask about, see if i can trace him

Fullflush

He has more than verbal evidence - please contact the Police ASAP. Who knows how many others you may save from being ripped off
