Well known enough for there to have been two programmes on ITV about this, and a couple of appearances on Watchdog.

Absolute scam, although not strictly illegal.

If the misses has no joy with them Tom then i am going to phone them and give them a right ear full of abuse theifing wankers


mike

If they were so confident then take 70 pound after it's sold not before i feel sorry for my misses as she is all upset about spending 70 pound on this when she thought it was in all innocence and coming up to christmas it's not like we want to throw money away either

If you were serious about buying a car where would you look?

Autotrader
Ebay
owners clubs
Specialist mags


certanly not some company that has to phone up to get customers.

If you've never heard of them, it's unlikely anyone else has.

Sorry mate, your money's gone.

I had this problem aswell.

With me it was a company called cardata.

They always rung my mobile, never my home phone!!

I was getting up to five calls a day so in the end i said "hold on i will just get my credit card" i then put my phone in the drawer and walked away.

She held on for 5 minutes before she worked out i wasnt coming back!! lol

Thats the only way to get your own back on the f*ckers!!, absolute scammers!!

At least i added a bit to their phone bill!!!!

You can stop these companies from ringing you by registering somewhere, I'll try and find the link.

Both my sons had constant calls about cars they were selling , then after registering NO CALLS at all. Companies get fined for each call they make if you are on the list.

We had a company call up and they can be really really pushy and aggresive. When I told the guy I wasn't interested he got all shirty and said "Well do you want to sell your car or not?" I told the prick to fuck off. Mate got screwed when he was selling his Scoob earlier this year but they done him for Ł90. Once they have your cash you will hear nothing from them again and have no hope of getting any money back
