The people you bought this off are clearly a bunch of chancers, knowing what you now do if you read back his replies its does sound like he is conning you and making a nice profit.

Worst thing is its giving us Scots a bad name, such a shame you have to deal with people like this on a good forum like PF.

This should be taken to court IMO. You will win against him with your evidence. The box was sold as working and tested, which its not.

Leo looks like he is uninterested in paying more. £200 to resolve the issue is a joke, with the amount the bill is for it to be repaired to the advertised state.

Reason there's been no reply is that I don't own a ford and cars are last thing on my mind at the min!

You have not tried to call me I don't have your number as I have a new phone but you haven't even sent a text! You would rather post it on a forum and kick up a fuss about me not replying instead off picking up the phone!

I have replied to your mail

I have replied to your mail
Iain told me to call on the number he supplied it rang but no answer somyou calling him a liar? I emailed you on here you read it yet no reply for a day till I write on here?

Tbh you think I wanna be chasing you for money for a fucked box you said was fully working but is not, your the last thing I wanna be doing I have a business to run and family. seen as your not reasonable enough to refund and take it back I've had to get it repaired so it's costing me 500 in repairs and 300 in costs so far and you think 200 is reasonable for a box and I quote Peter says "is not worth near 1k in its current condition" like I said any reasonable person would pay the full repairs but it seems you don't wanna.ive offered several times to put this to bed give me the 300 it's cost so far and I'll have to stump the 500, but younthinkmim being unreasonable to ask that because you "lowered he advert price" that's a cop out I'm being MORE than reasonable chris.

Like I said just pay me 300 then it's done even then I'm way out of pocket then I'm out of your way so you can carry on with your more important things.

What a piss take, £300 is small fry in comparison to what's actually happened here. You'd have thought he'd just give you £300 ASAP so he can sleep easy and forget about it. Trouble is some people don't have a conscience these days!

So I agree to accept 250 even tho it costs me 500+fuel +labour on fitting removal...

Guess what he still not paid up... Chris stop bumming around and pay me the money you owe me it's been nearly 6 months its a joke... You told me you've been doing work and that and would have the money to me the end of October I've been more than patient...

Looks like you owe a guy from the USA some parts too as he has pmd me too be a man and sort it out...

Hope you make some headway with this mate, sounds like a proper clown.
It's hard to guard against this sort of thing unless they make it harder for people to sell things on this site by increasing the fee or having a minimum post count/membership period, but then that spoils it for the non-dicks.

Thing is that he can't even make contact with myself uses his mate to speak grow a set of balls call me and at least explain why the payments late or at least explain instead he just ignores, of course his problems are bigger than skanking several people it seems...

honestly just get as much money back as you can from selling the box or the parts and move on else it will just go on forever, its not worth looseing any sleep over.
i had the same thing happen with my supra bought it assured it was rebuilt well by jdm garage and it was a thrown together failed engine that did 2500 miles and knocked bottom end out to junk ! I lost about £3k breaking it.
the only thing to learn from when this happens is never use the seller again and either in my case check and test better and for parts that are untestable only buy from a trader who you can return to with problems.

He has promised payment, small claims court and he gets stuck with the costs too, you cant lose , I bet he pays up before the court date.

its complicated but i have a receipt from jdm garage for head rebuild, assemble and fit back in car. bottom end was "apparantly" farmed out for rebuild which is very convienient considering it was junk.

im long over it though i couldnt give a shit anymore, i trusted him and i shouldnt have done live and learn and all that, i got 3 skylines in place of it now

Seller is obviously a jebend, you aren't going to get anything from him as he has no intention of paying you, as others have said learn from it or go legal and move on.

look adam all i can do is appoligise, but dont come here giving me the big talk, iv spoke with iain tonight and he said uv been on his case, he said hes going to send you the money i put aside for you, as for the rest i dont know when im going to have it but i said i will get it to you and i will, fair enough your saying your skint and you need it but our ideas off being skint must be far apart, iv got a 4 year old kid with christmas around the corner living on brew money.

As said all i can do is appoligise for time iv took, but its all i can do

CheeRS
Chris its not about being the big man at all you said you would have it paid by the end of OCT its now nearly december , now your saying you have have a kid to buy presents for? thats cool BUT thats no my problem thats yours.... i agreed to take the £250 so this was SORTED not dragged out for another 6 months... you told me and iain told me youve done work so like i said your priorities should be to pay me back reguardless this has been dragging on 6 months!

Even then you dont contact even if you paid £20 a week would be better than making zero contact and communicating through iain, any normal bloke would have AT THE VERY LEAST keep the person they owe the money too in the know whats going on....

like i said i need the money i'm out of pocket,,i have presents to buy too you know ... sort it asap chris its not a big sum compared to what i HAVE lost on this!

It always amazes me when people get caught out by xmas and cant manage their money, I find it fairly easy to predict when xmas is coming up, normally tends to be the tail end of december, around the 25th or so.

Thanks Chip didnt know that .
Must admit for £250 I would move on aint worth the stress. We all get stiched up sometimes its part of life. Dont bother with small claims not as easy to win as suggested, been there done that with a similar crook.

What a fucking joke...

He's lucky if he gets off with repaying £250, he should be throwing that at you. This reeks, I hope you can get him to court.

It's that kind of attitude that lets crooks and scumbags get away with things when people think that way. Less stressful or not, wrong is wrong and should face up to consequences.
