Okay, instead of trying to cover this up with pictures, can the following be explained

What is going to be done about my kit which has had parts stolen?

Yes the car has been sold, but where is the proof that the panels for the doors were ever bought and that the money hasn't been pocketed? I have asked for the receipt/order number/ company they were bought from

Will you justify the hours claimed to have been worked and why there are hidden charges for electricity etc

Do you want to explain to everyone that apparent reason of deposits being non refundable and a terms and conditions policy which apparently is all covered legally, I wouldn't be surprised if this is just drawn up now and posted as currently there is nothing on the site.

Explain why I was lied to about my shell being blasted and why I was lied to about when work would be carried out? Yes I understand work does take longer but what it seems to me is in 7 months not a lot was done and other work was put in front.

An explanation is all I ask for, my points have been out across and ignored.

That's probably because it's a private issue between you & them.

Again Sheridan, I can post this up publicly to warn of what has happened. As far as Paul is now concerned I should only contact him through legal channels so the appropriate action is being taken. It seems like this has hurt Paul and he has contacted you to come online and "defend" him.

Let me explain again, a forum is a place for discussion. There may have been good jobs done but the bad stuff has to be known for other people looking to spend money. Why have a forum if I can not talk about it?

There is no defence here so far, stop ignoring the points and trying to make the "company" out to be better than it is. My parts have been stolen, money has been taken and nothing is being done about it.

Sheridan, awfully nice of you to be taking time out to discuss this on the forum seeing as you are away till next Friday and Paul couldn't contact you till then about the subframe.

This seems like you're on the war-path for a public apology from them from what i'm reading here, and they don't owe you that.  If Paul wants to contact you through legal proceedings then let that happen and pursue him that way, but don't dog their thread, which they post good work in.

Grease Monkey.

For the record, I have had no dealings with these guys, so would consider myself impartial in this matter.

If you are placing a claim against this company in the small claims court, why not leave it there?

You have already cast your opinion on here, so why not leave it there and move on?

Okay, an apology doesn't replace stolen good or replace money. Yes I have cast an opinion however I had to speak out again to correct a few statements people had made. A reply with pictures was made of progress yet something as serious as theft is ignored? Why should I not be warning potential customers of what could happen to them? There is nothing wrong with me mentioning the company is not registered, you may be charged for electricity etc.

 

Also if you are impartial to all of this, where does it say anything about a claim? As that was a discussion between me and Paul?

 

Now if people who are wanting to get work done are okay with theft, being lied to and cheated then go ahead.

Your original post, which you have removed, said you were going to take them to the small claims court, but you deleted that.

Is this no longer the case?

Either way, my advice would be to sort this situation out man to man, putting your emotions to one side. Not easy.

Perhaps report back once you have worked things out. Your situation in dealing with this company does seem to be out of the norm, and as always there are always 2 sides to every story.

Good luck.

Only reason I asked is beacuse it seems some of these posts have come from someone asking them to be posted. My first post was removed as I was blackmailed and part of my payment was withheld until it was removed. 

 

I have tried to work this out man to man, ask for the right thing to be done however I have been cut off. Paul is more than welcome to contact me if he wants to put things right, what I will not let happen is him get away with it and think he can still attract customers from the forum in good faith with what he has done. 

 

Again, I'm posting to let other people know, nothing wrong with me doing this, good and bad can be spoken about a company openly. Reason I have to keep posting is I am asked questions and at one point the original poster of this thread who was my first point of contact in all of this chose to just post pictures instead of an explanation which I found rude. 

 

 

Ok grease monkey, you made your point. Your boring me now.

 

Thank you, very constructive.

Has this not got to be explained ? I for one wouldn't want someone saying things about my business that may or May not be true. Surely the questions above have to be answered ?

Hey Lewis,

Glad to see the pics of the work you guys got on. Any movement on my car...Paul sent a text last week saying the roof panel has arrived and the floor should be in last Monday.

Speak soon
