tDR Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Guys it looks like my contact with Kenny hasn't made any difference and I'm genuinely embarrassed (about the best word I can think of for it) and any updates I've passed on have ended up making me look a right numpty with nothing then appearing to happen. I can only also apologise for what has dragged on and say I hope you all get your money back and of course as a result of the above I also think you're quite right to claim it back through any legit means you can. Let's not get silly with cloaked threats of violence however. I still believe Kenny has suffered a loss and hasn't been quite right since - I don't think it's just my pride that makes me believe so, though I do think I usually have a good read on people that of course could be at risk of failing me Brian.

adam1983 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Brian I appreciate what your saying but if you look on the links that Jamie posted up from eBay and the other sites you will see similar bad things said about parts not being sent. All with various excuses. This sort of practice seems to have been going on for some time by the dates from the feedback left on there. As for what you say about 'cloaked threats' I think it is right that he is confronted about this situation. He has a lot to answer for and claiming the money back through the correct channels doesn't seem to be an option for everyone on here. If the bank won't refund the money where do you go from there? Some people are owed over 1k and dont seem able to claim the money back from their banks. I can't see them being happy to walk away from this empty handed. I'm hoping it can all be sorted without getting out of hand. It's not fair on the members who put their trust in him. Not a nice way to repay that trust really. Not having a go at you though Brian but I'm sure you would be straight over there yourself if you were owed large sums of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davep Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Brian I'm owed neally 4k in parts and I feel very angry and I have asked the bank to retrieve my money with no luck I think it only fair that a person that rips people of gets there just rewards I have been very patient and tryed to be understanding but there is only so much people can take All I want is either my parts or money as the last thing I want to do is have a 5 hr van ride and cost me even more money in fuel And especially my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people do nothing then he gets away with it again. If your willing to wait until march to go up then I will happily go along with you to give you hand collecting parts.

Robzki Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Does any of the mods know how Ken managed to put all this up for sale with so very little posts. I think maybe there needs to be something in place as in maybe a post count or something before people can post in the for sale thread, just to stop low life thieves this this from robbing a very friendly and warming community such as this. This is a great idea and was thinking the same myself, but, Adam1983 and DaveP are a good case in point they have collectively been here for around 8 1/2 years but only have sub 500 posts between them. They do have 100% feedback though. It would have to be on either a time on the forum basis or everyone is voted on as the traders are. Some people can make 200 great quality posts over a long period and gain respect from the forum, others can get to 10000 in a matter of a year. If members were voted on then the existing members would only have themselves to blame. All this being said this is a rare situation and the dispute section is a fairly quiet place. Feel really bad for all that have lost money with all this, good luck. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is how many posts would you have to make ? If you come on here with the intention of ripping members off then 100 posts would be easily done or 200 or 300, just look at Josh I agree its a good idea but your always going to be open to this kind of thing on the internet.

Scott Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was having a little think about what sort of thing could be put in place to help protect members from such a fleecing and the only thing I could think of was to limit the value that new members could sell? Say capping it at £100 for the first 10 sales or something, as long as positive feedback was received for all 10 sales then the limit could be lifted. Those 10 sales could also be coupled in with a 6 month minimum membership limit. Of course there are ways around just about every one of these limitations, the only way I can truely see it being 100% safe is if the club held the money during a sale.

Apologies for the delay but some very extreme circumstanses have occured and no one is being fleeced or ripped off.

Guest kenblockseal Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Im on the case now to sort this out for Kenny who never meant for this to happen. And to the guy digging up TWO bad reviews from the internet from MY company that i run Ive sold over two thousand cars mate so two bad reviews doesnt make me a rip off Would you still say that if there was 1900 good reviews about my company ? No one ever writes the good stuff only their bad experiences and i think my ratio is pretty damn good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
