Please don't bring me into this. I've been very quiet on the subject because I messaged Mike a month ago saying I think you need to reply to this guy, to which he ignored me. So we haven't spoke since and I don't appreciate you bringing me into your personal vendetta against him.
The only ones with a vendetta were you and Mike. You were the ones that started the insults/abuse. Simply because you both didn't like the fact I was the one that finally spoke up about his taking the absolute piss with his commercial postings, in breach of the rules and treating the place like his own private market place free of any competition. Remember this all only started in the first place when I mentioned that a work colleague had had a job done at a proper BMW Specialist cheaper than Mike was charging, he didn't like that and it highlighted something I and lots of others were thinking. The fact his prices were in most cases on a par if not more expensive that a lot of specialists, never mind a local garage. That was back when he worked from home,so god knows what he charges now he's actually got premises.
My post that references your post earlier in this thread only served to be another slap in the face to Beedub, I know that wasn't your intention but that was the net result. All it served to do was to prove Mike wasn't interested in a previous customer with a issue, he already had his money. Despite everything Jamie I've got no vendetta/axe to grind so lets just let bygones be bygones. I do realize everything that went on you were just trying to defend/be loyal to a mate. Im pretty sure if it had been Marius not Mike you'd of actually been backing me up!
Anyway lets leave that there as this is about Beedub and particularly Rocket who is massively out of pocket. As you've pointed out Jamie, Mikes gone radio silent on him despite the fact he was still posting of his commercial facebook page long after taking his money. Bearing that in mind and his previous treatment of Beebub they're really is no excuses.
Rocket have you had any joy getting your money back? Or any communication from Mike? It must be three months or so now since this started for you.
Not received anything, not heard anything. Last thing I did was send a second letter which I also sent as an email. I will wait until the new year and then continue with the advice I am receiving. This is a step by step procedure which can end up in court and maybe the court collecting the money. Not sure about recovering costs or compensation as I have not got that far yet.
Have you had any more luck with this Rocket? DLV seems to be active on the forum late December

No, not heard a thing. My final letter before court action goes out tommorow.

I'm surprised really that this forum allows thieves to advertise their 'services' or business tbh.
Sad state of affairs, hope you get your money back Rocket.

That’s a real shame and disappointing you’ve had to resort to the courts but I hope you get all your money back soon!
I’m surprised people still recommend him on here when he treats customers with such contempt

Time to lock this thread. This isn’t helping anyone.

I disagree, that's no doubt exactly what DLV wants. As a reasonably active thread this continues to serve as an ongoing warning to anyone considering using him, especially if that involves handing over any money up front. At the moment plenty of us want to see what happens and the Rocket situation resolved. Unfortunately Beebub's missing parts looks like a lost cause.
I suspect DLV is doing all this on purpose and spitefully because Rocket and Beebub had the audacity to post negative comments about him, we all know he reacts badly and aggressively to that. Pathetic and hypocritical in the extreme considering his past rants on here. Thick skinned he certainly isn't. He probably sees it as his way of getting back at Rocket and Beebub for damaging him and will probably only repay Rocket at the last possible minute as bailiffs get involved, visit his premises and start taking his tools and equipment away.

I don’t know him but the locking of the thread will NOT stop people seeing the evidence in the thread in the future and will warn off future customers.
However locking the thread WILL stop these continuous and repetitive complaints. The forum doesn’t need it and if a future customer has read it once they won’t need to read it again and again. He’s done wrong. We can all see that. Let’s lock it now.

I do not know Mike, but I considered using him as his reputation on this forum was good. Then I read a negative comment, and thought well it could be one disgruntled customer, then another and another. Mike was given the 'right to reply' but refused it and his 'silence' is more than worrying. People need to know that time after time Mike could have responded in a proper businesslike way, but did not. I feel that 'sp3ctre' needs to get Mike's point of view and make a decision based on his response , or lack of it. This needs to be managed as it reflects on the forum, regardless of any rules.

A locked thread WILL quickly disappear down the list of threads in this section and therefore WILL NOT be obvious to serve as a warning. At the end of the day no one makes anyone read anything on here, its not compulsory viewing, people choose to click on it and once they've clicked on it they dont have to read all of it. If others also have a grievance against DLV why shouldn't they add it to the thread? Better they add it here than start a new thread about it.
Anyway at this point the thread has evolved and is about a current and on going situation. Namely if Rocket gets his money back or not, something I and others are interested to see, so it makes sense the thread should run at least long enough for that to reach a conclusion.

It's a total joke isn't it. DLV... stand up... be a man. All this over a backbox. Unbelievable.
@Rocket, if it helps I'm more than happy to stand you for the money owed, I'd hope though that through scc you should retrieve it from this cowboy but if time is of any issue let me know. If he shafts you then honestly no worries, I've learnt enough over the years off this forum to have saved me that money.
My first thought was that this thread should be deleted not locked (so as not to advertise his 'sevices'), but the discussion above merits thought about the best way to warn people about certain businesses. I know it can put a forum into tricky situations when it comes to libellous content, but to (my non lawyer brain) I don't see an issue here, they would, at the very minimum, have to prove factual incorrectness.

I agree with Tomk lock it/delete it.
Mack if it does dissapear then no one will know he has a service, on here! But senseless to keep on bleating on about it now and repeating the facts for your own gratification against DLV.
He is still doing business as Monster on the “what have you done to your car” thread went there recently. I’m not going to keep on repeating and adding to this toxic thread. My thoughts have been made clear. All the best
