great british mobility

What area of the country does your mother-in-law live in? I live in North Lincolnshire. If she lives within, say, 75-100 miles of me there is a fair chance it is the same salesperson. The salesperson who called at my house is called STEVE CARPENTER.

I would suggest that your mother-in-law calls the Citizens Advice helpline on: 08454 040506 and mention the fact that this company is currently being investigated (with a view to prosecution) for false claims by a sales representative.

Mr. Steven Carpenter pleaded guilty to fraud at S!!!!horpe Magistrates Court on 18 December 2013. He was fined £500, ordered to pay £250 costs and £20 victim surcharge.

they are still at it - they got over £3000 out of my elderly, deaf and infirm parents for a bed that is too low and they cannot use.

Their whole way of conducting business is based on very high charges for goods such as chairs, beds, scooters etc.
for example, chairs of any type, rise and recline with heated seats and backs that have a whole host of functions will not cost the GBM any more than £300.0, the cheaper models that have just a couple of functions cost GBM £190.0.


If you check company house you will see there have been numerous company names the have gone into liquidation under the same umbrella, is the complaints gets too numerous they will fold and start again without even shutting their doors.

they have now gone bust again and another company, Self Sure, part of OLK, is chasing up their customers

Not surprising they went bust, after being featured on Watchdog last year...
