Race Passion

Update - Race Passion were sent a recorded delivery letter 2 weeks ago asking them to formally respond by today to my request to give me my money back or pay for the faults to be rectified. My address is on that letter and i have not had a response. In total i have sent three recorded delivery letters to Race Passion over the last 5 months none of them have been responded to and all have clearly had my address.

Update - Race Passion have in the last couple of weeks been summoned by the Scottish court to either pay £3,000 with interest by the 12th November 2010 or appear in court on 26/11/10

£3,000 is the maximum claim that can be made by the small claims court, it wont cover all that needs done but will go some way to make safe some of the problems.

If Race Passion pay this money by the 12th November i will be back to let you all know, if they refuse i will be back online after the 26th to let you know the outcome of the court case.

I'd like to publicly thank the people who have recently come forward to myself and Trading standards with evidence to assist me in this case. I'd also like to thank all the members of MSE for taking part in the thread.

Preliminary hearing done, only another 5 or 6 to go, its a long process, likely middle of next year before its resolved. Will keep you all posted.

I paid Mr Paul Lloyd £500 to build my van in January 2011. Then £10000 to buy a van and deposit on a £22000 conversion in November 2010.
He said he was going to build it in Dec 2010 he didn't came up with a load of excuses. He then said revert back to original build date Jan 2011. We agreed a price and design on the 5th January 2011 he said he was starting the build the next week. Two weeks later I find out he's not going to start it untill February 2011.
After a heated discussion I sent him an email out lining the only basis I was prepared to continue and if he didn't agree then I wanted a full refund. He would not give me this in writing so another bust upwith him on the phone. He would not give me a full refund but said he would build a race van and once sold would pay me everything back. I have this in an email of the 25th Jan 2011. Upto date this has not happened to the best of knowledge as he wont answer my two recorded delivery letters.
Once he had my money he would not answer phone calls or emails and the only way I could get a responce was to threaten him with Trading Standards and Court action.
He sent an email to me on the 2nd April 2011 saying we cancelled the van when he told us the van he bought he was not happy with, but didn't say when this was. If he had said this what was he going to use in Dec, January and finally to build the race van to sell. He also stated in this email once the van was sold that he would only give us a percentage of our money back. Yet in an email on the 25th January 2011 he said full refund.
Anyone thinking of having a van conversion PLEASEEEEE !!!!!!!!! DONT GO WITH IN A MILLION MILES OF MR PAUL LLOYD AND RACE PASSION.
We are now looking at taking him to Court but this will have to go to Crown Court because of the amount and can cost a lot of money.
I know of Liz Morton and another person who is also taking legal advice.

I have a thread on mse about this company.
