  • Nice work Gossi. The Registered office for D by D could prove useful.

    Ill add my police ref number (CAB number) 2678/28.12

    The Natwest account for Rentmac that I paid into (I dont have the name of this account, it may be Diamonds by Design or Rentmeanycar)
    ACC:3 9 1 2 7 7 5 3
    SORT CODE 5 4 - 3 0 - 3 6


    Different 'employee' names we have are: Anthony Stevens (director?), Lee Stevens (director?), Simon Tate (CSR), Derek (CSR), Jenny (CSR), Andrew Ryan (CSM).

    The main company registration in charge of this is RentMeAnyCar.com Ltd

    Registered No 07421608
    Incorporated 28 Oct 2010
    Registered Office 2ND, FLOOR BEREKELEY SQUARE HOUSE, LONDON, W1J 6BD

    So far all the financing appears to be through Diamonds By Design Ltd.

    Registered No 07407417
    Incorporated 14 Oct 2010
    Registered Office 154 Eastern Road, Brighton, East Sussex BN2 0AE

    Other updates...
    I have a phone message from Mark Finney who is dealing with Rentmac complaints at The Guardian. He called me back after I left a message to say that he will be back in the office Tuesday and can provide us with updates then. Sounded on-board and helpful. Call 02033532000 (Guardian switch)


    I spoke again with the police this morning to check that they are collating all of our complaints regarding Rentmac under one investigation. We will retain individual cases but they are looking at it as a whole I'm told but the fellow I was speaking to was really just a desk jockey and I'm not sure how seriously they are taking it at the moment. I think its going to take a push from the banks and The Guardian to get someone at the Met to see its a real fraud and not some disgruntled customers.

    Added info for Diamonds By Design Ltd above.
  • I hadn't thought of informing HMRC, might be good to see if we can get them investigating as well.

    I'm happy to report to HMRC via the Tax evasion Hotline using the collated info we have so far.
    Does anyone have anything to add before I do?

    Okay, more info. Got the complete paperwork for Diamonds By Design Ltd. It's owned "MIRZA, MUBASSAR AHMED MR"

    Great stuff. Gossi, will you be passing this on to the police, bank, Guardian etc?
  • I have further update on account details/crime reference number etc:

    HSBC Account details were:

    DBD Ltd
    Sort code: 40 43 26
    Account details: 21866117

    Crime reference No: 2732801/10
    Contact No: 0208 345 3931

    I have also received good support from The Guardian and hope that the FT and others join the cause.

    Cheers Freesoho and sussex1. I've added the bank details to my post up thread.
  • Likewise Freesoho and gossi.
  • Syko, do you still have the above number as I was supplied previously with a mobile number, it would be good for me to try and establish if they are the same and try amd make contact.

    Many thanks

    I mistyped the director of Diamonds by Design Ltd's name slightly - it's Mubassar Ahmed Mirza
