    Quite scary how i just gave the number as 707070 and people find them!

    But they have recently been took over by a mainly foreign company A1

    But the Account was indeed Barking College

    Not rocket science is it, with a location on your profile and a phone number.

    What are you going to do next

    Did you ever use this cab firm before, and put it on the college account?

    Imagine that. Some Taxi firms have drivers and owners with criminal convictions. I wonder what would attract such types to a mainly cash business, with a high percentage of activity carried out in the hours of darkness, by people who rarely give out receipts and only have to prove they have a semi-clean driving licence.


    I know its hard to imagine but I guess any business that has cash sales including car sales will have its fair share of dodgy characters
  • Nope i didn't even know that Barking College had an account with this taxi company until the other day..

    Strange

    have you been in touch with the college

    What else are you doing other than witing at home for the "visit"


    Is this for real ?

    I notice the OP does have history of starting posts, not getting a resolution and then not returning

    Yes this is for real, Ive spoken to Barking College today, and they said they will "investigate" and the reason my posts have started but not been resolved is a problem with a certain forum member.

    I live nearby and have been known to use this taxi company. I shall be avoiding them in the future!

    Good luck in resolving your problem.
  • Hey everyone,

    Sorry for the Late Post, I know its 02:56am

    But I wanted to let you all know a update,
    • Police - They are now involved with this matter after hours of persuaded them that my life was at risk, they sent a PCSO to my house, and he basically explained that if they do turn up to call 999 and then give them the crime reference number

    Ive also been told to contact the London PLC taxi complaint number? to put an official complaint in against this taxi company; as advised by the Citizen Advice Bureau, but they didn't have a number to hand so if anyone does please let me know.

    The police said also they are going to try to contact Barking College, to see if they can get a transcript of the mobile phone call that happened or the call that happened from Barking College.

    I will keep updated you guys on progress, but thanks for all the support you've given me over this past week.
