    On the face of the post your title is a little harsh.

    You've not been robbed.
    And not said anything to indicate you've been scammed...

    So was you told the goods would be of certain material and it turned out to be something else?
    How did it all come about?
    Have you written to them? And what stage are you at?

    Have you contacted trading standards?

    VMs operations are certainly question, have in fact landed him in prison (albeit not the first time) but are certainly a little more sophisticated than robbery

    I'm surprised anyone still doesn't know about him - he's featured on many consumer TV shows, like Watchdog, several times. As I recall he's even quite proud of his "achievements".

    Do you mean the 'Small Claims Court' process?

    PS - do you need to use capital letters for some reason? e.g. poor eyesight?

    Why do people advertise their medical complaints in their user names? Perhaps I should be Bobbybadknees.


    It could just be her surname :D

    Wow.

    And breathe....

    If you are going to flame, rant, SHOUT on a public forum it might help if you spelled the persons name properly as well.

    If you are looking for help and advice, "Please" would not go amiss either.

    I believe the OP names some companies in this thread:

    Total claims:6 Kitchen Units - units do not go together - no refund, rude, aggresive » Oct 2011 01/12/2011 4


    All the info below has been going on since Oct 2011 - Bought kitchen, sales rep all seemed fine etc, delivered all fine,£1000 gone ! when it came to putting it together, units didn't line up, screw holes not matching, screws kept breaking, parts backs etc didn't fit, had marks/scuff, gaping holes and generally just crap ! Phoned sales rep, he came round and agreed it was crap, said call customer services - after dozens of calls, being put on hold, cut off after a 30 / 47 minute on hold !, called / chased/ hounded rep, they ended up sending surveyor round who again agreed said a refund would be sorted, (quoted Sales of goods act, etc at them all) then week later had a call from "Becky" stating that no refund as hadnt had a chance to rectify problem, my only choice was another kitchen ! By this time (late November) I had borrowed money on c'card and brought one from magnet ! Said OK and asked for another to be delivered - delivery came he wouldnt wait and let us check it the delivery driver (think he was from the co.) got the office on the phone straight away (funny that !) they said he couldnt wait ! with that he went ! Not holding my breath - will prob end up flogging kitchen as seconds on ebay to try and get some money back ! £1000 down and counting ;-( 6 weeks+ and couting - AVOID KITCHEN UNITS - KITCHEN UBER - JUST KITCHEN - SIMPLY KITCHENS and the names Martin Sersen / Vance Miller

    Buy cheap..get cheap..what did you expect? solid oak for chipboard prices?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Actually, I've read the post by the OP on another thread that I've posted above and am a bit confused.

    From what I can gather, the OP (after having issues with the first kitchen she ordered from whichever company she used) ordered a kitchen from Magnet and this is presumably now fitted in her house.

    She is still waiting for the kitchen units to replace the first set that were 'crap' - although the company did deliver them but the driver wouldn't wait until they'd checked the order so presumably took them back to the company - and intends to sell them on ebay to recoup some money.

    OP - I really think you need to be much clearer about what happened and what the current situation is than you have been on this thread and in your posts you've made on other threads.

    Also, you need to be clear about what help you need.
