    I very rarely comment on the grammar, spelling, or punctuation in other contributor's posts. But this was rather a special case. It is a stream of consciousness that I was unable to make sense of. The poster has decided anyone reading it can work out for themselves what the message is, and which words fit in which clause.

  • Well where can I start about fowlers finance. I got a email stating that I could get finance from these so I rang them and went through some details. They said I needed to send in mine and my partners bank statements via iPhone so I did that then they said they wanted mine and my partners driving licences so I did. And then he emailed me saying we need ALL of your bank statements from ALL of your accounts so like a gullible person I sent them thinking this was normal. And then got a email saying he wanted pictures of all of mine and my partners bank cards front and back which i smelt a rat and sent a email back saying that I've never seen them and I think it's wrong what I'm sending and I would like to stop the application which is reply was ok. Am I in danger of being scammed can somebody please reply and reassure me please.

    Definitely dodgy. My instinct would be to run a mile if a potential lender wanted all that.

    Hi, I'm not sure if anyone will see this but I've had problems very recently having brought a car from fowlers in Walsall and basically had nothing but problems with it. I'm just wondering if you had sorted out everything with your car? Or got in touch with consumer people etc. Thanks 😊
  • Hi yes under the faulty goods act the cR finance company hve finally agreed to have car back with no lilabiltys on my part nor will it go Agsist my name it been nothing but stress fowlers should be shut down why on earth they are being able to get away with things I mean they have ccjs against them etc . Phone the fincancail obmunbusd because fowlers will just fob u off etc x

    their owners don't care, search for a company called Lloyds and lee IVA, fowlers taxi finance
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    After purchasing a car from fowlers in May it developed engine problems to the point we had to stop using it 32 days later. Not what you expect from a vauxhall astra 07 plate with only 38000 mile on clock.
    I contacted fowlers straight away to which it took them 14 days to agree for it to be taken to a garage recommended by them for a diagnostics.
    Garage find big faults and £1000 of work that needs to be done. Fowlers took a further 7 days tnot to agree for work to be carried out but to offer me a replacement car.
    I await a further 7 days just for a phone call to say they can offer me a like for like replacement and they gave me a reg.
    I checked this reg with many websites including WHICH AND DVLA,
    Their was no such car registered with this reg so I phoned DVLA who confirmed this and in fact the reg was for sale at £350.
    Another lie from fowlers and the stick of a rat.
    All this whilst the car finance company are still expecting me to pay for a car I can't use.
    After a long phone call trading standards and the financial ombudsman I'm now awaiting an answer to proceed further with fowlers.
    Worst still the car finance company still want me to make payments for something I can't use (to which I'm not going to)
    My proposals to financial ombudsman. My finance frozen, my car tax refunded, money from px refunded and insurance payments refunded as compensation.
    I await the out come.

    I'm intrigued. What is 'the stick of a rat'?
