    FCR group just says webportals.

    So possibly just the company that created the website and not the actual people the OP is moaning about?

    Has the OP sold a car for pennies to them and seen it up for sale at 10x the price i wonder?

    John who is behind these websites and mans the mobile number associated with these websites & does the collection, took my car and then refused to pay the scrap value. When I followed up for payment he advised me to suck his balls. John is of Irish traveller stock. I suspect he is not HMRC registered as a previously contributor suggested.

    So why didn't you say that in your OP? You'd have had much more postive contributions and advice if you'd done that.

    Nothing. He's gone with my car and refused payment. Only a £150 but its the principal of the matter. Its not like there's a business address or anything to follow up with. Probably not a good idea to start searching out west london halting sites!! All I could do is put the word out, hence my post.
