I paid ?35 for a 1.2i K&N from FINLAY (real name ELLIOT FINLAY) about 2 and half months ago.

I eventually got the filter...but guess what...its for a 1.2 when i was ASSURED it was for a 1.2i.

Obvisously i wasn't a happy bunny so i asked for my money back...and guess what FINLAY is away but some other muppet is 'looking after his things for him'. So, this other guy promises (after posting on here) that he would (infact HAD) posted me a cheque to refund the K&N...well that was about 3 weeks ago.

Hmmmm, i spot a pattern happening here...

After posting on here recently i have found out phat loads of other people have had trouble with this tw*t, for example - Linz TDI nad MACCA SXI have approached me, and someone else has informed me of others.
I STRONGLY ADVISE NO1 TO BUY OR SELL ANYTHING TO THIS D*CK AND FINLAY IF YOU'RE READING THIS YOU BETTER SORT IT OUT NOW!

LOSERS!!!

Finlay or Mark or whoever u r...sort it out once and for all.

Last time he was named and shamed (by linz) he came on here to try and sort it out, what you have done is good because now people know not to have dealings with him, well done :D

Be prepared to have yourself banned for your stupid way of going about this. There is no need for 10 odd posts all in a row it clogs the boards up and is not needed, one post would be enough........

Sorry Linz. I meant Flairing Nova who took it upon himself to post this exact topic in every section of the forum. :roll:

i know that was a bit OTT

i think this finlay dude should be banned from using the forsale forums and i am being serious here when i bought all this up over the grill there were many others who said they had had bad dealings with him. and i still lost out in the end

You can post in forsale as a guest though. If you banned him he could still post

banning a username, email address or ip address makes no difference as you can still access the site and use it as a guest for trading parts etc.

if someone is going to use the site for trading, it is at their own risk and novaload cannot be held responsible for it - make sure you keep their name, address, telephone number and printed copies of any messages relating to the deal you have done with them. If you send any money and dot get your stuff either go to the address where the money was sent and try to get it back, or you could consider contacting the police. Payment by cheque sent via recorded delivery is the best idea as this means they have to sign at the address to recieve the cheque, and when the cheque has been cashed you have a record of it being cashed by your bank.

Plan ahead and you will usually find that most of these problems can be avoided or resolved quickly. Naming and shaming is all good and well but it doesnt really make any difference - liamp is one user who has been named several times as being a problematic seller on the site and still people continue to buy from him. Just be more careful what you buy, make sure both of you know what is expected from the deal before anything is sent in way of goods or payment.

The buyer should send an email stating what they are wanting to buy, copy and paste from the ad is often a good idea, and detail in this email what payment method will be used and by what time you expect to recieve your goods. Print two copies of this email, one for yourself and one to send with the payment. Also, ask for a reply from the seller detailing what you will get for your payment, approving the payment method you have stated and agreeing to the expected time of arrival of the goods. Print two copies of this email, one for yourself and one to send with the payment and your email. This will prevent any confusion on the behalf of the seller. Lastly, make sure that you include a return address with your payment just to make sure there can be no delays... and that should make things as easy as possible for all involved.

Stick to these guidelines and i am sure that any problems that might occur will be much easier for you to resolve.

Ever so sorry for the annoyance caused but i wanted to get the picture across as im fed up with muppets taking advantage of people that put their trust in others.

If you need to bill someone ill give you that Finaly's address!!!

Anyway ive made my point and hope that no1 else has the same sh*te with this guy.

LMAO...that wouldn't matter hun...you wouldn't get anywhere with me anyway :P The fun of being me!!!! :wink:

GTE RACER if you have this muppets home number that would be grand otherwise ill do the old 118 118 and hopefully get it that way.

I know you should be careful when buying things form the interent but it takes the p*ss when people let others down - sorta puts a dampner on the whole thing...wouldn't you agree!??! And when soooooooo many people have been mugged of by certain people it should be made public knowledge and have the tw*t banned.

Was all of this not said in my post?
we are going over the same thing over and over again...


you can and if you cant should be able to ban is ip from even entering the site at all

Even if we did ban his ip address, which we can he would still be able to view the site - and even if we wrote a script to stop him viewing the site at all, which we could... then all he would have to do is change his IP address and he could be back on again.

I don't see how he's just given away any security holes?

Saying you've got a router and you can change the routers IP address is hardly revealing much.

I name this muppet Kermit, AND he has a very small penis. Shame on you! Shame on YOU!!




The point i've noticed from the posts above is this - women get ripped off by private sellers, not just car mechanics and plumbers. lol

Sorry, i know it's not funny. Have some harsh words with his mummy.

obviously you dont get the picture - we can ban him - just cant stop him using the for sale sections without some major mods to the scripting of the site.

I'll let you know how it goes, seeing as soooooooo many people have been mugged off by muppet boy.

Ps - the only reason i posted it on every forum was to ensure ALL members and guests of nova load knew what a twat he was and obvisouly it wasn't just me thinking it :)

[in a polite voice]

it's not just the rip off merchants, people who send money to complete strangers without any formal agreement as found on eBay (although thats still a risk), could also find themselves in a situation where they may be referred to as one of Jim Henson's creations




{disclaimer: no, i'm not an eBay car gimp. but do purchase brand new parts from time to time from reputable sellers. oh, and haynes manuals lol)

Yeah ill admit ive been mugged off and feel like a tw*t but at least ive got something to show for it (in other words the filter).

As i said i only posted on the boards to let people know...sorry for trying to do the right thing.
