can you not see why people are saying that the retailer should have really contacted the customers like most honest customer friendly based retailers would?

Yes I totally agree with you, I'm not siding with Dave/V-Sport - far from it. He has a moral duty to ensure his customer's satisfaction. I obviously don't know what goes on at his company from an insider's point of view, and I have personally never had any dealings with him/his company, but going by what people/customers have said about V-Sport (not just in this thread) and the fact that he doesn't appear to put customer satisfaction as a priority, coupled with the fact he is throwing the legal action card at Ian suggests to me he is not the sort of person/company that I personally would ever want to have dealings with.
I myself run a business, and would never let things get to this level, regardless of how much money I was making.

Surely rather than threaten legal action of Dave was to u2u each member of the group buy telling them to phone him at V- <insert correct name here> with the details they used for delivery -
Patrick Kluivert, 1 Amsterdam, Netherlands.
And dave MUST have a record of this customer having paid or even if the order of the lights did come in then he would know they had paid and who / where to send them to. These details confirmed (it isnt possible for someone to know 1. Username 2. Actual Name 3. Delivery address provided) so with it definately being this person he could then take their card details and refund the card with his payment machine.
Surely a bit of give in the situation is going to resolve it quickly making the 26 people whos money he has happy thus ending this post, in turn making Dave happy as he doesnt need to worry about what people are saying about him / his company.

TBH it's just the same stuff being repeated over and over now. I'd still like to see a copy of dave's invoice for the order of the depo's.

He can blank out the figures if he must. I just don't think an order was ever placed. I'm not laughing tbh.

Has anyone ever been sued before over a comment made or voicing their opinion on a public forum on the internet? I don't understand how that could happen, it's a shame Ian is being threatened with legal action, but also makes matters worse for Dave surely?

Precisely and by peopel who have no attachnment to the situation whatsoever... and yet Ian is the one taking the shit for it all Go figure...
IMO Im quite sure the people in the group buy have been wholly negliglible in their dealings as well (such as who the fuck pays somethign into someones bank accoutn without obtainign some kind of proof?!?!?) as they always are, such as not getting full details etc... why is it people act differently when they trade via a forum to how thye would via a companies website?!
However, these same people shouldnt be screwed over if they cant have the goods provisded to them but FFS instea dof bitching abnd moaning fro 2 2pages just do what one suer did I sa wona prvious page and seek proper advice form Tradign Standards etc and deal with the situation appropriately, sucks that you ahve to do the legwork but life sucks sometimes 
IMO Ian is well within his right to trash this thread in order to protect himself, hes done fuck all wrong and tried to mediate the situation depsite the continued rammblings and interference of epople with no involement whatsoever and yet he is the one takign all the flack

The thing is Robbo, how many people have arranged group buy on forums for things and all you do is put your name down on alist and paypal / send them a cheque / bank transfer the money and once the payments are all received they order the bits from their contact and you receive your goods. People trust dealings like this on forums as people arranging them are usually trust worthy and you dont worry about not having an invoice etc, so when its a company doing it whos owners is a regular poster on the forum then people would be inclined to trust it even more.

im sorry but no, why should people be made to run around when they have been poorly treated for said amount of months, Please also note that in a court a judge would be mainly be biast to a smaller group or customer then a larger profitable (or not) company.

robbo it was me that went to trading standards, dave a is in breach of contract, i have a nice letter to send him but for arguments sake trading standards told me to push a closed door & do what he's advised everyone else to do, which I'M doing. They also said if no refund is issued & i've provided him with all the infomation then im allowed to take court action, but i dont think it will come to that & i hope it don't. I'm sending my letter off today which i will post up later & if i don't get no refund in 48 hours after the he's recived my letter 1st class recorded i will take further action.

i fully agree they shouldnt, but life is like that sometimes
if you walk out ur front door and leave it wide open then dont be surprised if youve been robbed... that shouldnt be the case but it siomply is
luke - good on you for goign down the proper route and from what ive seen uve not been bitchign at all, just taking appropriate action as you would for anyone
xs - maybe dont be so trusting just because u think u know the person well and take all the same precautiosn as you always would... ian cant say this enough times but people are too laissez faire
Knwoign Ian a little bit Im quite sure hes very unhappy that people are losing money via a website he runs but at the same time its not his job to mollycoddle people and have to constantly remind them to take precautions instead of just going ooh that klooks like a good deal, im in and shippign a laod of cash off... its like the mong that posted cash to willay for a trax ticket

Bingo bango... here is the problem
in reality u dont know these people from adam, you just think you know them because u speak to them everyday but as the woman i work with who was rceently murdered by her husband would probably attest, she thought she knew him well until he stabbed her 30+ times
DONT BE SO TRUSTING and take precautions!

in fairness, realistically, customers do have problems, Personally i would not have disposed of any receipts until i HAD the goods and were in good condition. BUT i cannot blame people who are having trouble in getting proof after 5 months.
