JAMIE STEPHEN BOVIS- Dishonest or incompetent, you choose, but be sure to be BUYER BEWARE I visited Pickering Cars on 28.8.24, viewed the car and paid a deposit of £387, agreed that Pickering would deliver the car free of charge. The delivery never happened, I was let down at least a dozen times from September through to December, with a plethora of excuses, trailer had a puncture, driver too drunk from the night before, stuck in snow, family problems but the majority of times no communication whatsoever. At the end of October, I was unavailable for 1 month, no problem said Jamie, will keep it in storage until you are able to take delivery. On the 15th November I asked for the car to be delivered and was told that it would be Friday 22nd November. Of course no delivery, no communication, in fact no communication until 27th November ( he would not answer texts ). I was then told Tuesday 3rd December, again no delivery, in fact no communication until 10th December, where Jamie offered my deposit back which I declined as I would have still liked the car. Subsequently I heard nothing from Jamie, I then asked for my deposit to be returned by end of play on 24th December. To date I have nothing from him. My deposit was returned via my credit card company, Section 75 is a powerful tool. I thought I would do some investigation and discovered that the vehicles logbook was updated on the 4th November, and it was taxed from the 1st November, which leads me to believe that the car was sold to a 3rd party even though he was still talking to me regarding delivery. I could not find Pickering Cars on Companies house nor any other of their trading names but I did discover that Jamie Bovis (trading as Windyridge Carsales) has fallen foul of the Financial Conduct Authority, please see following link for clarification. https://www.regulatorwarnings.com/notices/jamie-bovis-2024#gsc.tab=0 I believe that Pickering Cars and Windyridge Car Sales, are both trading names of Waterside Cars Ltd of which Jamie Bovis is the sole Director. Waterside Cars Ltd Accounts should have been submitted by 31st July 2021, and the Confirmation Statement should have been submitted by 30 July 2023. To date neither have been submitted. Also Waterside Cars submitted an application to strike off from the companies register on the 4th March 2024, on the 16th April 2024 the application was suspended due to an objection by a 3rd party JAMIE STEPHEN BOVIS Dishonest or incompetent, you choose
