Helping Brian back on the road again after misfortune
Donation protected
I was advised to do this following messages about my post below and my Dads misfortune. How can someone treat a pensioner like
this.
Words are hard to describe how I feel right now after having someone take advantage of my Dad, a pensioner, survivor, someone who has devoted their time to those in care and others after losing his wife to dementia, a former musician and simply a top top chap and Father too…. But today a man took advantage of his kindness and ripped him off following a car purchase.
His car recently died which he used daily and specifically for his travels between care homes and therefore looked for another immediately to continue with his singing and attending care homes for the elderly to be entertained, also for his own use too and had to be an estate as before to carry his kit.
Sadly he has been ripped off and scammed by a local chap from Swindon after discovering a car for sale on the marketplace, which was within his price range and savings of £2k….. he thought it ticked the boxes after seeing the advert and thought it was as a genuine car with no known faults; the seller even told my Dad “it won’t drive like a sports car”….. no it won’t that’s because unknowingly to him the turbo was faulty and the car was in limp mode when you sold it to him ….. he expected it to last more than 10 miles , wouldn’t you. Seemed a little odd that you would drop it off to his house and wouldn’t except his goodwill to drive you home either… no because you know it was knackered.
The chap from Swindon knowingly sold a car that wasn’t fit and after contacting him myself to discuss further after supporting my Dad today with RAC recovery, he wouldn’t even do the right thing and offer any goodwill… he blocked me instead and said to my Dad that he wouldn’t be paying anything back to him…. IT LASTED 10 MILES ……..Disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourself for ripping of the elderly and a pensioner who only wants to bring happiness to others. Thanks, a new turbo will now cost Circa £1300 …. I hope you and I never cross paths and I hope the £2k you have taken from a pensioner makes you sleep well.
