The main operation address I could find is Tiffaynes Farm, Burnt Mills Road, North Benfleet, SS12 9JX. There is a metal gate behind which there is a car park and workshop. We are also interested in taking legal action against Lee, Jack and their company and would be very much interested to know if someone knows a good legal firm to use or is interested to join us in our actions

The address he and the delivery guy gave us is Unit 4 SS12 9JX. Unfortunely our tracking device ran out of battery before the delivery happened

Hi Jacob, Your story is very informative and confirms what I suspected. I will also check myself what has been done to the Van and will be looking to get it out immidietely from there provided it is indeed on the address I was told. If not I will be reporting it as stolen and taking more drastic actions.

Can anyone confirm if the above address and details are the same as the one you have been given for your repairs?

the company details I have been given are 169UK, Unit 4 SS12 9JX. I have been mostly speaking with someone called Lee that just glossed over the topic of his "cancer" when we spoke over the phone again. His number is 07961798333 while the main number I have for 169UK is 01277725022. I would also be interested to find out more about how you get along with your case and might follow suit depending on what happens. I am unsure of this website's policies on such discussions so I'll leave my email just in case someone wants to speak privately [removed - HB]

Thank you to the fast and detailed information. from Adam_hargreaves I will be sending my own mechanic to verify the status of the van and taking a decision based on what they find. From what I am reading I am still early in the possible scam and haven't paid anything yet apart from delivery of the vehicle to there.

We sent our van a couple of months ago for engine replacement. It was supposed to be 3 weeks repair now going into 6 or 7. I stumbled upon yours thread and now having concerns with the Van we gave to him. I would be happy to discuss further actions and legal options with the other people that have been dealing with 169UK.
