Tiger Express Despatch

<p>A warning to all...</p><p>I quoted £350 for a job posted by [business] for a run from Edinburgh-Carlisle-Aberdeen and got a call from [name] [name] who is I assume the owner of this company. I collected 20 or so boxes from Edinburgh and headed to Carlisle where I had arranged to meet [name] on the phone , I called him on nearing Carlisle and he asked if I could maybe meet him further down as he was unsure and had never been this far up country before or a long time ago, I said ok and told him that it would cost him extra 60mile round trip further on.</p><meta charset="utf-8"><p>Met up with him at Tebay truckstop and swapped loads, asked him about payment and he said "invoice me and I will sort it when I get back" I think ok fine i will do that guy seems ok at face value.</p><p>Now it looks like I have been stitched up, the phone number on here and the number he used to contact me initially are all either switched off or unavailable, I had contact with him but not any longer so I am down my time and fuel costs. It would be nice to know if any one who has undertaken jobs he has posted has been paid by him....I doubt i will see this money.</p><p><b>[edit] No threats on here please, and no defamatory comments. [/edit]</b></p>

Hi [name],<div><br></div><div>We'll try to touch base with you directly soon, but there has been mention of alleged problems concerning a job from [business] that came through to someone from another site too. I heard of this a few days ago, he has not been on here for nearly 3 weeks now.</div><div><br></div><div>[name]</div>

OK [name] thank you but dont hold out much hope!!

<P>if you have no joy then put a claim into moneyclaim cost you £35 i think and this sends a ccj warning them to pay up or else they goto to court</P> <P> </P>

Can see that court action is the only way, but when he is moving from bed-sit to bed-sit it can be a bit hard!!!!!!

<p>Hi [name], I also quoted for a job from Lincoln to Glasgow overnight, on the way back he text me to see if I would pick up at Birkenhead for delivery to Northampton services I agreed and duly met him, I also asked about payment and same reply invoice me and I will pay you.    I think that I have to put it down to experience and only do work for people I know and trust. He had only been on this site since April! I ought to have known better!!!</p><p>[name] [name]</p>

<div>Hi everyone,</div><div><br></div><div>It has been brought to my attention that [business] is in fact dissolved. Allegedly the guy behind the operation has used couriers and gone into liquidation on other occasions too. I suppose this is often the way with these dishonest people. Anyway, hopefully I'll have some more hard info soon to share with you soon.</div><div><br></div><div>[name]</div>

OK, I have been in fact been contacted about <b>[business]</b>. The name suggests that perhaps this is the same operation as <b>[business]</b>, however I can't find anything to support this.<div><br></div><div>In case anybody is wondering I have also done a web check on <b>[business]</b> and the directors were different people to <b>[business]</b>.<br><div><br></div><div><div>Either way, <b>[business]</b> ([name] [name]) is in liquidation so I suggest you steer clear of these people too.</div></div><div><br></div><div>[name]</div></div>

Just to confirm, [business] is removed from mtvan and have not been seen online for some time. [business] was a member but has not been seen online for years.
