I believe I have been duped out of a large cash deposit (sent by bank transfer - unfortunately) for a new Ford Fiesta to a company called bikescarsandvans at Mytholroyd in West yorkshire. They are not answering phones (08006899040) does anyone know what's happened to them. Their website is still functioning but they don't answer emails. What's my best next step? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry to bump an old thread - West Yorkshire police have today put out an appeal for anyone affected by this firm to contact them urgently. The directors are in court next week. Paul.

BCAV have caused me nothing but trouble from day one! I have a feeling that Jason Wright was the brains behind the operation with Christopher Lord being the escape goat. It seems Jason Wright, if his real name has just vanished from the face of the planet. Anyone got any updates on whats happening with them?

Do we know who the rest of them are? Jason Wright and Christopher Lord owe me more money than most on here, having paid for my 'new' car in early December 2010. The issue was reported to my local police, who again were worse than useless, but at least they did suggest I use Trading Standards for my complaint. I can't afford to lose £14k, but like everyone else on here, thought I'd followed correct procedures to ensure my purchase was sound. Just hope the fraud squad get involved and justice is done.

Hi folks, we spoke to Police in Halifax about BCAV who were very helful and are now coordinating everyones complaints about this firm. They are virtually certain it was all a scam and no cars were ever ordered. They are going to try to build a case against Christopher Lord the Director of BCAV (maybe not his real name?) They have told us that the bank account we paid into has been cleared unsurprisingly - perhaps several were in use by them though. Suggest everyone reports to the Police then at least they can hopefully gather evidence and we can see some this guy and his colleagues (who the Police think were all in on it together) brought to justice. if that doesn't work we can all only hope there's some Karma in this world or the next for this gang?

Beesley and Company (01625 544777 www.beesley.co.uk) are going to be acting as liquidators - I'm trying to complete my deal through them but this can only happen if my deposit was actually paid to landrover by BCAV......! another disgruntled scamee

We are also in the same situation. Car supposedly due to be delivered 1st March. BCAV Solutions Limited are going into voluntary liquidation on 2nd March according to a letter we received.

I suggest everyone reports it to the Police and try to have the Directors done for fraud. I wonder if they even placed any orders with the car manufacturers or if the whole thing was a scam. We are all highly unlikely to see our money again but at least we can try and get them to face criminal charges.

I'm in the same situation as you, I went to their office on Wednesday and it was desereted, so i've contacted West Yorkshire police. They told me as I live in Sheffield i need to contact my local station and make a statement before they can look into whats happened.

Have something to say?
