They had a reputation of producing VERY good products. But I have always has the feeling that it was run haphazardly & not as efficiently as it Could have been! I mentioned to the 'Proprietor' in the initial phone conversations we had. That How come an established bussiness so apparantly successful. Was run from a MOBILE Phone & not a Landline?..... The usual semi Plausible excuses Etc..... I cant be help but be left with the impression it was run on a shoestring & most certainly NOT 'Efficiently'!.....It Transpires I am not the only one this 'Person' has taken Money from. & Not delivered!...….Acting like this sounds the death Knell for this Bussiness in my Opinion? Such a shame, as this circle of affectionardo's in the Military Vehicle & Re-enacting World. Is quite close, & it dosent take long for band news to circulate!....I have started making in roads along this Route already! I REALLY do not wish to hear of another unfortunate Member / Person getting fleeced like I have Been!.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike30841 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 You are obviously aware that this bod is one of the organisers of YWE, there is an e-mail address for him on their website, ywe.nelz@outlook.com, might be worth a try. Other lines you could consider pursuing might be to contact your local trading standards authority, pursuing the matter via the small claims court, or if you paid by credit card (always a wise move), you can claim the money back from your credit card provider - this is quite simple and a method I have used successfully more than once in the past. If all else fails, you will be sure to find him at ywe…….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike30841 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 By the way, if you e-mail him at the address in my previous post, try copying your e-mails to the other organisers, the embarrassment factor might prompt a response! I believe social media can also be a good tool in these circumstances..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XS650 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) If you can afford the £60 it costs and you have solid back up evidence take it to the small claims court. This can all be done online by filling in two forms. What often happens with chaotic small firms is they ignore all the letters ,do not defend the claim and judge automatically finds in your favour. If they do not pay court sends bailiffs in and usually you get your money back and all costs. But it sounds like you will win your claim whatever .

This can all be done online by filling in two forms. What usually happens with chaotic small firms is they ignore all the letters ,do not turn up in Court and judge automatically finds in your favour. If they do not pay court sends bailiffs in and usually you get your money back and all costs. If going down this route remember to add your time and also interest per day for none payment on time i use 5% compound usually also if you have had advice add there expenses on. I had an issue about non payment and the small claims people were the ones who advised me to do this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johann morris Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Someone else in the same predicament posted a letter in CMV March edition, Page 15 but this Person is from New Zealand. It looks like this Nelz bloke has been a very naughty boy. I hope that someone soon, takes legal action to stop him soon.

ruxy Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Prior to filling any forms (don't fall at the first hurdle) , you need to establish ' who you are dealing with' as party to any proceedings. It seems to me that this is not a Mr. Nelz Nelson it is a "Non-Limited Company" known as Elite Militaria, my understanding is that this is legally technically different to 'Sole Trader' status - you need best opinion on this point. From my experience in a County Court , paying for Solicitors & Barrister , you win your case then have to £ fund a Costs Hearing - then employ a "Practitioner" , so I hope for your sanity the Small Claims Court procedure is a easier ride ! At least his business is not Ltd. Liability - so if he has any assets in the name of his "Non-Limited Company" - then you may just be in with a small chance - provided there is no " Licensed Insolvency Practitioner" involved.

ferretfixer Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Just awaiting some more information from a very helpful member. & I will make a judgement on proceeding down the small claims route. I would like to thank everyone on here. Who has contributed help & support thus far. Obviously, as much as wanting to get my Money back, I will be doing this for other's in spirit also. I would really not like it for other's to 'Catch a Cold' with involvement from this 'Man'!......

simon king Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I am sure that Trading Standards at Hull City Council also be very interested to hear of your experience with this firm. Somebody I know had similar problems with this same company a few years ago. He got the item eventually but I seem to recall him waiting years rather than months for the said item. It became a standard greeting to ask him if he had received his item yet....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
