Or we'll sue you if you don't remove that statement within 24hrs.

Yes.
At a guess >>kers"<<
Now technically, will the men in the company state infront of a court that they have never masturbated? If not I suspect even on that count they may have some problems .

I called gear4bikes.com "a load of wankers" in an old thread. And I had a phone call about an hour ago telling me if I didn't have it editted within 24hrs they'd sue me for calling them "a load of wankers". |

Tell them that you wish to amend your previous statement based on what they have said.
Tell them you now regard them as " the biggest load of wankers you have ever come across". |

I certainly life up to expectations . ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/nsrandy/96rs250/ My Bike!

Gonna call them up tomorrow and ask them to clarify exactly what it is they are requesting that I change, and see what they say then.
Stupid idiots. By bringing it up, it's meant the old thread has been bought back up so more people read about them. |

It doesn't matter, they can't sue as his opinion was purely that based on his experience with dealing with them.
If he had decided to go around saying it without actually dealing with them then they may of had a case, but since his opinion was based on his experience with dealing with them it is just, and as such there is no case.
They are simply damaging themselves more by threatening a customer for having an opinion on the service he received. After all would you want to deal with a company who threatened you if you formed a negative opinion of them from the service you received!? ____________________ The BCF's very own Party boy!

Well I just spoke to them... and to quote them "just as well, as don't have the resources to sue you anyway".
Tried to point out to them that them threatening to sue a customer has done more harm than good but they wern't having it.
Oh well, all I can say is don't buy from this company. If your stuff never turns up and you post on here about it, they'll try and sue you.

They just said it wouldn't stand, never really discussed it a great deal as you said not to bother.
Also the fact they where too busy wetting themselves at the thought of a company phoning and threatening to sue a customer because he formed an opinion on bad service.
Either way you gave them a good laugh this morning, to which they thanked you. ____________________ The BCF's very own Party boy! Though he's getting old and feeling it!

Steve, I think we should set up a defence fund for you just in case this quality shop decide to actually take you to court (like that's going to happen), if everyone was to make a donation you'd have enough money to call them ******* all day long. If they didn't take you to court then we could all have a massive drink up. |

Not that I think I should ever need to use them, but this thread has certainly put me off ever using them.
In the current trend of giving great customer service, all I can say is, they sound like a right bunch of wankers.
Sorry, has someone else already said that? ____________________ Colin McRae MBE 1968 - 2007 RIP

Oh yeah I see that. I did the same search on google. Boy does it stand out. I can understand why they reacted like they did. I did the search by just slapping gear4bikes into google. It came straight up with what you got there, Korn. ____________________ Current bike: VTR1000F Firestorm. Previous: Firestorm (written off) - XJ600 Divvy - NSR125 - DT125 and a load of offroaders. |
