    Default Hi! New member needs a bit of help

    Hi, I have been a long time lurker here and have gained much useful advice and help, so thanks to all for that.

    However, I have also picked up one slight problem. I placed an order with Scott Nangle for quite a few records, mainly based on the glowing reviews that I had heard about the man and his business here and on other forums.

    The problem is it looks as though I have been ripped off, and other negative feedback on Discogs etc seem to paint a picture of a reliable business that has suddenly gone bad.

    Anyway, long story short. I couldn't pay by card so am having to pursue this through the small claims court. I think I have a pretty strong case, but I'd be very grateful to hear from anyone here who has had problems in the past couple of months.

    I don't know if you are aware, but there is a thread on the Linn forum relating to similar issues:

    Hi David, sorry to hear that, I've bought a lot of stuff from Scott and always had great service. If you can PM me some details I could get in touch with him for you?

    Hi David,

    Welcome to AoS

    Sorry to hear about your problems with Scott Nangle Audio. In order to try and rectify this situation ASAP, I'll upgrade your account straight away to enable you to send Scott a private message.

    Scott was logged into the forum earlier today, so he should see your PM pretty quickly. When you send him a message, mention that I've asked you to contact him. Please update the thread when you've made contact and let us know how you get on.

    Marco.

    Thanks for the swift replies.

    I don't think that making contact with Scott will help now unfortunately. I have been speaking to him on the phone as recently as last week, but as nice as he is, there is no progress.

    The last time he contacted me, he gave me a tracking number for part of my order. When I contacted the courier to find out where it was, they informed me that the collection had been booked, but when they got there to collect it they were turned away. They have not been contacted about a new collection date.

    That was just the last in quite a long line of broken promises I have had unfortunately.

    Apart from having to fight to get my money back, I am disappointed because I thought I had found a new favourite vinyl supplier before all this happened.

    Oh dear. The complaints all appear to be from members whose only posts are complaints. It is not possible to at this stage to rule out that this is only one person.
