my opion is transx are going to be taken to court as this is not true
they didnt withdraw i finished with them


To elaborate on the story, Cornwall Electricals offered to sell me a
Microwave oven at a very fair price. *I paid them using a credit card
and they offered to deliver in one week. First 'problem' was the
invoice they sent me itemised a camera as the purchased item. *I
corrected them by telephone but did not receive a revised invoice.


*Cornwall Electricals, or their contractor (TransX) charged my credit
card immediately ( sharp practice). A week plus a day ( I think) I
visited Cornwall Electricals web site and noted that 'Due to volume of
orders, goods will dispatched two, weeks after order' (or words to
that effect).


*I tried to call Cornwall Electricals but they were not answering. *I
emailed with a question about when I was to expect delivery and
received a reply saying they were having 'problems' with their credit
card processor and I would be receiving a refund within 72 hours. I
could pay them with cash to receive the items ordered! Alarm bells
began to ring.


To date I have received no refund and they claim the problem lies with
their contractor Transx and not them! *Cornwall Electricals don't seem
to understand the basics that they as the 'prime' have total
responsibility for the transaction including any default by their
contractors.


Just be warned, do not give your business to these people. *They may
not be dishonest but my experience suggests they are to be avoided. *I
suppose it is the old adage when a deal seems to good to be true it
usually is! Caveat empor


I HAVE REFUNDED EVERYONE ON MYSIDE , IF I COULD MAKE THE REFUNDS GO
QUICKER I WOULD THE MONEY IS SAT IN CYPERSPACE AS THEY SAY , IF YOU
VISIT WWW.TRANSX.CO.UK YOU CAN TALK TO THEM LIVE AND CHECK YOUR REFUND
IS ON THE WAY BACK

Your website used to state:


"Cornwall Electricals - Penzance. Founded in 2008, Cornwall Electricals
has many years experience in the Electrical Goods sector"


Now it states "Cornwall Electricals has been established since 2005"


And yet the company was incorporated just this month:


Date of Incorporation: 11/02/2008


How does a business established for just a few weeks qualify as having
"many years experience"?


On the **** estate where is the spare bedroom of the semi he is
trading from, a couple of weeks might seem like a life time!
Look down on his premises from Google Earth

TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT, WOW ANYWAY I HAVE A

I know this is an old thread but I've only just come across it. I was
mentioned in the thread quite early on and thought it relevant to update
and close the thread.
I'm Mr Barnes the owner of the website Nicholasparc.co.uk and what I wrote
about Parc Mellon still stands today, albeit a far better place now that
it ever was. But my actual reason for posting is to inform you all that
Cornwall Electrical was indeed trading from a flat and has been closed
down many years ago. Scott continued to defraud customers and was later
charged and prosecuted for fraud by Ebay. He was later charged and
prosecuted for stealing £700 from a church and I believe other offenses
were taken in to account.
Undeterred by all of this he now operates a carpet cleaning business.
