Fraudster and vile person

Recently had the worst experience ever with a so called business man. My father purchased a vehicle from this person in good faith. Paid for it with his debit card and drove it home. On reaching home, he realised there were numerous things wrong with the car. The next morning he called and explained to the man the situation. My daughter went with him then to take the car back and explain the situation. Dad explained that he purchased the car in good faith, believing in the whole story of “this is a family business blah blah”. The owner of the business then exploded with “it’s not a f***ing money for me, I’ve had more f***ing money than you two could ever imagine. I’ve spent more money than you two will ever have on coke and shoved it up my f***ing nose. I’m an alcoholic and spent more f***ing money on ale than you two could ever earn”. It went on and on, my dad politely asked him to calm down and explained that there was no need for this and in front of his granddaughter, he would be happy if the issues could be resolved. The man then informed him it was too late and my dad “could have his f***ing money back”. Dad agreed this and then the man informed him he’d repay so much in cash and transfer the rest. He produced a wad of cash and told my daughter to count it, all the time causing further issues distracting her and arguing with dad. He then informed her it was clear she had never counted large amounts of money and he’d do it. He supposedly counted £10,500 in cash put it in an envelope unbeknown to dad and my daughter he’d slipped £1000 to one side. He transferred £1000 to dads bank and told him he was withholding the £500 for the warranty (which on now reading previous reviews is actually none existent). My daughter phoned and asked if I’d collect them ASAP which I did, the man shoved the envelope of cash in my hand through the window and again was unpleasant and patronising. We drove home only to realise when coming to bank the cash it was £1000 short. All in all it cost my dad £1500 for a very unpleasant and upsetting experience and for a car that he had less than 24 hours and with issues like the hand brake not actually working leaves you questioning how this car passed its MOT. Please steer well clear of this so called business, a fraudster and a vile human being. Zero stars but would not accept without putting one, so undeserving.
