Is that anyone on here?


IP32 6NU is the postcode for Krazy Horse!

Like many others I received the original letter & also today another letter saying the original letter had been sent in error & to continue to use my dealer. Left/right hand syndrome?

I'd be pretty certain that the dealer will retain those details quite close to their corporate chest, and not disclose them to the factory so unless the factory have dealt with you directly, I'm not sure how they will obtain your details..?


I am sure that when we had the TM meeting at the factory some 18 months/2 years ago with Steve & Mark one of the subjects discussed was dealer communications. I think Steve said that when a NEW car was bought via a dealer the dealer had a form to fill in & send to the factory with (some) details of the purchaser so that surveys (?) etc could be sent, hence these letters. (Dave, Peter, Simon anyone remember?).

You're quite correct here. We've never had any feedback from that meeting, so I have no idea if this was the case or not.

At least the Post Office are happy..

Received my cancellation letter today. Better to fix it now rather than letting bad feeling creep in between the factory and deelers over time.

I received my "how to molify the angry dealer network" letter today.
Poor old Mark Baldwin had to sign this one.

I rather like it that we can all be a part of an admin cockup.
Sort of reinforces the family feel.
I hope the dealers do forgive them.

Nick

Red faces all round

I’ve known similar such ‘cock ups’ in business

Many years ago I designed court rooms for magistrates, county and crown courts and my company bought in all the chairs from a chair manufacturer and sold them to the courts but we got the manufacturer to deliver the chairs direct to the buildings and our delivery men would install them on site along with the furniture

A new sales director joined the seating manufacturer and secretly went through all our delivery notes and orders and sent letters direct to all our customers telling them of their super new products and actually sent pricing guides

We found out and we dropped them immediately and switched our supply chain, signing up to another manufacturer and our Chairman at the time literally threw their sales rep out of the door

They ended up loosing around £1M a year on sales and went bust shortly after

Every one of our customers remained loyal
