Help!

Has anyone heard of these people? Guy called Alan? Im quite far away but his horseboxes look like VERY good value for money. Does anyone have a horsebox from these guys or otherwise heard about them? Good or bad, pm if you prefer!!
 
anyone? i cant find anything on north west horseboxes, the guys number or his email address. his boxes are absoloutely stunning and very reasonably priced. i am worried he is not legit though as surely any coachbuilder/converter would have a web presence?
 
I haven't heard of them and I am local.
Have you looked at Kevin Parker of Preston, he has a good reputation.

I also know the owner of JM Horse boxes but these are seriously expensive :eek:.
 
Im pretty much on the doorstep of Bolton and havent heard of them either. I was thinking oooh, who and wheres this place until I read your last reply. Wheres the ad you seen?
 
Please learn from others mistakes ..... This man Allan Cole and his partner Charlotte are ruthless ....
You will be snared thinking they are harmless, honest, hardworking people who have been ripped off by their customers ....
DO NOT FALL FOR IT ......
I am owed thousands and my box is a mess :(
 
I agree with this message .... STAY AWAY >>>>
Alan Cole ... former company names ... ACG HORSEBOXES ... RIVINGTON HORSEBOXES
IT WILL END IN TEARS ....
 
Oh my, ever heard the saying 'Can of worms'? Well we seem to have opened one. We have had a really bad experience with this person Alan Cole but not as bad as some people who have messaged me since, if you have sent money or had a poor experience with NWHorseboxes or Alan Cole then please send me a private message and I would let you have all the information that I can and I will help you all I can. It looks like we got off lightly.......
 
I agree to response off Tailnmane ...
I am happy to help anyone who needs it ......
This man needs to stop taking money off people and giving little or nothing in return ...
 
Not heard of them but can put you in touch with someone who is honest, trustworthy, does a good job and is reasonably priced. His speciality is vans and 7.5tonners. PM me if you want contact info. He made a 7.5ton horsebox for a friend of mine and she's over the moon with it. :)
 
We posted this because we do not want anybody else to loose money.
Somehow this man must be stopped, he works with Charlotte Houghton also known as May Houghton he told us it was his little daughter but it is his partner.
He places private adverts on line in horsemart ect he went by the name of F horseboxes and N W Horseboxes and as BillyBoy1 mentions many other names.... he has done this before. :mad:
 
Wow this is an old thread! I never bought off him in the end i thought his horseboxes were too good to be true and i couldnt find anything on him so i ended up buying another lorry and didnt get one built.

thanks for the heads up though! looks like my instincts were right!!
 
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go anywhere near this conman and his wife.. I commissioned him to build a lorry for me and he spent my money elsewhere, he gave me nothing but lies, ( wife has had a heart attack, his dad has died) excuse after excuse. His wife is Charlotte who also gets involved in the lies. We managed to trace his home and managed to get our lorry back. The build he'd started on the lorry was really bad and unsafe, we had to start from scratch and ended up paying alot more than 25k He cons everyone. Last I heard someone had wired him money for the paint job on their completed lorry and ALan hadnt even started it, these poor people are obvioulsy bailing Alan out of some finanacil mess. I believ he runs a painting and decorating and/or roofing compnay too, so BEWARE.
 
I have registered after pulling up threads on Alan Cole and Rivington Horseboxes. We bought and finally collected a 7.5t lorry in November 2011. I had it checked out by our Renault Dealer in Aberdeen and had a local guy who converts motorhomes and h/lorries, we had in him a qualified opinion only problem with ventilation on fridge, but I have just emailed the window supplier as the internal is waterlogged where windows have leaked, ive also re-welded the ramp and hinges poor. We constantly rang/chased but in the end got a lovely lorry fab design inside and the colour I wanted. Think we were the very lucky ones when we collected there was another one waiting for a lady to collect from Surrey... wonder if she actually did
 
Please Please DO NOT GO NEAR THESE PEOPLE.
We had an awful time just read previous threads, these horror stories are all true.
We knew we were in trouble when we turned up out of the blue, and he tried to sell us a lorry that belong to someone else.
Our lorry was impounded at the paint sprayers as he had not paid the bill so we ended up paying again. He then disappeared we got in contact with the sprayers and they said the lorry was outside his workshop left open.
So they told us to get up there pronto and take the lorry away as we were there the police turned up looking for him.
We had to park outside his house with our car parked across the road to stop them getting away and demand he give us the keys to our lorry, at the same time another poor lady's husband turned up, we then found out from them he has sold everything they had paid for and then tried to sell them our fridge and toilet that we had delivered straight to him.
He also came up with mum died, dad died at one point he thought he had a brain tumour lies lies lies he takes your money and runs.
He has done this over and over again.
Something needs to be done If anyone wants to contact us PM us and we will give up you as much info as we can, there is another lady on here looking for him so if you know where he is pleases PM me so I can let her know.
I am so annoyed he is still getting away with this.
