Fowlers are now offering finance to drivers on this forum under the name the taxi finance man, Please be very wary if toy choose to deal with them


anybody thinking of buying a car from these crooks then check out my post on Fowlers motors, They have ripped me off to the tune of £18,000 and done the same to many other taxi drivers. It really is in your best interest to find finance from somewhere else.

This forum is for the well being of our trade and these bandits have no right to advertise on here. they take in part exchanges and don't clear off the existing finance and the finance company come after you for the balance, even if you have no part exchange do you really want to give your buisness to a company like Fowlers who have deliberatley set out to ruin fellow taxi drivers.

I won't hide behind my nickname on here, my name is Terry Lewis and i live in South Shields, Dean-132 is my taxi call sign at Dean taxis.

Anybody with similar dealings with this group of sh*theads then send me a message as i have a firm of solicitors in Manchester building up a good case against them.

they have ruined my life , my credit history and my health do you really want to be next

Never trust fowler's bunch of thieving bastards. I was taken to court August 2008 because of this bunch of scum didn't pay of my Jag mentioned earlier in this thread. Fortunately for myself Bank of Scotlands Solicitors DWF of Manchester (wonderful person is Debbie) that took Hart Taxis and myself to court along with a brilliant Judge gave me some excellent free advice. What happened in the court was I learned I was legally responsible for the debt but had been robbed by a bunch of crooks, but also how to fight back with minimum cost to myself.

After I started having ago at the companies that allowed these lot to advertise in their magazines on the internet, knowing they where as bent as hell I got somewhere. PHTM and others did not like me coming on here and other places slaughtering their magazine, wasn't good for business. Liza Lipsom of PHTM personally went to Fowler's and got the cheques sent to DWF Solicitors and the debt paid off. Left myself £400 out of pocket, credit history ruined and nearly destroyed my marriage, but within about 8 weeks of going to court the debt £11000 plus debt was paid off. These magazines don't like the trade slagging them off on websites. Worst thing was I never knew I was doing business with Fowler's I thought I was doing business with Cabs and Buses, appears these gobshite's trade under both names. So beware

just a little mention about fowlers they are the biggest bunch of ripp offs this side of CAB DIRECT,they promise the earth then drop you as soon as the cheque is cleared,they dont do warranty on anything because you are a TAXI so surely that is why you by from them,just like CAB DIRECT,they just want the money not the headache of after sales service,dont even mention part ex on anything you last buy from them its not worth half the value within a year,my and a few other people i know its just a joke to even listen to their CRAP sales people.

Oh dear, poor old Fowlers!
It must be about a year since I've been on this site. A mixture of having to give up taxi-ing partly due to ill health partly due to Cab Direct. Then losing my login details! I notice I have a message from GMB from July - will get back in touch! [Not that you'll recall of course!]
You know, I find it so strange reading these posts saying how bad Fowlers are. It really does sadden me. I get the feeling I must have been their only satisfied customer. And they did treat me well and with respect. We had a great relationship for three years. This must have been about 2003 - 2006. [very approximate dates]. What on earths happened?
I hope someone from Fowlers read this thread. They appear to have seriously got things wrong. It's not about the pound signs, they'll come naturally when you have customer satisfaction sorted - as the Taxi Centre appear to have - I do hope they learn. If not, bye bye Fowlers...
