AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I m genuinely so stressed by the whole experience it s disgusting how this company remains trading I sold my motorhome back to Chris Blackwell after the sudden death of my husband who bought it from him less than 18months earlier This CON MAN will use anything to his advantage including praying on single recently widowed women so it seems He felt it appropriate to send me photos of himself in bed oh yes but couldn t inform me he d sold the vehicle and I wouldn t have known unless I d stopped by unannounced I still held the V5 and a set of keys He made up THOUSANDS of pounds worth of fictitious repairs even repairs to things that weren t even ON the vehicle Then charged them to me Thus reducing my total by over 6000 After passing everything over to Sally he clearly had got what he wanted and couldn t give a toss who apparently doesn t work for him but she does she fobbed me off with excuse after excuse why she couldn t pay me she was ill the internet was down I was waiting for the dog to have eaten the computer so I gave up and had to resort to the SMALL CLAIMS COURT Looks like he expects this as an occupational hazard now I ve read reviews dear God if you re reading these reviews prior to using him which I do hope you are Don t go near him Nearly a year on after handing the vehicle over I ve just got my money back not all but most If this man can treat a grieving woman like this it s just an indication of what a low life piece of he is He even told the court he was the vulnerable one as he has Asperger s Unbelievable I could write so much more because there is more but suffice to say turn round WALK THE OTHER WAY

Hi bought a motorhome from these months
Hi bought a motorhome from these months ago and they did nothing but lie Valeter let them down oh paper work at the garage oh we pay your fuel when you come back up Some of the excuses made But facts are no certificates for gas electric etc didn t put a 6 months warranty on the motor home as said Took it back 3 times and didn t repair it and the mot which they said they don t the oil leak and exhaust Oil leak still there twice they said they fixed it and now the motorhome broken down exhaust fell off And ring the warranty for break down and they didn t put a warranty on it So it s stuck in our garden for 2 months and trading standards involved but they still do nothing Looked like card company will have to take them to court or something but I think trading standard will sort it if they don t sort there act out Wish I did a review on the company before I bought as they is a poor history of review But there keep taking off so you got to re write again Stay away

On the plus side they did sell the motorhome
On the plus side Chris did sell our motorhome and following the pandemic he did well and the vehicle sold for what was predicted However there was lack of communication regarding advising us to cancel the insurance and road tax once the vehicle was with him Likewise there were no updates regarding the progress of the sale and we had to keep chasing regarding progress On the negative side getting payment was an uphill struggle and took 2 1 2 months before we eventually received the full payment of the motorhome from the date of the sale and this also involved lots of communication initiated by us If you want to sell your motorhome they will do it in our experience but be prepared to spend time chasing for updates and payment

AVOID - AVOID - AVOID - AVOID - AVOID - AVOIDTerrible experience selling my van through Motorhome Department at Mere Park Newport Shropshire Christopher Blackwell owner was confident my van would sell after a few minor alterations So took him at his word and signed the agreement in Feb 22 After some 3 4 months I made an enquiry regarding any interest shown in my van a member of his staff informed me it had sold some weeks before I went to meet Chris to find out why I hadn t been informed of the sale and why I hadn t been paid He then waffled on about how he had been too successful and that he had a communication and finance issues It soon became apparent the Man was out of his depth he displayed an arrogant caviller attitude and told me that his new accountant would sort out the payments Yes payments plural Christopher Blackwell has made no apology for the mess he had generated or for the stress and anxiety he has caused me He left all of the dirty work to his staff or to the accountant who it would appear was trying to sort out numerous other financial clusters caused by the incompetence of Christopher Blackwell I have only now been paid fully after receiving the last of 14 payments made over the past 4 months 9 months after the signing of the agreement and 6 months after the sale AVOID - AVOID - AVOID - AVOID - AVOID - AVOID

Sale of caravan
It is difficult to put into words how bad our experience with this company was We strongly recommend you avoid this business which is run by Mr Chris Blackwell We spent a total of nine months trying to get the money he owed us following the sale of our caravan The business appears to function partly by keeping hold of customers money He has various complex reasons he uses which are difficult to summarize but all of which left us frustrated and upset We have been very poorly treated by this business At the beginning Mr Blackwell made repeated calls to us assuring us he would be able to sell our caravan for us and get a good price Eventually my husband and I agreed a price and delivered our caravan to him in early January 2022 Following the sale in June 2022 our money was paid to us in instalments with the final one in Feb 2023 Communication with Mr Blackwell broke down during this period leaving us having to deal with his accountant Needless to say our experience of Motorhome Department was a traumatic one and we found Mr Blackwell to be a deceptive operator You would do well to avoid I would urge anyone who has a complaint about this company to report it to Trading Standards

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Note all
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Note all the other similar awful experiences encountered by this crook Chris Blackwell his so called accountant Sally They sell your vehicle all right but fail to tell you then use every excuse known to man to avoid paying you the agreed sum They drip fed me paltry amounts over 17 months and still owe me 3 000 not to mention lost interest on the 42 000 they should have paid back in December 2022 As others have said they ll then make fictitious claims about repair work being carried out without your consent My vehicle was only 1 year old had only done 5 000 miles - yet incredulously needed over 3 000 of repairs They scam you from day one cause untold worry stress then just when you think the end is in sight twist the knife further with more lies to avoid honouring their obligation If only I could leave no stars It s awful to think there are others he s scamming right now and being told the same pack of lies and fearful they will never see their money Please avoid at all cost If your camper or motorhome is still on his forecourt go and get it back fast as you ll end up with neither a vehicle or the the money and months years of battling for any crumbs

AVOID AVOID AVOID
I can only hope that you will read this in time and avoid this serial liar before intrusting your money and property to him I also wish to apologize to the owner of the motorhome that was sold recently as the money from that came to me for what Chris owed me rather than the poor person who s motorhome it was This is how he does business robs Peter to pay Paul he has to sell one customers property to get the funds to pay another person I was lucky in the sense of getting my money fairly quickly due to paying him a visit in person with a scary friend unlike some poor people who wait and wait and have to resort to small claims court or debt collection services to recover there money If you have your property with this individual then please recover it and sell it elsewhere or part ex it would be better than leaving it with him Sorry I have nothing nice to say about the way this person runs his operation but I really don t If anyone wishes to ask me for more information I m happy to be contacted

The worst Company you could ever deal with
Oh dear oh dear oh dear Where to start What an absolutely awful experience I have had in dealing with this shoddy excuse of a Company and it s sole director Chris Blackwell If you are reading this with a view to letting Motorhome Department sell your asset my advice to you would be AVOID AT ALL COSTS If you are reading this because Motorhome Department owe you money my advice would be to not waste your time trying to negotiate terms with Chris Blackwell he will in my experience default on any terms you agree Just head directly for a legal option through the court as the only way to deal with him If you have read many of the previous comments posted here regarding this Company you will not be surprised to know that I ve had huge problems getting paid 17 months on from the date of sale in April 2023 having been deceived ignored and lied to at various times along the way I can say that today 25th September 2024 is a good day I can finally walk away from having any further dealings with Blackwell and his awful Company as he has made the final payment to me after I raised a claim against him in the small claims court I would strongly recommend to anybody thinking of dealing with this Company that they should think again Please do yourself a favour and walk away
