Michael Stuart Prowse

Michael Stuart Prowse apparently is the new (since 2014) owner of Pilton Auctions in Barnstaple. It appears he came to operate this business by highly contentious means, that the previous owner / operators of Pilton Auctions, Mr & Mrs Cottam, were one day refused a renewal on their property lease, had to leave, and were amazed to find that the business simply continued operating at Pilton Auctions as if nothing had happened! It seems their business good faith was simply taken from them as if it were a perverted game of musical chairs, wtih Michael Stuart Prowse grabbing their seat from under them.

It seems that Michael Stuart Prowse had absolutely no experience in the auctions business, having been a director previously of K2 Management Renewables, Ltd in Bishops Stortford, which directorship ended on the 24th March 2014, and before that was a director of Mill View (St. Michaels Road) Management Company Ltd in Wickford, Essex, showing Michael Prowse to be then resident in Chelmsford, Essex. So I am not sure where he gets his web site claim that "they" have 30 years experience in the (auctions) business.

Anyway, here is my letter to Mr. Prowse. Let us see what happens.

Dear Mr. Prowse

Michael Cottam has informed me that his company no longer trades as Pilton Auctions, but that you now do. According to the EU VAT database, you are the sole registrant of UK VAT Reg No 223 7179 13, and therefore my deduction is that you are a sole trader, as there is nothing to say otherwise that I can find anywhere else. You appear to be trading unlawfully as there is no such information on your web site or invoices.

It seems that you are deliberately elusive and have an especially bad reputation; this comes as no surprise to me.

The contents of the enclosed letter thereby now apply to you personally, unless you furnish me with substantive information on who / what is the legal entity now trading as Pilton Auctions.

You have 20 days to respond and refund or I shall commence a Small Claims against you without further notice. Please note, I am publishing the facts about you and your auction business as clearly this is in the public's best interests; if you have any substantive objection(s) to specific elements of these public warnings, please let me know in writing.

Yours sincerely
