mytyres.co.uk: beware

The message from Tony Brett contains these words:

Really? You like to provide something to back that up, 'cos as far as I'm concerned they're open to anyone who cares to pay and can provide your name and address.

I've used mytyres 6 or 7 times now and never had any problems. Sound like they are being pretty helpful to me.

Mike

You strongly recommend against ordering from them, because they are readily prepared to accept that you are telling the truth?

How odd.

Would you advise that I order from them if they had called you a liar, swore at you, then hung up?

No. Because they use a crap courier.

Ian

Credit reference agencies will only send results of that sort of search to the address of the subject. And they won't allow results to be forwarded by Royal Mail either.

Sorry, just not so. The going rate (following a whiz through Yellow Pages - I admitted I was not a www expert) is £50 for a full credit report. All they need is the name and address of the subject. For roughly double that they will provide your last six months bank statements, all credit/debit card statements, even details of your utility bills. And the Royal Mail really doesn't come into the picture at all.

I wish I shared your confidence. I'm of an age where the local plod was Doxon of Dick Green, and London was a place where Beefeaters played bowls on top of thatched double-decker buses. But I'm afraid it just ain't like that any more.
