What is this blog about?
This blog was created to voice my personal opinions and views about the SweetCollect.co.uk website, the company Carl Knight Limited AKA Sterling Rock and Carl Knight/Buckingham himself. In here you'll find background info, consumer reviews, useful links and plenty of warnings about all of the above.
My first article explains the history surrounding me and the above mentioned names. Read here
Recent forum discussions found here and here explain a bit about the business practices of Carl Knight Ltd.
There would have been no need for me to write this blog if Carl Knight and his lapdogs had acted in an honest and decent way. As it stands at the minute Carl Knight is threatening to sue anyone and everything who even hints about any negative aspects regarding his company and business practices. Non-biased consumer review sites are becoming exactly what they claim they aren't. They ARE becoming biased.
The voice of the consumer is lost forever if we can't even be heard on consumer review/opinion sites. The UKs biggest consumer site ciao.co.uk have removed all trace of Sweet Collect from their website, this means the many MANY negative reviews and warnings by us common Joe Bloggs consumers have been lost forever.
Is this fair?
Gawd knows how websites like Sweet Collect and companies such as Carl Knight Ltd remain in business for so long. From what I can see there's far more dishonesty surrounding Carl Knight than there is honesty. It's not right and plenty of consumers just like myself also have the same opinion.
Do you readers have any opinions to offer? You don't have to agree with my viewpoint in order to leave a comment. Do you know of other websites or companies just like this? Share your opinions here (good/bad/positive/negative etc, all are valid) without fear of recrimination.
hi -
I just by chance came across your blog and my first thought after reading your thoughts was 'Good for you!' I dont know what you went through but I can relate to your feelings about dealing with less than stand up business practices. Bad news. It would have been good to have a little idea about the specifics, i.e., were you sold a caslte w/o a moat or is this guy a sociopath? Just a little unless I missed something about 'it' would help with the empathy factor. Well, good luck! I will check back later to see if you had a response.Bye :)
