Hi All,
Just trying to help a friend who bought from this person and is now having problems.
Just wanted to know if anyone has used/had experience of this chap.  He advertised in The Sur, works on Costa del Sol, says he is a sky trained engineer and supplies cards to Brits who do not have a UK address.

My friend happily paid the ?250 that was being asked - just for the card (!!!)... with the promise of this chap ‘controlling’ any extra channels said friend might want to add/change at any time. (I am guessing this guy has several cards registerd at his/friends UK addresses). My friend pays sky by direct debit - but more is being taken out than he was quoted.
He is afraid to phone sky in the UK as he does not know who the card is registered to.
I have advised him to call anyway - as he is paying the bill - (of course pretending to be calling from the UK) and find out more/sort the situation to his satisfaction).

Myself and others have tried to speak to Mr James to reslove things - but he hangs up on us/fobs us off each and ever time.

Any info would be welcome. (The address on his receipt for sale of card turns out to be an old address).

Thanks in advance, SJ

Could this perhaps be the same person or related to Alan James?  He’s a Sky technician working out of Centro Bena Vista, 16 - Urb. El Paraiso - 29688 Estepona.  My company has had experience with him in some properties and so far, so good.  Cell phone is 617 403 103.

Thanks for your reply rubi.. No I don’t think they are related.  I know Alan/his outfit and have used them in the past for many installations at rented properties with no probs.

This guy is called Steven (full name - just checked with friend) - James - and advertises in Sur.
We are hoping to get a positive resolution as this is just ludicrous.
