I am posting this web page as a general warning to others of people
and
organisations that we have dealt with who have behaved in a generally
dishonourable and/or dishonest manner, in terms of non-payment of
bills, bad debts, going back on their
word, etc. All of the facts on here are tru, and we have the
documentation to back them up.
This man hired some radios from us in March 2009 and then did not
return them. He came up with a variety of excuses as to where our
equipment had gone, and finally would not talk to us at all. We ended
up going to the Small Claims Court over this. He did not even turn up.
We won the judgment against him - you can view it BY
CLICKING HERE. A year later, he has not paid up.
A quick Google around for the his name and that of his disgusting doggy snack shack business reveals many complaints about the dirty, mouldy and insect-ridden food he sells, and also several people complaining that he charges customer's credit cards twice (or more) and then is very difficult to get a refund from.

They hired some radio gear from us in August 2009 and still have not returned it, in spite of numerous phone calls and messages left, letters sent etc.
In fact, everyone else at "UK Independent Security" has been rather dodgy on the phone. One day, some chap answered, told me that they still had our kit and would send it, and when I asked who he was, said "never you mind my name"?! Several of them promised to send our equipment back, but as of early December 2009 nothing has turned up and no-one will actually answer their phones to me. Avoid them, for they are liars and cheats! Looks like I may have to go to court over this.
December 2009 - HA HA HA - Their own web site has a warning on the front page saying "Please do not associate us with people stating they work with us, part of the company, or acting as a director(s) of the business. If someone states they are a director or part of the company to manipulate a trustworthy transaction call our office (01227 200191) immediately!" - an admission that they are having problems with dodgy ex-employees defrauding people - best advice I think is not to deal with them at all, they sound like a hangout for crooks to me!
If you google for "Tobie Sidders" or "Tobias Sidders" or "Toby Cash" then you will find - as I wish that I had done earlier on - that there are many web pages linking him to various scams, involving cheating other people out of money and goods.
March
2010: Visited 52 Reculver Road and spoke to a member of Tobie's
family (this is not an office, it is his parent's home),
and was told that Tobie had recently got out of PRISON!
April 2010: Spoke to Tobie on the phone, who promised to pay us for the lost kit, so I emailed an invoice to him, nothing so far, though.
All we want is to get our property back, but he seems unwilling to return it to us.
22nd July 2010 bizarre goings-on:
Got
a call from a bloke calling himself "Peter Ward". He initially said
that he was a solicitor calling from a firm called "Clarks" then
"Clarks and Hoverage". He was most unhappy about the description on our
web site about Tobie Sidders and the missing seven walkie-talkies that
we hired to him, which were never returned to us.
He told me "you could be fined" and that I was "totally out of
order" to put this on a web-site, and he said he had lost a large
amount of money because someone about to sign a contract with this
security firm had Googled Mr Sidders, read my notes and then changed
his mind!
I stated repeatedly that if they just paid for the equipment of ours
that they lost or kept, I would happily take it down.
I asked if he could write me a letter from his solicitors stating
exactly what law I was breaking, and what he wanted us to do. He then
admitted that he WASN'T actually a lawyer at all and wasn't calling
from a firm of lawyers, and then said he was Mr Sidders brother-in-law!
(note: I suspect it was Tobie Sidders himself).
He went on and on about how I was stupid, and that I "wouldn't get away
with this" and that I had no business putting stuff like that in public
view. He also threatened to set up a web site of his own, slagging me
off. I pointed out that what I said about him on here was the truth,
whereas anything he wrote about me wouldn't be.
He stopped short of making physical threats, although he did go on
about how "he knew some people who would do a lot more" if I did not
take the page down, and said that I "did not know what I was getting
myself into" and that it was "totally out of order" to put stuff like
this online.
In the end, I agreed to take it down for 14 days during which time he
said they would pay at least some of the money that we are owed by card.
He called me again at 7pm that day, asking if I had done it yet. I said
I would when I got home, and hung up, because I was driving.
Got home, amended the page taking off all reference to Tobie and UK
Isecurity. I left a bit of text saying "this bit removed for 14 days
following a verbal agreement".
He called me again early Friday morning and immediately started to tell
me off for my "attitude" when I again mentioned getting our money.
His mobile number (he says) is 07516 045767.
11th August 2010: No money received, phones not answered, so I thought I would describe this weird telephone call from "Peter Ward" the pretend solicitor (presumably Tobie Sidders?). Their web site (www.ukisecurity.com) seems to have disappeared, so perhaps they have ceased trading, or started using another name to escape past problems or something.
Mid October update: Various strange phone calls making threats against us. He's a real nowhere man, sitting in his nowhere land.....
Of, or formerly of:
7 Avon Close, Canterbury CT1 1RF
He smashed the front window of our house at 77 Wincheap in May 2005, was arrested by the police and admitted the offence, but in spite of several letters, he won't pay for the damage that he did. He has been in prison.
This man deserves a page of his own, which he gets!
Rented a room in our flat, then moved out February 2009 giving no notice whatsoever and owing money.
Big fat bloke. Mobile number: 07814 545250 Email address: jimmyblogs@gmail.com
Don't trust him and don't let him owe you money.
Rented a house from us at 40 Cross Street, Lincoln. Moved out in May 2006 owing us the last month's rent. In spite of his many worthless promises to pay, he never has. A bad debtor to be avoided.
