Just give it a rest man.
I have zero idea why you refuse to believe his actual statements of facts and consider them to be just speculation. HE SAID THIS.
THERE IS NO COMPANY. Lewis was a sole trader.
Sure, and I said several times that this is only a problem for "Eric" if Lewis chooses to make it so.
Again. He told us he read them.
He didn't. Eric said he had access to them after taking over the account.
I never said he hacked into that account. I simply stated the law as it stands. Unauthorised access to someone else's e-mail is an offence. Hacking is not required. If it happens by accident, not a crime. Continuing to access to when you know you're not supposed to have access, a crime.
Dude, why do you keep trying to frame this as a court case with cross examinations?
He told us he did something. That something breaks the law. Whether he gets prosecuted for that is entirely another matter.
I'm not playing judge. I'm just telling you what the law says.
Hey, enjoy your shilling.
Not joining a witch hunt != shilling.
Just bought a VPS from Velox and then found this thread.. 😔😔😔
You could request a refund or try to believe🙏
I am buying one now.
Just for fun. Just to see what shits could be thrown at me as a customer. Not interested in the vps but the drama yes.
That's a hero attitude. Be careful to not spend a lot of money. Welcome as part of the drama!
that the reason they seem to re-brand into new entity in new year. Velox Media brand is so tarnished now here on this forum that it will be hard to get new leads.
Did you get a proper invoice now? Since this id > @itachikonoha said:
Have you got a proper invoices with all the required data? Or these are still trash?
lol, who bought a 30gb for 30/yr?! We’re down to one available from two… 😂
Also curious if we sussed that out…given Velox Media was supposedly a sole trader.
Feels like we have 3 identities that are all the same person right now.
Didn’t include this in my previous comment, but I’m bemused about the amount of effort Eric put in to excusing giving a background as to who they are, blaming Xmas and time spent on DDOS etc, versus just writing a one or two paragraph background that would have surely taken less time than the constant defensive posts.
With every purchase, you get to chargeback, good choice.
It could be @itachikonoha who ordered something earlier.
anyone issued dispute Via PP ,, after down more than 10hrs. now server very unstable
Guys just stop with this entitled behavior, they have whole teams of people standing by to take care of your issues. Just wait til the chargeback period is over.
But would it be fair to chargeback while the service is working? We may complain of scammers, but we must be careful not become scammers ourselves in the process.
Well do you have a service provided by Lewi? Most just got a free server provided by Eric that has nothing to do with Lewi
You bought a VM that is managed by a UK sole trader and that was the contract. Is it still managed by Lewi, a UK sole trader? You didn't agree that the contract was changed and the VM should be managed by a US citizen, right?
The contract was not honored, so you can open a dispute or chargeback, even if the VM is still online.
In this conversation about ownership and intent and money, we tend to forget that our contracts are customers are within a brand named "VeloxMedia". Yes, the brand might have changed ownership, but the contract and obligations stay. By doing a chargeback we scam this tarnished brand, because so far the service was provided so far, while we change our mind asking for money back without any legal grounds for breaking said contract.
It is a mess. I am not defending the providers (both new and old) in any way, shape or form. I don't want to turn into a scammer myself either. Chargeback won't solve anything, it might only end up in making me look bad in my own eyes.
You have no contract with "VeloxMedia" and you never had! Lewi was a sole trader. You have a contract with Lewi trading as "VeloxMedia".
But Lewi sold the business, or gave it away - at least this is what was stated publicly. This sale included the contracts too. We all know businesses, contracts, customers, data, servers, all can be sold legally nowadays. Almost anything can be measured in imaginary currencies nowadays.
The correct legal term is Lewis Edwards Trading As Velox Media.
No, Lewi couldn't sell the contracts as they were contracts done with a sole trader. There never was a real company. Even Eric confirmed this himself, dunno, why you are not seeing this. If you don't know what can be done and what is legal, why not inform yourself before posting false statements?
You cannot sell who I have a contract with! Either I have a contract with a company and that company can be selled so the company still exists or if I have a contract with a sole trader, I need to be informed and accept a new contract with a new entity!
Now I am no legal expert or lawyer, but from a simple question to multiple AI services, all of them say the same: a sole trader can sell or transfer their business activity to another company according to UK legislation.
Well if you really want to bring in the AI, I'm rather talking to laywers but whatever. You need to include all information in your question
Your request is wrong. This has nothing to do with:
Your request was made complicated on purpose to obtain a biased result. And please try to use AI answer with your own words, as in filtering it with your brain. Don't just dump the whole blob here.
You can but it requires consent.
So what option would you select for PayPal dispute reason? And what details would you add for the ticket?
"I received an item that wasn't as described", sole trader went out of business before the term end, data was transferred to another legal entity without notice and consent and contract was not honored as the VM is now managed by US entity rather than UK entity.
