I bought a car from Woolston Car Supermarket which is under the Directorship of a Stan Rudgley. Long story short the car has had issues ever since I bought it. After some digging on Google searches and finding out other names associated with Woolston Car Supermarket a few names keep appearing. One is a young man called Ryan Overton with whom I have a degree of sympathy for. Another is Stan Rudgley who is the current Director of Woolston Car Supermarket. Finally the last name is a man called Richard Burbage.
Now Richard Burbage is the interesting character amongst the mentioned individuals. It appears
Richard Burbage has left a large number of individuals high and dry over in Australia.
The link below is to a blog created by someone who along with lots of others is keen for Richard Burbage to return to Australia. There have been a few comments on this blog by individuals over here in the UK which is why I wanted to link these stories together. http://matthewgreen.com.au/2013/06/04/we-buy-any-car-scam-update-2/
Here's what I know. Woolston Car Supermarket is no longer based in Woolston. I have visited the site where they were trading from and apart from 6 maybe 7 vehicles in the location there is no sign of Richard, Stan or Ryan. The office is empty and the place has been cleared out.
I will no longer mention Ryan Overton as he was the Director of another organisation called Hampshire Vehicle Sales which I believe to be heavily linked to Richard Burbage. Ryan is a young guy who I believe was taken in with the promise of riches and probably now finds himself black listed.
I believe but cannot be sure that Woolston Car Sales has now moved to either Locks Heath or in to Fareham (around the Newgate Lane area). I am sure the name will probably change to reflect the move and will be keen to see who the Director will be.
Please post your experiences to this post and use Richard Burbage and Woolston Car Supermarkets name in your post to maximise it being picked up in Google searches.

I don't want to create any bad publicity for a genuine business but has anyone checked out Fort Wallington Car Sales or know if Stan Rudgley is connected to it.
Well done on setting up this blog. I sincerely hope these charlatans are shut down sooner rather than later.

Same cars that were on Hazel Road.
Service 4 Life Ltd is company trading as FWCS. Urge people email scam@autotrader.co.uk
look at facebook.com/fortwallingtoncarsales
Agreed. After searching on Google I found the same information. Spread the word and lets get Richard Burbage, Stan Rudgley high up on the google so as to stop others being caught out by them.
Here's an article about Mr Richard Burbage and what he did in Australia.

autotrader investigating. also urge others to complain exchange and mart Gumtree friday-ad. No adverts no sales!
I have also contacted autotrader so hopefully if they receive a few complaints they will act. Good call on Exchange and Mart, Guntree and Friday-Ads though
Please also contact actionfraud.police.uk. The more reports sooner police will investigate.
Rang them today. Claim they are Fareham Car Centre which is A LIE. Fareham Car Centre is car dealer not connected to the Woolston lot
Worth letting HMRC know about VAT avoidance

Ryan Overton is listed with Autotrader as being contact for Woolston Car Supermarket . If he comes forward with what he knows then he is no longer involved with R and B.
Ryan Overton was the Director along with Stanley (Stan) Rudgley of a company called South Coast Enterprises (UK) Ltd which I believe traded as Woolston Car Supermarket. I'm having a slight stab in the dark here but may be things started to look a bit dodgy for this company so then Woolston Car Supermarket was registered as a Limited company but this time Ryan had been dropped and Stan Rudgley was the sole Director. Mr Richard Burbage setting up others to take the fall whilst he just walks away. Good work Richard!
do not dispute timeline. Note Service 4 Life incorporated sept 13 so the plan is as I see it sell up in Fareham inside of 6 months and vanish for good.
If Ryan really contrite then he knows enough to stop them now. Failing to prevent consequent harm remains conspiracy to defraud.
Tough being an adult Ryan. His Mum works for the Council and is thoroughly respectable and no doubt had a part in steering Ryan away from all this once it started hanging around their home. Not clever running a scam from the bedroom of ya Mam s place!
Fareham car centre PO16 8ST
My husband and I went there to view a BMW few weeks back.
A guy approached us on the like forecourt of the site . No greet ' attitude from start no welcome couldn't stop spitting horrible . Think his name is Paul I wasn't happy he didn't listen to our wants . Most important to us, and also your readers. This company is ran by a bankrupted man . We found out it's illegal to sell finance if your bankrupt.
We've reported this to the FSA and Fareham county council. His reviews on his site are false.
You need to take extra care and avoid this car trader.
