The Scottish connection makes me realise that I almost ordered a car from them last December. Phew!

What an absolute appalling situation. I read 2 other forums about UK Vehicle Solutions. It appears that there are many people who thought they were getting a bargain in car contract hire. In reality they were asked for a deposit, which they have banked, but no vehicles were ordered. The business disappeared a shortwhile ago, but nothing could be done by the Police until the magic date of 12 September as this was the date for delivery of virtually all of the vehicles.
The main problem seems to be people's expectations of getting what they see on screen. They have not done sufficient checks in to the business before parting with their cash. All of the delas on offer were significantly better than all the other known firms in this sector. No true contract hire firm would ask for a deposit before the customer sees the finance document. Then the payment would always be made to the finance house, not the broker. Many customers failed to get any finance paperwork, just a receipt for their deposits.
It appears that there is little that can be done for these people taken for a "ride" (pun intended). The fraud has probably netted between £350,000 and £1,000,000. The Police, Trading Standards, the local Glasgow newspaper, the Daily Mirror, and BBC Watchdog are all on the case. I do hope this pair of fraudsters are caught quickly.
