GCs PCs - DO NOT BUY FROM [Removed]

MoneySavingNovice

Thanks to Dinah Greek for the above.

I'm not sure about the following - so please if I'm wrong some-one put me right...... but I believe that should a company be 'struck off' there could be grounds to apply to the courts that the (former) directors be personally liable for any outstanding debt.

As [Name removed by Forum Team] is not a director being too young - it is unlikely to be him, but a company must have a director - I would not like to guess who that it, but CH will advise Name and Home Address of any director.

I think you will find that the Directors are directly related from birth

Yup. But Serena Thomson of Newcastle certainly ain't.

Many here will remember Serena Thomson: she was the first winner of the GCPCs website Sony Laptop promotion.

The promotion was run to incentivise punters into paying over the odds for stuff they weren't necessarily ever going to receive.

The Crown Prosecution Service found no grounds to pursue [Name removed by Forum Team] for fraudulent behaviour, so Essex CID must have established that both the GCsPcs Sony Laptop Prize Promotion / Serena Thomson prize winner were 100% genuine.

Essex CID would have established this very simply and very quickly by obtaining Serena's Newcastle address details from [Name removed by Forum Team] and then contacting her for confirmation that she did indeed receive the laptop and was indeed the individual subsequently congratulated on [Name removed by Forum Team] 's website for her winning ways.

Essex CID is imbued with considerably greater detecting skills than anyone here so the notion that it could have failed entirely to address an issue as fundamental as this is quite untenable, and I certainly wouldn't subscribe to it when the record proves our police are wonderful and [Name removed by Forum Team] is blameless.

Come to think of it, I've no idea why I've returned to this thread after a long break to mention Serena Thomson of Newcastle and her GCsPCs laptop prize.

Hi when I was talking to Companies House before I made my last post I was told that there are no directors listed anymore!

There have been none since Feb this year, when his father, the last one, resigned.

[Name removed by Forum Team] is the only one now with a directorship - for Percorso Formula One Limited, of which he is sole Director.

Which as far as I am aware is illegal, since he's under 18 (although I am not a lawyer).

*edit* no it's not illegal, minimum age is 16.

I wonder if Formula One is a trademark, in which case, is his use of Percorso Formula One breaching it?

There is a chain of cheap French hotels called 'Formula Une' so perhaps it isn't.

"Formel Eins" was a cheezy pop show on German Telly.

Apparently F1 is not considered a trademark, as most people recognise it as the pinacle of motor racing, rather than a brand. Certainly, previous attempts to trademark F1 have failed, I don't know about "Formula One"

Would be very difficult, imagine a payment to the rights holder for every packet of plant seeds.
