Sent phone to Earthmobile and now they have ceased trading

Jinxii

My boyfriend sent his Blackberry to Earth Mobile recycling and was supposed to receive about £65. He received e-mail confirmation and then they said his cheque should be in the post. Three weeks later and no cheque, so he starts phoning and e-mailing, but no reply. The mailboxes are full. Today the site says Earth Mobile has ceased trading. Any advice as to how to get the phone back? We're students and can't really afford not to, although I'm not hopeful.

This has happened to me too, does anyone know what happens next and if we are likely to ever see my phone or money again? Thanks

Argh, bu99er me, they may have save the earth, but not them sens!

As for posters, one assumes now you are creditors of the said company

Not much you can do if you have agreed to accept the money other than being unsecured creditors.

You could raise an argument that the title had not transferred until payment was made.
