    I received a cheque for £13.58 to cover my winnings from VWD in the middle of December. They took my £20 monthly payment the first week in December. Don't suppose I will see any refund of the amount outstanding.

    What the Official receivers told some members

    "I regret I do not have control of the companys bank account as it is with the Allied Irish Bank and they do not recognise English Insolvency Law".
