But do you want to spend any more time/money on this until the water becomes clearer?

I have just requested Judgement on 2 contracts. No doubt the claims will not be paid without spending further time/money.

It would be usefull to know other peoples progress via the bailiffs.
Are they managing to collect any money at the moment?
Does anyone have a new address for TMO for the bailiffs to visit?
Does TMO have any assetts for the bailiffs to seize?
If they are obtaining cheques, are they clearing?
Are there any other alternatives to the bailiffs (e.g. if it were an individual we could apply for an attachment of earnings)?

Yes. If a the company cannot or will not pay you, you can petition the court to have it wound-up.

I'm surprised that (apparently) nobody has done this already.

If, as is being alleged on this thread, the directors of a company are dissipating its assets to prevent creditors being paid, it's the wisest thing to do.

The directors, if they do have the money and don't want to have their company liquidated forcibly (and particularly if they don't want to have a court-appointed receiver examining their accounts and the manner in which they have been trading) will usually pay up rapidly to prevent it happening.

If you want to find out how to do it, HERE is a good place to start.

Liquidation (and Phoenixism) is hardly an issue these days - some use it as a matter-of-fact method of clearing debts.

The object of doing this to a company is to obtain your money from it before the directors dissipate the funds and then liquidate the company themselves (without being investigated and leaving you with no money to collect).

I have been wondering too if anyone else received the letter that diggerunited got last Friday. Thought everyone would have got them on the same day if they had been sent to every customer. Wondered if I didn't because my contract has ended ? ( even though I got no money from them)

i understand that people within the industry are aware of it, as previously mentioned as well as them there are also two or three others all of whom worked on the cashback incentive schemes who are also suffering with the same fate.

Frustrating to see that their website is still up and running, and presumably still taking orders and money. The cashbacks seem to have vanished :rolleyes: and there's just the bog standard network offers.

A couple of problems as far as I am concerned:-

1. How do I prove to the court that the company cannot pay its debts?
The court will regard a company as being unable to pay its debts if any of the following occurs:
A creditor obtains judgment against the company and execution is unsatisfied; in other words the sheriff or bailiff is unable to seize enough assets to clear the debt. You can get the forms to issue a claim for judgment from your local court or from the Court Service website at www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk.

This means that I have to go down the bailiff route first.

2. Issuing the petition
The petitioner should prepare:

• the original petition;
• 3 copies of the petition (4 if the company has been dissolved)
• the original affidavit/witness statement;
• a cheque payable to 'H.M.C.S.’ for £860. This amount includes the court fee to issue the petition of £190 plus the official receiver's deposit of £670;
• if you are attending the court in person, rather than posting your documents and fee, you will also have to pay a search fee of £5 in Companies Court in London.

3. What is the procedure for presenting a winding-up petition?

To ensure that all legal requirements are met, you usually need to instruct a solicitor to deal with issuing a winding-up petition. The winding up process is not simply a matter of completing a petition and presenting it to the court. A court hearing can result in costs being awarded against either party. For example, costs may be awarded against you if the court believes you have used the winding up procedure inappropriately where the company has good reason for saying it does not owe the money.

More fees to chase debts totalling just under £400

Things seem to be stacked up in favour of the criminals in this country.
