  • I am trying to be optimistic and hoping that there will be enough money from their bank accounts/assets to allow them to pay all the money back they have taken/stolen/mis-placed what ever!!!:mad:
  • Hello an update from me the OP.
    Fermi's comments are correct they are in the hands of LA Business Recovery.
    For me I have joined Step change and am half way through getting update debt amounts from my creditors. It seems some creditors got paid last month but not all but all got their payment in July?
    I am also considering Equity Release through Step Change as the best way to go and am well into that process.
    Step Change have issued me an ID number and said to offer it to any creditor that I contact.
    I have got most of my creditor amounts and made some pro-rata offers based on the ratios off Bournes spread sheet, basically 60% to 70%.
    One creditor is not playing ball insisting on a minimum of 75% which will put the amount about the pro-rata figure on the total funds I will raise.
    What's the best option with them just continue to pay the minimum payment, any one got any ideas.
    Also Barkly's seem to have differing procedures for doing settlements.
    B have said it will not be a FULL & FINAL SETTLEMENT but will add on my credit file 000 as owing but acc not satisfied.
    Bcard on the other hand say the same thing but that they won't put 000 any where.
    Both say they will not pursue and will give a letter to that a effect if I pay by plastic.

    Hi all,
    I am in a similar situation here like many of you. I am wondering if the best route is to write to all my creditors myself and offer to carry on paying the payments i currently pay to them via Bournes. Thoughts?
    Since i have been on a DMP, my credit rating has shot back up over the past 5/6 years and i will do all i can to keep this from getting worse again. I have one default left on my credit report which is due to come off this December. Although, i will still owe quite a substantial amount (£20000+, i am optimistic of being able to get some full and final settlements. My plan is to save up the money myself (already saved a few thousand) and pay off my creditors as a reduced final settlement figure once all are off my credit report.
    Be warned - i believe that if i settle an account prior to the default coming off my account, i believe it will then stay on there for another 6 years after being settled which i do not want

    If anyone else has any further advice on this situation or they feel i could be doing something else to improve my position, please let me know.
  • The worst thing is that they used our client funds to fund the set up of a new company, Clicknow4jobs, which I believe they are running from Fountain St in Manchester, stealing money from poor people, then getting away with it to run another company, paid for by us! It's just a disgrace
  • I took Bournes to County Court in September 2012 for not paying my creditors. I had original copies of letters from Barclaycard, RSB and others stating they received nothing for months. In his wisdom, amidst Bournes lawyer pathetically pretending I was intimidating him (he told the judge he feared for his safety) the judge ruled in favour of Bournes, stating that a photocopy of a printout of a computer program called 'Casetracker' was adequate evidence that Bournes was paying my creditors and totally disregarded my letters of evidence from banks. What a joke! Anyway, at least Michelle Gilbourne and cronies have eventually got what they rightly deserve. Or at least I sincerely hope so.....

    In answer to previous posts, any of you guys who were with Bourne's, (or still are with any similar companies), and are thinking of self managing your DMP,


    Do so, its really simple to do, and gives you back control, and piece of mind knowing that your creditors have been paid, and that no 3rd party firm can simply go bust, taking all your cash with them.


    There is a little leg work to begin with, but once payments are all agreed, and set up, you can simply pay via online banking every month, at the press of a key, simples !!!!!!
