Well, interestingly the TV must trawl this site for potential stories as I have now had contact from them asking if I would be interested in this story being featured! This might speed up B&Q!!!

For a bit of free advertising they'll probably build you a new school now, and give you a big second hand boat.

thanks this story has really cheered me up and shows there is still hope for the little people against these giant companies whose senior bosses are so removed from real life and issues. 500 bucks is probably what the CEO of this company spends on a business dinner!

Chances of this actually happening, nil.

And your point is? I'm a Barrister, and this is completely standard practice to achieve the payment of a debt in circumstances where a Defendant is ignoring legal proceedings. Believe it or not, large, completely solvent firms do actually get winding-up orders made against them if they fail to respond, which they then have to get set aside by paying the debt and applying to the court. That's why we do it, you see: it tends to get Defendants' attention.

then you ought to know you cant make a bankruptcy order against them for less than £750 so it is a waste of time.

Before getting snarky at users who are actually trying be helpful, try reading the thread properly: the OP didn't say it was a 500 pound claim, someone else, trying to be flippant, did. Winding up orders are effective ways of dealing with companies that ignore legal proceedings.
