Boomstreet (previously Ncrowd) out of business

Bougainvillea · 19 November 2015 at 9:30AM

I have a pre-paid voucher with Boomstreet but their website states they have ceased trading. I will contact my credit card company but any other ideas?

Please could this post remain on Grabbit, as the Boomsteet/Ncrowd offers were similar to Groupon etc. and could have been on the Grabbit forum. Also as a reminder that companies can go out of business.

I don't see anything saying that? Presumably you need to log in and/or try to redeem it before being told?

Can you copy/paste or screencap what it says?

It had a message this morning on the uk website saying it had ceased trading and contact details for the liquidator. Now it goes to the US site

Was able to get a cached version of the message that was on the uk site this morning
The Directors very much regret that they have taken a decision to cease trading. The Company is due to hold meetings of members and creditors to consider placing the Company into Liquidation on 9th December 2015, with AABRS Limited instructed to convene such meetings.

Had never heard if this company before this thread, so is this likely to be a problem for large numbers of people?

Ncrowd (that recently became Boomstreet) had been offering deals for a number of years. So its likely to a large problem. They were previously KGBdeals.

I had money in my account from a deal i had purchased but didnt use due to them not paying the company for a previous deal.

I have contacted paypal in the hope of getting a refund.

I hope all the businesses involved manage to get there money back too as many of these sites make companies wait until all the vouchers are collected before paying out.

Did you get a response from Paypal??

I am in a similar situation (had credit from a previous failed offer) and have sent Paypal a message but not had a reply yet

I am in similar position and would be interested to know how Paypal respond.

I have seen just seen this thread. :mad:
I contacted ncrowd in mid September about requesting a refund for a hotel break I'd bought in July as the hotel has been flooded during the summer and was unable to take any bookings.
ncrowd said they were unable to refund me as it had been more than 14 days since I'd made the booking, so they credited my account with the amount due - £84.55. I wasn't happy as it wasn't my fault the hotel couldn't take the booking.

Interestingly when I click the link of the booking confirmation email it takes me to boom street but I'm unable to log in there.
I can't remember which credit card I bought it with but just about to go check my credit card statements, Any advice how I can proceed to get my money back?

TIA
