Please dont lock this topic as there are interested people.

After many many months trying to contact the guy he actually rang me about 10 minutes ago.

It may be a little more complicated as Classic went bump in Oct 2013 and he went into voluntary
personally in Dec 2013 but then I am no accountant.

I found it strange that as a creditor I had not been contacted by any receiver and made this point.

I also made the point that the debts went back to 2012.

I MAKE THE POINT THAT I AM NOT SLAGGING THE GUY OFF but I am told he has saitisfied most
folks he owed money to even to building scooters with his own money.

I still dont have a phone number as it was witheld but it may help put the record straight. As
another guy said on the forum ti is not the amount that matters.

Its only 2 or 300.
The guy sounds genuine and at least had the balls to ring me.

However I am interested if what he has told me is on the level hence the post.

IF this is the company, then it is in liquidation:-

That being the case as it is a LIMITED Company, then the Director has no legal obligation to do anything as the Company is a seperate legal entity.

Its a matter for the liquidator who now has control over all the Companies assets.

And if he hasn't named you as a creditor, you'll not hear from them. Not that you should worry, creditors only usually get back pennies in each pound if they are lucky.

Not that I know anything about these matters but if the company is in liquidation and the receivers have taken his assets how come he has kept all his stock, last I heard he was set up again with all his stock building bikes again.

They usually put the old stock from the f@@ked company into the new company, before they pop the old one. Then all the creditors get f@@k all and the owner carries on trading.

As I understand it a liquidator can auction the stock and sometimes it can be bought by new business at a fraction of the new cost especially if it's done out of the area and you keep it quiet so no competitors can out bid you.
