Be aware Jesspos are likely to go into Administration possibly today, if you have any vouchers or any insurance vouchers etc etc get yourself down there today

Oops, posted this in the wrong forum before but Be aware Jesspos are likely to go into Administration possibly today, if you have any vouchers or any insurance vouchers etc etc get yourself down there today

Just doing my morning news reading and came across an article on the BBC news website and in the Guardian saying Comet are close to appointing an administrator, possibly today. Its shame for the 6000 that might lose their jobs.

Following the confirmation of administration today,which will be from next week,We await a statement from administrators giving information to customers with pre orders which have been paid for.returns and warranties etc etc. Comets warranties were underwritten by The Warranty Group who will still have a responsibility to customers irrespective of Comet going into administration. Their website; http://uk.thewg.com/product-warranties/electrical/index.html Their Customer helpline number for the UK is 01594 863000 Customers with vouchers should use these ASAP. If you paid for goods by card you may be entitled to raise a claim under s75 of the Consumer Credit Act. Please feel free to post below if you have been affected. As reported by the BBC; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20164228 Comet's customer care team is handling customer inquiries on 0844 8009595. But dont hold your breath if what we have seen from their customer services for the last 3 years is anything to go by,

If like me you are hacked off by the growing trend for insurance companies to charge absorbent amounts for trivial paperwork changes or cancelling a policy then please sign this e-petition for govt regulation. Not mine, I just stumbled upon it - looks like it could do with some support so please sign an publicise if you agree. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/26711

I recently acquired my credit file and found a CCJ on there for £5000. This it turns out was for Property Possession, i was renting though :S The twist in all this is that the company went into administration when i lived there, i moved out a month later. How they get a figure of £5000 is beyond me. What can i do about this CCJ? I can prove i wasnt living there on the judgment date. Anyone?

Apologies if this has been asked and answered previously ( i have searched). I had a loan from GE Money with PPI, i wrote the 1st letter claiming miss-selling and they have replied, that the broker is resopnsible. The broker is Karcus ltd who they state is in administration. GE state that i should contact the administrators or the financial services compensation schemes. Is thsi correct?

Hi i have contacted London Scottish about ppi and have just had a reply off them to confirm that they owe me £427 from before they went into administration and as it is from before jan 2005 i am one of there creditors. My question is will i get paid or will i be on a long list of creditors and recieve payments in dribs and drabs if any ? Any help would be appreciated.

Can my landlord charge for administration on my ground rent demand ... I have a set ground rent of £25 per year .. I have a demand for £28.75 .. I dont mind paying the extra .. but is this within his rights? The demand is just for the ground rent .. also does he have to include a legal statement of my rights as a leaseholder, im sure what he has added is outdated, it reads 'for the purpose of the landlord & tenant act 1987 section 47/48 etc...

Hi, Not 100% sure of my rights/obligations here, so any help would be greatly appreciated! The LA which my LL used to manage the property on an AST which had fallen into periodic tenancy vanished without trace at the end of February. At the start of March, I recieved a telephone call from the LL informing me that no further payments were to be made to the LA, and that she had not received the rent payment for February. The LL confirmed that she had spoken to the LA before they 'vanished' and that they infoermed her they had recieved the rent, and would pay into heer account. According to the LL this did not happen and she was unable to contact them again. The LL insisted upon a new AST being signed - I did not see the purpose of this, and was loath to do so as my LL has a r3eputation for being 'difficult', but LL stated she would serve notice if I did not sign, and as I did not have a security deposit or moving costs for a new property, I felt I had no choice but to sign. As soon as the new AST was signed, my LL became the LL from hell. She began making demands for receipts for rental payments going back to December 2010, insisted upon late fee charges being paid for December, January and February payments (the rent since August 2009 has been paid either on time or up to 14 days late on occasion, without any notice of any issues regarding this), threatening court action for rent arrears if receipts were not produced etc. Whilst I understood her frustration with the LA, and would have been happy to work with her to get any paperwork that would help her in her claim against the LA, I was shocked and immediately defensive to this seemingly unfair and overly aggressive stance. In subsequent correspondence, the LL has stated that the LA are in administration and made continuous reference to this matter also being a 'criminal matter'. Upon searching rigorously, I managed to locate the majority of my receipts bar one for the amount of £160.00 (I have a dreadful feeling it was located in one of my books which I have since sold in a car boot sale...). LL has stated that according to the Official Receivers there is no record of £160.00 being paid, which I know to be untrue. Several letters later and she is now instructing me that if the £160.00 'arrears' and the 'outstanding late fees' are not paid within 7 days, she will make a claim at County Court. She has also issued a letter titled 'notice of legal proceedings' in which she states that her solicitor is 'looking into a claim for misrepresentation'. A couple of internet searching hours later, and I have my response to that particular letter. I asked the LL to provide details of the Official Receivers several times, as i suspected that the LA were not in adminstration, but had just vanished, and she was attempting to recover whatever losses she had by making demands for payments I could not provide receipts for. Luckily I found the majority, but this last £160.00 is proving difficult! She has made continuous references to the 'Official Receivers' and the contact she has had with them, but upon pushing her for the fourth time for the name of such, her response was as follows: 'In response to your queries regarding the Official Receivers for (LA) I have asked permission to pass their details onto you. As you are not a creditor they have specifically asked me not to do so at this time'. This actually made me laugh, as such information is a matter of public record, and this proved to me that she has not in fact had any contact with a receiver of any kind. I have paid for reports on companies house today, and they confirm that the LA is in liquidation, not administration. The reports were also only filed on 14.04.11, with the 'wind down' meeting having taken place on 31.03.11. As such, the claims my LL has made about speaking to Official Receivers before the company was even in liquidation are clearly lies. I obviously also now have the liquidators details What I would like help with is where I stand on the matter of the missing receipt for £160.00? Does my LL have the right to so aggressively chase for this, even though I have already paid it? Also, does she have the right to begin back-dating late fees when there was no issue raised in the past regarding late payments? Any help is greatly appreciated, I have had to become a rental expert in the last few months, what with the numerous claims about legal and criminal proceedings, as well as several repair issues (a leaking roof is 'non-urgent' according to the LL and the black mould spreading under my bedroom windows, up the wall, and around the back of the wardrobe is 'not harmful and should be cleaned off the wall with a mild detergent'; this advice comes without any testing of the mould, and without her even seeing it!). I have managed to find my own answers on most of the curveballs my LL has thrown at me, but I'm a little stuck on this one! Many thanks in anticipation

I worked for a tech company as a software developer for 2 and a half years. On the 16th February I (along with 9 others) were placed on redundancy consultation. On the 23rd February we were made redundant, and paid 70% of our wages for January. I was told on that same day my redundancy and the outstanding wages owed to me would be paid to me on the 28th Feburary. On the 28th February some staff members (who are still with the company) were paid in full for January and February. When I contacted the company to ask why I hadn't been paid the money owed to me, I was told that the company was suffering from a short term cash flow problem, but it was owed millions by a large UK mobile network operator (and that the money owed was not disputed by the network operator), and that I would be paid in the near future. On the 4th March 2011 the company sent me an email saying an administrator had been appointed, and that he/she would be in contact with me in the near future. I was also informed by former colleagues that they have been told by the company that they would have to enter into a new employment contract with a different company to protect themselves. After not being paid in January 2011, a company meeting was held (all employees attended). At the meeting I asked two of the directors present if the company was trading insolvent. They assured me they had spoken to their lawyers and that the company was not. My questions are: 1. Can the company simply write off the money it owes me (30% of January's wages, 100% of February's wages up to and including the 23rd February, £800 redundancy entitlement) or can this liability be transferred over to the new company the employees who remain at the company are being transferred to? I heard something about a recent case in which a judge ruled that monies owed to employees who were made redundant from Company A (which was dissolved/liquidated) would be owed to those employees by Company B (a Phoenix company - same people/management from Company A) - citing "TUPE"(?) as the grounds for the ruling. 2. Is it not discrimination if the company pays some employees and not others? If it is, how can I take action against the company for doing this? 3. Can the veil of incorporation be lifted and the directors held personally liable for knowingly trading whilst insolvent (they must have known the company was (cash-flow) insolvent as the company was unable to pay creditors/staff on time). 4. How can I find out who the administrator is, and am I permitted to contact him? Any help would be really appreciated as I have not (yet) been able to secure employment elsewhere and my landlord is asking me to leave the apartment.
