The bailiffs take goods and then what?
From my perspective we produced goods for them at our cost, posted them (at our cost!) they had our goods free of charge for 30 days to sell on to tilers. They sold all of them and made a profit but decided to double their income by not paying for the actual items!!
The only people I blame for this situation is the Tile Training Centre who chose this path. At all stages they could have paid the bill from 18 months ago. They chose not to pay so were sent a warning letter after a year and a half of emails and calls. They chose not to pay so interest was added. They chose not to pay so a court action was filed. They chose not to turn up and defend themselves (they could have challenged the invoice) by not turning up to court the judgement was awarded to us and costs to them were added. And now the bailiff will attempt to collect the debt on our behalf.
If it is a Limited company (it is) bailiffs can only remove goods belonging to the company and not the individuals.
NOW FOR PART THAT HURTS:
While we all sit back and watch the costs of that debt spiral up in costs remember this cold hard fact.
If 365drills are just one of many companies executing judgement against them - and they file for bankruptcy... Read this bit below... And then read it again...
If they file for bankrupcy then the costs you are watching spiral upwards and then enforced against.... ME !
Yes you read that right. The solicitors will turn on me and will want their money, so will the courts, so will the baliffs. So I repeat as we all sit here watching that bill grow larger then if bankrupcy is filed all those charges (plus the loss of the debt) will be coming out of my pocket.
Who said business was easy or fair....
would have been nice to get sorted without the aggro, eh?
More than you can know !
