You can probably see the big thread about Microland Technology being rubbish, BUT........I though a clean thread about whether they are trading or not might be useful.

FACTS:
1. The company closed its office on Dec 24th, 2004 for Christmas
2. The lines are still closed as on Jan 11th, 2005.
3. Their website was updated between Jan 8th-10th
4. Their phone line message keeps changing
5. They promised to ship components last week and systems this week.
6. They have £900 of mine and have had since Nov 11th, 2004

Are you effected?

ACTIONS
1. Call Wacthdog on 0870 010 7070, you have 40 seconds to leave a message
2. E-mail Stockport trading standards at trading.standards@stockport.gov.uk

Anymore suggestions?

Perhaps we could keep this thread for those needing to contact Microland?

(I hope this is in keeping with the Forum!)

They Have Almost Certainly Gone Into Administration!!!!

heard it from a good source

They may well have gone into Administration I've heard rumors of a couple of companies today alone!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but . . . yes I recieved a letter today from 'Unity - Corporate Recovery and Insolvency' regarding Microland Technology PLC.

Quote "Following a board meeting held on 6 january 2005 a Meeting of Creditors has been convened for 31 January 2005 at 11.00am for the purpose of placing the company into liquidation".

I suppose I'm lucky in that they only owe me £76.74, I really feel for those of you who are owed more. And they debited the money before sending me any goods - I feel really angry about this !!

The full address of the liquidator is as follows . .

Unity Corporate Recovery and Insolvency
Clive House
Clive Street
Bolton
Lancashire
BL1 1ET

Tel: 01204 395 000
Fax: 01204 377 530

I would appreciate it if someone could PM me the names/addresses of the directors - thanks.

thanks

Davey

-------------UPDATE 16:00 12/01/05----------------
I've called Unity Corporate Recovery and Insolvency and Microland have definatly stopped trading.
They've added me to a list of creditors although I'm still claiming through my card first.
I've also left a call with Stockport Trading Standards to see if any shenangins had been taking place.

I have just spoken to David at the liquidators Unity Corporate Recovery. To make a claim you have to get in touch with them and fill in a claim form. He did say that the business had no stock (all on title retainers"if you don't pay for the goods we will come and retrieve it") and no assets so it would be very unlikley that anyone will get any money out of them.

The names of the Directors are:-
Radcliffe Brown
Andrew James Percy (also the Company Sec.)
Christopher Andrew Large

I will be reporting each of them to Companies House because I believe they continued to trade when they knew the Company was insolvent, which is against the law. Hopefully this will result in a ban on becoming a future Company director normally for 4-5 years. You can ring the grass line at Companies house on 0845 6013546 or visit http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ddir/

Not much help if you're owed money but it stops them doing it to somebody else. You can get the home addresses of the directors from Companies house, if you wanted to pay them a visit, but Companies House do charge a fee about £10

I live in Stockport and have been round to the unit they occupied which is empty.
Not much else you can do!

I will happily e-mail anyone the company accounts, it cost me £6.50 aslong as you rpomise not to do anything nasty!
