THE SCUM OF THE TURBINE MODELLING TRADE IS BACK

[Bell Bloke]

For the people to help the people.......
This might help folks in buisness and at home not being ripped off by dodgy companies.......You know, to warn folks of the kind of people who sell turbine stuff that never arrives etc, etc.
Anyway I've been thinking for a while that there should be a site called 'BANKBUST.COM' or something like that. On this site ordinary folks would be able to put information about companies they had delt with that had gone bust on them and then restarted under a similar name. They could also post names of directors and alias'etc.
The site could be broken into search sections, ie types of buisness etc.
Contributers would only be allowed to post information within strict guidlines, ie no gripes about faulty products or bad service are allowed.
The idea of this site would be to allow folks to be aware of a 'PEOPLES' black list of companies that they may be about to do buisness with.
It is clear to me that for years company bosses take money from folks, go bust, and then start again, and so on.
The law doesn't stop them, so could this be a useful tool? Maybe.....

This is totally amazing!!! Due to family health problems, etc., I've been "low profiling" it for awhile. I come back into the Freak and find that "if nothing changes, nothing changes,"....or, "if you keep doing the same things, you keep getting the same results."

So, this chap is still among us??? Good to see that good folks have long memories.

what was interesting that he has now moved premises, the contact number area code began with 0207 which is a london area dialing code, the bext way to avoid trade standards is to shut your business and move elsewhere under a different name,
all debt accrued with the other company closes with the other company..
we used to get a lot of accounts do it when i sold Certain medical products, they would have a good credit rating, order 20 - 30k of product, wait for 60 days after invoice was due, we would file a legal issue, they would declare bankrupcy, and then open up within 2 weeks under a new name which was LTD, and sell the stock they never had to pay for... and make a good 20K profit...

I think now loop holes have tightend slightly so it is not as easy to do that anymore, but being LTD you can shut down and change your company name..
