spikey Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 A while back, somebody asked who pays the insolvency practitioner's fees if there's no money in the kitty. I didn't know either, so very much FWIW I've just asked an insolvency practitioner, and the answer I got is that if the company had no assets whatsoever, in theory their fee would be paid by the directors personally. 2 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In joining a forum you tacitly accept the rule of the mods. If you don't accept it you risk sanctions. So by all means think they are wrong, but what benefit is there to you - or the rest of us - in telling them? Some of us who have been here a few years see the patient moderating effort that goes into making RMweb what it is, and we are grateful. I am told other forums are available. 10 38 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Still in original packaging, undisturbed - does that mean any / all bearings and moving metal surfaces will be absolutely bone dry then? To pay 50% on top of the already exaggerated going rate, and then have to pull everything apart through lack of maintenance is sort of a kick in the @#$ls quite on top of that price!! Even if I don't currently have a permanent circuit once I receive anything 'mine' I have to open up and 'have a go' - that's what they're made for isn't it? !!

Caledonian Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Barring any new revelations and exciting complications this thread appears to be winding down, but given the amount of popcorn consumed, can we perhaps look forward to a decent article based on it in BRM, rather than a bare paragraph?

Saying what? Aside from the business is closing down and you can register with the receivers, there's nothing much to say. Cut out all the froth and speculation from this thread and it's barely even a paragraph. "RMwebbers get excited and write lots of posts" does not a meaty story make. If anyone fancies researching and writing the history of DJM, there's a lot of interviews to be carried out and at least one trip to China. I doubt you'd ever collate anything that would keep everyone happy as there seem to be several versions to many parts of the story depending on who you listen to. Maybe it could be done, but not within the budget of a model railway magazine. 3 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the business is closing down and you can register with the receivers, there's nothing much to say... Why not? That would be fine. Anyone that has put money towards DJM could have the facts, as far as they are known, and what to do about it in a simple paragraph or two. I pity anyone who has to trawl through the 42 pages of this thread to find something that may be pertinent to them. RMWeb is great, but in cases like this, the extra froth is just annoying. Understandable, but annoying nonetheless. Fake ebay ads, really? I'm still waiting for a Trump meme and for someone to blame the collapse of DJM on Iran. A simple paragraph in print would do no harm, and may help those modellers who don't "do" the internet. Some of us seem to think that every modeller is online and has a RMWeb login. I think we're but a small percentage of the UK modelling commnunity. Maybe BRM reaches those places that RMWeb doesn't? 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
