U can file a court action against him as long as u know his name. Also I would do it in the town where he lives as it will be in the paper then also.

Hello Micheal,

I have not done a runner, im working as hard as i can to get the rest of your money together.

I paid you £260 so far, and sent you a cheque from my boss for the remainder which you said you didnt recieve. I only had contact with him last week to ask him to cancel the cheque. I have the weight of the world on my shoulders, so i havent been checking emails or coming on here as everybody hates me, it just makes me feel more like doing something stupid so im beavering away in the background trying to get things together rather than promise any more datess that i cant make. I never planned to "rip off" anyone and i know i have broken dates i have set to pay off the rest. Everytime i get the money together, i get another bailiff knocking on the door. I cant even take a tenner out of the cash machine without asking the bank for permission. Its coming to you i assure. I have had a payment request from paypal for the original balance so i dont know whats going on there.

Yeah im a loser and i cant do anything right, makes me sort of wonder whats the point. I feel like going up to the loft and opening the gun cabinet, seems like my only option at the moment. Im getting about ten calls a day for money owed from the business, including travel im working 68 hours a week, i now weigh less than 9 stone and im living off beans and toast to pay off my debts. And i am trying, i dont know what else i can do.

If you want to talk to me and If anyone else needs to get hold of me for something ive forgotten ( pretty sure i know who i owe what to tho) or just to have a pop you can get hold of me on 07752254351

nathan

This is very disheartening to read, one of the things I really liked about this forum was its community spirit and things like this only serve to damage that and the trust we put in other suppliers, which are mostly small businesses supplying a niche market which in the current climate can only be extremely challenging.

Just one of the prime reasons for choosing the Haynes is the option to build it on a budget surely, which puts a kit car in reach of those who may not have surplus disposable income (that's me for sure).

I'm prepared to be 'flamed' for this but if this is an isolated case then wouldn't it be nice if one of the remaining suppliers stepped in and offered replacements at a heavily discounted price, I for one would be happy to make a donation.

It's a shame to see someone's build threatened through no fault of their own, as I said at the beginning this is a bit of a community and surely everyone could get together on this one

If on the other hand this is just the tip of the iceberg then I doubt there is much we can do

NB I should just mention that what I've said above is based on 'the face of it' I don't know full details of the individual transaction.

Whatever happens mgglep, I wish you the best of luck with both the current situation and your build.

Good on you for replying Nathan,

I know how much you put into that venture from when we spoke, its a sign of the times that people making luxury or bespoke items just cant make enough money to survive.

there will always be problems and unfortunately this what were seeing here isnt nathans fault its just a side effect of the failure of the business, people making it personal doesnt help.
