    microlandtechnology.com are they still in business?

    -------------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.


    ========From another Forum==========
    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

    mailto:info@ubsg.co.uk

    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    HAS ANYONE GOT ANOTHER CONTACT NUMBER FOR THIS COMPANY, APART FROM 0871 2770366
    CHEERS!
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    microlandtechnology.com are they still in business?

    I've had no joy contacting them and they currently still claim to be closed for Christmas opening today.....

    They've pretty much robbed me of just under a grand so far (a little stretched)....

    Has anyone dealt with them recently?

    not recently but a couple of months ago they refunded me the money they owed be after about 4months of waiting and getting trading standards involved - if you paid with your credit card you should be covered by them

    Yes.
    I'm going to do something serious soon.
    I've actually had Ok e-mails from them before Xmas...
    It tipped me over the edge when they were closed for the Christmas day and and and and and and
    today I call up and they say "Hello we're closed for Christmas please call back on Jan 4th"
    Thing is I literally haven't had the time to arse around more than I have been.

    At least I stopped one order.....

    I'll keep ya posted.....

    4mths seems to be average!

    oooh am I glad I sold the MP3 player on ebay and the laptop to my dad and cleared 100 quid profit. The thought of dealing with these people on a return was enough to give me nightmares.

    I nearly sold it on the boards but it didn't happen
    I did pay by credit card, however I'm not too sure where it stands as they supplied me witht he goods and I returned them.
    I think they're still in business just very bad customer service.
    I'm going to try one more phone call then a letter....

    Friday January 7th, 2005 ------------Diary Entry
    Called up MicroD today, got the same automated voice "Thank you for calling we're currently closed for Christmas, however our website is still open...."
    Thinking of all those poor people that have ordered from their website, what would you think if you'd ordered a system....
    I've now written a letter, snail mail might just be the answer
