Lost a load of money

[lloyde]

Not sure if you all know the Tamiya Sand Scorcher car, well, always wanted one when i was a kid, never did get one, but once they were re-released I saved up and purchased one from Models In Motion. I wasn't planning to use the car, just display it, so asked Nick at MIM to spray the car professionally so it looked the same as the box. Now I brought the car in June and he did say it would be a while before he could get round to spraying it, fine I said. Now I asked that they hold onto the kit and send the kit once the spraying had been done. Anyway, every time i phoned to chase, same reason, he needed dry weather to spray the lacquer. MIM went into receivership 2 weeks ago, no car delivered, ive lost £380 altogether, im trying to get it resolved with my bank but not hopefull. Its very upsetting this has happened and I somehow think they never had the goods in the first place or kept me strung along as they knew what was about to happen.

Hope you get it resolved soon.

Hope you get it resolved, But don't hold your breath.

It's a real shame this has happened, and you gave out so much money.

Good luck.

Sorry to hear that mate. I had the same thing happen to me with a £400 snowboard that never turned up. Didn't get my money back from Paypal either as I should of made a claim before 30 days which I didn't know about.

Even if paid via Visa Debit you may get your money back

Sorry to hear of your misfortune - as its such a long time I guess even if paid for with a credit card you would be unlikely to be able to claim it... I thought paypal gave you 60 days to submit a claim...

[danch]

Chargeback covers up to 120 days, so if paid via visa debit etc then best start a claim now as good chance of getting money back ;-)

Don't give up at the first hurdle.

Sad to hear:(,i dont know how the [EMAIL="B@st@rds"]B@st@rds[/EMAIL] sleep at night, good luck with your claim.

Thanks for all your support. I will try the chargeback, the only problem is when I made the phone order it was moe than 120 days ago. The incident has really upset me because of the way the shop kept me hanging on, apparently they have failed to pay the suppliers, etc, so they probably thought that if they also fail to pass on the goods, they may survive. Not so...!. This I will put down to experience, I just hope the culprits are pleased with themsleves......

[quote][B]Conditions and requirements of chargeback[/B]

The main requirement for compensation is evidence that there has been a breach of contract.
There is also a 120-day time limit on claims. This time limit starts from the day you are aware of a problem. In the case of tangible goods that you've purchased from a shop or online it would therefore be from the day you receive the items.[/quote]

Make your claim NOW! You have 120 days from being aware of them going bust and it being a problem by the look of that :)
