ScoobySport Cease Trading : Do you have an outstanding order, etc
Hi All
It is inevitable that there will be some problems caused by scoobysport closing their doors.
Can we keep the posts to this thread.
This is not for speculation, or comment about conduct, or what should have happened, shouldn't have happened, etc.. it is merely to support those who have outstanding issues and need to raise them.
Anything that is legally problematic for scoobynet will be removed without warning or explanation.
The main purpose is to help each other out and offer advice, etc.
All the best
Simon

Good question.
I'll tell you what. As long as everything can be structure in the way Fatman has done.. a simple question / fact, etc without any emotive comments, I'll do my best to get in touch with Pete next week and put all the questions to him to see if he has any input.
All the best

Just to add a bit of detail. A while back, one of the fixings for my centre section sheared off (H&S Scoobysport version). Pete just directed me straight to H&S who honoured the guarantee, repaired the centre section and refitted it - no hassle. I would hope that this would continue, as I believe it is H&S that are providing the 25 year guarantee. Can't comment on the newer Janspeed version of the Scoobysport exhaust as I have had no dealings with them.

I got an Ecutek re-map and was going back in the summer to re-map after more mods were fitted. How do i prove i have had the software installed. Or do I have to pay 700 quid again for another re-map. I have received no paper work. Thats even if you are supposed too.
Im led to beleive Pat will honour these still as he was/is freelance.
Cheers in advance simon.

If you have placed an order and paid by credit card, money has been taken but no goods delivered, you need to take this up with your credit card company in the first instance. The Official Receiver's Office should also be notified, number above.
If Scooby Sport is a sole trader or partnership then liability for debts lies with the partner(s) eg. if you have paid by cheque or cash. Again the Official Receiver's Office will want to know of this, when the transaction took place and subsequent relevant events if any. eg promises of delivery.
When I had unsatisfactory dealings with S/Sport it was an unincorporated company ie it was not a limited company. I do not know if that is the current situation but it is easy enough for any interested party to confirm.
Where a business is a sole trader or partnership the liability rests with the partner(s) and it is possible to pursue them personally. ie at their home address(es) and once a County Court Judgement has been obtained a Bailiff or Sherriff's Officer can distrain on their personal possessions. It is also possible to take a charge against their property if the debt is large enough to warrant it. Sometimes, in these situations, creditors join together to share the cost of pursuing the action.
Generally, people in this position often file for bankruptcy.
Obviously when a business ceases trading there are loose ends and odd outstanding orders but in cases where there has been a systematyic running up of debt after it was obvious the operation was insolvent, then the Official Receiver can and will take action if petitioned by a number of creditors.

No, not conflicting. According to your website the problems you had were in Jan/Feb '00, when they wouldn't have been LTD . The CH site says that SS became incorporated in Jul '02.

I'm sure all of Scoobysports previous suppliers will honour any warranty issues that may arise, we certainly will.
As far as the financial side of things goes, as Harvey says, its the credit card companies and the receivers.

Outstanding order
Backbox for MY02 ordered by credit card on 27/2/04. Money charged to the account on 6/3/04. Phoned on 19th to be told that exhaust would be with me by 24th. No goods received.
Have spent 1/2 hour on the phone to 3 different departments at the CC company, who want me to provide evidence that Scoobysport has ceased trading. This is proving difficult as Companies House website not up to date.
It seems unlikely that my order is still being processed / will be honoured by Scoobysport2.
Shall I start looking to buy elsewhere?

Point the CC companies at the Official Receivers. They should be able to confirm.
PS: note that Scooby Sport Limited on the Companies House website is not the Scoobysport trading company

I *think* that ScoobySport2, as in what is listed at http://www.scoobysport.co.uk/ is NOTHING to do with the 'old' ScoobySport, ie; Pete Croney's company.
Simon/Shaun, could you clarify this rather important point, as I know you have mentioned, well Simon has, that he's involved in the new venture.

Hi Guys
Markus is correct. The new scoobysport, is simple a completely seperate company that decided to buy 3 assets which are : the scoobysport name, and the web urls.
The only relation that the new scoobysport has to the old scoobysport is that the money raised by selling these assets will go towards paying the creditors of the old company.
The two are completely and wholey unrelated in every way.
All the best
