The jimboomba times.

It's one thing to cancel your account on Facebook, but it's another just to shut up shop and don't give an explanation to your customers or workers. And I'm not the only one that they HAVE screwed over there were people meant to be picking there camper up this week and obviously couldn't for obvious reasons. Pretty sure you would feel screwed over to if you have up all that money and then got nothing for it. Yes it is all speculation at this point but how else are we supposed to feel? Great if they are at some awards thing and they call us on Monday and apologise that would be the best outcome but highly doubtful at this point.

I drove past their shop last Saturday and Sunday.

I can't remember which day I saw this but the roller door was open but the gates closed, there were two trailers out side and several inside. There was a large ute maybe f truck or gmc there with a large pantec trailer on the back loading items inside like they were taking things away.

Hope this may be of some help and doesn't confuse the matter further.

Good luck.

The Jimboomba times just said that they have heard rumours that its going into receivership. But they can't confirm it. But ASIC have no information for them going into receivership.

If you snot him you get arrested... If you stand out the front of his house with a sign saying "these thieves stole $10,000 from my family!"  No-one can touch you.  Would look good on sensationalist 'current affairs', so-called TV.
If he hands over your ct or the 10 grand then you walk away happy.

Not sure, but that house is owned by the couple stated, but that doesn't mean they live there, so once again, ask nicely.

They own no other property in those names, but could own stuff under a trust or something like that.

Luke Mr Mac's eviendnce above could be very important should they go into recievership. Receivers take a very dim view to proprietors slipping away with assets or paying "favoured" accounts before calling them in. I would suggest you get as accurate details as you can of Mr Mac and then should you be able to contact the owners this may help your case ;-) otherwise it will help the receivers.

Good luck.

We have tried calling since last Monday no answer at home or business, that is there property that they live and they have taken all the jimboomba campers to this place and locked it all up. They have also cleared out there business which has been confirmed today for us. They told a customer that did walk up to there house door that they have apointed a Jason to admin it all, but they not give any more information, and there bank commonwealth knows nothing of it. So looks more and more like they have shut doors and going to sell all there stuff before the banks do work it all out! Gutless to not even talk to the customers or give money or cts back!

Someone mentioned earlier that they might be on CT of the year or some other activity.
Well, judging by the actions described above (or in some cases lack of action) they won't be getting invited to squat in the future. Regardless of whether there is some 'family crisis' or whatever, as a business that is holding $ from people there are some things they just should not do. In this day & age there is no excuse for not at least putting a message om their phone or diverting it.
And on the topic of progress payments, how long does it really take to build a CT? It's not like a house that can take up to 6 months and cost about $200k. For a $20000 trailer these guys should be able to wear the materials & labour until delivery.

And the ato has changed the tax laws so if they have not put in payg tax installments the ato can appoint administrators and hold directors personally respondsabile for wages, entilitlement and tax payments

So what you'll find is they have bleed the company dry to pay back the ato first so they aren't personally respondsabile, then they wind it up, go into admin and keep all there personal assets

It's getting harder and harder

Most companies should be trade with a minimum $1 assets to $1 liability, we just got done by a business that had $.0000007 asset to $1 liability ........ No money for me ???

Whilst I understand you are all sitting behind a keyboard it shows why they may possibly have done a runner! None of this helps Luke or any other people who are unsure of their money now.
My best suggestion would to speak to the authorities and get some legal advice and follow it, any threats, intimidation or harassment of the company owners may turn against you in the long run.

Luke, I can't imagine how you and your wife feel right now, and I hope I never end up in the same situation, but I hope you get some sort of favourable resolution to this and can get out camping with your family soon.
