After having lost $82k last month with a warranty claim on a machine I own , I know how much it hurts .

A funny quote from my solicitor and barrister " justice is never fair "  ... I thought it was funny since that 1 day cost me $10k ..lol

The more I deal with humans .. the more I love my dogs

Good luck with your future

I don't have any faith in receiver's either. I was working for a company when they arrived. They told us all would be ok and kept us working and paid us. When they found there was nothing much to sell, they sold what they could at a pittance to the owners girlfriend. We lost our holiday pay and super because he wasn't bankrupted.
I hope this all turns out ok. I feel sorry for the ones that have lost money and think the laws are lame.  :cheers:

the other thing, is as bad as it is for the consumer, i bet there is alot of other companies/suppliers/subby's that will be well and truly out of pocket. Not the first company to go under like this, and wont be the last either unfortunately

Do we know the total number of My Swaggers who have been impacted by this?

I would love to help out in some way - maybe if we all donated $10 to a slush fund to help Luke and others out? It would only be a small impost on us, but a huge relief for others?

My wife is rather ill and has just had another Op to hopefully clear her of all the nasty stuff. Times are relatively tough but always keen to help someone who has been dealt a Shitty deal. Will watch this space, top idea by the way.

Thanks so much everyone for wanting to help us out. It means a lot, my wife and I have have had to save hard for the camper and still very dissapointed at what had happened. We will endeavor to eventually get a camper as that is what we love doing and we were really looking forward to taking our 1 year old and when we have out new baby it was going to make it much easier camping in a camper trailer. Thanks everyone for your help. Will keep you posted.

Luke when we seen you and your young family we couldnt help to feel sorry for what you are going thru as we have a similar age daughter ,son in law and young grandkids in Brissy and like you they have to save hard to get what they want.I still think they stuped to very low morals in the end and unless im wrong were prepared to take deposits and not build .You want to bring that up at that meeting.You might have read in previous post of mine thats exactly what they were going to do to us at the start of this month.

Put me down for a donation To the cause if we can get it up and running. :-) Also maybe once everything is confirmed, the swaggers affected can let us know what needs to be done. whether its a tent or an entire trailer. Once we know where people stand, perhaps some of the manufacturers on here could help out with something at a discounted rate? Then we all chip in a bit, be it ten dollars or whatnot and hopefully the poor people affected by this situation can at least get out camping with the families and see this great country of ours  ;D

My two cents, but seriously though, I'll make a donation.

Cheers

He didn't loose the full value of the camper.  Not everything needs to be negative.

Any money given with no product given is a loss .... it is a negative  ... can't see how you can see it differently , no matter how positive you want to be

You, sir, are a gentleman. Don't be too concerned about not hearing anything yet. I'm sure they are still coming to terms with what is happening.

 I thought you may have.  :cup:

As others have said, I wouldn't be too stressed about not hearing from them yet.
seriously though, top effort!! It makes me proud to be an Aussie when others see a stranger down and do what they can to pick them back up.  :angel:

George and his wife have been very generous and we are so over whelmed with there generosity. We didn't loose all the money to the camper and George has been generous enough to build a camper for us for the price we had left which is very cheap for a good quality camper. Freight however was a huge amount, as its from WA and we are FNQ. We are also trying to think of a way and when we could get over there ourselves as there is no way we want to take this generous offer up without meeting these wonderful people! We didn't want to post it on here as we thought they might not appreciate that yet. We are also just that 1% hopeful we would get our money back and would be able to pay George the full amount but does not think that is going to happen after seeing the debt they are in. But we have been in contact with George and have been so excited that we still get a chance at getting a camper.

I am so pleased for you Luke, I hope you and Melissa can move on after this,we are not sure of our outcome yet, some people are upset that some people actually got something and feel as if they do not deserve it somehow. Not sure about this, but I would be happy to see anyone get anything they could in these circumstances, particularly if they have paid just about all their money to it. We stand to lose $15,000 if it goes pear shaped for us.
 I was so depressed on the weekend, but my husband said after losing our house in a fire some years ago and a beloved pet with it and the sanity of our daughter who was there when it happened, this is small compared with that. Living in a shed for 6 months in rain, hail and heat, flea plague, horses, dogs and cats all trying to get in when the storms hit, 5of us trying to live a tiny little shed and rented caravans,was some experience, but it taught us to be grateful for whatever we had when we moved into the new house. We found great kindness amongst strangers,We did not fold then, and we will not fold now. Just carry on and hope the outcome is better than we think right now.  As for trying to support local business and small business, I think I am now very cynical about all of that. You just cannot trust anyone it seems. Not sure if we could ever bother again,but time will tell.
