Just heard that Jimboomba campers have gone bust

However, according to his boss the Govt will only allow him to earn a median income (I don't think it is right to give the exact amount out) and they take the rest, until they have what they are owed..?/quote]So he is earning double what you earn, and the poor soul can only take most of it. I feel for him.

Im sure theres several customers who would pay money for his work address as you know the boss.

I read this entire thread last night (One of the benefits of being away camping with no TV to bother me). My wife and I were speaking to Terry and Sue early in the year, right about the time they must have been in big trouble. The wife remembered how persistent the return emails were with regards to the quote we were negotiating with them.

I'm just happy that we saw our Lifestyle for sale second hand on myswag and decided to buy that, as we very well could have ended up tangled within this bloody mess. I might buy a lotto ticket today

Good news Luke and Melissa your camper has just come back from the powder coaters.
The boys worked hard to sneak yours in early

Hmmm, well maybe that is 'Kimberley' - 18mths ago when we updated we did the three part payment BEFORE delivery to the dealer.....but we did get out Kamper.

Same here 8 months ago

Same here 8 months ago 

But is that the dealer asking for progress payments? Remember he would then keep your progress payments in his account earning interest until Kimberly have finished the Kamper and had to pay.

Our dealer asked for a deposit and then two weeks before delivery the final payment. I presume that by this time the Kamper is all but complete, we also were going through a finance broker therefore it may take some time to get the money through.

I am not associated with Kimberly or the dealer.

We paid a deposit on ordering and final payment due before delivery.

That's great news, George.

After what you and Teresa did for me and mine in July and now what you are doing for Luke and Melissa, you have both brought back my faith in the Aussie spirit.

Luke, I don't know which camper George is building for you but I can definitely vouch for the quality of his work and that you will be getting one awesome camper.

Once again, our hats are off to FollowMe.

Cheers

Can't we make a chain of people taking the CT east?
Everyone drives a certain distance to the next member, which drives the CT to the next, until it arrives at Lukes and Melissas place.
It will take a while (hence the name for WA  ) but it will be there for the end of the year.

I think best option is to put it on a truck. Bloke gets a NEW NEW trailer.

Agree with above, having others responsible for your pride and joy has great potential for going pear shaped...... best of using a professional carrier to deliver, and yep i'd throw in a few bucks too to help out with delivery.

Great news too........ Top stuff Follow Me Campers

[Paul (SA)]

Is throw in some dollars to help get it there.

[Nomad]

Thats for the site owners. Its been asked about before for donations and the owner said no.

If Followmecampers is willing to run with this, I'd suggest direct deposit is the way to go into an account of his choice

[Nomad]

Fair enough.........................

Can we do a thread with a PP or dd link with an account reference?
I am a tech retard so apologies for the fax paux.......................

Thank you so much everyone for all you words and support. George and Theresa have been so fantastic and after what jimboomba owners did to us it's been good to see there is genuine Aussie business owners out there that not only care about money but care about there customer.

We have just been so over whelmed with the generosity of people and it's really helped us try to move on from what jimboomba campers did to us and many other people.

About to post now.

Jules ranger Im guessing your in qld. I would suggest you go into the qld motor transport and ask them the question. I have a trailer I have a copy of payment and I have a stat det that your purchased it, obviously dont go into details but you might just find its registerable legal and legit as a jimboomba camper.

As for small businesses going broke being thieves etc etc its not always the case. I know its hard to think they still take deposits but they were probably trying to trade out of trouble. You would be suprised how many businesses trade insolvent and then come good. I know a few people that have gone bust and none have been able to keep money or goods. Most small business owners are mortgaged to the hilt and just treading water treading a fine line between floating and sinking. A mate of mine went broke. He was trading trying to get out of strife, always saying if I just get this job or that job ill be fine, using deposits and progress payments to keep jobs going but it all caught up with him. He had debt collectors and customers chasing him but he had nothing, he had lost the lot. He hung himself about not long after his marriage broke down.

Pauly,
The last thing those who were ripped off by those scum need is to be made to feel guilty about the theives involved.
Trading insolvent is illegal. End of story.

Trading insolvent is illegal. End of story.

It may well be ... but you can only get charged with about a million things these days ... IF YOU GET CAUGHT.      

Doesn't mean you can't do it though, and I'd guarantee that many do / have / will - they just haven't got knicked for it YET.
