Colin Colins went bust today

So they can run off with the cash and not bank cheques/credit card payments

Doesn't that make it very obvious that it's deliberate and therefore fraud????

If it doesn't, it bloody well should

Cheers JB, it was more of a retorical question

The stupid thing about the Dive shop owner was you'd think he's run away to somewhere hot and make the dosh last while living like a king somewhere... no he ran to Cornwall and ended up with one or two interested parties knocking on his door so at least some people got their money back

Dude, try contacting KTM UK and chase your order, explain to then that a deposit has been paid and see if they will come up with anything.

Good advice.

I am certainly aware of a number of cases in the Motor trade (cars) where manufacturers have honoured customer deposits and even payments in full, when a franchised dealer has gone bust.

Whilst your contract is with the dealer, it would certainly be worth contacting KTM and ascertaining their position on this. One thing is for sure it is a P.R. disaster from a manufacturers perspective.

Best of luck.

Try and found out where the bastard lives and make a personal call for a refund..takes some mates and make it quite clear that you want the deposit bike. Once the rogue realises you know where he lives then he may pay you off just to keep his head low !!

He "can" because he did, whether he "should" is another question.

its a shame because i did my motorcycle license upstairs in the training room..

Me too...

The training was done by a 3rd party company (ADS) who rented the space from them. So, in theory, ADS should be OK but will now need new offices and workshop space.
