Yes, he won. I have a lot more information which I am keeping to myself after weeks of digging around.

For the time being I just await people to PM me for full details of this stuff.

just let everyone know what you know, as at present it seems sour grapes from you, like the other thread that was closed regarding mra minis just recently

[Shifty]

All I've done is asked for clarification and more info, believe it or not I want to help.

So far you've provided no info about your complaint so I can't help you.

How can he win if it never got to court?

Read further down the thread mate. He says it went to court yesterday

Right won ky courtcase against him, he was ordered to pay me, so the ******* ******* put mra in voluntary liquidation, and guess what the 2 biggest creditors are him and someone with the same name, how the *******s that work how can u close your own company claiming it owes you money. So hes now officially stole my money and my engine, absolute utter ******* *******. No turbomini for me now.

John did say to send a PM

That's why I wanted more info, I'm really not taking sides here.

That quote is at complete odds to the very first one in that thread..

"Right ive put all my case together to take him to court, handed it in, payed the court fees. Now heres the annoying bit, i got a letter from a firm basically saying he in liquidation and i have to apply to them for a meeting to try and get a percentage of what he owes me back. "

This is why I'm confused and want some info.

You cannot take a company which is in the hands of a liquidator or receiver to court. You can however, lodge notice of your claim with the receiver and if it's accepted you will become another non-preferential creditor. Not that that will help you much in getting any money back even if you can prove your claim to the receiver. Of course, if the liquidated company has supplied goods and payment has not been received, the buyer is unlikely to pay in full as the legal warranty no longer exists and the value is thus reduced, maybe by as much as 50%.
However, if you paid by credit card, the card company may have you insured against loss in this way.
Non-preferential creditors usually get nothing, especially where the banks or lenders have a 'debenture' over all fixed and floating assets or where equipment and vehicles are on hire purchase or lease. In that case the HP or lease companies take heir stuff, then the debenture holders take what they are owed, the the non-preferential creditors share what is left.

At least this is in the right section as well.......

One of the good things about public limited companies is that all documents sent to companies house are made public. A bit more factual information that I have gleaned (and it does seem to support Rick.Spi's comments on TM).

MRA Engineering Ltd's total debt is £133k. Their assets stood at £7.5k
Director's loans total £92k. There are no preferential creditors/

There is a Ricky ************** of Thrapston, Northants who is owed a sizeable chunk of cash. I suspect that this might be Rick.Spi

The creditors are going to get (next to) nothing.

That's fine, all I want are facts!!

Well if anything good has come out of this thread is that now its public knowledge about MRA.

I'm well pleased I posted and the main contributions were by other people. Its good that we did this to protect lots of mini enthusiasts like poor Rick.SPI

to be honest it just seems like your stoking the fire.

[Shifty]

I'll chase up the details of your engine and also recheck ricks details with Martin tomorrow.

If MRA are still trading under whatever company and you were considering giving your car to them wouldn't you rather know that other owners have lost money with them?
I know I would

i could do that and im not involved in anyway.
