Default Chris astley motorsport read!!!

MIGWEB AND PNGCLUB HAVE THREADS ON THIS SUBJECT

HERE IS A POST FROM A MEMBER

I'm sure a lot of you have read or seen various posts already but I can confirm that it is true. I'm sure there will be several people with money paid to Chris and no parts and all I can advise is that if you have paid by card or Paypal is to get onto them as soon as possible to see what can be done.

Knowing Chris personally this was the last thing he wanted. He has tried his hardest to avoid this including relocating to cheaper premises. I want people to realise that he is not a limited company he is a sole trader so he essentially loses everything not just the business. So when people start slagging him off about losing a few hundred quid bare it in mind.
I am gratefull for what Chris has done for the scene and it is a great shame to see such a business go under.

this is the thread:
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139939


this is purely to inform those that have used/awaiting parts from him that he is no longer trading

Always a shame when someone's business goes tits up but being a sole trader unfortunately leaves him open to litigation from disgruntled customers. Should have taken the precaution of being a limited company.
