Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I was just about to purchase a couple of items of clothing from the Hardy Amies web site when I found out they had gone into receivership. Then I discovered they had been bought out by a Chinese investment company. The company in question is buying the brand, the Saville Row store and some other aspects of the company but not the other shops so these will be closing. None of the articles I've read mention the web site. What I wanted to know was whether it's safe to purchase from the site considering they may not be able to fulfil the order or won't be able to refund if I need to return some goods? Is there any reason for me to be concerned? Am I protected by consumer law in this regard?
No it wouldn't be safe at all. As they are changing hands, your order would probably get lost in the system and never be fulfilled.
The new owners may not even start trading for years (if at all).
If your order did get through, (and it wasn't fulfilled which is an almost certainty), because of the situation, you would have to go through the receivers and any refund due to you would be bottom of the list which means you would get nothing back.
Stay well clear.
