  • "Around 13,000 Crown customers alone are owed a combined Ј20 million for foreign currency they ordered which never arrived after the firm collapsed in October. However, only 9,500 have so far identified themselves to MCR."
    I wonder what the other 3,500's got to hide?
  • Yesssssssssss!!! Great news. I hope they seize their assets. I am owed several hundred pounds and would love to get it back.
    Fingers crossed that justice is done.
  • I am one of the unfortunate losers...ordered Ј2,500 worth of euro to pay my ground rent charges for
    2011 on a holiday home in France,gotta do it on monthly installments now. After administraters/legal
    fees are taken out,ain't gonna be much left over....you can bet that.
  • hi all, newbie here.
    as one who has lost over a grand to these thieves, i hope they throw the book at them.
    i bought some euros four days before they went to admin.
    i read on the cceag forum, that there may be a chance of monies in the barclay's account being returned.
    at least that would reimburse my daughter.
    not holding breath though.
    very reluctant to use web sites again, however used talk talk and got money safely.
    also used post office and picked up cash at local branch.
    thanks for all your posts, will keep in touch and update when any changes happen.
    thanks to Martin for all his advice, saved quite a bit, using it.
    cheers rodders
  • I hope they sieze everything they can, I'm owed Ј1200. Not holding my breath though, i personally think i'll be lucky to get any of it back!!!!!! Hope they get locked up for a long time, this has devastated so many lives!
