WildBill Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hmmm! Another one bites the dust. Sad to see another company going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 ....interesting, but take care. Though there may (or may not) be some connection, this is not the company trading at Goldthorpe and currently building RS Motorhomes (and ostensibly still trading). The latter is RS Motorhomes Sales (South Yorkshire), and at companies house is a separate and separately addressed legal entity to the one mentioned in the OP. The directorship of the latter appears to be in the hands of a member of the Rowe family (who build RS Motorhomes) whereas the other is in a different name.

Guest JudgeMental Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Have never heard of em......... Anyone being asked for a large deposit on a new van would do well to do a credit check first! Also written contract with date of delivery + deposit return option. Pay deposit by credit card! These are turbulent times and set to get a lot worse....

ips Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Sounds like very good advice form the judge ... buyer beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 ....further to my post above, there is an interesting history and connection to be revealed by a London Gazette search (which may also reveal why the current - still trading - firm appears to be in the name of one of the original owning family, but not the two original principals). The liquidators for RS MOTORHOMES SALES LIMITED were actually appointed almost a year ago. Edit to add: at the prices RS charged for motorhomes, a deposit paid on credit card is not likely to add much protection (AIUI, joint liability only being applicable in the case of the full price of the item being at least £100 and not exceeeding £30K) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Seems to me that if they are still trading they need to tell the motorhoming public pronto, as confusion like this will do them no good at all *-)............the original thread came from Motorhome fun so its out there for all to see :-S...........

hallii Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Without reference to any company(ies) already mentioned in previous posts. It always amazes me how easily companies can go into receivership (or any of the other variations on it) and spring up with another very similar name with new directors often with the same surname as the directors of the bankrupt firm. All very legal and above board I am sure, load the company going to the wall with all the debts and continue trading with a sister company making sure the directors continue to get paid. I know of a company personally that has done it three times, he simply buys the assets from the receivers and starts up again with another family member named as director etc. As I said, this is a general observation and I am sure that this is not what has happened with the company named in the above post.

See http://www.rsmotorhomes.com/about.html Their motorhomes are not for people who worry too much about lack of money ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
