Scot Motorhomes has gone into administration! (1 Viewer)

[JohnJan]

They have KPMG appointed as administrators to wind them up but their website is still live

 

[Blue Knight]

Scot, BC and Lunar in less than 2-weeks; just shows how bad the market is for higher value items.

At this rate people will be reluctant to put deposits down on new vans in case the dealer goes under before the van is collected.

 

[JohnJan]

Any deposit needs to be on credit card to ensure you're got protection, otherwise a deposit puts you as a unsecured creditor and that's not a good place to be

The company hasn't been trading for very long, it was only incorporated at Christmas last year.

 

[Theonlysue]

Any deposit needs to go into a separate client money designated account.
It's one thing travelworld did correctly.
I have spoken to some other high end dealers who said they have never done this!!!
This is what will protect any deposits.

ONLY if the total purchase cost is up to £30,000, if it's more then you have no protection.

I agree, in fact you really need to pay it directly into the client account and not allow the dealer to transfer it across from their business account.

I’m still waiting on SMC giving me a price for a new Frankia, that’s four weeks now. ?

 

[Grianan]

I read about this yesterday but it was all a rumour then. Apparently one of the 2 sites has been cleared already.

Yet BC in Ayr still have a large number of vans on the forecourt a couple of weeks after they ceased trading.

It's worth running a HPI check on your van if it's that recently acquired to make sure that the dealer hadn't got stocking finance on it that hasn't been cleared.

I picked up my van from Scot Motorhomes two weeks ago. As part of the deal, they were to install a rear camera (apparently with £700). Looks like that's not going to happen...

I had a horrible service the whole time from Scot Motorhomes. Now I know why!

Welcome to fun

You will get one supplied and fitted for a lot less than that , could have been a lot worse

 

[Tude]

On look North this morning a holiday company think York based has gone bust. I think many more will go , I also think that a lot of them will be border line viable businesses. What they think is a great idea or product is not always what people want but they will blame everything but that.

Get your van HPI’d quickly. You need to make sure they have cleared your van of their stocking plan.
What you don’t want is Mr Bailiff coming and taking your van 6 months down the line!

To be fair and for consideration:-

The Motorhome Company is a dormant Ltd company who’s correspondence address is:-
C/O DA AUCHTERARDER LTD PH3 1EL

DA Auchterarder Ltd used to have a registered address as c/o ScotVans

The Director of Scot Motorhomes used to be ( not now) a directer of DA AUCHTERARDER Ltd

Interestingly, ScotVans has changed its name to Perthshire Cake Decorators Ltd who's accounts are “late” and Scot Motorhomes director was also a Director until 6 months ago


All info in the public domain but You see this a lot

Please forgive if my senses have added 2+ 2 and arrived at 22

Anyone spending many thousands of pounds needs to look at company footprints like this before they part with a shilling ( 5p for those without C1 licence)

Not trying to be pedantic but administration is not the same as winding up, although administrators can wind up a company. Administration is often a rescue procedure used as an alternative to winding up. The administrators may well try to find a buyer for the business or hive down parts of the business, hence the website still being operative, though it should make clear that the company is in administration.

They’ve opened up under a different name now according to their FB page. I think it’s now The Motorhome shop

 

[george w menzies]

Im not suggesting anything, just read the info

If you think the companies are “unrelated”...fine

By the way, Director of Scot Motorhomes has created a new Ltd company in April call Blyth Leisure Limited

I cant think why

When we drove past today it looked like they were modifying the forecourt. We were saying SW Scotland could do with a MH dealership. Hope jobs saved.

Here’s their post from FB

Hello to our Facebook Followers! ?

Firstly, we would like to apologies for our Radio silence over the past few weeks. As you may have heard - sadly our parent company ‘Border Car Group’ recently went into administration. This unfortunately had a knock-on effect with the operation of ‘BC Motorhomes Travel and Leisure’ and we found ourselves in the position of no longer being able to trade. This has been a very difficult time for us all. We are however delighted to announce a completely new and exciting venture! Our very own Calum Watson is now the proud owner of the motorhome business as a completely new stand- alone company.

Welcome ‘BC Motorhomes – The Motorhome Store!’ Calum will also be welcoming back key members of the existing team to assist him in this new and exciting challenge.
If you have any questions relating to the previous administration relating to ‘old’ BC Motorhomes please get in touch on the following email address: calum.watson@bcmotorhomes.co.uk

Additionally, due to some technical difficulties - our phone line will not be in operation for a few days. Please bear with us and this issue will be resolved shortly. In the meantime, you can contact us at the email address above and a member of the team will come back to you.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all customers and staff for standing by us and supporting us through the next exciting chapter.

Kind Regards
Calum Watson

We purchased our first motorhome from them, later discovered we were ripped off with price we paid, and threatened when we dared to complain....So... Good, enjoy life on the dole cheating lying scumbags.

 

[SuperMike]

Administration, receivership, bankruptcy are all fancy names for I can't pay my bills so will run away and drop everybody else, staff, customers, small suppliers etc in the sh*t.

I bought my van 4 months ago from scotmotorhomes does anybody know what happens with your warranty in this situation?

[Scotch mist]

If it was with Scott it’s very unlikely to be honoured , if it was an insurance based warranty you should be ok

 

[Simon Select]

They may or may not honour it as the new company. Legally they wont have too if they go bust and re-open.
Maybe worth speaking to the next nearest dealer for the brand you bought and asking they nicely if they will take over someone elses warranty.

 

[Wullie-d]

it was a brand new van will I have to find a different adria dealer for warranty claims?
