Omni Capital Retail Finance paid the full amount to this company that went into liquidation 2 weeks later!

They took my order on Friday the 20th of March 2020 which the deposit was paid and the balance was taken on a loan with Omni Capital Retail Finance, even had the cheek to give me NHS discount. As a frontline worker I've had enough stress to deal with then I get a letter from the liquidators on the 6th of April! They knew they were on the brink of insolvency when they took my order and my money! I managed to cancel my order with the liquidators and get my deposit back as that was through my credit card but Omni Capital Retail Finance are now hounding me for the loan amount and threatening me with court action and debt collectors! I will obviously not receive my goods or service but Omni Capital Retail Finance don't give a damn as they mis sold me the agreement not stating that I was liable for the full amount even if I don't receive the goods! Hiding under the clause of 'unregulated' loan. Has anyone else found themselves in this situation?

Out of pocket!!

Like a lot of you, paid £450 deposit, for shutters. I believe we were 7-10 days from fitting when they closed. Getting nowhere with the liquidators. It's now belief the original company has passed it on to another liquidators. Has anyone else had any joy getting money back for undelivered goods?

Hopeful

I have been contacted by the administrator, who has given me an option to wait two weeks TIL they see who’s blinds are ready and if they can get fitted. Also given option for to start process of claiming money back. I have chosen to wait and see if blinds have been made as I honestly believe it is hard for companies to keep there heads above water at this time and don’t believe they are trying to rob us, just horrible situation we are in.

Would give Zero stars but no option

Would give Zero stars but no option , l ordered on the 6th jan , paid my deposit and direct debits since only to find out that the company has been put into liquidation.
Absolutely disgusting that they have no thought to their customers and more so the staff they left with nothing in this already uncertain times .
I am a customer left out of pocket !
Hope they sleep easy .....NOT !!
I am just going to update this review as l done deposit and the the finance option.
The finance company today got in touch with me as l cancelled a DD ( which l spoke to them about the day this news broke ) that was due as l had no product l think this is quite fair why would l continue to pay For something l had not received and at this point in time unsure if l ever will get my shutters ! However they are saying I AM in breach of contract !!!! ME ? I would be more than happy to pay for the product if l was getting it . It is disgusting the way the customer is being treated !!

I can assure you this is not the case. We would never take an order or a deposit in that manner, we have posted a full explanation on our website. The Coronavirus Pandemic is an incredible situation, and none of this would have happened if we were still operating or got help from the government.

excellent company

Can’t thank city blinds and shutter enough! We had Kevin out to measure our patio door windows and give us a quote. He never pressured us to go with them, he was nothing but friendly and polite. Pat then cane to fit our blinds. He was friendly and done a great job! What a difference they are to previous blinds! Highly recommend city blinds and shutters for there quick, helpful and friendly service !!

Absolute fantastic service from Pat & Ronnie! Moved into my new house this week, ordered the blinds and they were ready within less than a week. Ronnie was lovely explained everything done perfect measurements, took his shoes off without being asked when going upstairs. Pat done the same, very professional. Blinds were up so quite, he even took down a curtain pole for me that he didn’t have to. Was kind and respectful done amazing job fitting the blinds, very talkative, took all his rubbish away with him and showed me how to work the blinds before he left! Would most definitely recommend! Also Lisa I spoke to online whilst arranging for Ronnie to come and measure my blinds was so helpful and kind and quick replies!
