Morris Minor Owners Club

It says nothing will be done until the end of May.

I thought Russell would of been on to explain but it probably means the mag wont be out again .Such a shame as it was a good magazine .

I received the letter also, and don't understand why they needed me to put it in writing that I want the money back they owe me!?

It's standard policy when a firm ceases trading (in this case a publication) for the liqudator to request all creditors to put their claim in writing. He can then work out how much is owed and to whom.

Usually 10p in the Pound and trade advertisers will get paid first

Anyone been paid yet??

It's only been 5 working days since the end of May. I would not expect anything to happen for at least 2 months.

If you paid with a Credit Card - you may be able to claim the money back from them.

just received a reply for my claim for a refund......
it says.. we are happy to transfer the issues remaining over
to another of our titles???????

which when i looked at them ...
i have no interest what so ever
i will be calling them on monday
to give them some sharp tongue

Is 'Practical Elastic-Band Twanging' one of their titles?

I also subscribe to 'Impractical Elastic-Band Twanging' too!

What they're offering is essentially a Credit Note!

This is NOT an option, possibly against T&C's as the boob
was their end!!

i am not impressed i will write another letter asking for a full refund if not will go to citizens advice

I have been offered half the value of my subscriptions or delivery of 5 issues of an alternative magazine.
As my son is a drummer I opted for delivery of 5 issues of a drum magazine.
I suppose as they dont have by law to do anything, the gesture has to be appreciated.

I to have had a letter offering me 50% of my paid up subs in refund, Ive just phoned them to ask why only 50%. I spoke to a very pleasant lady called Hannah who has told me to email subs@blazepublishing.co.uk and request a full refund. There is no guarantee that it will come but worth trying.

Sounds a bit of a try on does this. I mean the firm, Blaze Publishing, hasn't ceased trading, they have merely ceased production of one of their products. If they are unable to supply a product as advertised then a full refund should be offered. Anythign else is an attempt to wriggle out of it in my view.

I have been informed that I am owed 13 issues of Morris Minor Magazine or a 50% refund. Strangely non of the other titles appeal to me so I will be demanding a 100% refund.

I would imagine if you insist on the full amount you will get it. They are still in business and trading so will not wish a lot of small claims court actions and probably just pay. The 50% offer is just bad form and an attempt to fob people off with less. Another magazine is fine if there is one that appeals - no other motoring titles as far as I can see.
Its just typical modern business practice to try and fiddle the customer and hope they get away with it. Imagine if it was a Morris Minor parts specialist for eg: You order and pay for a sill for say £30. They then contact you and say that they don't do sills anymore, but you could have a boot floor instead, or if not have a refund of £15.... I don't think so!

keep onto to them guys and gals for you refunds............I was not even aware of the letters being issued and was kept in the dark by Blaze!

I have issue 205 already to go! and the next 3 issues after that

H

I find it very strange Russell that you decide to post on this thread now that things are being sorted out .I certainly wont be subscribing ever again !

I would suggest you look at your pm and then wonder what I am supposed to do.....you have my e mail address many MMOC members contacted me and were concerned as to how I had been treated by Blaze!
