Issues with MKZ - CASE?

[goenitz33]

Did you try posting in SGcollect Forum too about this case?

do take note the moderators are kinda biased too.

i am one of the victims of MikelZ also -.-

*sighs*

Hi all,

CASE only handles individual cases, so for now, please don't email me your details. I'll be going down to CASE to talk to them and ask them for advice. My guess is that they'd most probably refer me to Small Claims Tribunal or the police. Either way, I'll keep you guys posted.

Again, please hold your emails back for now. I'll double confirm things with CASE again, and let you guys know the next course of action. Chances are, I'd probably go down to CASE on Friday.

I too was chasing Mike since Jan this year. After 50 sms and phone calls, excuses that the bank cannot send money, need to do direct transfer but he working, I finally got my money back on the 12 of Jun. His wife picked up when i called him that week and said Mike is overseas.

Best of luck for you guys with your claims too! I am really sick of doing this, after another experience with another shop in Funan 5 years back.

well at least you got back your money.

i didnt even hear from him since end of May 2011.

and my preorder dated back to 2010 May -_-

That's the biggest problem with them!! When our pre-orders are already launched and release for sale everywhere, their shipment has yet to come because "they travel by boat".

As a result, we end up waiting and waiting till now they dont even bother to update us. Wonder if their physical shop still in operation?

Probably not, considering that his business is now 'terminated' as stated on ARCA's website.

Still very sad that things turned out this way.

Guys, if its of any help - mike isn't in alone on the whole thing.

Previously when I contacted mike, he refused to answer. Subsequently, kelly contacted me "on behalf" of mike and tried to convince me to give them 2 weeks. That's when they were still contactable. They tried to call but I refused as I wanted a proper black and white statement.

I was refused the refund and kelly kept insisting they would refund me after said 2 weeks, so I had no choice.

And well.. Here I am. Cashless.

 

[goenitz33]

so now are they still contactable ? they have basically MIA.

Hi

I am also a victim of Mikelz i have around 400sg pending PO to refund. how can we file altogether all our case so we have a strong case agains Mikelz. Very sad they probably run away from SG I hope we can still do something to refund the money we deposit to him. This will be a lesson for all of us

Not really surprising. They are husband and wife after all. Have to stick together through thick and thin.

Yes I also suspect they are already out of Singapore. Probably lying low in Hong Kong by now (My own wild guess).

MKZ just send me an email:

Dear Customers,

Please note that bankruptcy proceedings are undergoing and customers are advised to go through the proper authorities to lodge their claims.

I will be submitting the documents to the authorities when requested for and will be co-operating with the relavant authorities to aid in the proceedings.

Meanwhile, thank you for your support for the past 8 years. I really appreciate your business and patience towards this matter.

MKZ just send me an email:

I just got it too. Well, at least now we have some light on the matter. But I wonder what happened to cause the bankruptcy.

Help me here - What are the proper authorities to lodge the claims?

 

[Deadpool.]

How did he manage to run the business into bankruptcy, I wonder.
