time/tiny/granville computers to close down?
 
apparently none of their stores opened today and all the directors have resigned.

they've started shedding staff and are reputed to b on the verge of collapse

thats what u get when u have immensely pathetic customer service and think about hte buck rather than the customer.

feel sorry for the staff.

the directors resignin is just a cop out so that they dont get taxed out for the bankruptcy and keeps their record clean.

ah well

Yep....looks like its going under. I wonder what the impact of 1,100 ex-staff will have on the local unemployment rate?

Their shops might be closed but they are still advertising on the internet.......what price their guarantees when the company sinks?

Would the loss estimated at £2Mill per week have anything to do with it ;)

we have been waiting for about five weeks for a new p.c. from them,,,we were wondering why it was taking so long ,,good job we used my sons credit card and not my debit card .i think he has a protection clause .....thats probably why they never replied to our e.mails...:mad:

was listening to the regional news tonight,and they were saying that if customers purchased with credit cards they should be covered,what brassed me off - they also said that anyone who paid cash will lose out and be at the back of the queue,that makes me angry just shows you aint a valued customer if you pay CASH.

i bet the manageing directors arnt going without a nice redundancy payoff though

people should get refunds before anything else gets sorted

Apparently most of the staff learnt that they had lost their jobs and wouldn't get their last months salary owed to them, on the internet.
