I hope he rots in hell.

it's looking like it

no use just whining on here guys, it won't take you long to email your MPs, newspapers, watchdog and anyone else you think may be interested in these people's "business activities" and lavish lifestyles.

Just do it.

More importantly looking forward- how can we tell these dodgy agencies from the good ones when they call up?

Should we avoid unfamiliar names? Or is there another way we can take a peek at their financial situation/company performance to gauge whether it's safe to go with them... ?

I can't believe you guys are getting ripped off and unpaid. JBA are now starting another company called Broadgate IT. An ex-consultant who still works in the industry, but for a much better company, told me that they used to lie about jobs and get people to attend fake interviews- even worse they used to get other JBA consultants to 'telephone interview' contractors to prevent them from accepting real jobs. Their bread and butter was making up fake interviews and jobs so they could extract information and use this as a lead source. <removed> He should be answerable to you as he is taking your money. He lives in a multi million pound property in SW London and he is thieving your money. be warned not to use Broadgate IT in the future and should report this to body that regulates the recruitment industry. Nick Beckett is now contactable at nick@broadgateit.co.uk

thanks for the info but emailing this company is pointless and I'd caution people against sending angry, threatening or offensive emails since you don't want to be arrested for public order offence or something.

This new company is a separate legal entity so the debts of JBA Ltd won't carry onto it. Likewise, the personal wealth of the directors is out of bounds too.

Don't waste your time. Complain to people who will help to expose these people for what they are - MP, media, any regulators etc.

also been screwed over by JBA..

Also owed 2 months of wages by JBA. Not impressed to hear about their new setup and certainly seems like a phoenix company to me. I for one will do everything in my power to ensure the likes of Nick Bennett don't keep screwing people over like this whilst stripping the valuable assets of the company onto his next venture so creditors all lose out.

I urge you all to read the above link and look at the collective action that can be taken to ensure people like him are struck off! If he was is so sincere why setup another company immediately in this way other than to rub his creditors nose in it.

First time I have heard about the creditors meeting, last letter i had was from Bond Partners to say a liquidator would be appointed and they were no longer involved. Can somebody please provide me with the details of this meeting and who the liquidators are?

This is no true if you can prove that this company has been handled badly financially and that its a phoenix company where the director should be struck off and can be held liable. It only takes 5 minutes to fire an email to your local MP. Hit them where it hurts.. The Evening Standard is the most read newspaper covering the City. If enough of us contact them, they may run a story.

The links below show what action can be taken:

I find it interesting that whilst i'm getting letters to say from Bond Partners that the company is looking to enter in a voluntary arrangement with its creditors as late as 27th December 2009, Broadgate IT (new company) shows the incorporation date as 11th December 2009. So where exactly was the intention to pay any of the creditors?

If a company is entering liquidation a notice is to be served to all creditors and a notice put in the London Gazette at least 7 days before the meeting. I have no letter as of yet or can find anything online in the Gazette.

What can we do exactly?
I wrote to my MP who is very concerned and will pass the matter by the Department for Business.
I think all of you affected should write to your MPs to get some momentum behind this.

you should always do a check on companies house and/or a credit rating agency tosee what the state of a new agency is in/has been in.

also keep a nice black list of directors/agencies who don't pay/have gone broke etc. and check that before signing any contract.

after all, it's your livelyhood and your company you are looking out for.
