Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before recieved a letter yesterday from the administrators. Outlining that they reckon I was due £20 plus. However they add on 10% for errors, but the catch is folks we only get 2 pence in the pound back from what we are due. So I arrive at the lovely sum of 45p. You can either do nothing and get the money paid into your account or nominate it to be given to one of their charities.
The thing was I wasnt due any money from them. I had cancelled my sub a month before and my box was picked up a week before it all went belly up.
Anyone else get a letter through?

But seeing as i get to keep the box, i aint really that bothered.
Hmmm due to administration costs we would only get back around 2p in every pound we are owed? Is that legal?
We paid for services, not anything else so in reality i am still owed that £100, not £10. :eek:
Yep, its perfectly legal - cause the company doesn't have the money left to pay everyone, it will simply pay a percentage of its debts out of the money it has left.
Oh, and you're prolly gonna get the grant total of £2 if you were owed £100! (Might just frame any cheque they send me as I'm owed about £60 so it'll be £1.20!!!)
I paid £100 pre-paid sub in March 2001 and nothing else but continued to recieve the service until it stopped on 01/05/02.
So I got 13 1/2 months access to pay TV services and an STB for a few pence under £100 - so how according to their records they owe me £35.90 I'll never know. Add 10% for error makes it £39.49 so my likely dividend is .... wait for it ... a whopping 79p whoo hoo!
But it may be up to two years before he can pay out any divdend, so I think I'll wait for my £0.79 cheque and put £1 in a charity box at work.
The letter also confirms he sold the STBs to Carlton and Granda who gave them to us for free.
There is a website with some FAQs - http://www.ondigital-in-liquidation.co.uk/
But then I suppose people would be pissed off at getting such a small amount that the letter is probably necessary.
First up, most of the people that were owed money didn't recieve a letter demanding £40 for the box. Secondly, Carlton&Granada have bought the boxes between them and given them to the people that currently have them (i.e. You now own your box).
Third, you won't get the £15 back - you'll get around 2% of that amount, same as I won't get all of my £60(ish) prepaid sub that I'm owed, I'll be getting the same percentage. Yours comes to a grand total of 30p, whereas mine is a great £1.20(ish)!!!
Looking at the FAQ (the link was in this thread somewhere), it says the reason we have to wait is that they're still investigating some dealings which (and I quote) "Investigations are currently being conducted with respect to the company's affairs prior to liquidation. These investigations may potentially lead to increased asset realisations. These investigations need to be completed before calculation of a dividend", so we *MAY* get a higher percentage of our debt back. However, don't expect all your £15 back - its not likely.
My .49p is going to charity....
The letter said that they owed me £12 but that doesn't include the subscription to the TV7 magazine. I'm sure that that you add another £15 to the total. I'm not too bothered now since I'm never going to get it back. Sadly my box was returned one day before they went belly up but at least I have Monkey :-)
and the same as some other people, i wasn't actually owed anything, but they said they owed me £4.64. my sub finished and the box was returned a few months before they went.
Anyone know if we earn 2 years' worth of interest before we get paid????
I really wasn't expecting anything, and I also get to keep the box, which is a bit of a bonus all round!
That's going to charity I think
Is it just dodgy records? He says they owe him nada!
apparently owed 46p - did wonder why I'd gotten this letter, but not the previous one asking for the £40 for the box - although from a previous post that was down to the fact that they (thought they) owed me money.

Still can't quite believe it
