As a victim the £129.90 scam I rang Companies House yesterday and the London address mentioned here is subject to the winding up order. Companies House have no knowledge of any problems at the Arundal address and their accounts are up to date. I was also informed Satelite Direct UK Ltd are not trading under any other name.

Please note that having also had 65.00 taken unlawfully from our account, Lloyds TSB advises me that while it does return your money it will claim it back from you if they are unsuccessful getting your money from Satellite Direct. I noted also today (3rd July) that SDUK appear to have installed an answerphone message on there telephone number where it did not exist yesterday. I also hope that the law is also gunning for the company secretary there as well as she could not have been oblivious to what has been going on.

I know someone that worked for these, she has, this week taken redundancy, bet she wont even get paid, let alone get redundancy money, and loads have lost their jobs. They have started up a new company. My friend was offered work with them.

I had a problem with satellite direct in oct 07 when they took out of my account over £108. After getting in touch with them they said it was for 25 monthly payments that i have missed. I told them that i had not got cover with them and they told my that i still had cover and so i couldn’t get my money back. I again cancelled my account and could not get a refund. I have just noticed on my account that 2 days ago they took 1 months payment out of my account. As they did this before it was followed by the large bill. I have been to back to cancell direct debit but i cannot get in touch with the company. Be careful as if they have you bank details they will try again.

Re post about Winding Up Order on Satellite Direct.

Go to the following url and it states that the case is due to be heard today after 11.30 today.

As for the Sat Direct employee putting a post on here I wonder if he knows that the number he quoted where you can get helpful assistance is now a dead number.

These cowboys deserve everything they get. I’d like to invite David Reynolds to put a post on here explaining his actions but I guess that’s never going to happen.
