Just letting everyone know that the workings at the Bus Haus are still far from sound.
Hi guys
I paid a deposit of $16,000 in July 2015 with a promised delivery of the van Nov 2015. When it had not arrived I agreed to pay a further instalment (aprrox $15,000 to both Michael and his van painter) on the promise that I would receive it by Christmas. When it was still not ready, Michael lent me a van to use on vacation. On my return Feb 2016 it was still not ready and I informed him that I would not return his borrowed van until mine was finished. Fast forward 1 year and I have received neither my van nor a refund and only have an unregistered/non warranted van as security, along with two other vans "registered" under my name which I have never seen and have later found out are worthless from a legal ownership point of view. To Michael's credit he sometimes takes my calls although only to give me more empty promises. From following other cases it is clear that Michael Simmonds will only attend to whoever is making the most noise and is in the strongest position to liquidate his company through a Court Order. I advise all readers to steer well clear of this operation until the company is financially stable and have no further court cases pending.
