Thread: Other companies have bank problems too...

Ok, PIPS may have sorted out their credit card payments a while back but this goes to show that major companies have similar problems.

The Computer Shop (Time) in the UK have been forced to close all of their stores as they have payment processing problems:

Well spotted

Wonderful idea to post this nej...

Keep these examples coming! I hope it might temper the negativity & bring some relief to those who have their doubts on the CEO's statements on this issue. (I mean... I guess it's easier to live with a certain hard truth than with an uncertain conviction that people are lying to you.)

Those who have access to an other program (G...)'s forum might check out the General Chat "Banking horror" discussion. It contains edited text from among others:

Perhaps I shouldn't post the follow up that they were today placed into administration then!!

A mate of mine at work is well annoyed.. a £1000 plasma on order and paid for, and now god knows if he'll get it.

Hmm, familiar story! :lol:

:shock: :shock: :shock:

There are millions of companies that aren't having any bank problems. If PIPS had the money they claim to have, what bank wouldn't want their business??

This is all just rationalization. Keep the exampls coming....whatever makes you feel better about the crappiness of the situation

Hmm, maybe this should be locked before the trolls set in too much!

Dear mister/misses matthines,
I thank you for offering this beautiful example of how people can stick to their opinion like mules, no matter what proof you offer them.
As they say in Dutch: How is the owl served by glasses if he isn't willing to see.

But maybe I'm wrong... If you actually know what you talk about, I would even be glad and enlighted to learn from you. Why are the facts and background info offered here just mere nonsense and in no way possibly related to the apparent problems 'our' company and many others are actually facing?

It's not about PIPS not having the funds available.It's about the wire volume and International money laundering regulations after what happened on 911.The banks need to comply for various security reasons and all businesses must also be in compliance with the new laws.The new rules and regs are tight.
So that said,have faith that Bryan is doing all he can to find the best solution for the longevity of this group.All the negative pessimistic speculation is completely uncalled for and rather immature.No reason to be so desperate for the money.Diversify and be patient.

Hi nej

The computer shop closed all their stores not because of payment processing problems.

They closed because they were losing more than two million sterling per month and had been doing so for the past 6 months.

They were place in administration yesterday and all workers dismissed.

Don't you agree that drawing a parallel with P**S is not a good idea.
