  PrimeQ - 'Have Done a Runner'

This may not be a surprise to some but It appears that PrimeQ have left the London offices in quite a rush after bailiffs arrived.

I have it on good authority that they have a court hearing on 14th May and courts have already issued 2 writs for seizure of assets for bad debts.

Not good news for any creditors out there.

Anyone have any further news? What implications does this have for affiliates in other countries?

  Re: PrimeQ - 'Have Done a Runner'

Sad but not unexpected news.

is a shame as each failure it makes it harder for other smaller or specific channel networks to gain affiliate trust so probably hampers the growth of perfectly viable and well run networks in the mid term.

was it a case of fly high in ads in revenue magazine and sponser everything going such as adtech etc., with a "if we fake it we might make it" attitude ?

Probably the start of a global meltdown for PQ, We may never get to the bottom of it as I seem to recall affiliates trying to sort out previous issues found them to be as twisty as a mountain road.

if it's dying then doubt a new incarnation will rise sometime soon as you just can't keep a good bloke down

I didn't use them as I just felt it was just too much of a risk.

I prefer to use my trusted networks that have proven themselves or from recommendations of people I trust.

Hope the creditors get as much as they can!

Hardly suprising - they owe a lot of people a lot of money and have been a sinking ship for a long time.

  Re: PrimeQ - 'Have Done a Runner'

I wonder what implications this has for their other company "Find my Leads"? More like "Find my PrimeQ"...and are the rumours true there is a new company to be opened called Click Promise? Hmmm all these questions!

So can you put it in your accounts as not paid?

  Re: PrimeQ - 'Have Done a Runner'

I won a small claims case against PrimeQ earlier this year for nearly £2,500 and have had a request for a Warrant of Execution being dealt with by the court bailiffs since 12th Feb.

Unfortunately the bailiffs seem even less competent than PrimeQ at handling this so it looks like I can wave good bye to the money.

Never mind I'll just pick myself up, dust myself down and wait for the next network/merchant to take me from behind

Cheers PrimeQ

Nick

The fact that it's pocket size is not implying ANYTHING

  Re: PrimeQ - 'Have Done a Runner'

I used Prime Q for a couple of campaigns my clients campaigns and always paid them for what they delivered...really annoys me that my affiliates could possibly not have been paid....
