NO contact, they will not respond to my emails

[RW029]

I just wondered if MGG gave you a reason as to why they could not process your refund? I would be very interested to hear what they told you.

I didn't get a website either. We still have our old one after beginning our re-design project in July!
I do believe that the lack of communication is unacceptable and anyone who has suffered at their hands should look to take further action against them.

We are also struggling to get hold of MGG. As we are in the UK it is proving impossible to track them down and we haven't been able to access our website or emails for over 3 weeks. Before this things seemed to be going fine so please could anyone post me any ideas as to how to get hold of them or access our website? Many thanks in advance.

Just in case anyone wanted the details of the solicitors we will be using to process our complaint against MGG, I believe I am allowed to post their name here. They are called Klimt & Associates and they are based in Sydney. They do have a website which I'm sure you can easily find through a search engine.
Alternatively, you can also use the Law Society of New South Wales website who refer details of suitable lawyers in Australia depending on your needs. It seems like a great source of information, especially when you are based outside of Australia.
I hope this helps.

Hi all,

I discovered this morning that Sxxxxxxx Mxxxx Rxxxx has filed for bankruptcy with ITSA (Insolvency and Trustee Services Australia). They only have 9 people listed as creditors so they strongly recommend that anyone else who has been affected get in touch and log their complaint. You can do this via their website which is easy to find via google.I have been in touch with Klimt Assc and hope to hear back soon.

Good Luck!

Hi, in the meanwhile is there anything that people previously had a working website can do to get their website back up, even if it is with another provider?

You can ring any other web host - try and find one in your area to get your site up and running again.

There is real chance you have lost your database if it wasn't backed up - but you may be able to get your html/css from google if its cached. Hopefully you have backed up both at some point (think of copyright too - no copyright exists for a dead company though).

You can host yourself on many web hosts fairly easily, particularly if there is no database.

That's a pity as being a web developer myself I've always admired their designs.

I found this forum actually when looking for the reason why their website has gone down.

Another company that I've been having issues with getting paid from is 1one.

They outsourced a web project to me almost two years ago now and although I've contracted a PI recently, they refuse to respond.

So please beware if you're looking to use these guys as they've ripped a few other web developers and designers off as well and owe quite a bit of money.

I am REALLY angry about MY Graphic Garden's treatment of so many people!!
The owners also ripped me off when I had my website designed over 2 years ago. The frustration I had with not having any resolution to my back end problems and website issues, on an ongoing basis was enormous. I couldn't get any response via email, couldn't contact them and their responses when I did get them were non short of disgraceful customer service. In the end I was one of the lucky ones and had my website removed to another server. I did lose a logo design which they didn't send me the completed PDF after I had made payment...a small price when it could have been in the $1000s of dollars for my website....I tried at the time to find others in my situation - unsuccessfully as I wanted to spread the word to prevent this happening to others.
I can only be happy that karma has come back to get them!@!! Although to all of you who have lost your websites I am so sorry!!
