Nope. My brother stupidly ordered up some spares from them for an oven
they'd supplied as part of a package. They debited his card immediately -
but they weren't forthcoming despite them claiming they had them when he
ordered by phone.

He doesn't bother with computers ;-) so I said I'd try and find what he
wanted elsewhere. Took all of a couple of minutes - and at half the price
he'd paid to MFI. Delivered the next day.

Last I heard he was still arguing about getting his money back.

Credit card company, unless it was paid by debit card.

In which case the administrators have a form you can fill in to claim.
They reckon the money is their to pay people who paid by cash/cheque or
debit card

Yes, and a few people state (repeatedly) that their Rover car wasn't
crap. However the vast majority were.

Quite agree. We have had two MFI wall units laden with books and Hi-Fi
stuff from when we first set up house in 1978. They have been dismantled
and reassembled for house moves and shunted around during re-decorations
and extension building in two houses without problems.

It's still worth pursuing even if £100. I've had positive results
recovering such sums, presumably done on a goodwill gesture basis.

Indeed.
We bought 4 fold up wooden kitchen chairs there twenty years ago.
Still using them.

A couple of years ago, I was looking for some cheap cupboards for the
office.

I looked in the MFI round the corner - and promptly went to Ikea, where I
got some _far_ better quality ones for a lot less.

The kitchen I'm referring to is ok as low priced kitchens go. Certainly
the equal of Ikea, etc.

MFI collapses? Now you know where all those excess nuts, bolts, and
screws were supposed to have gone. :-)
