NQ Rentals going bankrupt???

I had hired a campervan from NQ Rentals Darwin Depot in June 2004. To
my surprise and when I arrived at the depot I was informed that the
$5,100 Deposit will not refunded to me upon vehicle return (as stated
in your terms & conditions), but will be transferred back via NQ
Rentals head office within 3 business days after the return of the
vehicle. Needles to say I was surprised to hear this, but flying
into Darwin for a 4-day trip to then say "NO, I don't take it" and
find someone else … well I wasn't quite that alert.

I returned the vehicle in orderly condition and without damages and it
was accepted back without complaint. I therefore expected refund of my
deposit in the coming 3 business days.

To my great disappointment, no refund has occurred until the present
date. None of my calls or emails have been answered by NQ Rentals so
far. A$5,100 is quite a scam. What concerns me is comments from NQ
staff that indicate that I may not be the only one.

I wonder whether I got hooked on a money acquisition scheme of a
tourist operation that is on the brink of going bust?

Has anyone had a similar experience or heard about NQ Rentals being in
financial trouble?

Surely it was a credit card charge. Organise a 'charge back'!! And do it
immediately. Your bank will explain how to go about it!!

Also contact the NT Consumers Affairs Dept - and the local Darwin newspaper!

$5,000 in credit card interest - for one month - on a $5,100 deposit -
BULLSH*T!!

Your post has no credibility at all!!!

Hi, did you get the bond back? How? I have the same problem - ongoing
for 1.5 months now - $5000 is costing me in creditcard interest! Office
of Fair trading (Queensland) notified.

Thanks

He did NOT say, "It is costing me $5000 in credit card interest."
