Grant Thornton Claims Form Update

I have been speaking to a member of the Grant Thornton team regarding the forms we are being asked to fill in. They are VERY AWARE that there are problems and they are working on getting the problems sorted out.
For all of you asking about confirmation of receipt from them, again, they are working on this. To date they have over 300 enquiries so it might help if we give them a little time and space to deal with the problems we have highlighted, and try to avoid sending too many more questions to them until they have sorted the current problems. A lot of the queries are repeats and once they have dealt with the main points it should be a lot easier for us all.
One question that they are being inundated with is "Why do I have to fill in a form when you have all the records?" Here is Marcus Wide's reply to that question.
"As to why - it’s the statute that says creditors must make their claim in writing. This is usual in any insolvency anywhere that has a proper insolvency system including the US, Canada, the UK, Barbados, the whole Eastern Caribbean, NZ, Australia, Switzerland, Guatemala, Bahamas, and so on."
So it is a legal requirement, please do not keep asking this. If it could be done an easier way I am sure GT would have done it by now. Please don't clog up the system with this question.
I will keep you all posted with updates when and where appropriate. Please follow the blog and forum for more information. GT will also post answers to questions via these links to avoid having to answer dozens of enquiries all asking the same question, so if they do not reply to you personally, they will reply through their website, the forum or the blog.
I hope this helps, and again, please be patient, they are working flat out to get this claim system in place.
