After the bankruptcy of the company behind Car Driver Deals, it has become clear that the statement that they had about 3.000 cars on the road is incorrect. In reality, there were 2.100 contracts in progress and therefore fewer than 2.100 cars, as part of the contracts have the delivery of the car in the future. The sad conclusion of this is that, contrary to expectations, the car fleet of Car Driver Deals itself (the so-called Car Driver Fleet) almost certainly has no equity and there is little to gain for the victims who have often taken out high loans to prepare their vehicle. finance.

In a letter to the victims, law firm Delissen Martens informs us that, despite the trustees currently investigating the presence of other assets within Atvangarde BV, it seems that the pledgee cannot already be paid in full and that the sale of the cars no benefit can be paid to the victims. Because at least six companies are involved that are not yet bankrupt and that often operate under multiple trade names, this investigation takes time.

no report of fraud

In any case, it will take some time before the bankruptcy will be settled. The curator Mr. Broekmans will not report fraud. He does share my opinion that the directors will almost certainly be held personally liable, but the police and the Public Prosecution Service see this as a civil matter. They indicated that they did not have the capacity to investigate this. The trustees have indicated that they will almost certainly not take any action with regard to the personal loans provided by the bank or intermediaries. The settlement of the bankruptcy can easily take two years.
