Creditors meeting to take place following closure of Omagh furniture shop

by Gráinne Connolly

Smiths furniture shop in Omagh went into voluntary liquidation recently, resulting in the closure of both their Omagh and Belfast stores. 

Customers of the shops have since taken to social media to express their anger, after paying hundred of pounds towards furniture that still hasn't been delivered. 

Many customers have tried contacting the company but have had no response. 

It was reported in the Uslter Herald that Alison Atkinson from Holywood, County Down had paid £2,550 for a suite of furniture purchased back in February.
Ms Atkinson was told on several occasions that it would be delivered, however over 5 months later the suite has still not been delivered and there's been no correspondence from Smith's. 

Ms Atkinson's daughter Marita Monaghan was also one of the customers to express their anger through facebook. 

PKF-FPM Accountants in Belfast are overseeing the company's liquidation and have confirmed that a large number of creditors have contacted their firm. 

A creditors meeting has now been organised for this Thursday at 11am at the accountants office on 1-3 Arthur Street Belfast. 

Only creditors will be allowed to this meeting, where they will be able to put forward their case and hopefully have any money issues resolved.
