Remember how Hamstreet pledged to provide “regular updates” and paid a
communications firm to construct a website which has so far been used to
provide information at a rate slower than the postal mail? Today I sent
AEMReceiver this email with subject “Regular updates”:
Hi,
It would be good if we could get just a bullet list per week on findings
and activities. That is not too much to ask. A simple list: “This week,
we:” followed by “Next week, we plan to:”. “ A summary of the court
filings by Hamstreet and others with results/implications would also be
important for creditors to know. However long it takes”, is an unsettling
phrase to people who have been kept in the dark a long time already.
You have constructed a website that has not been updated, save for the
Documents section, and thus has no advantage over a postal mail packet
that arrived weeks ago. The landing page contains stale information,
which really should be updated weekly in support of your claim that you
paid for the website for the purpose of communication superior to postal
mail. That landing page could provide one place where creditors could get
a snapshot of the process as it unfolds. You have failed to acknowledge
(after seeing most of the group in person) that the creditors are older
people who are not digitally savvy, so it would be of benefit for them to
have one place, one link to visit for a summary.
If this arrangement truly is for the benefit of creditors (who sat unpaid
and in the dark for many weeks on end before this arrangement came into
being), you really should at this point have some empathy for the
creditors’ perspective: what happened to our money? Also, you are making
money hand over fist when many people are in dire financial straits
because of this. This creates and sustains ill feeling, understandably.
Sharing information about the process (since it is advertised to to be to
our benefit ultimately) might be somewhat mitigating. We have been told
we will see no money this year, but it also appears we will remain in the
dark without information.
You have pledged transparency and a commitment to communication. You tout
your firm’s fine reputation. When will you put these things into practice?
