Renson Transport Shutdown

[and1920]

An old dispatcher at Renson Transport called me yesterday.

I use to give this carrier so many loads.

They have completely shutdown at this point and owe a hefty sum of money to banks, mechanics and drivers.

Thread 'Renson Transport - Mississauga, ON'

Does anyone have any payment history on:
Renson Transport
2705 Slough St.
Mississauga, ON L4T1G2
905-673-2500

We did a shipment for them in Nov 2019 and has been promised that the cheque is in the mail since Jan 17. On Feb 7 we were told to wait a few more days for the cheque to arrive which is usually an indication that the AP person found the cheque haphazardly laying on their desk and they'll put it in the mail right away but are too embarrassed to tell the truth. A week later we are getting the run a-rounds - the dispatcher keeps hanging up on us, the AP person is never available...

Just received a call from Money Mart in Hamilton, they are trying to cash Renson's cheque at their location and they are looking for us to confirm our cheque #. Seems really shady.

Any suggestions what we should do? I can't really stop them from using Money Mart but I also want to protect myself in the event they claim that we didn't pay them.

Take all they can get and back to India?? Sure sounds like they are trying to get around the courts taking cheques to Money Mart. Probably illegal in the courts eyes IMHO.

Tell Money Mart you have to look into it and get back to them in a month or so. Your not refusing to pay you have to check to ensure nothing illegal is going on. Or they can go to the bank and deposit it

We had a similar type of situation years ago involving a Money Mart. Someone was trying to cash one of our cheques that had been altered. Kudos to Money Mart for checking it out. The most important question is, who was trying to cash the cheque? An employee or officer of Renson? If you legitimately owe them money for services rendered, then it really doesn’t matter where they decide to cash your cheque. Regardless if it is a bank or a Money Mart, you will have the cancelled cheque showing someone received your funds, which is proof of payment.

Maybe drive by their location and see if the gates are locked and there is a notice of a receiver involved. The receiver is the person that should be notified.

I don't know how Money Mart would be able to cash a cheque made to a business. If that was the case people would be stealing cheques all over the place and walking them down to Money Mart.

I called the local Money Mart. It can be done but the business papers, incorporation documents, IDs have to be provided along with invoices. That all goes to corporate who will review the data and if all looks above board the cheque is cashed. I assume they are looking at PPSA records to see if AR is liened (which it almost always is)

I'm surprised that a receiver has not been identified yet. A company that large with the rumour that the bank has pulled funding, almost always has an interim receiver within hours.
