OMI has gone bankrupt
I just got a letter from them. They took my money and filed for bankruptcy. What a joke. Nicolette was so nice, but I feel ripped off.

do you have any details? thanks!
I'm in the same situation. Does anyone know who their bankruptcy trustee is?
I am also a client and could not find anywhere stating they went bankrupt and I too received a letter to that affect. We need to talk and find what to do next. I also received a letter from OMI Medical. I have searched and found no bankruptcy filed for either OMI or Nicolette Oakwell-Morgan except for one in 1991. I would like to contact you by email to discuss our options as to how to proceed in getting a refund! My email address is duquettem@cogeco.ca. If you prefer to call my number is (519)739-2464. If no answer, please leave a message and I'll call you back ASAP. Thanks, Lorraine!
Is there anything we can do to get our money back? Who can we talk to about this? I was told by the police to call the City of Toronto for more information because OMI would have a liscence and maybe can help us with our next step...?
I contacted the landloard RIO Can and they also are awaiting that information. And if nicolett actually filled for bankruptcy in 1991 then she has scamed us all as she could not be in a position to own her own company. We should all get together or some how contact eachother because we are stronger in numbers.
Does anyone know how we might get their home address? Please post it, if you have it.
Hello everyone, how frustrating that we are in this situation.!!!
TEEDOFF: can you please post the website where you found the info about the other bankruptcy? I'm really curious to see that - we prob. all are! Thank you!
Also, was anyone here part of their "refund" study? Or were you regular clients? And how much (approx) is everyone owed?
Here are some things maybe we can do, not sure how to go about all of them though, but anyways these are ideas:
-Find out who bankruptcy trustee is
-Find out if we (clients) are listed as creditors. If we're not....WE SHOULD BE!!
-contact authorities to find out if the "clinical study" violated any Canadian regulations or laws
-contact a consumer watchdog, maybe something like CBC Marketplace?
-contact Bankruptcy Superintendent of Canada to see how to get this investigated further
-contact Better Business Bureau
-contact Consumer Affairs
-find out if the business is still "in business" ... call the Board of Trade maybe? Or other organizations that can confirm whether the company is bankrupt
-collect any information online about the company and owners (other businesses? other bankruptcies?) - any and every scrap of info - you never know what might be useful to whoever can help us
-report it as fraud? I don't know how or who.
-a court case, maybe?
If anyone has any ideas, please post. Maybe we can start an email thread among us to discuss stuff more privatly?
there is no way that her "clinical research study" passed ethics. and she can't dress something up as a research study if it isn't.
I think she took the money and ran. She was looking to retire and instead of selling the business, she just closed shop
Hi. I would just like to mention that they sent out the letter and myself and other clients have been told we can get our money back if we paid by credit card. Myself and my mother (who was with them 30 years ago) were able to go about it this way. I do know there company and they are bankrupt because of the money promised to them to go through with the publication they were putting forward. However because a laser company went bankrupt and a doctor pulled out they were told they had no choice but to go with bankruptcy. Finding out they had been bankrupt before was even more upsetting, however looking into the information I could I found that it was because 400,000 dollars was stolen from the company and they gave up all their assets in order to continue treatment. Supposedly this time they still did not have enough going into personal bankruptcy for their clients. I have since cooled off -- especially since I recieved funds back because of their research into how to get clients back their money. I would think it's really sad that they spent 30 years in a business to only be taken down by big companies and doctors and have nothing since all money (when bankrupt) goes to the government to payback what they can. I hope in the future she can still find a way to publish her book and get the funds back to us as promised though (or for those of us can't right now).
