Just now the child bought 120 early education classes, but the training institution suddenly closed, and a piece of paper was posted at the door for the group to communicate, but the communication was useless for several months, and it was useless to find regulatory complaints and call the police, saying that this was an economic dispute, and let you go to the court to sue and solve it.
But it's only a few thousand dollars, and the lawyer's fees are much more expensive than this, so how can it be resolved in court?
Luckily, I gathered dozens or hundreds of victims to go through the class action lawsuit, and finally won the lawsuit after spending a lot of energy, only to find that the company was a limited liability system, and there was no money in the account, at most the legal representative was pulled into the integrity blacklist, and that's it.
The court can't do anything about it, as long as the characterization of this matter is still an economic dispute, then it can only be handled in this way.
Gyms, barber shops, beauty shops, cake shops, chain restaurants and other prepaid shops are the hardest hit areas of this situation, many people want to cry without tears, once the business runs away there is no way at all, even if it consumes a lot of time and finally can't get their hard-earned money.
This situation has been going on for a long time, but with the development of the industry, even if it only takes one or two years to accompany consumers through the judicial process and finally get an integrity blacklist, you can rely on hundreds of thousands or even millions of debts, many bosses are unwilling, too troublesome, too delayed to make money.
So a new profession appeared, a professional shopkeeper, who was responsible for the aftermath of the cleaning up work, so that the bosses could quickly and repeatedly cut leeks.
About 3 months to half a year before the official closure of the store, the professional store closure will intervene and ask the owner to come up with the bottom account, conduct a "background check" on the entire store to assess the debt, and then charge 10~15% of the total capital hole for the service commission.
After the negotiation is completed, the contract is signed with the boss, and the professional store closure person takes over the entire store, changes the legal representative and equity, and reduces the registered capital.
After doing this, you can already run away, but the professional store closure person will continue to operate the store for another 3~6 months with professional ethics, disguise it as a normal boss, and then announce the closure of the store to ensure that the real boss can land safely, and you can't even reach the safe landing of his economic disputes after going through the judicial process.
When encountering black-hearted professional store closures, they will cut the last money before the final closure under the pretext of store celebration and year-end feedback.
When encountering more black-hearted professional store closures, they will also sell consumers' information to the black industry, and pull consumers into the refund group before cutting another one.
The professional shopkeeper industry appeared in 2019, began to grow after 2020, and has now become an encyclopedia entry.
Therefore, this is not a rare and occasional case, but has become a large-scale industry behavior, and even gave birth to industry slang.
The industry name of professional store closure is the door dog, the division of labor is very clear, and there is a whole industry chain to deal with this matter.
Among them, the front end is called the bottom dog, which is responsible for collecting projects, collecting debts, and doing a good job in the early stage.
First of all, the bottom dog is responsible for promotion, searching for the boss who needs "help", and taking the "business" to the door.
Then I am responsible for negotiating the price with the boss, reviewing the materials, and signing the contract.
After everything is done, the bottom dog is responsible for finding the debtor, the industry has also formed a scale, there are many intermediaries, you can quickly find the old man and the old lady and cancer patients, and then pull these people over as a new legal person and major shareholder, the industry is called "dog license".
Then the front-end work is over, and the work is handed over to the back-end "watchdog", who is responsible for maintaining the operation of the store for a period of time, keeping the door in check, and putting the finishing touches on it.
Watch dogs are not a person, or even a group of people, but a group of professions, but they are not so finely divided, collectively known as watchdogs.
Some of these people are responsible for operation and management, some are responsible for accompanying consumers to play legal disputes, some are responsible for coping with supervision, and some are responsible for transferring money and laundering to make false accounts, because they are not only taking one project, but multiple projects are operating at the same time, and it is most efficient to let the most professional people do the most professional things.
Please believe in the power of professionalism, this group of people thoroughly understand the laws and regulations, to ensure that consumers do not get a dime after going to the court to litigate, the account is guaranteed to be clean, and the legal responsibility is guaranteed not to be on the head of a second person other than the debtor.
Isn't this a scam?
Yes, to be honest, it's a scam, a professional scam, but the problem is that you can't be serious.
In order to avoid risks, there are three non-pick-ups for professional store closures, that is, those who have already reported signs of thunderstorms, those who have been complained about too much, and those who have been on the news, so as not to be characterized as fraud.
All in all, the scale of the store to be taken over cannot be too large, the capital hole of each single business is between hundreds of thousands and millions, and the people who close the store can earn tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per order.
As long as the professional store closers control the number of consumers harmed by each store within a few hundred, and the amount of loss per person is controlled within a few thousand yuan, then there will be basically no accidents.
Even if you call the police, it is an economic dispute, and it is recommended that you go to court to sue.
If you have to say that this is a fraud, then it is fine, but you need to provide solid evidence, and you can't say that you suspect that this is a fraud, then you will be charged with fraud.
But the most you can do is to be suspicious, where is the solid evidence? How can a professional shopkeeper let ordinary consumers catch the evidence?
There are only a few people who need to deal with the professional closure of the store in the end, and the probability of a god who can dig up evidence of fraud is basically zero.
If you want to characterize fraud, you can basically only hope to attract the attention of your superiors, ask for it to be dealt with by name, and the criminal police can search for relevant evidence.
As long as you don't touch the super chain store and don't go to the hot search of public opinion, there is no possibility for professional store closures to overturn.
And professional store closures are not the kind of play that disappear directly after closing, but professional store closures, and there are a full set of methods to appease customers after closing, what to negotiate and solve, what to make a refund plan and so on, and they are all quite professional.
Although it's all nonsense that drags on time, and it won't give money in the end, at least it's very sincere in its attitude, and its attitude towards supervision is also very good, and it seems that he is a good citizen who is willing to take responsibility, and from the perspective of the police and regulators, it's even much better than the vast majority of real bosses who run away.
Every year, a large number of gyms and barbershops close their doors and run away, leaving countless holes and complaints, and it is impossible to distinguish which ones are real bosses and which ones are professional closings.
But the priority to spend energy on dealing with is definitely those who have a bad attitude, and the professional store closers with a good attitude will definitely not be the priority to strike.
After a year or two, consumers are tired, the anger that they had just closed has disappeared, and the matter has slowly disappeared.
Consumers don't ask, supervision doesn't check, and all the professional store closure pays is to send a person to answer all questions for more than a year, and this person may also be responsible for the aftermath of several stores at the same time.
Compared with those bosses who are unfamiliar with the first time running away, the aftermath methods of professional store closures are much more refined and professional.
The practice of professional closers is to exploit legal loopholes, but they are not completely drilled.
If it is strictly implemented in accordance with the law, the civil law does not punish the professional shopkeepers, but the criminal law can, the problem is that the professional shopkeepers accurately grasp the disconnect between the legal provisions and the actual operation.
Ideally, everyone can sue according to the law, and the judicial system will deal with every prosecution in strict accordance with the law.
However, in reality, there is a cost to prosecute according to the law, and the cost is huge, and the judicial system also has a cost to dispose of the prosecution according to the law, and the cost is huge.
Under a certain scale of economic disputes, the cost of the legal system is higher than the benefit, and the law will become invalid, and professional closed-door people take advantage of this loophole.
The scale of each dispute is very small, but the accumulation is not a small amount of money, and under the small profits and quick turnover, professional store closures have become a profiteering industry.
If consumers are willing to negotiate, then negotiate well, endless negotiation, if there is a question, then let you take legal means to protect your rights, the person who closes the store respects the law more than you, what can you do?
A lawyer said that the behavior of the person who closed the shop is suspected of a series of crimes such as obstruction of liquidation, illegal business operation, contract fraud, etc., but these are all ideals before they can be convicted, and the actual situation is the same as what I said above, you have to have evidence to convict, and it is impossible to convict people based on your suspicion alone.
And these evidence ordinary consumers will definitely not be able to get, and even ordinary police are difficult to get, only the criminal police out to search for evidence is possible, but according to the procedure for the criminal police to go out of the criminal case first, and small-scale educational institutions, gyms, barber shops, cake shops, etc. belong to absolute small and micro private enterprises.
It is absolutely impossible to file a criminal case against such a company based on tens of thousands of reports of economic disputes and false suspicions, and the consequences of this case are more terrible than the rampant professional closure of stores.
Today's professional store closures have spread in a large number of cities, constantly changing vests, and are responsible for finishing up gyms and beauty shops, which has seriously damaged the industry ecology.
Originally, the cost of these industry bosses running away was very small, but now there are even fewer professional shopkeepers.
After the advance payment is collected, the money is hollowed out for a period of time, and the money is transferred to the professional store closer, and the store is opened in another place and then continues to collect the advance payment.
The source of their huge profits is all the people's money, hard-earned money, because they dare not provoke a lot of money, dare not engage in large-scale, specifically aimed at the money bags of ordinary people, each person only cuts you a few hundred or thousands of yuan, and slowly makes a fortune.
It is true that there are not many cuts in one fell slash, but isn't a few thousand yuan money? A few hundred yuan is also money, and it is not easy for ordinary people to earn this money.
This kind of fraud specifically aimed at the people's hard-earned money, a typical legal loophole, the scale of the industry has become so large that it has become a separate encyclopedia entry, shouldn't it be managed?
