The Vivat Trust has ceased trading and operation, going into liquidation on 6 August.
The Vivat Trust writes (16 July 2015):
Mary Currie-Smith and Louise Baxter of Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP have been instructed by the directors of The Vivat Trust Limited and Vivat Management Services Limited to place the two businesses into Liquidation. Notices of the relevant meetings have been issued and the companies will go into Liquidation on 6 August 2015. The Insolvency Practitioners have been informed by the directors of the Companies that a number of customers have paid deposits or paid in full for the short-term rental of properties owned by the Vivat Trust Limited. Once appointed the Liquidators will investigate whether or not the deposits were held in a Trust account and, if appropriate, look into the possibility of returning monies paid.
