Australian fashion retailer General Pants Co says they've settled $69,000 bill amid court threat
General Pants Co was served with an insolvency claim on July 17 by supplier UCC Australia alleging the chain had failed to pay $69,835.92 owed for stock delivered.
According to a winding up application filed in the Victorian Supreme Court, UCC Australia alleged it had unpaid invoices for the supply of cameras and film between October and December 2024.
'The goods were delivered and accepted by the debtor and the invoiced amounts remain due and payable,' the document states.
The supplier sent General Pants Co a statutory demand for on June 17, requiring the alleged debt be paid within 21 days of service.
According to the court documents, General Pants Co failed to comply with the demand, with UCC Australia seeking a court order for a liquidator to be appointed to the company.
The matter has been listed before a Judicial Registrar on August 20.
But in a two-page response filed with the court on July 24, lawyers acting for General Pants Co signalled their intention to appear at the hearing and oppose the application.
The response claims the company opposes the application because the company is solvent and has paid UCC Australia's debt.
General Pants Co has been a staple in Australian fashion for more than 50 years and has 55 stores across Australia and New Zealand.
UCC is an importer, distributor and wholesaler of FMCG, supplying electricals and food to some of Australia's major retailers, including Myer, Big W, Kmart, Woolworths and Amazon.

Shock as Aus big bank increases interest rates
One of Australia's big four banks has quietly increased its home loan interest rates in a shock move, going against the grain just as another Big Four bank dropped theirs. ANZ's digital bank – ANZ Plus – which began offering home loans almost two years ago – emerged Thursday morning with a 0.16 percentage point rise in interest rates on comparison site Canstar's database. It showed the same hike for both residential and investments variable home loan interest rates on ANZ Plus, showing an increase from 5.59 per cent to 5.75 per cent per annum variable rate for new owner-occupier loans and up from 5.89pp to 6.05 per cent variable for investment properties. This as National Australia Bank was flagged to have put in a 0.25pp cut in tailored investment home loans fixed for one to two years, and a 0.1 per cent fall for those fixed for three and more years; as well as a residential fixed home loan rate cut of 0.1 points for interest only and 0.25pp for principal and interest. The surprise contrast has raised concern given ANZ Plus' shift into home loans in 2023 was touted by former ANZ CEO Shayne Elliot as the bank's future dominant distribution channel for home loans. No official statement on the move has been made by ANZ, but it did issue a media release over a series of changes to its home loan policies to make it easier for self-employed Aussies to qualify for home loans, including changes to the 3 per cent interest buffer used in calculations. The Reserve Bank is widely expected to cut the official cash rate at its Tuesday monetary policy meeting, and has already cut interest rates twice in 2025, dropping from 4.35pc to 3.85pc.
