Don't even think I know who I was but got totally hooked on gambling for about four months took over my life did not matter what I won I didn't seem happy till I gave every penny back gambling crazy amounts of money got to the point where I hated myself that much didn't want to live but have two teenager = will take me a long time to forgive myself hit rock bottom but luckily had a friend that listened and was strong enough to take credit cards away from me and allow me pocket money while my sanity returned - so much for lifes begins at forty. The company got further into debt and we were facing liquidation ourselves on hearing this a business contact offered the assistance of business advice quite an high powered business person that seemed trustable. They analised our accounts said that we could not trade out of this and said they had contacts that could call a creditors meeting and liquidate the company. At this point we had business debts but the business was not really into overdraft that we were personally guaranteed to. Basically they said the business contact could take the business forward they would wind up the old company and we would get a decent salary and shares and profits in the new company -this never happened. Meanwhile we were asked to pay another months salary out of our guarnateed overdraft while they sorted paye out and told to give back the customer deposits another 10,000.00 to them so they could honour customer order also we ended up paying approx 9,000.00 to who I am now aware were ambulance chasers. The new business went forward but they never changed utilites etc and left all the bills running up in our old company name they only changed the leases on the properties - we were extremely stupid each time we asked something they said everything was completely legal - gets worse when I started getting suspicious i sought legal advise and realised what was happening = they had never bought anything but just changed the leases and that everything in the three shops still belonged to the ltd company and this was not in liquidation we decided to go empty the shops mmm bad idea although everything belonged to the company and we were so indignant to what had happened the police got involved and first time in our fairly respectable lifes spend twenty hours in a cell - thats an experience - we got released morning after no charges. This woman that has basically planned this from the beginning is so plausable that she is now getting away with all she has done and unless you are wealthy and can afford a solicitor no one seems to want to know. The worse is the people (ambulance chasers they took us to were advising us saying get as much credit as you can basically so we could pay them and now I think a bro is definate but we need to trade and I know for a fact if I get a bro and for the gambling I deserve it even though I think I must have had some kind of mental breakdown thats the only way I can rationalise it she will make sure everyone sees it. If anyone is still awake as anybody heard of a situation like this - do I tell the OR the truth or will i make everything worse for myself and the other director. She had recently complained to the police about us taking the goods and they say it could come up infront of crown prosecution because there may have been a couple of things bought by her since she changed the lease - life so unfair the police can surely see this is fraud but because its not major she will probably get away with it becasue not in public interest.
