I've recently been contacted by someone I knew a while ago through my research work. In 2008 he had a small business debt, under 2 grand.
I don't have the full story but he went into hospital for treatment for a couple of weeks - he's getting on a bit now - and let it get out of hand.
The bottom line is that Price Waterhouse and associated scum have run up a "debt" of sixty grand with all sorts of creative book-keeping.
My friend hasn't been served very well by his own lawyer but it seems every way he turns they're coming after him for money.
Does anyone have any (intelligent) suggestions as to what he should do?
I thought at first the court wouldn't entertain this sort of nonsense but I've just seen something even more ridiculous where the High Court has given a judgment for over 300 grand over a relatively trivial property dispute.
Thanks in advance
