Good morning, been a while since i’ve been on here but here we go again ?

Had my own company for the purpose of truck driving as a self employed driver, i am listed as the director. took out a bounce back loan of 8k to cover expenses. Company hasn’t traded for over 2 yrs and i can’t afford to pay it anymore. I have a car on finance and have a posh mattress on finance and that’s all that is in my name. It’s my partners house with a housing association (rented) and all in it belongs to her.

Question time what can these clowns do to enforce the debt and what should i do with the love letters from Westcot credit services?


Look forward to your advice.

Study the sections of this second one, as they are quite informative.

Thank you for that, basically saying that insolvency is the only get out of jail card? What is likely to happen if i carry on with striking the company off. The bank have prevented the first application. Insolvency is a fair chunk of money too is it not ? I used the BBL in my personal account when i was struggling to pay bills.

I don't think you've fully studied it have you? There are options which buy you a bit of time. We're trying to help you here. In the end, what you do is up to you. You said it was a bounce back loan, so I am assuming you applied under that scheme. It seems unlikely that you can claim unenforceability, but we don't have the full facts, for instance you've just mentioned that the bank blocked an attempt to strike the company off.

Were you a limited company? If so that means you have limited liability does it not? I have known many people that have had a limited company over the years and have gone bump with no come back on them in fact most started up a new company within weeks?
the debt belongs to the company not you personally?

The OP said he was listed as director, so sounds like a limited company, but perhaps he can clarify. There is a potential issue, as he said he used the BBL in his personal account.

and i appreciate all the help i can get, my apologies if my previous message suggested otherwise, i’ve tried my best to follow what was in the link you were kind enough to share and was just trying to understand it and ask if there was any other options? I understand the payment holiday and had requested this but due to me wanting to strike the company off it’s been refused. Apologies for lack of details in my previous posts.

When did you take out the loan?

I’m sorry i can’t recall when i took the loan out i think it may have been around 2 yrs ago

and yes it was a ltd company sorry forgot to add that ????

Stressed76;n1547870I’m sorry i can’t recall when i took the loan out i think it may have been around 2 yrs ago

So, you took it out around two years ago and, according to you, the company hasn’t traded for over 2 yrs ??

Correct so i took the loan out before i had to take a full time job to pay the bills hence around two years ago. I wish i could be more specific but i don’t have access to my business account anymore, sorry
