OK, it all started in 2016 when my sil borrowed the £20k to renovate the landlord premises he was renting for his businesses to improve the image, unfortunately it didn't last long after spending the money and the business closed down.
sil agreed to pay back the loan with in 12 months. unfortunately he couldn't pay the money due to no work. then he took him to court but my sil did not go as he was scared and dint tell no one.
it was only highlighted when they got charging order on the property, they tried to appeal but it was declined as it was after 14 days. it was decided the court he had to pay £1000 a month, when he looked at the dept it was for £38000, after the query the claimant said it was for rent and utilities bills.
he asked the court to reduced the payment and the court told them to contact the claimant and ask he can reduce the payments as it was decided in the hearing. after talking to the claimant he reduced the payment to £500 pm.
but he is still struggling to pay. both of them now worried of loosing home. looking back the landlord never said anything about bills which was £15000.[ he never gave him the lease at the time as it was word of mouth and trust].
also most interesting thing came up as the company closed in January 2017 and utilities bills were added on that company after january which was never paid but added on to my dept..
they have been advised to report to police for fraud. can they report this and what can they do to reverse the charging order. thank you.
