    personal guarantees following Voluntary liquidation

    hi , I guess what you should do is plead poverty to the bank and send a detailed letter of your income / expenditure . Then make a single and final offer to clear this based on whatever money you can get your hands on ( relative etc .. ) Start stupidly low , say £3000 as it is all you have and...

    Is selling on Ebay or Amazon actually worth it?

    Fraudulent debt from large auction company

    Hi , I am positive that no listings are free on the site . I run an anchor store and I pay 1p a listing on 30 day GTC listings . So 450K listings ( I am intrigued to see who you are by the way ) would equate to £4500 in listing fees alone for every time your product lists . So if you are on...

The insolvency practioner should have advised you of this initially ? You...
