charged with fraud by misrepresentation

[anton-1952]

I am to appear in crown court on the above.The amounts involved are about £11,000 in total which were altering the payee's name on 15 cheques to the name of another bank account. There are another 2 charges which hopefully, on solicitor's advice, I will plead not guilty to which were 1) using software registered to another company and forging their director's signature to continue using that software. The purge certificate was handed to another person to take to my ex co-director for him to sign and this person therefore must have forged this signature.2) telling a company that took over our telephone line without our confirmation or our landline operator's agreement. The company were told that we were ceasing our business,because of ill health, and about 4 months down the line we decided to continue it and then after a further 8 months paid the termination fee invoice that we had forgotten about.
The company was a jointly run company with me only receiving expenses and about one pound a hour in salary. The 15 cheques which were diverted were used to pay off the final £12,000 plus of a debt which was still owed to the previous owner of the client list. I paid this previous owner £33,000 out of my own money. For this I only received £15,000 for my half share of the client list/shares and suffered a loss of over £8,000 I had paid out for legitimate expenses of the business. The previous client list owner threatened me with letters, phone calls and at my house,when he brought with him a thug to make sure I paid. He then sent a threatening text message followed by a slashing of one of my car's tyres a couple of weeks later, this resulted in a near head on collision as our car skidded off thec road. The first threats were in 2004 and 2005 and the final threats in September 2007. I also owe a personal friend £36,000 I had borrowed off him to buy the client list and am now in a financial mess with my wife being very ill and unable to work. I intend to plead guilty to the 15 counts. Any advice on what sentence I can expect? Any advice also on what financial help my wife can get,already turned down for dependent living allowance twice,to give her money to continue to pay the debts and some money to live on. I am also the unpaid carer for her mum and uncle, in that it is me that has to transport them and my wife to doctors and hospital appointments?

Have a guess what I told my doctor of my current circumstances when I went to see him about my ulcerative collitis and had informed the hospital in good time as I knew I was appearing at court.One of his replies was that it was people like me that caused the current riots and then refused to speak to me. Thats why I made a reference to that in reply to PINK KITTENS.

Your doctor refused to speak to you because you are due in court?
I think you've gone in to fantasy land

[bednobs]

i really still don't get this. Oh well

[factor-fiction]

I don't get it either, bednobs-any of it.
If a doctor really did act like this, anton-1952, you should report him to the the General Medical Council (is that the right body, sqad?) immediately.

Hi folks,

It appears I may be given a suspended sentence but a very large POCA fine and compensation. Wish I'd risked been violently beaten up or even worse been murdered at least there would have been a large payment out to me or my widow for victim compensation. What a society where it pays you better to live off other people and sponge than to work hard and try and better yourself. From now on I only work for my family and nobody else, because one thing it has taught me is to stop playing the fool!

[factor-fiction]

I'm glad your happy but I still don't understand any of this. If you are guilty of theft/fraud by misrepresentation then i wouldn't describe that as 'working hard and trying to better yourself'

[factor-fiction]

^I'm glad you're happy...

sometimes crime can be hard work. Has anyone ever tried to strip the lead off a church roof?

[anton-1952]

Ha Ha Ha, Got away with it, no prison sentence, no suspended prison sentence and nothing to pay back.My ex business partner, the one I was supposed to have taken £15.000 off, is now being sued by me for £150,000 that is owed to me in unpaid salary,expenses,fees and goodwill for selling him the business I legitimately paid for. Perhaps if I am successful I will pay back all the tax credits I received.

Anyone that accepts £1 an hour in a job and hands over thousands to get their hands on a client list in said same job has a screw loose. Add to that the admittance of what I would call stupidity fraud and you deserve all you get mate.

You talk a load of broccoli and balls and guess what you should be castrated because yo have no use for yours. I've now successfully come out of the other side of the tunnel and am successfully suing the other party for lost salary and expenses.In fact I think the other party has no fight left in him and bankruptcy would probably kill him and if it does I will be chuffed to bits
