Anyone in Wales just been watching The Ferret(a watchdog type of programme)Anyway caught some of it between running back + fro to dgd7 + dgs3 who are staying the night.A woman had refused to pay £2,800 for her double glazing as it was faulty so they took her to court,which she didn't attend the judge issued a bankruptcy order against her.She now owed £6,000 which she couldn't afford to pay and still disputing the faulty workmanship.
They then went for a charging order on her house which was granted,she didn't attend court again as she said she didn't recieve notification.
Two years on her debt has risen to £30,000 thanks to all the costs,the bankruptcy firm alone charges £244 an hour :eek: and her house is now being repossesed all for an orginal loan of £2,800.
I really felt for her.
