Help I need some advice

I recently started work for a new employer after 6 years with my previous employer, In January 2013 I discovered that my new employer had registered me as a 5% shareholder in his business, I then went on to discover that he had attempted to open a business bank account in my name (HSBC can confirm this) he then drove me to the bank where I point blank refused to open an account for him.

Since I refused to open an account for him my life has been a living hell, my monthly salary is always 2 weeks late (so I am paid mid month) and I haven't had my business expenses paid for over 2 months, as a result I have paid hundreds of pounds in bank charges due to unpaid direct debit charges and have 3 defaults against my name.

Also the other people who work there refuse to speak English (2 OR 3 can't admittedly) however everyone speaks Urdu including my boss... plus I am pretty sure he is paying the staff who work in the scanning centre cash in hand.

Any advice would be appreciated

    Whats the business? did your boss give explanation to the account?
    All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    1. Look for another job. Then when you've found one -
    2. Report him to the police for identity theft for the bank account opening.
    3. Report him to HMRC for the suspected cash in hand payments.
