Well, I wouldn't deal with anyone who had been broke - very simple 5 minutes on line to do a directors check, and for 13K it would have been worthwhile wouldn't it? But then you know this as you have all the answers...

If you had operated under the protection of a LTD Co then would you have taken the hit personally?

so you wouldnt buy a bargain car in a private deal off a discharged BR?.....

as for my woes, yes, if id been a ltd company i would have had the cowards option, to dump on others the way i was dumped on, no-one i dealt with suffered loss, apart from a few banks and credit card companies, im an ordinary working (ex now) bloke and some of the suppliers i used (in fact most) were too, I now have mates who trust me, and who i can call on for a favour should i need one, HSBC wouldnt do fook all for me if id paid them, besides which, 1 or 2 were also bigger than me!

Well, I'd make sure that the car you were selling was yours to sell - it may belong to the OR.:rotfl:

Better you check yourself - no finance but the "owner" is fresh bankrupt and the OR hasn't managed to lift it yet.

Probably not unless I could guarantee good title. Why would it be a bargain unless the BR was trying to hide the asset from the OR/Creditors?

Ltd is not a cowards option - at best it protects honest people from getting the hit when things go wrong, at worst it allows easy rip offs.

I was always told that there are no friends in business - perhaps they meant never have business dealings with friends. The guys who worked for me all got 100% of their outstanding money - perhaps if they had been friends they would have defered a couple of weeks salary each, it would have been enough to prevent C&E taking me to the cleaners -

at last we agree.......

but then if i had been a ltd company and dumped on my suppliers wouldnt that be a) a rip off by me or b) an extended rip off by those ripping me off? where does the buck stop?....

i took responsibility for my supplier debts and (99%) of it got paid, im GLAD to say the little guys didnt suffer, even though THEY didnt credit check ME before working for me, even though i would have passed!

its taken me 54 years to get to it, how long did it take you?

dont tell him your name pike!

I had a house and a 100K's worth of plant, I lost neither.

I was mid 20's and after 3 years (not 6 months/ 1 year as now) I had saved up enough to pay my two creditors and got annulled from inception and struck off.

A few years down the line I have no mortgage, 1 house and two flats and reasonable savings because the whole experience was shameful and I didn't intend to go through it without gaining something from it.
