Indeed and I got the feeling that he was running some kind of Ponzi scheme where he was borrowing money off new mugs in order to pay off the old mugs that he'd borrowed from.
Also I found it pretty funny in the earlier episode where the squatters were being evicted and they were the ones who phoned the Police! I also love when the fraudsters ring the police only for them to turn up and be on the Sheriffs' side! |

Noticed that this series they would appear to be concentrating on squatters of buildings a bit more

Yes, on the show today were more pixelated [ funny that they shy away from fame ] crusty new age hippies who think that breaking into others' property and living in utter squalor is a good life choice.

And another company goes bankrupt but continues trading under another name. rolleyes.
And then the new company goes into liquidation too. Betterview Windows. This should really be illegal. |

Silly question perhaps, but how do you sell a car at auction without the Keys or Log Book?

The dispute with Jet 2, whilst the outcome was probably correct cant say I felt sorry for the "victim", he came across as a bit of a t***

The lack of keys or a V5C won't particularly worry them. |

Apart from the usual TV habits of constant updates and recaps an enjoyable trip into the murky depths of dodgy dealers and shady shopkeepers.

The Government really need to do something about businesses changing hands when they have debts.
The Off License shop owner had no right to sell the shop to a 'friend' when they had such a big debt. Businesses should only be able to sell if the money they get goes directly to the creditors. |

Kevin seems to be coming into his own a little more - he is going from "Bag Man" to "Main Man" in some cases featured.
I feel sorry for Pete, he often seems to be sent out on his own. I can't take to the new Sheriff Tom - it's that beard

Petes a capable bloke...."it's an arrestable offence to stop me doing my job". ![]() What seems to be coming out more in this series is the apparent lack of communication between the Court and the respondents. One in todays programme seemed pretty bad where the guy told the HCEO's they were the first people connected to the case he's seen! He never denied owing the money but felt annoyed he'd not been given the opportunity to put his side of the matter and at the lack of the Courts communication. He seemed a pretty decent and honest character too (must have been as he paid off in full within 14 days) rather than the usual dross. |

I sympathised with him a bit as he certainly didn't seem to be in an area likely to cause an obstruction but obviously the Port of London River Authority saw it differently. No doubt moorings on the Thames are quite expensive and it seemed the sole reason for shifting him was forcing him to re-locate to somewhere he'd have to pay.
If he could find someone with an actual dock or go somewhere owned by someone (like a wharf) that is off the river itself he can go where he likes. It does seem that with the people visited this series they are getting away with making the Sheriffs hang around for hours. I'm surprised theres no ' money within an hour or we will take everything and leave' set rule. I know they can charge for the time but that's seemingly not being mentioned this time. People would have had to have CCJ's against them to be taken to the High Court, they often don't even bother turning up so if the Sheriffs are at your door they should be able to start taking. All involved had their chance, had the cases judged by the court and lost. Time to pay. I'm guessing the increase in squatters is due to the increased role the Sheriffs would have enforcing it now the law has changed making it illegal to squat in a home, so they've moved to taking over businesses as well. Would be interesting for the building owners to seize their property to help pay for the damage, not to mention someone being arrested for illegal drug manufacture, hacking into the electricity etc

To a car dealer. They'll know exactly what to do to obtain both, it's just a little bit more work so they'll factor that in to what they are willing to pay for the car in the first place.

There should probably be a law about it as it seems unfair that one person may be charged extra while another person may not. |

I can relate to this personally involving a matter some years ago where i was informed a warrant for my arrest had been issued for non-attendance at Court. This was the first i knew of my requirement at Court! I had to get a Solicitor on the case immediately but they insisted they had notified me and their excuse was "it must have got lost in the post!" |

Ok, but I wouldnt want to buy a car knowing their is a duplicate set of keys & a log book duplicate somewhere, especially if the original owner disputes ownership.
Also, if I have the registration number of your car then I can write to the DVLA, sending them £25, and request a new V5C in my own name. They will then write to you, as the recorded keeper, and ask if this is OK? If you either don't reply within the two weeks they give you, or, even if you don't receive their letter, they will then send me the V5C, anyway! How do you know there isn't a duplicate set of keys and/or a duplicate V5C around somewhere for your car? The answer is, you don't! |

Still more company name changes and owners putting assets into their names rather than the company's name to avoid debts.
The law needs clearing up on this. Why are the news not using these people as scapegoats for the problems of the economy? They must be tying up a lot of money doing this? |
