Bounce Back Loan Abuse with Strict Bankruptcy Restrictions Six individuals face tough measures, including bans on directing companies and borrowing over £500. This move is part of ongoing efforts to target Covid loan misconduct. The Service secures Bankruptcy Restrictions Orders (BROs) and Undertakings (BRUs), curbing dishonest or blameworthy conduct. Director disqualifications and bankruptcy restrictions related to Covid scheme abuse reach 757 and 69, respectively, in 2023-24. Robert Peck, Director at the Insolvency Service, has emphasised their commitment to tackling loan fraud. Recent cases include individuals like Robert King and Abdullah Khan, facing lengthy restrictions for false loan applications. BROs and BRUs limit activities like company directorship and borrowing, aiming to curb financial misconduct and protect creditors' interests. Sign up - https://www.simpleliquidation.co.uk/

Are you struggling with an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) and unsure of your obligations? Here's what you need to know about IVAs: An IVA is a formal debt solution for those who are insolvent, unable to pay debts. After seeking advice, you'll work with an Insolvency Practitioner to create a proposal, detailing your debts and proposed repayments. Creditors may request modifications to your proposal, which are conditions for their agreement. A "Chairman’s report" summarises creditor decisions. Annually, your financial situation is reviewed, potentially adjusting payments. If you can't afford payments, discuss options with your Insolvency Practitioner promptly. Changes in employment, like redundancy or bonuses, affect IVA terms. Windfalls and property ownership also impact repayments. For expert guidance on IVAs, our friendly team at Simple Liquidation is here to guide you through the process. Call our team on 0800 246 5895 or email us at mail@simpleliquidation.co.uk.

Bank of England's sluggish interest rate adjustments Bank of England's sluggish interest rate adjustments leave thousands of companies in dire straits.
