Hello,
Well, after running two companies between 1996 and 2000, I left the country in September 2000 and arrived back in May 2004. I didn't pay my accountants when i left in September. for company 2, company 1 was wound down after my first girlfriend and I broke up in 1998. I was happily married in September 2000, and promply moved to luxembourg the following July.
My wife had a kid (not mine i later found), and 2 others, after a nasty fight, I end up with all 3 kids and back in England. At the same time I have a hefty mortgage on a house I'd bought as an investment, and am renting in surrey. Although I'm earning good money, I am totally broke at the same time. What with having 2 au-pairs and kids in school, 1 mortgage, 1 rental, and still paying my separated wife a monthly rate.
And of course, I have a tax investigation for years 1998-2001. i'm expecting a bill somewhere around £50k. I'm too scared to open the letters, my old accountant wants £3000 to finish off the accounts, and I have £0 savings. And am saving £0.00 money. The investment cannot be developed, so I cannot sell it to recover. If I sell it, I have a deficit with the mortgage company.
I feel between a rock and a hard place. What do I do?
