Edits in *bold* to protect case and clients.
Dear all
I moved out of my house on Friday and currently got my life in storage while I prepare for a new life in *county name*. I lost my home as a direct result of *company name* not paying my interest payments, and I also lost my business as I ran a *business type* from my home.
I spent nearly 30 years stripping wood and cultivating a beautiful home and garden for my clients and pupils. It was a haven. I’m single, I have no children (not through choice) and my home and business was my life. I risked my equity with *company name* as I had an interest only mortgage that had rocketed sky high because I had some bad builders take me to the cleaners about 10 years ago. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to make the capital repayment on retirement and this investment would provide me with a solution.
The reality of not living in my own home and the difficulties of living in other people’s houses is slowly dawning on me that the future looks bleak. After nearly one year I still feel unable to talk publicly not even to my friends or family about what happened to me because I still feel so incredibly stupid and I’m too proud to tell people that I took such a crazy risk. I told people (even the family) that I would give up my life to care for my mum. As it happens that is a good thing, so I guess nothing is all bad. I have let my house so it’s not over yet, but the reality is I doubt I can ever go back again and I’m heartbroken.
I’m sharing this with this group, in confidence, not to burden you all, because I know each and every person on this email list is here because you too are suffering hardship, but I share it as a reminder as to why we are here, and what we are fighting for, and the importance of sticking together through thick and thin as we fight for our lives against the greed and evil of this family. It is clear by their actions against us, they have no compassion, care or comprehension as to the effect their actions have had on others.
In spite of all the difficulties of coming this far, I still feel confident that I’m in the right place and that this is the best chance of recovery we are likely to get. I have a feeling that *alternative solution* is not going to be the magic wand people are hoping for but I hope it’s a motivating enough force for *the company directors* to make an early settlement.
My business was my life, my clients were like my family, the community I was an integral part of. I am bereft and lost at the moment and I’ve cried a lot. This court case for me is a tiny glimmer of hope for the future and thank you *case lawyer* and Nikki for all you have done bringing things this far. I sincerely hope the universe gets behind *the company directors*, and he gets what’s coming, but more importantly, I look forward to a glorious victory and my life back in London again one day.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing this but I felt it was relevant, because at the end of every contract is a real live human being suffering hardship and heartache, and I hope for all the investors there are happier days ahead.
