NatWest giving my money away.

[paul mullan]

Hi
This is my first visit and it is not about bank charges yet!!

I ran a business where the other Director was forging my signature and withdrawing large sums of cash from Nat West Bank. The tellers knew it was not me but still give him the cash (many times).

The company is in liquadation and due to insolvency law the bank will not give me any information and the liquadator will not give them permission to give me information. So I can not establish how much has been withdrawn, suffice to say I think it could be 100,000 pounds plus it was a main reason why the company went bust.

The case was referred to the Police, the banks fraud section etc some 3 years ago, no action has been taken. The chap in question admitted the offence at the creditor's meeting in December 2001

The bank account was overdrawn by 38,000 pounds at ceasation the Bank have not yet made a claim to the Liquidator. The bank wrote to me two and a half years ago to say they would pursue the case against me with utmost speed (personnel guarantee). Nothing has happened.

The two Liquidators have managed to divy up the monies they recovered, 75,000 pounds approx in fees etc (there's a surprise) between them.

I beleive there is nothing I can do until the company has been disolved,
Is this True?

The six year rule comes into play this December 2007 so do I need to start action against the bank before the company has been disolved or do I have to wait?

The action I would like to take is to sue the bank for the loss of my business and earnings for the next 17 years so a claim for 50,000 pounds a year time 17 would be what I would be seeking

Any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks

Paul

I think you are raising some very complex issues here and you should take formal legal advice before proceeding.
