My husband has a limited company and I am a director of this company. Last year due to recession, none payment from customers, bounced cheques from customer, he got a paye job to pay the bills.
Since then I have been trying to get him to sort out the business, and close it down or see what our options are. He wont open mail, Im left to face creditors, deal with bank manager etc. I think he just thought he would get a job for a few months until things picked up.
I have been paying the busines loan trying to keep the bank happy and save our credit rating, but the revenue are after him now.
I am quite happy to help, but he just wont cooperate. I ask him for paperwork and it took him a total of 10 months to produce. I got fedup nagging. I ask him to come straight home from work to enable me to work in the office (as I have very young children and am heavily pregnant) he nevers honours any arrangement, someone elses is always more important.
The revenue are bringing him to court in 2 weeks, so I had arranged for him to take a day off work and start sorting things out. He disappeared into work for an hour at 6am and its 11am and no sign. Hes just not taking this seriously. Im a nervours wreak as even though its his business, Im a director and thus have a legal obligation.
Is there anyway I can get my name off this limited business?
I was told, a ltd company needed 2 directors, and thus sign here!!! now Im finding out the legal comeback!!
I dont think he would actually owe the revenue much when sorted, as he had RCT's which should cover it, but he does owe creditors and Im keeping the business loan paid out of his wage, on top of mortgage etc. We are flat broke.
I feel very vulnerable with his head in the sand and me 7 months pregnant and dependent on him finanically.
Where do we stand or any websites with info on liquidations, costs, voluntary / involuntary?
Im struggling on my own trying to sort his mess.
Regards
