Help Required Re: former employer.

Maserati23

I hope I have posted in the proper forum.

I need help in advancing my plight against my former employer , which was back in 2003, so maybe Statute of Limitations apply, but not in respect of "Fraud"!


I was headhunted by this guy 10 years previous to 2003. I accepted his terms, which were I was given a freehand totally to advance his company, in sales and Marketing.

Although I had no specific Marketing skills, I not only advanced his sales phenomenly over the years but also opened 6 other companies (My Ideas), which were very fruitful indeed.

I was "known" as Marketing /Director on all business cards and some A4 letterheads.

My main problem was this was all done through a handshake basis. I had to leave/Retire in 2003 due to a severe illness. I am ok know, i.e. I am not deceased and dont intent to lapse in the near future either, contrary to doctors opinions at the time.

Anyhow, from the start I was never good with "money and Bills etc" , so My director said he would handle my outgoings personally, using one of our accountants to ensure my bills are paid using a type of dual account, I.E. Say John ***** and Michael ***** management account, not real names. I left and trusted the bank accounts as is for 10 years, anyhow it was time to leave and I was also selling a house. So the long and short of it I let him ...My Director handle the sale, other than the signing. Basically because I was out of the country a lot. The money from the house sale was transferred to the lawyer, P.S. I never saw a draft of monies distributed from the sale, eg lawyers fees etc.

These transactions were carried out via "MY LAWYER" whom was his "LAWYER" also!! Big mistake I think.

On returning from my travels I was given a cheque for about half what I thought I was entitled asd there was a sum of money to be paid off the mortgage, I think 60.000 off a house I sold for 340.000.

I could not get information on the Management account until I remembered the exact account number, some weeks ago. ( I know, a lapse of 6 years) but being a dual account the statements were going to my director , not me, so I did not know the bank details. Also, my Lawyer said he had no details on me whatsoever, Please bear in mind the Lawyer is a prominent friend of my ex-Director. Both of whom live on a very well known "Road" in Dublin, say no more....

I know this is long winded but I hope somebody can point me in the right direction!!! I will finish up by saying, the last 4 months of the dual account which is 1 year after I left, 50.000 odd thousand dissapears from that account bit by bit, to where I do not know, My company phone was billed to that account< the last bill was 1750.00 for a month in 2003, yes I used the phone a lot, approx 460 employees and too many customers to mention, mostly corporate I had to handle. also my Pension "Dissapeared".

There is a lot more.

May I say this. I am putting this to print as I do not know which way or avenue I should take, as I am going "UP" against big money.

The last time I met this chap he handed me a few grand, reversed his nice motor into a car behind him, in an effort just to get away from me.

I hope I have posted in the right place as you can see I rarely post. If the admin deem the post unsuitable, so be it. If somebody wishes to Pm me I would appreciate it.

One way or the other I will be making moves in the next few weeks as I have only just received 1 year of statements dating back to 2003/2004.

The above monies mentioned are only the tip of the Iceberg.''

All in all I was big time scammed by a multi millionare, which still confuses me to this day....

I contacted 1 lawyer and he was afraid to tackle my "ex lawyer".

So again any help much appreciated. I have kept back this post because I did not want to approach my ex Director before xmas. ( Yes I sound like a lamb to a slaughter) I was brought up that way. Never Lie and apply myself (dedicate myself to my goals). Sounds Naff now.

PS Sorry for any mistakes . I usually dictate.

Happy new Year

Find a solicitor who will take the case and make a complaint to the law society. Maybe hire an accountant to establish were all the money is.

It's not very clear from your post as to what actually transpired and any more information would give your identity away, so you need to find a solicitor to deal with this.

I don't accept that the initial solicitor you were speaking to has refused to take on these people because he's afraid. It's more likely that there is an evidential deficit and there is also the significant matter of the delay that has transpired. You claim that you were defrauded of the price of half of your own house and yet you have not acted until now, 6 years later?

The solicitor more likely advised you that you would not win in any proceedings and declined to act in the absence of funds. If you are willing to put up the significant funds required to take a High Court case, there would be no end of solicitors willing to act on your behalf. I would suggest that you see another solicitor in the circumstances.

Thanks Magic and Bluey,

Yes The Solicitor I met recently was aware of the other lawyer, and was reluctant to take it on.

BTW it is six years on, but to be honest the Bank or my Director would not give me the dual account number.

I asked for it 6 years ago but to no avail. I am only proceeding now because I remembered the number, God nows how it came to me??? only 4 weeks ago.

The story is so long I do not want to burden you.

Ps there was another bank account in my name I was not aware of until a month ago.

Needless to say the bank manager went on many golf trips and all Landsdowne matches with my ex Boss! It goes on.

I can only summise to employ an accountant to sift through my dual acc. the unmentioned acc, and my personal acc. for the last 5 years of my employ.

The best advice has been given that fits in line with our charter. Any further advice or more specific information would breach the no legal advice rule. Best of luck.
