Giving Up!
This afternoon, I gave up. I made a coffee, put my feet up and Gave Up
There's nothing left in Peters account to pay Paul. After 9 years in business, working my butt off up to 18 hours a day 7 days a week, I'm giving in. Admittedly, for the last three years I've not so much been in business but servicing the debt from being screwed by a supplier. But no more. Yesterday the bank added £1018 of charges to my account and today, they couldn't take the payment for my company credit card because the account is now overdrawn (due to the above charges). And ironically, charged me £35 because I couldn't afford to pay it. So how do they expect me to pay the £35, or indeed the £1018? I've already sold just about everything I personally own to service the dedt already. There's nothing left. and I'm a Sole trader so no Limited liability. It's actually bizarly liberating. Yes, I'm going to go (personally) bankrupt and they are going to take every single posession I've acrewed over a 22 year career. But then I'll be completely bare. Unencumered by anything material. As for getting a job, I've now sent off over 300 CV's and I've not had a single interview. It turns out at 39, as a chemical engineer /sales manager that can turn his hand to anything, worked in 62 countries, is the world fly casting champion and can strip down an engine and have it back in the bike in a couple of hours, and has more energy and drive than is really healthy, I'm unemployable... Too qualified. I even tried a "Dumbed down" Cv and that didn't work either. Past it at 39 So if anyone knows of a job going near Ripon, I'm interested. I'm even thinking of learning polish so I can pretend to be foreign! :) Bankruptcy advise very welcome :) I'm going to have a cigarette whilst I still can. Carl |
Re: Giving Up!
Sorry to hear that Carl - hope things work out for you. Our company deals in chemical dosing at water treatment works - perhaps throw a CV our way - we have a place in Wakefield.

Re: Giving Up!
Man that sounds harsh. Can't you claim all your bank charges back? I guess seeing as you now have a clean slate, you should go and do what you really want to do. Good luck mate.

Re: Giving Up!
Thats just carp. can't really say anything else. Cause anything else wouldn'e be very constructive. I can only imagine the sense of dread but equally relief.

Re: Giving Up!
Gutted for you :-(
Hope you find a job soon, don't get too disheartened. What about bus driving, they're always needed and well paid? I know a fella who was in the same sort of situation a few weeks ago and he's gone into bus driving and really enjoys it. Or am I just being daft as usual :rolleyes: |
Re: Giving Up!
Sorry to hear that mate, thats terrible.
Are you in Ripon, Derbyshire? If you dont want them taking your bike your welcome to hide it around my house. |
Re: Giving Up!
Man, that is bad, sad news.
With your experience and qualifications can't you emigrate to somewhere where hard work and endeavour is rewarded and not a hinderance? |
Re: Giving Up!
Really sorry for you and hope that you soon find work.... for this to happen to you is just awful
