    You're also at risk of a criminal prosecution under the Data Protection Act if they want to go down that route.

    You should definitely get yourself a solicitor.

          That is data.

          I suggest you get a solicitor and negotiate with them over what they want as a remedy.

            Both.. Lifting the veil means they can see through the business set up and come after you personally.

                Are you still in contract with them? What have you admitted to?

                Say NOTHING else to them until you have legal advice.

                      Should i ask legal advice first before i meet them or should i meet them first and see what they want ?
                      You ask this but were just told....
