Bugbait is quite correct,

We are very clear on Sub-Judice rules.

These types of posts rarely stay on the straight and narrow which is why I'm locking this one.

I won't delete it incase people want to search. But this is as far as this thread goes.

I received a letter from Cater Allen bank with whom my LTD has a current account that was set up a few years ago by Darren when he was creating the LTD company. The letter suggested I ring a woman officer at West Yorkshire Police to get details of what is currently happening between them and Darren. I rang the number and she was very forthcoming about what was happening. I'm not at home at the moment, but come Monday I could probably find the police officer's number. Not sure if I should post it here though - mods would this be OK?

Up to the Mod's but I would think it's okay to share conatct details since it's for the Police after all, nothing top secret. However, I believe the Mod's made it very clear that no details of the ongoing case may be divulged on the forums. Based on the legal advise I got it's okay to discuss it with others already familair with the details and posisbly in private, just not publicly since it's an open investigation. Someone better versed in the legal side of things is welcome to correct me though.

Put "Darren Upton" into Google

I have done. But he's always been spot on with me, so i'm always prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt

Darren does seem to be no longer responding to emails, had better luck with his staff but he doesn't seem to be communicating with them either....

[Bumfluff]

I know certain things should not be mentioned and bearing that in mind with any answers...

But up to a few weeks again I was receiving prompt emails from Uptons about my account prepartion. The last communication said that Darren was off on holiday but was returning on the 20th. I have emailed and also attempted to telephone, but no answers.

Does anybody on here know if Darren is back at his office?

Thanks

Sent you a PM

Your next suggestion if my calls are not answered is to visit his office in person yes?

If allowed and it's easy to do so it's not a bad idea.

Am I working for him for him or is he working for me?

Your accountant works for you. If they're not fulfilling your expectations treat them as you would any other recalcitrant employee.

Good grief - why not just ring the man?!

Not easy to telephone in a busy open plan office - email is a lot more discreet...

[Epiphone]

Yes he got back to me on Friday - But answer was not entirely clear so am waiting for clarification

Have you ever thought it may be how you phrase your questions?

I was always told the key to getting useful answers out of busy people was to phrase the question correctly, and sometimes by doing that you work out the answer yourself.
