The puddytats police problem - long

Hi all

Many apologies for my silence, life has been hard recently. For those of you who are kind enough to remember or might be interested here is a recap:

DH and I had our 2nd child in May last year. After a month off DH returned o work (a company he has worked at for 6 years) to be called into a meeting and suspended due to discrepencies on a client he worked on. In due course he was found guilty of gross misconduct and fired. In the meantime the olice were also called in as it would seem that monies had gone missing. A fake case had been set up and dh had apparently done this, done all the work, written cheques and taken the money.

Everything is in DH name, all the evidence points to him. Some of the money even touched our bank accounts before it was immediatly transferred back out again. DH was arrested and taken in for questionning. I was also arrested and also questionned.

We have been interviewed by the police a couple of times and the case has now been transferred to the cps to decide whether we should be charged.

The bank has done their own investigations and concluded we are guilty and closed our account, refusing to give any further info as we were in the wrong. We cannot do any investigating or prove ourselves innocent unless we are charged as we have no legal rights to anything.

We also have a cilvil case against us trying to recoup the monies we were supposed to have taken.

Neither dh or i are guilty, you just have to take our word for that.

Ds is now 2 and dd is now 10 months. Our lives stopped 9 months ago and we are unable to start living again until all is over.

Someone out there has set us up, we never saw or spent the money. Someone has decided to destry our lives and don't seem to care that innocent children are involved.

DH and I are still together and stronger than ever, They will not destroy us and one day life will be normal again.

If you have got to this point thank you for reading.

Good luck for tomorrow puddytats.

jampots · 08/05/2006 18:04

puddytats - im glad you've let us know whats been going on although I didnt see it when you first surfaced again. It all sounds so horrid.

But just a thought, is it possible that dh has been coerced into allowing someone to use your bank account by someone quite shady perhaps and maybe he's too frightened to say?

Nbg · 08/05/2006 18:05

All the very very best for tomorrow Puddytats Smile

I hope it goes well.

Hope everything went well puddytats, thinking of you & your family. x

LadySherlockofLGJ · 09/05/2006 18:12

Fingers crossed.

puddytats · 09/05/2006 18:18

Thankyou all for the massive support, it really is appreciated and i don't tell you all enough.
Good news and bad news. Good news - i was released without charge, the cps decided that there was not enough evidence to proceed against me.
Bad news - DH has had 10 charges filed against him, 3 for theft and 7 for forgery. He has to attend court next tuesday to enter a plea. We have a meeting with solicitor on Monday to go over everything and have all choices made clear to us.
It is almost a celebration in our house today as the waiting is finally happened and we can move onto the next phase - proving him innocent. I am so relieved that they have dropped against me but feel guilty that I am so happy when DH still in the middle of it. He is so happy for me as well and it means that one of us can get a job and will be about for the children.
Sounds so silly to be celebrating the fact he has been charged but now we can work on his defence and prove that he did not do it. It is not over but at least it is moving.

Good luck for fighting your DH's case puddycat and keep your head up and stay strong Smile

Chloe55 · 09/05/2006 18:37

Sorry - puddytat

MrsMills · 09/05/2006 18:39

Does this mean that you can now find out what evidence they have against your dh? Excuse my ignorance if this is a silly question.

I'm really happy for you Smile

puddytats · 09/05/2006 18:41

Yes, as far as i know we are now entitled to have everything the police have. After 11 months we can hopefully begin to get to the bottom of it.

Thats good news puddytats :)

puddytats · 09/05/2006 19:08

Jampots - i believe my husband is innocent. I have thought long and hard about all possibilities and still believe him innocent. Unless he tells me otherwise i will keep believing that. I have to.
