URGENT - DH JUST BEEN SUSPENDED FROM WORK NEED ADVICE

[puddytats]

DH just got home. Returned today after 4weeks off after birth of dd to find that he is at the centre of fraud allegations at work. He was given no warning until this morning and was given no chance of having a representitive at the meeting that suspended him.

He did not do this (i know i am bound to say this but he is innocent). Where do we go from here, what should work have provided him with, what do they need to tell him etc?

Cannot say too much now as things have been moving really fast and we have asked our solicitor to contact the police on our behalf. This is currently in motion.

Will keep you updated on everything we can.

Again all the support and advice we have received in the3 last few days is so welcoming and we cannot thankyou enough for your support

Puddytats

I feel for you and your family, hopefully they catch the b***ds who done this to your family.

Be strong

Things are going to be horrible for a short while I am sure you will get the result you so hope for.

Please keep us updated, Hugs to hubby also

I've just seen this and I'm really and on behalf of you and your dh.
I have zero practical advice but really really hope this horrible situation is sorted out for you really soon and his innocence comes to light.
Best wishes to you all.

Hi puddytats. Just read through all the thread. im so sorry to hear all that is happening to you and your family. it sounds like the most unimaginable nightmare but hopefully it will eventually get sorted out and the culprit will get what they deserve!
just out of curiosity, how much was the value of all the fraudulent cheques?

We are expecting to hear back from our solicitor Monday re talking to the police.

Juicychops the value was £40,000+ so not a small amount.

At the moment there is not a lot on our favour and morale in the puddytats household is non existant. Just trying to maintain normality for the sake of the children.

Yet again thank you so much for all the support, we both really value all the advice and have acted on some of it.

We are requesting our credit records and am going to speak to the bank tomorrow as well to see how far we can trace it other than that in the words of the solicitor 'we could be stuffed'

i am so sorry to hear that puddytats.

this isnt good Puddy. Really sorry you are going through this.

Surely this money has been deposited somewhere, and as you say, it isnt a small amount.

Someone has for sure stolen your identity. Lets hope this is resolved soon for all your sakes.

We think we are going to end up needing a specialist fraud lawyer if anyone can suggest one we would be grateful.

At the moment we can only see the worst and dh ending up in prison for something he did not do.

Again cannot now go into too much detail but facts emerging appear that this was not just someone using us but actually getting to us personally, we cannot think who we have upset so much it would warrent a father being taken from his children and a family destroyed. It really is that bad

puddytats, I really hope you can find a way to prove your dh is innocent.

Are you considering using a handwriting/document authentication expert?

I hope your solicitor is going to pull all the stops out for you.

Didn't see your last post.

Put a call out on here with a new thread title asking recommendations for a lawyer specialising in fraud. We can keep bumping it for you.

This is awful, I really feel for you.

Puddytats, I can't offer any legal help or advice but I live really close so if I can help at all (lifts, babysitting - I know you don't know me, so I know that might be impractical - shopping anything) please let me know. I'll CAT you my phone number, honestly please call me if there's anything I can do.

Jesus, this is dreadful. Puddy, can't think of any way in which I can help you directly, but just wanted to add another hug. Think you are right to contact the police and be as open as you can.

puddytats

sorry again about whats happening to your dh, it seems to be getting worse for him at the mo the poor sole.

Please keep us updated and myself and my family are sending our thoughts to you

Hope it works out soon hun
take care

I don't know if this is useful, but last year, dh needed to find a lawyer who specialised in a particular field and used the
The Legal 500 to find one.

From what you're saying, Puddytats, it looks as though these people want to pin it on your dh because they can't find anyone else to blame. Surely that can't be the same as proof that your dh took the money????

I hope you're able to find a top lawyer to get you out of this nightmare. I've been thinking about you a lot.

How lily white are the accusers? Could one of them be to blame? Worth looking at those who are pointing the finger.

I have watched this thread unfold with horror. Have you thought of employing a private investigator to try and establish who could possibly have it in for you to this extent. It seems to me you could use someone on your side.

My DP was suspended from work for 6mths for something he didn't do so I have some idea what you are going through.

This is just horrible, puddy. I can't imagine what you and your family must be going through but am thinking of you and really hoping you can get this sorted out asap.

Satine, thank you. Again i am overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers.

At the moment every last little shred of evidence points to dh and it just seems impossible to find a way out.

It seems impossible that this is just day 4

with a good lawyer, the truth will prevail honey
just keep holding on, and take one day at a time

ps. my dad was suspending for "corruption" - it took nine months, but he was eventually cleared, and apoligised to as well - just hold on to what you believe

puddy - if you CAT me I can recommend an excellent criminal lawyer who is also top rate fraud lawyer (had acted for various high profile people) but they are in Brum -

jesus christ PT - well keep hold of the thought u are innocent both of u, you have done nothing wrong, surely they'll be able to see if that sum of money hasn't come into the bank accounts/ u don't have excravant (sp) tastes it should clear him? althou I suppose it's 'convient' (not what I think but probably what the police/ the ER will think) it all happened whilst u were away so I guess who ever has done this is v v clever and knows u very well.

will ask about with the family down there to see if any one know's of a good lawyer for you.

((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) hope this nightmare is over for you soon. keep us posted.

God, how utterly awful!

The only useful thing I can think of to add is that you can ask Experian and Equifax to put a note on your credit files saying that you have been the victims of identity theft and no new accounts should be opened until further notice - but this will take some time to kick in and is more relevant to credit applications than to, say, opening savings accounts etc.

Best of luck to you both.
