Finding Debtor
Debtor 'disappears'.
Background.
Over 3 years ago my accountant introduced me to a prospective client for whom he also provided accounting services. The prospective client was also an in-law of one of the accountant's close friends. By association I assumed that the prospective client was effectively vouched for by the accountant and as such did not think it was necessary to enquire further into the prospective client's background – this has proved to be a costly error of judgement as it later transpired that the client had a somewhat dubious financial past and had managed to conceal this from both the accountant and his friend. The prospective client was trading as a sole trader.
I'm now trying to trace this person as he still owes my company money. After seeking advice from the FSB I eventually started a claim through the small claims court, the result being a CCJ against the debtor. However the case has been ongoing for 3 years and gone through 4 court jurisdictions as the person has a history of relocating to different parts of the UK thereby necessitating the transfer of the case to his local court. So far I have been fortunate in keeping up with his address. At the latest court I requested that the bailiffs be used to seize his personal goods and sell them to pay his debt. However between visits from the bailiffs he has yet again moved to an unknown address – leaving yet more debts in his wake. Unless I can provide an address then I understand that the courts can do nothing.
Questions a) What are the legalities regarding seeking information regarding the latest address of this person via the internet by way of a web site.
b) If legal then could I create a web site with his name as the domain name and list information I have about him, notably vehicle registrations, photos, past business history, bank account details, CCJ case details?
