Lee Hendrie declared bankrupt!

[dave.woodhall]

With 20 grand a week wages - he should only spend one week wages each month max as he doesn't need to spend 90 grand a month.

What do you buy apart from nice house and sport car. That is 1.5 millions let say 2 year salary and what about the rest.
 

Hookers and class As. Wouldn't you?

He still has 2 very nice houses, one in Solihull and one in Warwickshire.  There were some pictures of one of them in the press when his mate got done for robbing him a little while ago.  It didn't look like the kind of pad that most of us will ever own (£££).

(edit): There's a picture of the 2nd house here and they reckon it's worth £1.7m.  I suppose we don't know how big his debts are though.

Looks to me like the HMRC want him to sell a house to pay them back.

If that's the case, and he let them make him bankrupt just to get their money, he must have a shit accountant.

As Dave says, he's probably still got quite a decent nett worth after it's been sorted.

Again, not knowing the full picture of course...

He isn't actually bankrupt yet is he?

The Hmrc have applied for it in his absence, he'll just pay the minimum won't he.

[Olneythelonely]

Saw him and Barry outside the Elbow Room a fair few years ago. Custard pants was alright, Hendrie was an arsehole of the highest order.

[hawkeye]

There's a difference between bankrupt and skint. I bet he's still got more than any of us have.

That depends on if he managed to shelter some assets and or money and wether he took advice early enough. There are some pretty dodgy Insolvency Practitioners out there.

You're talking from a normal persons perspective.

I would buy some comics e.g. The Beano Dandy Whizzer & Chips say, £2

Also have a Chinese on Thursdays, crispy duck, Singapore noodles, £8

Petrol in the car, half a tank, say £30

Couple of 500ml bottles Coca-Cola or Pepsi, say £1.50

That's still only £31.50 leaving £19,968.50 each week


Is crazy silly stuff

Mrs Registrar Derrett heard that there had been no contact from Hendrie, no letters had been returned and no payments made.
She said she was making the bankruptcy order "in the absence of any contact".

I'm sure he is not broke though no doubt he is not the shrewdest with money.
Sounds to me like his head is so far up his own arse, he thinks being Lee Hendrie he can completely ignore HMRC.

Spend the rest on some tea-light candles with essence of jasmine, tea-tree oils, summer nights pot-pourri, and a selection of pashminas. With rest of the money get a hooker to blow you in a bath of beans whilst watching Barrymore's 'Strike it Lucky'.

He was living 3 doors from me till he got his fat contract. Moved but gave the house to family members. I hope they are not affected by this issue.

When I was working in Solihull, one Saturday morning I saw lee drop two girls off at the bus stop who got out his car wearing dressing gowns!
Not even joking!

[eamonn]

I imagine he was trying to keep up the livestyle of a £24k a week footballer long after he was one, such as driving a Ferrari when playing for Tamworth, and this has caused the problem.  If so, then it's probably a matter of ego as much as anything, which still results in the same "I don't feel sorry for him" verdict.

Pedant: He was playing for Villa in a friendly at Tamworth. Dave Cooper and his mates and the players were giving Henders stick and he didn't take it well.

Does bankruptcy equate to avoidance of any further tax liabilities? Experts on all subjects (but never having won University Challenge) please advise.

[damon loves JT]

I don't like pot pourri. It doesn't taste of anything and it gives me bad guts.
