I had been on my own for several years and following a night out with friends I met Lee Stansfield from Rossendale Lancashire. He was perfect to begin with got on well with my three children and really was the perfect partner . Taking me out for meals and holidays. He eventually wormed his way into living with us. His background was he was divorced like me and told us how his ex wife had slept with his sisters husband. He called his ex wife scary beast ?
Anyway thinking he had been hard done by in the past and taking what he said to be gospel we decided to make th move and get our new home . My house was fine and had three rooms. But he said he wanted neutral ground it was my home after all. So I remortgaged my home and placed it up for rent and purchased a bigger home with four bedrooms. This also enabled his daughter to stay over .
Anyway to cut a long story short I borrowed money to get the home and spent thousand on getting the kitchen done etc . He then left saying he could cope with the kids. He had managed for the previous 12 months fine but as soon as we moved and he had used me for the money he changed his tune !
After leaving a few weeks later i found out from my sister who spotted him in a pub with another lady he had been seeing someone. It had been going on for 6 months even before we moved ! He even got married 4 weeks after leaving the new house for her. My son did some detective work and found out he had arranged the marraign while living with me, I thought he had gone out to work that day !
He Also hasnt paid tax for 8 years and has several bogus companies up and running or closed. Timber design systems ltd. woodtech products ltd to name a couple.here is some more information from my son Garry.
Firstly I would like to introduce myself my name is Garry Pickles and Jane Lancaster is my mother. During my mothers time in a relationship with lee Stansfield I had a close tie with Mr Stansfield as I was kindly allowed to use office space he had available.
During my time in such close contact with Mr Stansfield and his colleagues I was shocked to find out several worrying facts and good indicators into the character and moral responsibilities that Mr Stansfield has when it comes to dealing with money, business and which has ultimately reeked its ugly head in his personal life. Although I understand much of this information may not be of any use to you in terms of the solving the situation at Oakland’s drive. It will open up another route for discussion and rule out any potential financial negotiations with Mr Stansfield.
In getting Buy To Let mortgages which Mr Stansfield has on all of his properties and I feel this will be very helpful indeed .In order to provide proof of rental income from the property to prove to the lender that he is able to get the mortgage. He uses his sole trading property company which he uses to take rental income from his properties to confirm the amount of rent the property can bring. The name of the company is park way properties a sole trading company which again doesn’t pay tax. So basically he produces a letter with details of the rental available which I understand should be provided by an independent letting agent.
I really do not know how Mr Stansfield was able to get the mortgage on Oakland’s drive in the first instance. So it would be interesting to speak to Birmingham Midshires to uncover whether or not the conditions in which Mr Stansfield and my mother gained the mortgage for this property. In knowing Mr Stansfield and the fact he has no proof of earnings from PAYE or Accounts from dividend payments. I simply cannot understand how on earth he was able to get the mortgage for Oaklands drive in the first place. Even the properties he owns on interest free mortgages are in arrears in payments this providing a bad credit rating.
Below is more detailed information on my personal dealings with Mr Stansfield
1. I found he had a total disregard for the law in terms of paying tax for his company’s profits. Mr Stansfields own bookkeeper a Mrs Leslie Thompson stated that he and his business partner Ian “had not paid any tax for 8 years “. It was apparent that Lee and Ian opened several Ltd companies opening one to trade and opening another stating it was not trading.
The company that was down as not trading in this case (Timber designs systems Ltd – company number 04590851 ) was still used to trade. The bank account that had remained open was still used the proof of this illegal practice is now in the safe hands of HMRC’s tax evasion office. The bank account was used to extract staffs wages and illegal dividends. Once HMRC tax evasion team were made aware the account was closed.
2. So firstly there was a breach of trading and tax laws then to my shock and total disbelief I found Mr Stansfield and Ian Bradshaw who’s company was not Vat registered were charging Vat on ironically enough a Job for refurbishment at the new trading offices of Mr Stansfields solicitors Acklam Bond and Noor. The job which amounted to around the £80k mark was charged Vat which amounted to approx £12,000 - £14,000 pounds. Mr Stansfield giggled to the fact that he and Ian would be splitting the Vat monies received and taking that as there bonus on the job. Exact proof of this in the form of the Invoice, this is now in the hands of HMRC’s tax evasion team. Considering the current situation and also the fact that Mr Stansfield went on to marry a trainee solicitor at Acklam Bond I am sure you can see a conflict of interest
3. In conclusion to this example Mr Stansfield has bitten from the hand that currently feeds him with his legal advice. Also this is only one example from the short time in which I was in his company. What about the previous 8 years as his bookkeeper stated. The crimes Mr Stansfield and Mr Ian Bradshaw have committed would put bluntly result in serious fines if not imprisonment.
4. Moving forwards Mr Stansfield and Mr Bradshaw have made several changes to the Directors of Timber Designs systems Limited in order to take away any risk of reprisals from HMRC . Please take a look at the historic update details on the Full Company report on Timber Designs Systems Limited. (Document 1) It shows a complete change of the company directors
5. Following my investigations into the companies I also found Mr Stansfield has now made his son the Director of his latest company Woodtech Products Ltd. The first question you have to answer is why did he not become the Director ? He doesn’t have a very good credit rating house repossessions, CCJ’s (please see the company report) where 8 CCJ’s totalling £14,394 are still outstanding. But basically it boils down from my opinion that Mr Stansfield is a Con Man the original Arthur Daily type sales man. In this case his attentions have turned to his personal life.
Mr Stansfield will say whatever it takes to his solicitors in order to be seen as the man in the morally right position whether true or untrue. Paralleled in saying whatever it takes in his business life to gain financially at the expense of HMRC.
The Statements in this letter are very serious accusations to make and I am not naive in knowing that. But it is not possible for Mr Stansfield or Mr Ian Bradshaw to prove otherwise. I would be more than willing to swear on oath in court. This is why in the previous reply from Acklam Bond a paragraph was included trying to distance any discussion on this matter. At the end of the day it is a LTD company and as such a separate entity but when the directors of that LTD company commit fraud and tax evasion they do become liable for there actions.
Mr Stansfield and Mr Bradshaw have also not paid business rates for a considerable amount of time. I recently contacted the Burnley Council Business rates department who assured me they have caught up with Mr Stansfield and were very thankful for me providing his contact details. The final point I know of is he does not pay PAYE for his staff any tax or national insurance contributions.
The worrying thing is this is only a collection of a few examples of fraudulent activity I dear not guess at the number of other incidents over the past 8 years. Just another final point Mr Stansfield discussed work he has paid for on Oakland’s drive. The flooring in the property was taken from the same stock of flooring purchased by Acklam Bond solicitors for there refurbishment. So the flooring in Oakland’s drive is actually paid for by Acklam Bond solicitors. His defrauding has no boundaries his own solicitors are also a victim the biggest irony of all .
