A SALESMAN faces bankruptcy restrictions for six years.

The move comes after Paul Greenfield, of Clarendon Street, and formerly of Rivermeade Way, Whitefield, was made a bankrupt in July last year.

The six-year undertaking was given in respect of Mr Greenfields conduct and means he will be subject to a number of restrictions during this period. These include being banned from being a director or taking part in the management of a company; having to disclose his status when obtaining credit of more than £500; and ensuring people with whom he does business know the name or trading style used at the time of the bankruptcy.

Unfit conduct not disputed by Mr Greenfield is that he entered into a transaction to the detriment of creditors in that in April last year he received into his Halifax bank account £10,728, the net proceeds from the sale of his property at Rivermeade Way.

The same month, he withdrew £11,200 of which he paid £9,800 to three of his creditors, despite knowing he had other debts of approximately £41,066 at that time which remained outstanding at the date of the bankruptcy order.

He increased the extent of the deficiency in his bankruptcy by gambling and losing £5,000 the same month. He admits he knew he had other debts of approximately £41,066 at that time.
