Ugo Monye bankruptcy petition
DIR By: TW Quin

HMRC using same tracing agent as for Katie Price?
Report from Daily Mail
Ugo Monye's bankruptcy petition over a £200,000 unpaid tax bill
has reportedly been withdrawn - after HMRC was unable to find
his address to serve it to him.
The baffling series of events came to light during a High Court
hearing on Tuesday into the BBC star's financial struggles.
Presenter Monye, a former England and British & Irish Lions
wing, was left facing financial ruin after his company, Show Me
The Monye, was liquidated.
Set up in 2012, documents on Companies House reveal HMRC
obtained a winding-up order in December 2023 for the 'physical
well-being' firm over unpaid tax bills.
News first emerged about the petition against the former athlete
in January.
However, at yesterday's hearing in front of the High Court's
deputy bankruptcy registrar, Judge Sally Barber, lawyers
representing HMRC were forced to ask for permission to withdraw
its petition as they could not find the 41-year-old's address.
'You’ve been unable to serve it because you don’t have knowledge
of a place of residence where he currently lives. Permission to
withdraw the bankruptcy petition granted,' the judge said,
reported the Telegraph.
HMRC has not revealed why it was unable to find Monye who
regularly appears on TV and radio as a pundit for the BBC and
TNT - and most recently featured in Six Nations coverage. It
also has not said if it is planning a fresh petition.

Wouldn’t expect anything less under a left leaning civil
service. Perhaps if he was a pensioner or a farmer it would have
been pursued with more vigor.
Seriously though, that is a disgrace. The DWP for example do
surveillance on the old “bad back” types, following them to
football practice, yet a man who is regularly on tv can’t be
traced?
Ugo deserves to have his feet held to the fire just like
everyone else.

A certain amount of truth in that. A Process Server could have
served Ugo with court papers whilst he was broadcasting.

Can't see how they can justify this

My understanding is that he can and will still be pursued for
the debt but that the immediate threat of bankruptcy is gone.
Doesn't mean another bankruptcy petition cannot be filed.
Pretty poor investigative work though. If he wasn't to be found
at a rugby match they could have caught him in front of the
nearest mirror.

Umm, how much does a Process Server get paid? I might be
available if the price is right. Or if its not I could get my
cheapskate mate Stinky to do it..

Surely you would get one of your butlers to do it, and pocket
the fee!

Funny you should say that... I've served quite a few documents
in my time, including bankruptcy petitions. Always got a lot of
satisfaction out of it. Had one clown feign a heart attack to
try and dodge it. Another told me she was already bankrupt (she
wasn't), then said she couldn't work due to back injuries (in
spite of videos showing her leading a dance group). Sometimes
it's like fighting a battle of wits against an unarmed person.
As for Ugo, I always liked the guy. But he does seem to have
changed post playing career.
