Hello. My name is Steve Gould. I am 67 years of age, married (since 1978 to the same amazing lady), two incredible daughters and five grandkids. In June 2019, I sold my computer repair business which I’d run for 20 years in our local town. In January 202, I realised I should be looking to invest some (if not all) of the money I got from the sale into something that would give me a residual income to allow me to pursue our first love – organising, promoting and running live music events. All I was looking to do was to create a monthly income that would pay the bills, nothing more – not looking to have a holiday, buy an expensive car/house etc – just enough to survive. I know the stock market can be a very profitable way to create wealth, but at the time had little or no knowledge of how it works – introducing www.any1profit.com (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/any1profit.com). They offered to do the trading for us and take 7% of the profit. Obviously sceptical at first, I only put in a couple of hundred pounds, but could see the profit accumulating albeit a small amount. When I explained to the guy who was our agent, that I was looking to put in place a residual income to pay the bills, he told me we’d have to invest more (which made sense). Over the following eight months, I ended up putting £32000 in the account and could see a marked difference in the accumulated profit, but the alarm bells started ringing when I tried to withdraw….Overall, I think I managed to withdraw £2500, but to cut a long story short, they did a runner and left me with a huge debt, no money and I’d also borrowed £15K from a dear friend (on the basis I paid him back in January of the following year as he needed the money to pay his tax bill !!) which means I now have to pay him back at £300 a month until it’s paid back – needless to say it nearly destroyed a long term friendship !! Here we are in 2024, I am now on state pension, my wife is a mobile carer on not much above minimum wage and we are not coping financially. We have managed to keep up to date with bills, but have had to pass all our debt to STEPCHANGE, so we’re on a DMP (Debt Management Plan) where we have total debts of around £55k paying back at £77 a month !!!! We’ll be over 100 by the time it’s paid off… If there’s any kind soul out there who can help in ANY way, we would be forever in your debt. I can provide whatever proof you need to validate our story. Many thanks for reading – peace and love, Steve & Lou xx
