Widow might not see a penny of £9k she is owed

A WIDOW owed more than £9,000 fears she will not see a penny of it, despite the debtor being instructed to pay by the courts.

Former Dolphin Stores owner Mandy Pallot, 52, is doubly frustrated because the man who owes the money, Ahasan Kabir, is now running another business, a restaurant.

A Petty Debts Court judgement in July instructed Mr Kabir to pay Mrs Pallot £30 a month until the £9,166.60 debt was repaid.

The ruling meant she would not receive the full amount for more than 25 years.

But Mr Kabir has already defaulted and Mrs Pallot (pictured) has now spoken out about the lack of protection for people awarded money by the courts.
