The problem with the Insolvency Service starts and ends with Insolvency Service staff
| Ignorance can no longer be an excuse for Insolvency Service staff The more the Insolvency Service is being investigated and held accountable, the more that wrongdoing is being revealed. Yet the reality is that many Insolvency Service staff are likely ignorant of how the organisation operates, particularly when mistakes are made or the powers delegated to them by the Secretary of State are abused. Incompetence? Corruption? A combination of both? (AKA Incomporruption) Lighthouse Global has been holding the Insolvency Service and its leadership accountable for the case of Lighthouse International Group for the last 3+ years. A multitude of questions have been asked of Insolvency Service staff along with a complaint to the former Secretary of State, Kemi Badenoch. The response has been heinous; full of provable lies, deliberate deception and conniving cover-up. Now we’re appealing to the conscience of Insolvency Service staff. Are they aware of being complicit in the Insolvency Service’s tyrannical modus operandi? Insolvency Service staff and the greater public need to be aware of how the Insolvency Service operates in order for it to genuinely reform. Below is an email sent to all Insolvency Service staff that directs them to a more comprehensive open letter for all Insolvency Service staff as well as citizens across the globe. “The evil in the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened.” – Albert Camus (French philosopher, journalist and activist) |
RE: Accountability, Corruption & the End of Institutional Immunity – A Personal Call to Every Insolvency Service Employee
Dear Insolvency Service Staff,
1 What This Email Is About
This message is being sent to all Insolvency Service staff because serious concerns have emerged about conduct and decision-making within your agency.
These concerns are set out in detail in a comprehensive open letter published at www.insolvencyservicecorruption.com, a website by Citizen Intervention Global. It accompanies other open letters to senior figures in the UK and US Governments, including this first Open Letter to President Donald Trump, receipt of which has been acknowledged by the White House.
President Donald Trump has publicly requested who else has been affected by government and media tyranny. We will be presenting a number of cases to President Trump, and one of them is the case of Insolvency Service Deputy Official Receiver Michael Bint.
In addition to the case of Mr Bint, we are writing to you because we want to see if you think there are any other cases we ought to be presenting?
2 Why You Should Care
As a public servant, your primary duty is to serve the public interest, not to protect an institution or its staff from scrutiny. Given the number and seriousness of allegations and cases now directed at the Insolvency Service, it is increasingly difficult to assert with confidence that the institution, as it’s currently operating, is consistently fulfilling its public purpose with integrity. When individuals begin serving the system rather than the system serving the public; the intentions, use, and beneficiaries of that system rightly come into question.
With that in mind, you may already be aware of concerns about how certain decisions and practices within the Insolvency Service are being carried out. For many employees, raising such concerns internally or externally can feel difficult or risky, particularly within a hierarchical organisation where professional and personal consequences may be feared.
However, when credible allegations of wrongdoing remain unaddressed, the impact extends beyond individual cases and begins to erode public trust in the institution as a whole. By engaging with this letter and the cases and materials referenced, it is no longer reasonable for those within the Insolvency Service to remain unaware of the issues being raised. Silence does not resolve such matters, it allows them to persist, particularly where innocent individuals and their families are being adversely affected.
For these reasons, there is a clear and unavoidable responsibility on those within the Insolvency Service, as public servants entrusted with significant powers, to actively assess whether current practices meet the standards of fairness, lawfulness, and justice that the public is entitled to expect.
Where the institution is falling short of that duty, inaction is not a neutral position, it constitutes complicity in the damage and harm being caused and further erodes public trust. In such circumstances, it is both legitimate and necessary that those failures are brought to the attention of government leaders and the wider public, so that transparency, accountability, and meaningful corrective action can take place.
3 The Main Problem
The Insolvency Service says it wants to be “fair, efficient and effective” and operate with “the highest professional, technical and ethical standards.” However, the evidence shows this isn’t happening. Instead, the Insolvency Service is:
- Misrepresenting evidence in court.
- Ignoring important medical documents in order to push through arrest warrants.
- Abusing its powers unjustly against people it should be serving.
- Covering up its mistakes instead of admitting to them and fixing them.
- Maliciously targeting individuals to cover up the Insolvency Service’s provable incompetence and wrongdoing.
Insolvency Service staff have repeatedly been found covering mistakes, misleading courts, and causing harm for self-interest rather than public service. Real examples include the case of Deputy Official Receiver Michael Bint, who provably lied in court to a High Court Judge.
4 Case Study: Kids Company
Kids Company was a respected charity helping vulnerable children for over 20 years. The Insolvency Service destroyed it through unfounded allegations and unfair investigation. A senior judge later said the Insolvency Service’s conduct was “unfair, biased, and oppressive”. Despite those findings, no meaningful accountability followed, no apology was issued, and no substantive institutional reform took place. Meanwhile, the charity’s founder, Camila Batmanghelidjh, bore a profound personal and professional cost as a result of the actions taken against her.
5 What You Can Do
On the back of reading this and the more comprehensive open letter published online, you have three choices:
A) Support transparency and reform – Sign up to receive updates about accountability efforts (use a pseudonym if needed) or simply reply to this email.
B) Speak out – Share information or evidence of wrongdoing you’ve witnessed or are aware of. You can do this privately by email, through the registration form or by commenting publicly on the open letter itself.
C) Remain silent – Accept that silence makes you part of the problem and at risk of being held accountable for being complicit in the Insolvency Service’s wrongdoing.
6 What’s Coming Next
In addition to further open letters to President Donald Trump and other senior figures, we will be moving forward with the discovery, planning and execution of:
A) Institutional Accountability – A class action lawsuit against the Secretary of State on behalf of all Insolvency Service victims.
B) Private prosecutions – holding Insolvency Service employees individually accountable for abusing their position, power and Insolvency Service systems.
7 The Bottom Line
Every civil servant must choose: Stand up for what is right, or accept that you are helping cover up wrongdoing and therefore complicit. This is not a threat. The real threat is a corrupt and tyrannical system that is being weaponised to attack citizens it ought to serve!
History will remember those who had the courage to do the right thing. History also shows that bad things happen when good people do nothing, just following orders isn’t an excuse!
This is a moment for courage, not compliance. For integrity, not indifference.
Resolutely,
Paul S. Waugh

God help the Insolvency Service staff… to have invested so much in a job or career, yet at a place where there is so much hubris, corruption, abuse of power. It’s shameful and damning, I hope and pray for their sake they have the courage to face reality. No career or amount of money can replace the truth.
“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?”
Matthew 16:26 NIV
Along with the abuse of power, the vast resources to sustain this abuse is scary. Hundreds of millions if not billions at their disposal. The Everyman doesn’t have a fraction of what they have.
Amen 🙏
The more I read about regulators, the more I am seeing how incomcorruption is prevalent. It’s crucial that the Insolvency Service staff learn about how the leaders of their organisation will go to any lengths to win, even if it includes lying and deceiving. I pray they then are willing to play a part in making positive changes.
What’s evident is that the Insolvency Service believes it’s a law unto itself. Even when rebuked by Judges in the Court (such as in the case of Kids Company), there’s no evidence of contrition, repentance and reform.
Agreed in the case of Kids Company the judge even highlighted how evidence was manipulated by the Insolvency Service to win the case rather than show the truth.
The public simply don’t realise how much the Insolvency Service has been fudging over the years. It is not fit for purpose.
Every member of insolvency service staff, who receives our email or hears about it, cannot claim they did not know the institutional evil that pumps through the veins of the insolvency service and that they are unashamedly destroying the lives and livelihoods of many UK citizens. It is now up to them to look at their own conscience and take action…
I pray that the Insolvency Service staff take heed of what has been shared with them and that they take action and speak out.
Thank you for sharing this email with us all…We all need to stand up and speak out and stop staying silent when we see or know that something bad is happening.
Again, as with the BBC, people should not remain in positions of authority serving the public when there is this level of corruption taking place behind the scenes. We have personally experienced the corruption within the Insolvency Service, and because of this, we sincerely hope that insolvency staff and anyone else with firsthand experience will come forward to share what they have witnessed, so this organisation can be properly held accountable. Thank you for sharing this letter with insolvency staff — it is, once again, a much-needed letter for much-needed times. Thank you.
I pray that every member of the insolvency service staff take this very seriously and either take action or resign. There needs to be accountability not just for those in the service but those who operate in the service to face the truth of what they are claiming to do and what they are actually doing. There is no actual need for the insolvency service in my opinion. Either someone has done something illegal and they have criminal charges filed against them for business practices or you leave them to it, and if they fail by themselves then they fail. But the government should not be intervening in business like this, in my opinion. They should be allowing businesses to grow, develop and improve if they’re struggling. Not be shut down.
The Insolvency Service would shut itself down if it investigated itself!
I was watching a couple of videos produced by the Insolvency Service as they’ve tried to attract interest in the work of the people and the organisation. What I find concerning is the way that they celebrate the number of companies shut down, directors banned and imprisonments seem to be the cherry on the top. This is tyranny that’s promoted and facilitated by Insolvency Service staff to the point where they believe they are accountable to no one.
In a complaint sent to the Insolvency Service, Deputy Official Receiver Michael Bint (Official Receiver at the time), basically came back saying that all our complaints were not valid and that there was no way that their sources would be investigated for the veracity of their provably false allegations against Lighthouse.
The recent case of Insolvency Service staff being sacked for fraudulent behaviour is an example of how corrupt the culture is. It’s also an example of hypocrisy. They love to name and shame those they shut down and prosecute (especially if they’re ex-sports professionals) and yet there’s no mention of names for those who’ve been caught in the act who work for the Insolvency Service.
Watching an Insolvency Service staff recruitment video, there was a comment at the end in which the staff member made the comment that admin staff help to “keep the wheels moving and help us to target the bad guys.”
What does this say? That they genuinely think they are good people stopping bad people from doing bad things. Whilst I know that there are fraudulent people they do likely investigate, they refuse to see their process of investigation can be weaponised and destroy innocent people’s lives and livelihoods.
What’s evident is there’s no evidence that the Insolvency Service wants to see people and businesses thrive. If someone has done wrong, there’s no effort put in to help that person repay society through service… instead the tactic is to name, shame and demonise.
Meanwhile when Insolvency Service staff are caught in the act of incompetence and inhumane treatment of others, they absolutely hate it! We saw this in the case of Michael Bint.
We appeal to the Insolvency Service staff to repent and root out the evil in the organisation.
Good point about the weaponisation of the process. There are lots of Directors that are fraudulent who are rightly held to account but there is no rehabilitation. As you said it’s about demonisation.
As said they seem to love naming and shaming ex-sports professionals. If they really cared about the British economy and business, then they would surely work with such people to help young, aspiring sports pros not make the same mistakes?
This is a much-needed wake-up call for Insolvency Service staff, and for other government organisations as well.
Bad things happen when good people stand by and do nothing. Breaking free from day-to-day fears and complacency requires real courage. I pray that Insolvency Service employees take this call to action seriously and recognise their fundamental duty to serve the public. 🙏
As this letter states, “when individuals begin serving the system rather than the system serving the public; the intentions, use, and beneficiaries of that system rightly come into question.” That’s exactly the case and people in the UK and around the world are waking up more and more to how they are being gaslit, bullied and abused by the innumerably smaller number of those sitting in institutions supposed to serve the public good. The true power lies with the people and we are now holding the relative few in these position to account. I pray that as many as possible in the Insolvency Service and many other public institutions can heed the message here and be part of turning things around.
