Depher /CPH CIC #4 Burnley Council have an approved list and Depher is not on it

[Girty Drifter]

He’s an absolute numb skull. There’s a Facebook group which is new to me where he’s repeatedly posting photos of people they’ve helped, but he’s identifying their faces, their homes, the contents of their bank account and their benefit entitlement on invoices AFTER the ICO tells me he’s been warned about this. I’ll be reporting them again tomorrow.
Also, he made two £50 donations to cancer research on Saturday. Why? Why two?

I thought Gift Aid could only be claimed on personal donations, so is he donating company funds and claiming it’s his own personal money?

Edit: Does he then run it through Depher’s books and claim tax relief on it?

Why does every single thing he does raise more questions?!

Like everything else, it seems he doesn't understand what Gift Aid is.

Like everything else, it seems he doesn't understand what Gift Aid is.

He understands so very little. Like this dog ‘thank you’ letter (that doesn’t contain the phrase ‘thank you’) and wasn’t there another charity letter that he posted claiming it was a personal ‘thank you’? I do wonder whether this is indicative of his level of literacy, or if he simply doesn’t bother reading it so assumes no one else will.

That dog letter is just batshit crazy. I reckon the only plan in his head is to spam socials with as much bumph as he can find, hoping nobody will read it properly. He hasn't taken into account the beady eyes of the Twitter watchers who won't let him emit a fart without investigating it and the tattlers who keep track too.

Nah it was a generic Jehovah’s Witness letter he claimed was a thank you letter
He also signed up to the Cancer Research mailing list and acted as if they had written to him personally hahahaha

 

[Girty Drifter]

That was it! To paraphrase @MurielSnark, absolutely batshit. He is a very strange man indeed.

Oh good, this again. Nice timing Jimmy.

 

[Girty Drifter]

The Google reviews for Depher are getting a little interesting. A few from people saying they’ve been blocked on SM, and one tonight saying he hasn’t bothered to turn up to a private job booked. He’s replied to all of them except the latest one in his usual professional manner.

Oh good, this again. Nice timing Jimmy.

Discusting.
I presume he'll be able to show a redacted newspaper article about this then - before he siphons money in that direction.

Burnley seems to be like the Wild West with all these scammers, along with being the Bermuda Triangle for boilers.

And a made up crime reference number from 2023

So, Blue only came to England last year? See?! No way is Jimmy racist!

 

[lilykestrel]

Is the 'more to come in the next few days' going to involve a machete and/or respite care and/or the bathroom of her dreams

Maybe Blue the dog is Balkan (by marriage)?

Like everything else, it seems he doesn't understand what Gift Aid is.

So much of his drama could be resolved by hiring a competent accountant

Was it you, Jim?

I'm pretending he's just self reporting his own crimes now for my own amusement.

A competent accountant would tell him to wise up and stop what he’s doing though, so that will never happen

Interesting how many of those reviews are from people who’ve never used the service but seen St James on TV. A programme shown in Germany keeps getting mentioned, did anyone catch that? (I dip in and out of Tattle as my blood pressure allows these days!)

I googled that German tv thing to see if it was real as the reviews looked sus and I’m sure it just showed the “this lady’s invoice went viral” story on like a local community tv network with some dubbed Depher fb videos. It wasn’t some huge documentary type thing

 

[Tin Can Crook]

He's reposted this, the fact he thinks he's above the law is startling to be honest.

Nobody forced him to operate as a CIC.

Starting to lose hope on the BBC thing, not going to lie.

He gets the first twenty mins of this ARTEde thing "Poor in (spite of) work" (ARTEde is a Franco-German public broadcaster, but it is legit, one of those European dual language cultural exchange projects we don't really have in Britain cos we're insular little so and sos etc.). From the production values it looks like it's filmed by them.

Haven't watched it all, just skimmed through, but looks like it's following him round on a day fixing a tap and he gets to bleat about magic moments of beauty
The German dub actor voice choice is v funny tho
