Has Martin lewis lost all his money? I seriously doubt it. But Lorne Spicer, another well-known ‘peoples champion’ has gone bankrupt. Tough times at the moment – even for those who are supposedly in the know!
The Sun can reveal the Cash In The Attic host — who is also the BBC’s online credit crunch guru — went bust last month with debts believed to be in the “thousands”.

Perhaps when he files his accounts for last year, we can see how much he made. If he ever does: http://blogs.thisismoney.co.uk/this_is_money_blog/2008/09/money-saving-ex.html
Wouldn’t we all love to know …!
Still, I bet he pays the £1k fine so we can’t find out.
@malcolm – he lives in a multi-million pound house in Kensington. I think that tells you all you need to know
@George – congratulations on the sensationalist headline with a tenuous/invisible link to the truth. We’ll make an insurance marketeer out of you yet
@Ernest, thank you sir. I’m learning. Slowly.
Multimillion pound house?
I looked it up, he lives near Latimer Road, a flat bought for £425k in 2005.
BTW, he didn’t fail to file his accounts:
6. How long do I normally have to file my accounts?
Unless you are filing your company’s first accounts (see question 5) the time normally allowed for delivering accounts to Companies House is:
for a private company, 10 months from the ARD; or
for a public company, 7 months from the ARD.
ARD is 31st October.
31 October plus 10 months is 31 August
And what happened a week before that?
