Hi, I'm Hetrosexual/heterosexual.
I think I'm in a bit of a **** storm lately, although maybe I am exaggerating. I was once a successful gambler, having a system in place and often making a few thousand every week.
However up until a few months ago depression starting kicking in, my gambling system unfolded and I became reckless. I have probably lost around £75k in about a year of my savings, which is mainly inheritance money and the odd lump sums from my parents.
I accept I lost a lot of money, I am just lucky that I am not in debt. My parents know and I've been counselling. Gambling has stopped. However what really adds further stress is that a certain company I gamble with have emailed and rang me questioning my source of income. Now the money is mainly my parents that I wasted, and they seem very keen on knowing my parents businesses, and other shares/investments I may have.
I gave them some vague information on the phone and asked them what this is for, and will this information be passed to any third parties etc... they said it's "confidential information" that will be passed on to senior management for review. Mainly because they are worried I am gambling excessively and that they want to know how I'm funding this habit.
But from further emails after the phone call, it seems they want to know a LOT of information..properties I own...the street addresses/rental incomes , investments, shares...business names etc etc.
My main problem is that I'm very reluctant to give these specific information to a gambling company. I would like some help and advice please (NOT about my addiction, more to do so with this pursuit of my wealth).
Thanks.
