Actor Neil Morrissey Enters IVA to Repay Debt

Known as a star of the hit show ‘Men Having Badly’ and the voice of children’s show ‘Bob the Builder’, actor Neil Morrissey was also an investor. Unfortunately, his property investments did not turn out as he hoped and his company got into financial troubles that forced his partner into bankruptcy after only five years.

Morrissey’s company had invested in several ventures including a pub that Welsh poet Dylan Thomas had been known to frequent. When the property scheme collapsed, Morrissey was quoted as saying he felt “morally obliged” to repay his debts via an individual voluntary arrangement instead of declaring bankruptcy.

At age 47, Morrissey will spend the next three years repaying his debt, but has said he feels most comfortable with this solution at a personal level.
