Who are these companies on my husbands bank statements?
August 4, 2009 - 11:08 am
I’m going through a divorce and have exchanged copies of our bank statements. An extortionate amount of money has been spent with a few different companies but he won’t tell me who they are and the names are very ambiguous. I’ve reason to believe it’s strip clubs and prostitutes.
It’s not a joint bank account so how can I find out who they are? Companies House and Google have shed no light on them either.
Any suggestions?
If the identity of these companies is pertinent to your pending court case, then you can through your lawyer subpoena more detailed records from the bank.
However, simply calling the bank will not work as this account wasn’t yours - and your husbands right to privacy would be breeched if they gave that information to you.

Go to the tax assessors site for your city and search for owners of properties. That way you can see who owned it and what it is used for.

The names on credit cards often bear no resemblance to the real name of it

If your going through a divorce why should he tell you who they are, it has nothing to do with you.If they are strip clubs or prostitutes that’s his business.I think you need to just move on.

Call the bank and ask for details. They may have addresses or phone numbers.

I would call the bank and tell them that you dont recognize the charge and could they give you more details.
COntrary to what some of the posters have said, you have a RIGHT to know what that money was spent on since half of it was your money even if your name was not on that account.

The bank certainly won’t give you any information about your husband’s account - they’d be in serious trouble with data protection issues in the UK if they did.
If his spending has any bearing on your divorce settlement, ask your solicitor how to progress the issue, but if your quest is purely on a ‘want to know’ rather than a ‘relevant and need to know’ basis, I htink you’ll find it pretty difficult to get anywhere.
