So I was unfairly dismissed, took company to tribunal and was persuaded by friends, family and lawyer to settle out of court!
I got 6 monthe pay as a "goodwill gesture"
Is it possible to re visit the case as, due to being unemployable, (when a prospective new employer asks "why did you leave etc" the answer they are not looking for is), because I was dismissed for gross misconduct! I maxed out all my cards just to get by and pay bills.
The current situation is that a debt management company has helped us arrange lower payments to our creditors but this can't go on forever and now the mortgage company want the house!
Could I retrospectively sue the company ??
Even though the settlement said it was Full and final!!

Thanks for the replies,

I am working now but as I said where once our household income was £50k + it is now just over £30K and having had 6 months incomeless I find myself now 12 months later still suffering the residual effects of maxing out all credit streams (I know it was stupid) the mortgage company have told us the only thing left for us to do is sell up!

Back to the bottom again!

Bugger!
