Updates
Additional information has come forward, thanks to the anonymous posters for supplying this. Basically Ryan comes across as a feckless waster with multiple debts and problems. He is estranged from his family about money. He has children in the UK he has never paid maintenance for. Its likely he will abandon his two children in the Philippines. I've spoken to various members of his family. One said about the £500 "you'll be lucky" (to get it back). Ideally I'd like the telephone number or address of his Aunt in Coventry. If you have this information, then please do send it to me.
Ryan Hollis was recently believed to be in Coventry, staying with an Aunt. However, word has it he is intending to move (or already has moved) to Hull to take up a job. If you have a telephone number or address for Ryan, or his aunt, or anyone close to him please submit it anonymously.
Thanks to all those who have submitted information. However, it would help if you would give me an email address to follow up with. If you don't want, never mind, but please have a think and try to give me names, dates and places. Where did you see him, what street, where? When did you see him? Is it years ago or last week? Those who submitted telephone numbers, one doesn't work. Please send again.
Please note, this is not about intimidation or violence. I do not want him beaten up or anything as stupid as that. I just want my money back. It was lent in good faith and through trying to help a 'friend'. If I find Ryan, I'll ask him to pay me back in installments as I already have (but which he has ignored). If this fails, I shall take him to the small claims court. I have enough evidence that he borrowed from me. And additional information that has been forthcoming indicate I am not the first person who has been left out of pocket. So he needs to stop this. And be told that living beyond your means and suckering others is not the right way forward. Ideally, I want his phone number and address. If you have it, or know someone who does, please let me know. I need this to issue proceedings in the court.
New Plans. I'm prepared to take a loss. If you can persuade Ryan to pay me back, I'll give you £100 of the money. If you can help get in touch alex@ryanhollis.co.uk.
