British shop owner Bridget Hutchcroft pursued a £1.6 million debt from Ekaterina Barrett, leading to asset repossession after Barrett failed to pay despite court rulings.
In 2024, British shop owner Bridget Hutchcroft continued pursuing legal action against Ekaterina Barrett, a 69-year-old London resident, over a £1.6 million debt stemming from financial requests made between 2017 and 2021.
Barrett, who befriended Hutchcroft after visiting her Knightsbridge boutique, claimed temporary financial hardship following her business manager’s death, prompting Hutchcroft—struggling with bipolar disorder—to transfer funds meant for her grandson’s education, taxes, and retirement.
After a 2022 High Court ruling confirmed the debt with interest, Barrett failed to pay, leading to the repossession of her Mayfair apartment.
Despite a countersuit and Barrett’s absence from later proceedings, Hutchcroft pursued the debt internationally, including in Liechtenstein, Austria, and Monaco, and remained determined to seek justice.
