flag Bradford man ordered to repay £123K after fraudulently obtaining £100K in pandemic loans.

flag Shohid Ahmed, a Bradford man, has been ordered to repay £123,000 plus £6,000 in costs after being jailed for two years in 2025 for fraudulently obtaining £100,000 in Bounce Back Loans during the pandemic. flag He used his wife’s name and falsified documents, including a fake director and non-existent renovation invoice, to secure the loans, claiming funds were for business refurbishments despite the company having ceased trading. flag Only £15,000 was repaid. flag A court in March 2026 issued a confiscation order requiring full repayment within three months or face an additional 15 months in prison. flag Ahmed was also disqualified as a company director for 11 years. flag The Insolvency Service stressed that prison time does not end financial accountability for fraudsters.
