Even though Barry’s morals are questionable, I always got on well with him.  In 2013, I volunteered to create a website for him as the website he had was appalling and unprofessional.  It was created by Barry and his nephew.  It was an embarrassment to what was a quality car sales and service operation.  I spent over a week working on it and I did it entirely for free.  I maintained, hosted and upgraded it for 7 years for free,  until September 29, 2020 when I received notices from his and Martin’s attorney that they were seeking to throw me out of my house. That website earned Barry tens of thousands of pounds; which is why when I shut it off, he had to pay another professional developer to create a new site; which is not very good and has multiple broken links.

A typical exchange with Barry 18 months after the death of my father is typified by the following exchange:

February 26, 2020

Me: ‘Dad died 18 months ago and all I have had from you since then is that nobody wants to screw me except dad. Martin never did anything to influence dad, blah blah. Despite me being the only one dad spent real time with, it was dad that wanted me out of his will and you 3 should get everything. Now you want me to pay the balance of the loan to you Martin and Christine so you can make even more money from dad’s estate while I get nothing and continue to get screwed by you all. You’ve told me what dad must have been thinking in why he wanted to screw me out of any inheritance when you have no idea at all. You keep saying “well, I’ll talk to Martin” and you don’t achieve a thing. I decided against suing the estate so that it wouldn’t screw you, Martin and Christine out of your inheritance and yet I still feel like you’re all screwing me.
We spoke 2 weeks ago, and you said you’d talk to Martin (about you wanting me to send $40,000 before you’d consider assigning the title of my house to me) and of course nothing… The only time I hear from you is when you need something on your website. What incentive do I have to help you when you do F all for me?’

Barry: I have spoken to Martin at length

Me: Nice of you to let me know

Barry: I still need to speak further with him to try and resolve all this but he is not at all happy about being accused of influencing Dad

Me: I want my house title and the rest of you can have all the rest. I have done nothing but try and help and get screwed in return. Martin’s feelings are hurt despite him wasting tens of thousands in his Fort Smith fuck up… He needs to grow up

Barry: You seem to think that I am complicit in try to screw you. I am trying to sort things with Martin but he is very stubborn and angry

Note:  Martin had advised me that the whole estate was worth a lot less than £100,000.  That was always a lie and Martin new it because he had power of attorney over all of the father’s finance for the last 2 years of his life.  I had to purchase online the UK probate document that reveal that there were liquids assets in excess of £180,000 in the UK alone.
