Sheffield: Woman “abused scheme” to get £98,000 in Covid loans

A bankrupt former hairdresser has been made subject to strict sanctions for 12 years after falsely claiming almost £100,000 in Covid loans.

Hannah Walker, 31, applied for a £50,000 “bounce back” loan for her baking business in June 2020 and said it had a turnover of more than quarter of a million pounds, despite only trading for two weeks.

The next day, she applied to a different bank for a loan of £48,000 for the business called “Something Sweet”, and claimed its turnover was £230,000.

Samantha Crook, deputy Official Receiver at the Insolvency Service, said Walker “blatantly abused” the scheme during “one of the toughest times the country faced”.
