Right, it is necessary for a clear statement now. Otherwise, I would be a thief.
The company was anounced shut down last year because the mother company decided to trasfer whole lines to far east. We were made redundency but were asked by mother company (in your sense, the creditor) to help the transfer. As the result, we would receive the ex-gratia because, by law, we had no responsibility for such work (do not argue with me about it, we were told by company boss, well, under the table).
A few of you kindly suggested I should ask IT to reload default before I left company. That is true in general but false in my case. The IT people who can do it left company before we carried out transfer. I had to take this laptop with me to the far east and when we came back after a good few weeks, we did not even have the access to the office because it was rented out already. If the IT guy reloaded the default, I would have no chance to use the laptop in mother company's intranet in far east.

Even in an extreme case like an independent creditor (in another word, asset stripper), they have to hire us to do the transfer/stripping as they need professional.

If you are the creditor and I ask for a laptop for what you ask me to do, would you give me a two-finger to let the millions of pounds of equipment rusted in field or you just hand over this bloody £200 laptop to make me happy working? You judge it!

Right, please please please let us stop here now because I had enough and I had enough help from those big hand. I know what I will do. Thanks!
