Agent in loan fraud after company cash was stolen from his car
Summary
Mark Boyle, a 50‑year‑old lending agent for Provident Personal Credit Limit, left €4,500 of company cash in his car, which was stolen. He did not inform his employer and instead secured loans in the names of family and friends to repay the company, promising to repay the loans himself. Boyle's repayments became difficult, leading him to borrow further. Provident, suspicious of the loans, confronted Boyle, who confessed. Boyle pleaded guilty to one charge of theft and one of fraud, covering 20 incidents between August 2015 and January 2016. He repaid over €8,000, leaving a balance of €10,600, which he handed to his solicitor for Provident. Judge Martin Nolan, noting Boyle's full repayment and lack of prior convictions, sentenced him to two years' imprisonment, fully suspended on the condition that the €10,600 be handed over to Provident.
