Hide AdBut today (Weds), we have learned that the hearing has been postponed until January 2016 so reports can be prepared.
Gregory, of Valley Road, Spital, Chesterfield, pleaded guilty to three charges of engaging in unfair commercial practices in August last year.
At the time, Gregory’s sentencing was delayed by six months, following reassurances that she would be able to repay the money owed to her victims.
But Derby Crown Court heard in April that Gregory had not repaid her victims.
