Hi All, following on from my previous post, I would really like to get some proper solicitors advice regards my situation and urgently!!!! I can't find ANYONE! Has anyone got any ideas of a firm etc that could help? I ideally need a one to one and then from there and as quick as poss (today!) My local CAB is closed today!!!!!

Posts crossed again! Not good enough on all points at all

Hi, It would make no difference attending, although they say I have given a statement in lieu of attending! (Not sure how I can have done that having not seen any evidence until now!) It would appear they can dismiss me immediately, I take it that means i get paid on suspension until next Wednesday when the hearing is? The thing is the allegations really are word against word so I have no way of defending them just as they have no way of proving them, but that means i'm out basically eh! (Looks like I am going to have to cover up 6 years of ridiculous hard work to avoid references!!!)

Hi and thanks for your replies. It is gross misconduct and some of the allegations are very serious. Many are complete lies but word against word. I gave notice of five weeks as per my contract. I was originally told, when first suspended, that if I resigned everything would stop as there would be no allegations to be had. They feel they have found sufficient enough evidence (although all from past employees, and clients who are alcoholics and drug users!) to dismiss. So basically I'm stuffed? They can dismiss and ignore my resignation? Thanks

Hi All I'll try to keep this short! I was suspended on full pay following 5 serious allegations back in April, I initially went "sick" due to stress for 6 weeks so during that time they couldn't hold an investigation meeting but obviously could get there case together and hold interviews etc. Having informed them I was back available to work, I received a letter inviting me to an investigation meeting, I declined that by handing in a letter of resignation dated 12th June. They initially wrote saying they wanted me to reconsider and attend an interview. I declined again and reiterated my desire to resign. I received a letter stating that I had to attend an investigation interview or my pay would be stopped, I could provide a statement instead. I provided the statement and have today received a full report and bits regards a Disciplinary Hearing to take place next Wednesday in my absence, recommendation Instant Dismissal. CAN THEY DO THAT? I'VE RESIGNED? Thanks :-?

Yep, will talk to a friend of mine and seek his legal advice (handy knowing a solicitor) Cheers

Oh great! Well either way he has no right to be emailing me in that way. I am sure the judge will find it interesting, harrassment while awaiting a court date etc.

Only to friends or friends of friends. Mind you, how do you know i'm on facebook? lol Bloody big brother this eh!

Hi all YES catergorically I have never given him my email address and it has always been hidden on here. BUT he definately emailed me direct not through pm etc. Pepipoo are of the opinion we have a rogue mod? Could admin investigate somehow please?

Come to think of it, how did he get my email off here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOh think i may have to get legal advise.

HI have pm'd you already about 15 mins ago. Thanks very much

His email reads........ Dear Mr Milner, We have recently written to you in relation to your court action for an outstanding parking ticket. We have requested the CCTV images to be copied onto disc and we will endeavour to get a copy to you – Please can you advise a format to which you can view video clips. Thank You Paul Scott Combined Parking Solutions.

Thanks all, well he has gained my email address and jumped in. News for him.......be prepared you need to be mate.

Hi All Well I recieved a ticket for parking by a private company Combined Parking Solutions of Wolverhampton. I followed the advice on here Next thing I get are some court papers to fill in. So I filled it in saying I had not heard from them regards the letter and denying responsibility for parking there. Now it's gone further to county court and a hearing set for September!!!!! HELP! I've just received a letter from them, it's long but well worth a read please and any advice of what to do very gratefully accepted! What do I do? Can they do this? As for the CCTV I have never seen it and they don't confirm for instance how many people? They say "children" BUT it was a child for starters so are they playing a game or what? PLEASE HELP SOMEONE Thanks

Hi Reclaimant, Well I declined interview on the basis I didn't have all the facts etc. (In fact I still don't have some of the info I requested!) They rescheduled and on the morning of the interview I called in sick and self certificated until seeing the Doctor. The Doctor has then signed me off for two weeks. They have contacted me twice while ill. My Doctor is due to see me next Thursday and has already stated she expects to sign me off again due to the nature of stress and pressure they have put me under. Meanwhile I am deciding what to do. I am pretty certain that once I am fit for work I will resign as purely the way they have treated me means I would never go back anyway. Regards my notice, it looks like I have 5 weeks (one for each full year of service). I will add in how amazingly supportive and helpfull shootmeplz has been in the background. Thanks for your interest.
