You really do go for the jugular

Well after I sent the expenses and income list + covering letter. The only thing I got back was marstons demand for £250 / month. I was so disgusted at this amount with no explanation, I decided to ignore and didn't do anything, other than worry.. Then today at 5pm I received an email from the LAA saying because of my/our health and monetary situation they have called off marstons and will not be persuing this any further. My next question is, Any tips on how to go after the £5600 already paid. Tips as in how to word the letter. I can't express how much I am indebted to you all. Thank you so very much.

Nothing, just me, pissed off.

Can I just declare bankrupt? I've had enough I can't do this.

I'm very sorry guys but this is getting to me, you are dealing with a chap with brain problems and limited education, useless at letters, unable to make proper decisions, I have enough looking after my wife

Clear as mud.

Why is there no link to add photos

Thankyou Honeybee. Useless with tecky stuff.

Thank you so very much for your help.

Yes I will ignore Marstons and stick with the LAA.

Sorry guys in not keeping you up to date but they (LAA) gave me 3 months to get my income and expenditure and appeal letter to them. Which I did about 3 weeks ago, then this letter came today from marstons. Nothing from LAA since July. I think they just passed it on to marstons. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. It don't half take the pressure off. I think the best course of action will be a letter to Jane Harbottle direct. The minions don't seem to listen. THANK YOU ALL.

Hi guys n gals. Well after months of nothing happening they asked for a statement of income and outgoing. The following is their reply £250 / month for the rest of my life. I think not. What the heck (non priority expenditure) I'm a 69 year old pensioner on £1150 / month income. Where the heck do I have non priority expenditure?????. Oh what to do. 2020-11-12 Marston Letter @£250PCM.pdf

I will don't you worry about that. Plus a donation.

I think it was my wife's letter that did the trick. She wrote after me. Thanks guys without all your help I could not have got this far. I was at a dangerous stage. It's a great result, a big weight off, but still further to go. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I have to as its not over yet. Thank you all I will come back again soon.

Hi guys No letters received as yet, the only update is the gaffer now knows about this demand , im sure you can imagine the crap really hit the fan. The only thing i have found out is the LAA have a complaints department and a complaints system thats supposed to be followed. OOOPS I suppose im not alone in this predicament. Had i realised it was going to come to this id have told the lawyers to do one. Keep safe ya'll . https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/legal-aid-agency/about/complaints-procedure What do i do if anything ???? Oh and BTW i almost forgot , forgetting lots lately, thats why i went to the docs. I have just this week been diagnosed with Brain Calcification , whoopee on top of all this. Side effects are unbelievable, check it out. Seems ive had it for a number of years , it explains lots of problems ive had.

Got this today .Your comments please much appreciated. I note your comments stated in regards to your current circumstances and wife’s health conditions. However, I must advise that, whilst we appreciate the difficulty faced by the current circumstances, you remain liable for the amount of £10XXXXX When calculating your Capital Contribution Order we assessed using the Final Defence Costs the Legal Aid Agency paid to your solicitor and barrister and the disposable capital both you and your wife hold. As previously stated in the email sent by ourselves on 11th June 2020, if you disagree with the figures used to calculate your disposable capital or current liability, please submit evidence so that we may conduct a review. If evidence cannot be provided for a review, I would advise that you contact our collection and enforcement agents, Marston Holdings Ltd (Marstons) in order to discuss payment. We understand your concerns regarding external contact during the pandemic and the risk to your family’s safety. Please be advised that during this situation, visits from Marstons are highly unlikely. However, I must advise you that as the liability has not been paid, in order to secure the debt owed it is likely that Marstons will apply for a charge to be secured against your property; please note that where enforcement action such as this is taken, the fees incurred will be added to your account. If this action is taken you will be notified accordingly. Once a charge has been secured this will allow for you to arrange a payment plan with Marstons. When considering a payment plan, Marstons will consider your current income and outgoings in order to arrive at an affordable figure. If you wish to conduct a review, please submit all evidence to the National Crime Team as soon as possible. Pease note, if a review cannot be competed, you will remain liable for the full amount which cannot be revoked. I must also confirm that cannot reimburse you for any payments already made. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch via the contact details below. Please quote the MAAT reference XXXXXXX on any future correspondence. Yours sincerely, Caseworker National Crime Team Fothergill House,

Done it boss. 1st class recorded today. Cheers

My wife paid off the mortgage and debts when we moved here , we have no liabilities . The other guys were charged with money laundering i was not, mine was a lesser charge . for me it was a debt collection job that went wrong.... and i got charged with conspiracy to kidnap though there was no kidnap the bloke ran away into the arms of the local plod, who then after some digging decided to go after the big guys for laundering charges. Mine was a small part played on the fringes. I was there to back up the bailiff in carrying out his employment. I tried to get my barrister to appeal but was told there was nothing to appeal on. i got a polite go away and think you are lucky cos they all got time.

As yet there is no charge as the 28 days is not up yet .

marstons are demanding £106855.51p as my final defence costs. Sorry but i had to take time away from this . My wife and i are both on anti depressants my wife also takes an array of pain medication. She is a cancer survivor (throat Cancer ) from 5 years ago . she also cant walk unaided as she needs hips and knees replaced. she is in receipt of P I P payments the top rate. Also prolapsed disc in neck. We moved to an apartment 20 months ago to make it easier for her. i am not the owner, nor part of, she has full ownership . I have not been on any deeds for 10 years before moving here. my wifes total savings are no more than 15k. The car is a motability vehicle. Any other Qs please ask. Once again very sorry but i am not doing too good. Very BIG THANK YOU to all for any help . If anyone knows of a good lawyer to do letters for me i would be happy to pay. I don't have any savings but could raise a couple of grand if need be. yes i made a mistake putting up the letters cos i didnt want my wife to catch me. so figures i got wrong.
