I don't know who made the statement yet, but on the day in question there were only women in the office and I'm assuming it was one of the 2 woman who I made a complaint about.

Not as far as I'm aware ms-smith, there's no mention of a pre-hearing review, and at the bottom of the orders it says a notice of hearing will follow in due course. I assumed it was because they have large backlogs. Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it was a very small office (albeit a huge company) and there are no witnesses I could use to help my case, as it is one of the office workers, I don't know who yet, has made a false witness statement about the day in question, considering I never even spoke to her on the day. In a nutshell, and I will try and keep it brief, but as you can imagine it's a long story - I made a grievance about 2 of my work colleagues bullying and harrassing behaviour towards me to my immediate manager, who I had spoken to previously about it informally and she did nothing about it, as she is friends with the workers in question. On that day I left work early after speaking to a more senior manager over the phone, originally he was going to come and speak to me on the day, but then said to meet him after my holiday, but to go home early as he 'didn't want me in the environment for my health and safety' until he could meet with me. I had 3 days off on holiday and was due to meet with him on my return to work. In the meantime I recieved a letter stating that I had been suspended on the day and to attend a disciplinary, and then subsequently I was dismissed for fabricated reasons, they manufactured gross misconduct claim against me. I appealed the dismissal and was denied it, and then after the dismissal and me chasing the grievance hearing, they ran the grievance procedure through as a paper exercise and the final appeal decision was to not uphold my grievance. So basically, they have not followed correct procedures in terms of dealing with a grievance before any disciplinary hearings. And also I was dismissed as a direct result of making a complaint about bullying by my work colleagues and my manager being complicit in the bullying.

Thanks ms-smith, I don't have a hearing date yet, we have to exchange witness statements and statement of loss by 10th August and then I'm to inform the tribunal by the 17th August whether the orders have been complied with and that i'm ready for the hearing. I suppose it all depends now on whether they comply with the orders, but if they don't I am going to apply to have their defense thrown out. I hope this doesn't delay the hearing date, as it's been 8 months since I was dismissed.

Thank you RachelMD, that puts my mind at rest. I know I can't do anything about it, I just panicked that I'd somehow given them an advantage by seeing my evidence before they needed to and that they can form their defense around it (read - more lies). That site is awesome, thanks!

Hi, I think I have made a mistake and need some advice please. I have an ET case going through at the moment. I recieved the orders of tribunal stating that the parties are to agree a bundle of documents, and it states all parties must disclose all relevant documents they have, and the deadline was 27th July. I have sent in all my documents, and an index, to the respondents solicitors, however I haven't recieved anything from them. I am now writing to them to chase it up, and sending a copy to the tribunal. I've just read on a help site that I only needed to send them an index of the documents I plan to include in the bundle, so did I make a mistake by sending in a copy of all the documents as well? I assumed that 'disclose' meant give them a copy of the documents, and hope I didn't make an error. Many thanks.

Hiya, I sent a CCA request to 1st Credit for a CitiFinancial loan that was passed on to them. They didn't respond so I sent the second letter that I obtained from here and I now have a final response from them. They admit that they cannot enforce the debt whilst there is a CCA request in place, however the rest of their letter confuses me .... Please advise which statute you are relying on which states that a default notice or data that is believed to be correct must be removed whilst a CCA request is being dealt with. You have not specified upon which ground you rely for your notice under s10 of the Data Protection Act and therefor we do not consider this valid; furthermore this is not a valid request as it falls under the exemption in Schedule 2 section 2(a) of the Act. After this account was passed to 1st Credit payments were maintained and paid by Direct Debit, only 1st Credit were not reducing the debt and kept writing to say that the account was in arrears. I wrote to them asking for statements and advising that payments were being made. No response and then they defaulted it for £1917. I have not made any payments since the default as I wasn't sure they would be allocated to the account and started this process. Now on my file it states balance £700? So credit reference info is incorrect anyway as it shouldn't have defaulted for that amount (well not at all as payments were being made) Has anyone had a similar letter from a company and what does it mean or what should I write back?? Many thanks to anyone that can shed light.

Hello everyone, I am currently going through a claims company regarding unenforceable CCA's, I did my bank charges myself, but didn't have the confidence and knowledge at the time to do our 2 loans and 1 card. So far I am happy with them. My query is that I had an Egg card which I cleared about 1 and half year ago when we remortgaged. This shows as a default on my credit file. I am wondering if I do a DPA request for my CCA and it is found to be unenforceable or they don't have it, can I use this to ask them to remove the Default from my credit file? I'm not bothered about getting any money back, just want the default removed. Is this possible??
