Hi I am in the process of claiming CTB. They are driving me mad just wondered lol they asked me for audited accounts I wish we qualified for ! However my husbands accountant is completing last years accounts in August in line with VAT bill. They can see we are in receipt of benefit and need payslips no problem - however they have asked for business statements too ? Why would I need to produce these ? can I redact any of it (not that I can think of a reason why to redact) ? Hate having to talk to the local authority as they make me feel like I have done something wrong. Like I provided all info first requested then the tell me that I have not sent it even though it was sent early .. apparently I sent it too the council tax department (this is council tax) they told me I should have sent it to housing benefit ... really could they not have passed it to a colleague in house what has happened to administration ?

mobility how far can you walk is still on the form in that section They have 45 letters of supporting information already I need to fill in my surgeries during the last 3 years why does this form send me into panic every time it comes I mean I have a degenerative disease and they were the ones who originally signed me off WHEN I was 33 for 10 years. I'm going to bite the bullet I think and fill it in mostly with NO and if the spit it back at me I will do a long winded detail of how my disability effects me ! Too old too tired and too much other stuff to think of ... Thought they were doing soft touch reviews of long term ill or is that why they ask that first question has your condition changed

Well the brown envelope arrived yesterday In this new form the top option to pick on almost every page is Tell us if something has changed So will No be acceptable answer?

DX Shoosmiths conduct with other traders has been underhand, sent court docs to wrong addresses and won claims by default . It's not only failed advertising CAT are re directing companies enquiries to other traders, they have removed all direct contact details, you don't have to have any insurances to advertise with them anymore. Anyone can leave reviews even if you have never done work for them this list goes on and on.

The letter from Shoosmiths is addressed to My husbands name followed by T/A I have to get something over to them tonight to delay this as I am having a hip replacement tomorrow and will not be able to deal with this further for a couple of weeks or more

fkofilee It would be eeerrrm directed at the company I think ? As advertising was for a business They are jokers they really are! The email address for correspondance is checkatrade@shoosmiths.co.uk so they have a whole department that are trying to take advantage of traders

Mantis Is there a way us traders can take reverse action against CAT as there are so many of us CAT is doing this to?

Hi all My husband has an issue with Checkatrade. Since September 21 we have been sending emails (8) and calling them to inform them that we would be cancelling our direct debit as their business model is nothing like what we were sold. We never signed any agreement with CAT. We then were told that we were on auto renew which we never signed up for! So in January I called & emailed them again and said enough is enough I am cancelling DD. Again no response. Once DD cancelled I then get emails demanding money! I again spoke with them and emailed them no response. A member of their team called on Friday of last week and said they would call back on Monday which is today, however we have just received a letter from Shoosmiths solicitors who have been past the so called debt. We are not the only one that are having this issue with CAT ... I want to defend this claim as it is total nonsence has anyone had any dealings with Shoosmiths any advice where to go from here?

Would it not have a claim form in bundle? Also I'm a little confused because it says her insurance have paid her out but she is claiming the money again? Either way the court should have issued documents also no? So I'm a little dim hey won't have claim form until which time someone responds to say they are going to defend the claim

DX / ANDY I was just about to email both insurance and solicitor but there are missing pages from this claim form the summons page the log in details and the place of hearing and date is missing ! The online system says there is no such case number? This is blarney isn't it ? Surely this in itself is illegal? If this was a summons then the court would have had to serve it wouldn't they ? When I have to do a money claim online to recoup my sons money after being sold a dud car they had to send it and I nearly had to pay twice as the first time i put the address down as 296A when it was meant to be 296B

You hero Do you see how improbably their account is ? I'll send it to the Insurance company now and as advise send the first 2 paragraghs to the solicitors. Your amasing ! I'll let you know what happens .... HERO

It doesn't contain sensitive info but way too much info - I have sent it through Very much appreciate your assistance

Sorry didn't know if you would get notification of my message if i didn't quote you

Andy Apologies You know my brain shuts off without notice hence the delay I wonder can I send you a DM as I have drafted a letter and would value your opinion !

Andy I've had to pop out can we continue tomorrow I'm mindful I have to address this with haste

2. First class post, document exchange or other service which provides for delivery on the next business day Date of posting, or leaving with, delivering to or collection by the relevant service provider. Sent 2nd class What does court dispense of service of the claim form mean What counts as evidence? As the only thing I can think of is I tried to put her on the MARAC list and I have been talking to a member of the UK safe guarding team for advice 7.5 well sent 2nd class and she as not received it - by dates the final date is the 20th March am I correct ? Date of delivery here was 7th March

It says date of claim 20th November 20 but the date stamp on this letter is 5th March 21

Its on the claim form as second defendant This is all made up rubbish! Wis I could handle this for her !

Andy - you don't understand I do not know where she is living I don't even know if she is in the country she is not allowed to contact me nor any of her friends

Gick Thank you for your understanding! Coercive relationships are so horrible I miss and think of my daughter every minute of every day - I'm worried sick ! This solicitors letter says it's constitutes formal service of court proceedings - Date of RTA was Dec 2019

I can't do that it's the other person's private name and addr as details But it's a London address

Here you go hope it's right !

Will do bare with me

Now how would I find those details It says county court money claims center dated 23 November 2020 with a claims number May be an ambulance chaser (I would guarantee it is as this solicitor is also 200 miles away too) Bank fodder ? Who is who ? don't understand? Claimant the person who drove into my daughters car - my daughter (defendant) + additional defendant on claim is the insurer

Hi I received a letter from a solicitor yesterday for my daughter (who no longer lives here) from a solicitor. It is a county court claim in relation to a RTA 2 years ago. I have some questions in this regard No.1 She doesn't live here anymore and I have no idea where she is (due to a far from ideal relationship he won't let her contact me) No.2 I don't understand the details are at best miss representations No.3 They say the Insurance company has admitted liability although she was not at fault They say she hit them at 40mph and then again at the opposite side of the car at 30mph when in truth to vehicle pulled out at a T junction into the front of er car. causing significant damage to my daughters car. No.4 Apparently my daughters insurance has accepted liability however they are claiming which has as stated in this claim already been satisfied by her insurers No.5 On schedule of costs it details physio costs for which there is no doctors referral detailing back pain and neck pain for which the walk in clinic advised paracetamol and it notes this woman has had significant back pain for 10 years? No.6 Its also lists 2 defendants my daughter and the insurer. No.7 The chosen court is 200 miles away ! I have photos which totally disprove these peoples account, but my daughter isn't here can't tell her . Should I respond to this and detail the evidence I have here on my CCTV. Give them pictures of the road where the accident happened totally disproving their account? I don't know what to do
