Good luck and all the best. TAG

Nystagmite- the answer to that is that's why John has started this thread. This is so difficult. Have you considered going to your employers. I'm not advising you to, that's not my place, just wondered if you would feel happier about doing that than waiting to be accused. TAG

As usual sound advice. As the advice appears to be that you are not in a strong position. Perhaps you should be thinking, I didn't steal the money so who did and how and when could it have been done? Evidently you were in a vulnerable position working with two others. Looking at the scenario perhaps writing what happened down will help catch the thief or theives. If you are certain that the money was there before the bag was sealed think the question is why did your colleagues not follow procedure? Leaving you to count and re-seal the bags. I expect you have considered this but certainly your employees have brains and would wonder what actually happened. I think I'd be thinking as your employee that if you stole the money you hadn't thought it through as the finger would definately be on you. Do you think this was a genuine mistake by your colleagues or are they responsible for the theft? Got to be one or the other. I'd be .............. furious if they had done this to me.

Hi! Welcome to the forum. I just dropped in to say that there are lots of people with lots of experience and help on here so hang on in there. One question how does anyone know that there was £500 in the money bag?

Hi Tilly! For some reason havn't received any updates. But found you again. Pleased the meeting went well and glad you had a work colleague with you. We shall now all sit and wait with you and your family for the next step. Must be such a relief for your daughter to get it all off her chest. Wish you all well and take care of that tough little darling. What a boy he must be! TAGx

Great news, best of luck for Wednesday. Know that you will take notes but had you thought of an independent person being present i.e. not family? Past experience has taught me that no matter how nice people are (or appear to be) always nice to have that independent person around for clarification at a later date. TAG

zippygbr- you know you really should read the posts properly. On this occasion you appear to be yet again hijacking a simple problem NEGLIGENCE. Don't think anyone has got as far as compensation. On that score how long is the rocky road down the personal injury, negligence, causation scenario? People make mistakes they must learn from their mistakes. If a person is injured along the way they must be compensated. do you agree with that? I don't mind entering into sensible, LOGICAL, debate exchanging views that are relevant and useful but must warn you that I for one will not be drawn into your historical examples of argument. My genuine concerns are for Tilly's grandson and family. Think we were all avoiding the long term argument deliberately.

Well said Caro, this thread is about a negligent pharmacist has nothing to do with a prescribed medication. Perhaps Zippygbr should have started a new thread to bring to the attention of the public that unlicensed drugs are being prescribed for children. There would be many reasons for this action e.g.terminally ill children where any hope of a cure is important. That debate would be interesting and helpful. In the meantime Tilly's grandson and family have suffered enough without this dreadful mistake. The little baby must be such a fighter and the family don't need this further complication to contend with. Anyone who has a child with long term health problems, and unfortunately there are many, understands the stress. Everything else stands still and is relative. Good luck Tilly and family and stay strong. TAGx

zippygbr - are we talking pallative care? Think your wires are crossed the doctor did not make a decision to use the medication. The medication was wrongly dispensed, think Tilly was suggesting that the situation is worse because the medication dispensed should not be used in that age group never mind the amount or the fact that it had not been prescribed!

Oh Annie I feel so sorry for you. The bit about being scared is awful. I can understand where you are coming from re the claim for the child care but on the bright side you do have children! Some of the people that you hear about have no children and own loads of houses. It's so easy to say try not to worry but it really is your only option particularly if you are thinking of working so hard. It was a stupid silly mistake and that's that. Move on in your head Annie remember think positively. What will be will be. Your remorse is evident. TAGx

GREAT NEWS HB:cheer2:

I wore a white blouse with black spots today. Three year old grandson said, "I like your shirt, Nana you look like a Dalmation!" After putting him into his car seat and attempting to get into the driving seat, my arthritis is nasty this week, and moaning, "oh my knee" he informed me that it wasn't my knee it was because I had a big bottom! I told him, "so Nana is a Dalmation with a big bottom!" "Yes", he said, with a big grin on his face!

Insurance Ombudsman for the insurance company. Solicitor try the Legal Ombudsman. However it is expected to wait fourteen days for a reply from a solicitor. I know it's annoying but the only way forward sometimes is self help and this is where this forum comes in. From my experience this where others experience can help you to go forward. Sorry but the small print is there to be read. You appear to have been let down by solicitors it is up to you to sort it out.

Do you have a copy of the original insurance document? Small print may be helpful. All postings are helpful, pressure can be put on firm by their authority for them to answer you. Solicitors are negligent if fail to answer. Have you tried the Insurance Ombudsman? If the insurance has matured what's happening to the money now? Evidently the insurance company will not have an address for your ex wife.

Well tracked Tilly, now WHACK them! love from another protective mum/grandmother x

I think a four year old would have been absolutely truthful and definately have more sense. To cheer you up - I'm having to do the nursey run for my 3 1/2 year old grandson from nursery, still waiting for his mum's operation. Took him to a local garden centre today for some seeds to grow lettuce and enjoy the plants. A lovely lady started to talk to him. She said, "How old are you?" He responded three and a half years old. (actual words)Lady said, "when will you be four?" He answered, "after three." Lady responded, "well you're quite right". Our grandchildren are very precious in fact all children are precious, they are our future.

OK firstly have to point out that I am not legally qualified but have a bit of experience of similar situation but not through divorce. Am I getting the situation correct? You bought a house with your wife on an enowment mortgage. Subsequently divorced. Kept the endowment mortgage, with insurance obviously.Divorce settlement left you with the mortgaged house and of course related insurance. In order to facilitate the settlement you further mortgaged tht property and needed a "top up endowment policy". Divorce settlement, consent order agreeing you to be the sole owner of property and related policy. You later repaid the original mortgage and continued to repay the original insurance. This is where I lose the plot. After selling the original property you purchased a new property was that an interest only mortgage? Was the original policy transferred to the mortgage for the new house? Sorry to sound thick but I am thinking this because you say that the matured policy should pay off the present mortgage. At this point the lender would have picked up the problems you are talking about and requested proof that you were the sole owner of the policy. Did the lender request that the insurance policy be kept with the mortgage? Are we talking about an endowment policy because I think that endowment policies are not paid to you personally but to the lender as you have been paying interest only repayments. I think that insurance certificates are "deeds" so would not think that ex solicitor would have destroyed an assignment of a deed. think that assignments may be deeds too. This is not much help to you may spark some memories or help from an expert. Any help out there from insurance experts?

Outcome- Friend reports that over 70 cases being heard for the same problem that day i.e. DVLA stating that registration document not returned. F repeated the advice from the forum. DVLA prosecutor asked why F had not checked why acknowledgment not received. F repeated advice from forum. DVLA P said he had not heard of this before. Magistrates suggested that he should settle with F. DVLA P said they had offered a fine of £55. F replied that he had returned the Reg Doc. DVLA P said that it would have to go to trial. I would like to know who is paying for this to go trial when there is no evidence produced by DVLA that the Reg Doc was not returned? F had produced evidence that it had been sent.

OK I understand that but if you check with the LR the date that the property was changed into your sole name the solicitor would have had to have had (mouthful!)the permission of your lender to change the ownership into your sole name. In order to do this your ex wife would have signed a document giving up her rights and or the lender would have released her from her obligations under the mortgage. The mortgagee would, I would have thought, agreed to the same with the insurance company. If not again, I would have thought, that the lender was negligent in not ensuring that the policy matched the loan. If you see what I mean? How was the property owned by you and your ex wife? Were you beneficial joint tenants or tenants in common? A bit confused you mentioned that this was a life insurance taken out to cover an old endowment policy. So are you saying that it is linked to the mortgage? Evidently if it is the maturity of the insurance would be to repay the mortgage as endowment mortgages were interest only repayments with capital being repaid by insurance. Sorry to sound confused.

Just a thought. If this was an endowement policy, linked to a mortgage, and you paid out your wife's interests in the property, was the registration at the Land Registry changed? The LR will have all the files and applications.

Sorry Beachbird that I didn't respond, worried about certain issues, think I've been watched. Jobcentre suddenly cancelled appointment, no explanation. Still no op will update when, if it ever happens. So sorry to hear about your son. How badly damaged is he? TAGx

TAG's here again! Oh,oh! Little explanation:- I have experienced wrong prescribing of medication within family on several occasions. One had devastating affect on my mother. For the record I accepted the mistake, no claim, also no apology other than nurse telling me that she wanted me to know that she had nothing to do with it. That's when I found out that mother had been given treatment for a condition she didn't have, medication caused severe fitting. Hoping all going well with baby. Hoping all going well with Tilly and family. Hoping pharmacist is dispensing correct medication for other patients. That's all. xxx

Hi, friend has same problem so worried came to ask for help as know I love this forum. What a great help this thread has been. Have passed on the info to friend and will let you know their outcome.

Sorry HB can't agree, a pharmacist's job is to prescribe the correct medication otherwise they are negligent. This poor baby and family suffered as a direct result of negligence. Yes it's good to apologise but lessons have to be learnt or someone else will suffer. The question is how can you compensate for such danger and worry? Surely the answer should be with the person or family affected.
