Can anyone help me with filing an online response to a claim form I received via Shulmans for a Southern Water debt. I realise I will have something to pay, but they are claiming from 09/07/2007 and I only moved into the property in the November 2007. In addition, am I right in thinking that that over 6 years is subject to the statute of limitations and can therefore not be claimed for. I completed an acknowledgment form within the 14 days, but I’m now feeling anxious that my online response covers everything correctly to give me the best outcome. ​Help needed
  4. I was 66 yrs old 2 days ago. I have been in hospital for 3 weeks just got out but i have been worried about all my debts (plenty of time to think in a hospital bed) Summary 1) I have been with Payplan for 13 years and i have never ever missed apayment. 2) I have paid back £19,206.54 and my remaining debt is £52,233.72 3) My estimated DMP completion date is 28/04/2055 in which i will be 103 years old. 4) Owing to bad health i will not be around that long. 5) Payplan keep pushing me to start an IVA which is bad advice as it is not guaranteed i could keep up with the payments. 6) All debts are from 2005 and are not reported on my credit file also interest was frozen years ago. 7) I have 12 creditors Wescot Credit Services, Cabot, PRA Group Ltd, NCO Europe Ltd, Hoist Finance, Lowell Financial Ltd etc Most of these debts have been resold many times. Hoist Finance have sent me a letter offering a 69% discount on a debt which my son has offered to pay on my behalf. I am thinking about offering full and final payments over the next 5 years if i live that long and if i can gather any money together. I have ZERO assets and live in rented property. I will not declare bankruptcy under any circumstances. Can you offer me any advice which would be very much appreciated I am very worried about this and somewhere along the line i need to try and put money away for my funeral. I am very grateful for your help and thank you for your time.

  5. Hi there i have a letter before action from Gladstones Solicitors regarding a PCN, which happened 16th October 2017 outside a sandwich shop, this was the only parking spot available and i was having dizzy spells and needed to eat. When i came out of the sandwich shop and noticed someone taking pics of my vehicle, i approached them to explain the situation but they simply ignored me. The parking restrictions were not clearly displayed. They have given me 30 days to respond from the date of the letter - 15th November 2018 and the 30 days fall on Saturday 15th December 2018. I would really appreciate some advice on this as a matter of urgency. Thanks in advance, Roland
  6. Name of the Claimant ? Southern Water Services Date of issue – 10/11/2018 33 days was up on 8/12/2018 (3 days ago) only found court letters yesterday. Particulars of Claim The Claimant is a statutory water and sewerage undertaker pursuant to the water Industy Act 1991 (the Act). The Claimant claims the sum of £1700 for unpaid water and/or sewerage charges payable under s.142-144 of the Act and the Claimants Charges Scheme. The unpaid sum of £1600 is for water and/or sewerages services provided to the Defendant(s) at ************ for the period of July 2011 to July 2018.

Claimed amount £1700 Court fee £105 Legal representative costs £80 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? Received 2 letters from shulmans llp - letter before court action, and multiple from UK SEARCH LTD prior to that What is the total value of the claim? £1800 Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Water When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? Been at the property since 2008 Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Think so Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Claiment on court form is Southern water but they insist it's been passed to UK Search/Shulmans Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Letters from uksearch Ltd acting on behalf of southern water. Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?

On benefits can't afford total sum. What was the date of your last payment? Years ago. Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Yes. Made an online application for Southern Waters NewStart Scheme (was ignored). Tried to negiate a payment plan with Southern Water's legal department but they say their is nothing they can do as the debt as been passed on to UK Search Limited.
  7. I took out a money claim to recover money owed. The Defendant hired a Solicitor who sent and acknowledgement and applied for extra time, 28 days, to file a defence, I made no objection to this application and the court never put it in front of a judge for ratifying. However, 28 days later when the date specified by the Solicitor on their sample order had passed, no defence had been filed, so I applied for the judgement to be made by default as no defence has been filed. The Solicitor then called me (4 days past filing date) requesting further information so that they could begin to put together their defence... (BEGIN to??!) and I pointed out that I had already applied for Judgement as they were now out of time (CPR 12.3 (2)a "The Claimant may obtain Judgement by Default where acknowledgement of service has been filed but a defence has not been filed and the time for filing has expired). The Solicitor said that the extra 21 days dont start until they are rubber stamped by a judge. Today I received notification from the Court that the request for judgement has been returned by the judge for referral to a District Judge. So, my question is: Where extra time is requested and not challenged, is it accepted that the extra time is granted by agreement? Or can this defendant solicitor continue to delay filing until they get a rubber stamp agreeing extra time? My reading of the rules that where extra time is agreed 28 days would be given, would apply where no challenge is made to the request for extra time. How do I challenge this and stop them late filing please?
  8. Hello would someone please be able to give me some advice or opinions on my next steps to help me. To cut a long story short i have a small business. I ordered an item to be manufactured for £1600 from another business (i now believe this business to be a sole trader). I paid 50% on order and 50% on completion. All good so far. I collected the manufactured item and took it home and placed in my unit but never opened it. I was speaking with the said manufacturer a couple of weeks later and told them that i was unsure if i had made the correct decision in purchasing it because my customers hadn't seemed that keen. They told me that I could bring the item back and they would sell it to one of their customers for me as they had a backlog on their orders for the item. I took it back and left it with him. After a couple of weeks and trying to contact them via a few different methods i dropped by the factory to see where my item / money was. I was told that the item was at a different property and they would drop it off for me. You guessed it. Nobody showed up and no contact has been made. My thoughts are that the item has been sold and now they haven't got the money to pay me. What can i do next? Small claims court maybe?? The only paperwork i have is the invoice, i never even got a delivery note. I do however have a string of messages stating that i dropped it off etc Thanks in advance
  9. Really hope someone can give me some advice! Took car to garage explained front wipers only working on fast and had done some research online but not sure if problem was the wiper motor or switch? asked to diagnose problem for me. Garage called back next day to inform me they had checked the motor and switch and that the problem was actually the ecu. Advised it would need to be sent away to be fixed £175 and gave me an estimate of £300ish total including labour and car back within a week. Two weeks later after 3 phone calls for update but none given, they inform me that ecu is back and fitted but showed no faults when tested. Mechanic then proceeded to tell me i will need a new wiper motor as he has just looked at it and it was swimming in water!!! Now i understand things are sometimes difficult to identify but surely if he had tested wiper motor properly in the begining we would not have proceeded to even looking ecu??? am i wrong??? what do i do now and what is reasonable to pay? I need car fixed as use it a lot for work but dont trust them now. I only have £500 anymore and will have to scrap plus will lose job!!
  10. I'm posting this on behalf of an elderly gentleman who has absolutely no computer skills. In March he received a Parking fine from Premier Park for 15mins in a local carpark. He swears the machine wasn't working on the day but has no independent witnesses. He spent 15mins looking at the instructions including when he went out of the carpark to see where the nearest phone box was. when he realised it was too far he came back and drove out. I'll attach the correspondence to this post. I helped him draft letters based on forums we'd looked at. Premier Park were useless to say the least. Unfortunately he didn't get his POPLA appeal in in time (i.e. by a few days and although POPLA state appeals might be submitted late, they don't make it easy), and there is a letter attached showing how they were less than useless with this also. We are now at the County Court stage. Is it worth fighting it further or just paying the £235? 1. the claim has been filed in Exeter and the gentleman has a heart condition so cannot travel that far, his nearest court is in Liverpool. he was served on the 3rd. does the 14days mean he can apply to change courts. 2. Is it possible to have the charge reduced? the first time Premier Park even mention checking the machine to see if it works is the their court statement, if he'd known before maybe he might have thought there was an issue with the coin and paid the original £60/£100. He's still adamant it wasn't working. 3. I didn't include the POPLA complaint form as it's the same as the original letter. Thanks in advance Popla complaint redacted 15:6.pdf Popla complaint ADR redacted 18:7.pdf Premier Park Case.pdf
  11. Followed previous advice for others in the same boat. Aos submitted on 30th. I presume ONLY 9 days left to send in defence. 1 Date of the infringement 08/10/17 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 22/11/17 3 Date received Not received as was out of country. Have passport stamp as proof. 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [y/n?] No 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? yes 6 Have you appealed? {y/n?] post up your appeal] no Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up No 7 Who is the parking company? VCS 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] St Marys Gate retails park. Sheffield For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. IPC If you have received any other correspondence, please mention it here DRP,LBC,CC My mother was issued the second PCN on 21st Dec 17 due to non response to the first but received first week of january 18 probably due to holidays. Unfortunately she came across the letter on last date of appeal. Both my parents are elderly and classified as disabled due to their various ailments. The letter stated that she had no right of appeal but can give mitigating circumstances but before the last date. After that received a couple of debt collectors letter, LBC in July and now CC claim as mentioned above. To begin with they had idea where the location of the infraction was. As it is with some elderly people in their 80s some memory loss is inevitable. Im half their age and feel what they do. we finally figured out the area with help of this forum. They don't take the blue badge liberties for granted but in their understanding this parking area was towards a side where there was no signage. My mother requires constant attention as she is prone to falling and my father missed any signage. As per their understanding blue badge holders are given some margin. They also had their grandchildren with them at the time who are a handfull. Unfortunately my mother did suffer a nasty fall and as was incapacitated for quite a while. My father took her back home in taxi instead as the area was closed to other cars. The only witness that can attest to this is my father and probably the GP. As she has had knee and shoulder replacement done she's kept under check. My father retrieved the car according to the ANPR after a stay of 150 mins whereas the time limit was 60 mins. I came across a similar post where I understood that the PCN didn't comply with being served in time. I hope that is the case. As they themselves have stated the exact dates on the PCN. The second PCN seemed as if they wanted it to reach the very last date so that out of fear one should pay up. I now request all the gurus to guide me in drawing up a suitable defence. I hope I don't let my mother down as i took responsibility to sort it out as to be honest its just not something they could have dealt with given the situation and due to this forum I feel she has a chance. Its also ridiculously expensive for a pensioner. Thank you and hoping for a favourable reply.
  12. I am in desperate need of some advice please. Up until Christmas my debt was in control but over Christmas I split with my husband and things have become hard. Today I received 2 attachment of earnings orders from the council applied to my estranged husband. This is going to cause me a whole load of issues with him and none pleasant. Can I appeal this or even have this attached to my earnings. He gets paid in 3 weeks so I don't have long to sort this out. I am petrified as the relationship ended on bad terms.
  13. Hi All In brief my son bought a car 3 weeks ago and applied for the log book (he had the green slip). Whilst parked outside our house it got clamped because of a parking fine the previous owner had incurred. Despite my son having the log book back and in his name the bailiff is yet to remove the clamp claiming that the system his end has not been updated. DVLA have advised we call the police but I know they won't be interested. The car is obviously illegally clamped but where would we stand if we removed it? Thanks in advance
  14. Sorry for the short notice and need for help, a family medical emergency kept me away from and I've arrived back to a letter from Worthing County Court. The court have issued a Notice of Issue of Warrant of Control over a debt with Creditor of Cabot Financial. After total panic I've done some searching through my papers and the following is as brief an account as I can give of what I think has happened. Several years ago we had financial troubles and got a credit card (Vanquis) which gradually crept up and up with them constantly increasing the credit limit. It ended up at about £3400. When our problems spiralled I buried my head in the sand and didn't pay. Move forward a few years, not over 6, I and others were being bullied by a boss. The stress of this caused me to become extremely ill with stress and depression. It was going through the Union and looked favourable that I would get helped but events illy my mental health was so bad I just quite the job and the union case just to put an end to it. During this time I am ashamed to admit I pretty much became a recluse and stopped functioning. I suspect at some point around then Vanquis sold the debt to Cabot, who got a CCJ. There is probably paperwork, I don't have any to hand and I didn't go to court. With sheer force of will, I somehow managed to get well again. It's been slow going but in March I was finally able to return to a job part time, money is tight but I'm gradually paying off any debts that happened. But now I am terrified that next week the court will send in bailiffs over this debt which the stigma and stress of, is surely going to send me back into oblivion. It says I can go for a N245 form? I want to do this but need help. I want time to pay back every penny, but it won't be masses of £ at once as I simply can't do it. What can I do?
  15. Hi all I was a virgin media customer for years before someone manages to hack into my connected sipura voip modem device making it dial prem rate numbers and ran up a bill of £8000 in a matter of 3 days somehow bypassing the credit limit on my account. I have sent an email and called vm to try and sort things out to no avail Vm have made us responsible for the bill blaming the third party device and saying I shouldn't have had a third party device on the line? Somehow I think that vm are not telling me everything and that it could be someone inside vm that was the person who made the calls how was my credit limit bypassed?...
  16. Cutting a very long story short. Applying for ESA first time in January two letters were enclosed with the ESA50 form requesting a home visit and recording for a ESA F2F assessment. Received Maximus letter for ESA f2f assessment at beginning of April at one of their medical centres. Rang Maximus and told them there was no letter from them to give the reasons why a home visit was not granted. Was told by Maximus the DWP Decision Maker has disallowed the home visit. Rang DWP and told them Maximus said the DM has refused a home visit and and asked the reasons why. Was told by the DWP staff that is was wrong the DWP's DM do not make any decision with regards to home visit nor get involve with F2F assessment that is the job of Maximus their medical contractor. Went back to Maximus and told them what DWP said the appointment was cancelled. Received couple of phone calls from Maximus requesting a letter from the GP to back up the home visit request. GP faxed letter to Maximus stating cannot attend a f2f at a centre due to medical/clinical reasons. Maximus confirmed by phone that they have received the GP supporting letter at the beginning of May 2018 and was told they will send a letter of their decision about the home visit by four different staff. Received several letters to attend appointments at different dates from Maximus including a phone call to ring them very important and very urgently with regards to a f2f at their centre which was to take place some 3 weeks later strange. Each time received a phone call two days before the appointments due date to cancel appointments because their recording machine is broken and that it will take a very long time before hearing from them. Received another letter last week to attend yet another appointment at their centre at the beginning of July but still received no letter with regards to the home visit whether it has been granted or refused. Non of the cancellation letters stating appointments was cancelled because of broken recording machines it just said appointment rescheduled sorry for the inconvenience. Maximus has on record they've book for a Taxi as their making reasonable adjustment but send no letter stating that fact. New appointment letter had not stated a Taxi has been booked for the appointment it just said please attend 10 minutes before the appointment time. I'm looking for a template letter with regards to disability discrimination and harassment from Maximus/contractor and a sample letter under the equality act 2010 requesting a home visit with regards to Maximus making reasonable adjustments for a f2f assessment under the equality act. Any help will be appreciated.
  17. Hello, I am a new user here, writing to get advice on a Paypal Dispute of £700 This is how it went to westcot DCA (timeline); 1. It starts with me sending an iPhone to someone via Paypal. 2. I take out the money (£700) in the bank after i receive it and remove bank/card from Paypal 3. after 2 weeks he claims on PayPal that nothing has been received. 3. i didn't track hold of parcel receipts, so dispute case is LOST. 4. Paypal A/C Negative balance £700, received email from PAYPAL to pay in the amount 5. Since i have removed bank and card from paypal, they are unable to charge me. 6. I close the Paypal Account which is prob a wrong move ( it has my phone no. and address) 7. Start to receive phones from Paypal calls, which i have ignored for 2 weeks 8. Recently i received a call and letter from Westcot asking me to call back. 9. An Address verification letter received by Westcot asking to call back and tell if its Address is correct or not. They haven't mentioned the debt amount but I assume it to be much more than £700 now because of the legal expense of Westcott. I have not spoken to westcot as i read in other forums to not speak to them. I am scared as i am on a student visa here in UK and aim to work later on in the UK with work visa. Q. what do you think about Westcot taking action for £700 debt. (court or police) Q. What should i do actually do? I live in a private student accommodation (8 buildings and 1500 flats) and will change it after 3 months.. Q. Whats the worse westcot or paypal can do? Or should i just pay them back and consider my loss. Q Can it affect any future visa / gov. related track record of me? Please HELP!
  18. Hi, I have received a letter from DCBL which states: "Your overdue amount of £269.48 due to Excel parking services ltd in relation to a county court judgement number xxxxxx has now been passed to DCBL to recover the debt on their behalf" It also mentions a further £75 + vat charge. I have searched lots of forums and the advice has been consistent to ignore all letters from Excel parking or any debt recovery firms. i am concerned this letter mentions CCJ number which suggests a CCJ has been issued. I dont recall receiving any court letters, although i have changed address. Normally, I would ignore these letters as per the advice on the various forums but im worried if a CCJ has really been issued and what I should in this case? Should i respond to DCBL? Should i contact the court (and if so, which court would i need to contact as i have not had any details)? Or should i continue to ignore? Please help as i am really stressed out now Many thanks in advance for any advice/help. Cheers
  19. Any legal guys here need help In January I needed to be fitted with a pacemaker. My surgeon told me that I must inform the DVLA but to also tell them that I had fully recovered due to the procedure and me bionic heart. Soon after I told them by phone and they said I would get a questionnaire to fill in. The facts ----- Due to the questionnaire not being returned in time my driving license has been revoked. Following a telephone call today I was informed that My license will not be reinstated even though they have the said questionnaire in their possession. I have informed them that it will cause severe hardship and distress to me as a registered disabled person who needs a vehicle at all times. Even asking them what I should do they said to go to the post office and apply for a driving license. I told them that I couldn't because I am on my own and can't get there because of my disability. Not their problem basically! They did not get the questionnaire in time but can't tell me what law/guidelines they have in place and what grounds there are to have the license reinstated even temporarily until the whole thing is investigated. It is actually a paper exercise for their records because when I rang them the medical condition did not exist. You can legally drive with a pacemaker all you have to do is inform the DVLA. I also asked them how they can impose a punishment as harsh as revoking a license of a disabled person who is deemed fit to drive and why they can't come to a compromise now that they have the questionnaire. They told me that the time limit is 14 days from the date they send me the letter and I told them that I got the letter today dated 16/03/2018 informing me that it had been revoked?? I asked them how they could impose a time limit on something that they cannot prove I got never mind got late like the letter i got today? Does anyone know how I can fight this? Can they impose what is deemed a punishment on a time limit that is instigated on a letter that they cannot prove was received by me on time? Common sense would dictate that it be reinstated on a temporary basis now that the information has been received and is, in fact, a paper exercise. I cannot find anything in writing on the net stating when the time limit is imposed? Should it not be sent recorded if there is a punishment attached? Like they have the form but won't do anything because it was late and the letter i got today informing that my license was revoked was dated 16th March hence why I rang them??? PLZ Help
  20. Hello lovely people Let me quickly explain what is my situation like. About a year ago I got fined for littering (75 quids), that fine has risen to the stage of notice of enforcement when I have started to dealing with it. After contacting either collectica and marston (by sending my budget and calling them),a payment plan was refused. Couple of days ago I found final notice saying i need to contact the bailiff on number provided, I did so but just to be told that full payment need to be made today to avoid further charges and visits. When i was at work yesterday bailiffs paid me a visit, leaving a little card "notice of intention to search my premises". At this stage Im clueless what else can be done to stop them, I cant afford to pay this fine (at final notice stage it was 856). Tried to seek help on the phone the best advice i got was to face my bailiff and try to have a chat with him then I have read many threads advising against it. One more thing is that property i live in is not mine, I was a student (recently expelled...) and i live in one of the rooms paying landlord some money to cover the bills. There is no rent agreement whatsoever, I dont have anything valuable but other people living here may have and Im concerned about bailiffs taking their stuff as I do not think that they still got receipts for their stuff.... Thanks for all help in advance.
  21. Hi REGARDING SECTION 8 OF THE BUDGETING LOAN FORM there is some confusion regarding what is needed to be filled in if you are filling it on behalf of someone? can anyone help? it states:- have you filled in this form for someone else? NO (go to part 9) YES please tell us about yourself Please tell us why you are filling in and signing this form for someone else TICK BOX I am sending a letter by the claimant with this form, the letter tells you that they agree to me making the claim for them NOW SIGN THIS FORM IN PART 9 TICKBOX i am their appointee TICKBOX i have power of attorney TICK BOXES FOR NAME ADDRESS AND DATE OF BIRTH The form is made out like the above. My point is that according to the form if i tick the box 'I am sending a letter by the claimant.....' it tells me to go straight to part 9? if i go to part 9 then i assume i DONT tick '-+++I am their appointee' OR i have power of attorney' ? and therefore i DONT put my name or address or date of birth? I'm assuming you only do this if you are either appointee or power of attorney (as i am neither anyway?) i actually DONT want to give my details anyway as i am just helping a friend. finally to confuse matters further on page 9 it states sign here if you are claimant or appointee. Can SOMEONE confirm i DONT have to put my name or address. I just have to provide the letter signed by the person claiming?

Said letter was sent in september 2017 with no reply or conversation with them. but last week with above threat to seize goods or a warrent for my arrest.

  24. I hope someone might be able to help me. I have borderline personality disorder diagnosed 3 years ago after a crisis which led me to being put on ESA without the need for a face to face interview. I am now due a reassessment on 2nd Jan which I have to attend the stress of worrying about it has triggered a deterioration in my mental health I now feel I am on the verge of a crisis. I live on my own and have no real support. Is it worth me phoning Maximus, will they listen? If not can someone advise me please. I have a letter from my Psychologist (who has now left the NHS so I can no longer see her) and my GP is in the process of writing one. I think I messed up my reassessment form as I filled it in on my own whilst in a panic just to get it done and gone as I couldn't deal with thinking about it. I feel fragile vulnerable and sort of out of control.
  25. Hello, I owe service charge backpayment to my management agent for my leasehold property. They took it to county court, then fast tracked to high court without informing me. I only knew when I received a demand for £2100 from the Sheriff's office. I offered to pay in instalments but they said their client wanted full payment, which I could not do. I sent them a copy of my Debt and Mental Health Evidence Form, they said their client rejected it. A Baliff visited my property when I was not in. I submitted an income and expenditure form (both mine and my wife's)to the sheriff's office, which clearly shows a minus. Even so I offered to pay £50 a month. I have now had an email saying they will forward this to their client and if it is rejected I will receive a visit from the Baliff without any prior notice. The amount has risen from £2100 to £3700 in just over 6 weeks, with interest at 41p a day. There is also a charge for a Baliff visit that never happened. I am worried sick. Please, if you can, please advise. I feel due process was not followed regarding the secrecy in taking this to court. I suffer from depression due to my debt issues and this is really affecting me
