Just signed up to see if anyone could give me advice on possibility of taking this DCA to court for harassment. This saga is a long one and the DCA and its client have continually ignored what I have had to say and have constantly replied with an incredible amount of non-sensical garble / evasive tactics. I will try to summarise this as shortly as possible - but for anyone willing to read - a brew / sandwich may be needed. Here goes..... I received a service funded via the DCA's client from 2009 - 2011. I should only have been liable to make a contribution towards to the costs, subject to means testing. I know for a fact, that I am not liable for what they have calculated / demanded ( I will go into calculations further below ). The harassment seems to be two pronged and in two parts. Firstly, the client had been unable to work out my liability since 2009 - Oct 2010. On 26/10/2010, it was agreed that a fresh applicaton / calculation would be required subject to a new means testing. On 05/11/2010 + 22/11/2010 the DCA chased me, (for the 1st time ever) demanding money on behalf of their client for amounts that relate to the previous applications incorrect calculations, that had been agreed / instructed to be closed. On 24/11/2010 the client once again worked out an incorrect liability, ( £6024.00 more than the liability requested in their first application which I disputed / disagreed with. ) For reasons yet unknown, from 25/11/2010 the DCA chased me for a different amount, (£466.00 less than their clients calculation / demand, and £5558.00 more than their clients first calculation.) My solicitor and I both appealed to the client, that the whole point of the new application was because we did not agree with the previous amount / calculations, so why are they now working out I owe more? The client caused more confusion and continuously delayed the application by making repeated /ambiguous requests for information, which at times baffled even my solicitor. As well as my solicitor and I appealing to the client, I phoned the DCA in Feb/ Mar 2011 disputing amounts requested. On 02/03/2011 a notice of intention to enforce DCA's version of the contribution order was received. On 24/03/2011, I received via email from my solicitor, a letter from the client requesting repeated/contradicting documents. On 25/03/2011 I sent in all requested documents accompanied by a slightly insulting email directed to both my solicitor and the DCA's client, with regards to their inability to complete this application correctly. I heard nothing from the DCA, their client, or my solicitor, and presumed everyone had accepted the maladministration, and put the matter to bed. On 02/04/2012, I became aware that the DCA had sent a letter to an incorrect address, yet again chasing me for an alleged liability, this time 33% of what the client is insisting I was liable for in 2010/2011. ( On 01/03/2011, my solicitor advised the DCA's client of my change of address details, and the client acknowledged this and put the miscommunication with their DCA to a computer error ) The client insists that the money now being requested in 2012 is according to their calculations made on 24/11/2010, and is correct. They have continously ignored my query, as to why every single letter their DCA sent in 2010 + 2011 was incoherent to their version of events, and to date insist that their contribution worked out on 24/11/2010 is what was instructed / demanded by the DCA. Below is a self-explanatory quote from my email of 20/04/2012 to the DCA explaining the miscalculation. I have since provided the DCA with copies of my statements to show this evidence too. Your client is stating they conducted means assessment on these 2 forms alone, because I did not provide documents that were required/asked for. In statement 4, your client explains their working out of my gross income at £28200.00. Your client has copies of my bank/savings statements prior to their letter dated 31/12/2010. My Current Account balance as of 25/10/2010 (date application received at court) was £1295.10 - your client had statements that covered this date. My Savings Account balance as of 25/10/2010 was £4512.56 - your client had statements that covered this date. Rental income from my flat = £850 per month - potentially/should be £10200.00 per annum. This potentially totalled £16007.66 for the year to 25/10/2010 - 25/10/2011. That is it - that is all the money I had - I have tried and tried to get an explanation as to why they think I have got an income, and why they have worked out my income at £28200.00 when all I could have possibly had in my hands for the year 25/10/2010 - 25/10/2011 is a maximum of £16007.66, and that's before any allowances are taken into consideration. There is no more money coming in from anywhere, except for more loans / support / charity from friends and family. Your client has taken into consideration some allowances, which total up to £9445.68 for the year 25/10/2010-25/10/2011. £16007.66 less allowances of £9445.68 makes a gross income of £6561.98 not £28200.00 - yet neither figure is taking into account loans, credit cards and a considerable amount owed to the managing agents of **my flat address that i rent out** , well in to its thousands. I know I do not owe this money and this is harassment. I know I should report the DCA's client to the relevant ombudsman but am not sure if I should do this before or after suing them in court I know I should report them to OFT and all other relevant bodies, but am not sure if this should be done before or after trying to sue them? My solicitor seems unwilling to report them to the relevant bodies on my behalf, or take them to court. I have asked to them to try and find me a solicitor on my behalf, who will look into this with a view of taking it on as a no win no fee basis - to no avail - any suggestions? I have exhausted the DCA's and their Clients complaint procedure, as both have said they will not look into this dispute any more,and want my proposal for a payment arrangement. My proposal is exactly £NIL, as my solicitor and I both agree i am not liable for any amounts requested. Has anyone experienced similar and succeded in suing a DCA? All thoughts and recommendations appreciated.
