  1. Reviving a 6 year old thread... Because it is still a valid question. The process is clear, but the question is WHY?? I've just bought a car, it had previously been stolen. Therefore I got no documents. I have submitted the forms and paid the fee. Why can't I tax it? What reason do they have for making honest people wait or even break the law? Nobody would pay tax unless they have to and are honest. IF someone disputes ownership or whatever my taxing the car will make no difference to such a claim. It just doesn't make sense. Why can't the process be dealt with online?
  2. Hello, I have been ill since 1999. I was taken off ESA as being fit for work. After a period I was again diagnosed and my GP said I was unfit. I have been successfully claiming income based ESA for maybe 4 months or so. As I am asked to try to work I managed to find a part time job, minimum wage and 14 hours weekly (its cleaning public toilets). Obviously I notified them and requested permission to do the work. I was led to believe that I could start work and await permission. I am now told that my payment is suspended, and is awaiting a decision maker's decision. My benefits together come to just under £500 a month, my new income would be about £400. 1. Is this the normal process? 2. Are they likely to decline permission? 3. If they do what are my options? I am simply trying to do what I am asked, I cannot manage on less money. Thank you
  3. I didn't provide any service. Nothing ended I had to claim when I ran out of savings. I have no proof, apart from her say so. But why would she allow me to live rent free for 6 years? The math is 12x480 x 6. That's a lot of money to not get.
  4. Thanks. I was hoping that I could ask in advance for more time rather than after the fact. It was concluded hat we were not a couple which had been the central allegation. As best I can tell it was concluded that I lived rent free for 6 years in return for some largely unspecified service rendered. 'assisting with getting planning permission'. Now the authority never put such an argument to me, no one did. So I never got a chance to refute it. Basically the judge said he found no 'credible evidence' of my paying rent. In fact my HB was paid by cheque to me, I gave it to my landlady who put it into my bank account. This account was a 'basic' one its only reason for being was for the rent. So she had the cash card and drew from it as she wished. My Incap was paid by giro, I didn't use the bank. He kept looking for an amount to be drawn = to the rent. The account only allowed £200 in any 24 hours. So that was all she withdrew at any one time.
  5. Thank you to all! I have been trying to get specialist help for months. But CAB simply let me down by chucking it back at me 4 days before my first appeal was due. This last ditch appeal has to be in by 5th November. How am I supposed to get chance to discuss a complex matter and come up with sound reasons? Especially when all I see is my own logic. I don't understand why anyone else doesn't see my point. Earlier in this matter my alleged 'partner' was charged with fraud on the grounds that she provided false information. Her solicitor urged her to plead guilty. I kept saying " but you didn't lie, the document asks a question that isn't what they claim it is." (The document asks for a BUSINESS address, which she gave. They thought the response was her RESIDENTIAL address.) Ten days before her trial the prosecutor read my submission stating this. Suddenly they realise they simply did not read their own document properly. All of them thought it asked a different question. Charges dropped. An observing officer reported seeing something. I later PROVED by photographs it was impossible for him to see. He was called in by the Tribunal and admitted his 'language was misleading, in that it implied something that wasn't true". My first question is, can I ask for more time? I haven't been given a transcript of the hearing which would show the judge admitting to 'getting confused' in his finding of fact there are things that are incorrect. Undisputed items. If he had facts wrong how can his judgement be valid? There were two presenting officers teamed against me. I was told not to argue about the Reg 9 matter. Do I didn't. In the 2nd hearing it became obvious that he was referring to evidence submitted during the 1st.
  6. Thank you all! I did follow one of the links given as was referred to the CLA Civil Legal Advice website. I've completed some info requests and been referred to [a firm of] solicitors in Wales. I just hope that they are all genuine. I do wish to ask if any of you would be willing to provide me with answers to questions I might have. Sort of let me air ideas or thoughts I might have. Although I'm a mental mess these days I wasn't always so. Sometimes the old me shines through. The big thing about this sort of matter is understanding why?
  7. There are none in my area. The nearest specifies people living in that area.
  8. Yes, but where? I can't find anyone. I live in Settle North Yorks, Local solicitors are good with 'farming'. I was told months ago by a CAB advisor that they have a specialist of some sort. "IN fact they rang up the other day looking for work" Now, I can't get them to talk about it. I've been left high and dry. Being saddled with the debt is bad enough, but I've lived a life of principles and this is unjust.
  9. I got a statement of reasons but no 'record of proceedings'. If I ask for one will that give me more time? In the SoR, there were 'findings of fact' which were incorrect. I don't simply mean they believed a different story, these were things not disputed. The Tribunal Judge did state several times that it was confusing. Yes I need to appeal directly, but that wouldn't be any better without 'smart' help.
  10. Thanks, but I understood the regulation. I disagree with it applying in this case. The tenancy was commercial. At the hearings there were two presenting officers and me. I have no experience or expertise. So how can I argue about something I don't understand the rules of? Not just 2 against 1 but the Judge appeared to act against me. He did not help me give my case, he helped them.
  11. Hi, I'm a 60 year old man and have suffered severe depression for the past 14 years. During that time I have been investigated for benefit fraud about 6 times. On each occasion I was found to have done no wrong. During the past two years I have been accused of LTAHAW. Subjected to Crown Court prosecution etc. In January a Tribunal agreed that my landlady and I are not a couple. Reversed an IS decision and stated I was entitled to HB as a 'passported benefit'. The HB appeal was heard at the same time, but at the last minute the council asked that REG 9 be considered. This caused an adjournment and a further hearing. I lost at that hearing. I appealed for leave to appeal to the Upper Tier. This was refused Frankly I don't know the law or how to do this. I'm alone and don't know how to argue the matter or what to say. Losing makes me liable for about £12,000. Can someone help? Or point me at someone who can? My local CAB are overwhelmed by work and daunted by the complexity of the case. Time is running out for me.
  12. So far two neighbours asked to pass on a message to me. am exD and they (neighbours) don't have my number either. The number I am asked to call is the one mentioned. When I called (witholding my number) they said the word Link... wanting to pass on correspondence. Told my neighbours that "an old freind" is trying to contact me. Jack Taylor.. needless to say I don't know him. I have had debts, but currently none. Are you sure it is "Link Financial"? Who do I report them to? Will do so soon as I know who to report them to.
  13. My neighbours are getting calls from these people, "an old friend trying to contact me". They seem to have my address, I don't have any debts (that I know of). Any suggestions as to who they are or who to complain to?
  14. have justhad my RBS visa card withdrawn. This was due to a "general review". When I called the Centre they said "this is not due in any way to the way you have maintained your account with us, you have done nothing wrong in the time you have maintained this account." They go on to say "bank has changed lending criteria as a result of which your facility has been withdrawn". So, my account is in good order but for some undisclosed reason it will now be closed. Maybe this is their way of dealing with those of us who have the audacity to challenge them?
