  1. That would be really helpful. Thank you. I will send it out recorded delivery tomorrow. I guess I should write to the CEO for First Plus.
  2. Thank you. I cannot believe this. I have paid the money? Be it the £200 towards the arrears was a few days late. There behaviour is aggressive. I did complain about the mis-selling of the PPI and wondered whether this had anything to do with this.
  3. I am a single parent and a carer of a young person with a severe disability. Because of chronic illness I have been unable to work for a number of years . I have a second mortgage with First Plus which was paid by my PPI insurance. Unfortunately PPI insurance with First Plus is only for the first 5 years of the loan. I got into serious arrears with the loan when the PPI policy expired and First Plus took me to court in May to repossess the property. Fortunately I had surgery in February which corrected by health issues. I had a job to start in June so was able to gain a suspended possession order from the court. The terms of the suspended possession order was that I paid the 600 loan plus 200 per month against the arrears. In June I had to make a 4k payment off the arrears. I had to sell my car to do this. I paid the 4k off the arrears by the due date as per the court order.I did however run into difficulty in July because my new employer does not pay till the 28th and my payment was due on 20th. I therefore paid the 600 on the 20th and the 200 off the arrears a week or so later when I got paid. I have done this for the months of August and September too. To my dismay on Saturday I received a letter from Evershed's the solicitors for First Plus stating they were applying to the court for an eviction date. I tried calling First Plus on Saturday but they refused to talk to me about it as the matter was with their solicitors. I tried calling Eversheds but of course there is nobody there until Monday. I am after being back to work only 3 months in a position to pay on the 20th rather than the 28th when I get paid. I have written to Eversheds and have sent them photos of the receipts to evidence that I have paid all the money I should of. On Saturday I did tell First Plus that I can now pay on 20th by direct debit. First Plus told me that they are unable to set a direct debit for me as the matter was with Eversheds. They also said this in June when I made the same request. I have had to make the payments by cash into Barclays. Can anyone please give me any advice. I could not sleep last night, the stress is enormous. I plan to ask the judge if I can change payment dates to the 28th and if I can pay by direct debit or standing order. I will go to my bank and set up a standing order for the 20th of each month anyhow. I will go to the court tomorrow to ask for an emergency hearing to stop the eviction. Why are First Plus so unreasonable. There behaviour is so aggressive. Just as I thought I was getting my life back on track. Thank you
  4. Thank you. No this is the first time I had seen the baliff or any other baliff in connection to this matter. The baliff who came around did say that he would sieze the Motability vehicle too if I did not pay, something he could legally do. That sent me into panic because I would then be housebound and would not of been able to collect my daughter from her day centre. The day the letter was hand delivered nobody knocked on the door. I am not sure if they can levy without visiting or seeing the goods buy I have no letters from them about this.
  5. Thank for the advice on the chargeback. I am however very worried that if I do that the baliff will come back and start harrassing me or my daughter. My daughter would not cope and would of been hysterically petrified. She gets nervous anyway and needs constant reassurance. If she was exposed to a baliff acting like this she would go into panic mode for weeks on end and I would struggle to cope with her. I was lucky that she was at a day centre when the baliff turned up. Because of her disability she has limited understanding and reasoning with her would be really difficult.
  6. Thanet District Council. I have tried writing to them and they dont even bother to reply. when I called them they said it was out of their hands and was between me and the baliff.
  7. Hi I would be most grateful if I could get some advice regarding baliff action over a parking fine. I am a single parent who has been unable to work for over 2 years due to a chronic illness. I have a daughter with severe learning difficulties whose behaviour can be very challenging. Similar to the situation I had before I received a parking ticket for not displaying blue badges one day when out with her. Sometimes she gets out the car when we park and storms off. I have to chase after her to keep her safe. On this occasion this is waht happened. I did not pay the pcn and the council referred the matter to Equita. I wrote to Equita and sent them a postal order for £20 and offered to pay £20 per month as I was on benefit. I kept receiving letters from Equita but no acknowledgement or response to my offer. I rang the named baliff and left several messages and sent him several text messages which I am sure are still on my mobile. On 15th October, 2012 I received a hand delivered letter from the baliff. It was bizarre because even though I was at home and actually heard the letter drop through the letter box nobody knocked. I then telephoned the baliff that dayto explain to him the situation. He was very reasonable and agreed to put the matter on hold whilst I contacted the council. A month later I started to get more letters from the baliff company and messages on my mobile. I again contacted them and asked if they had received my offer and postal order. They told me that they had got the postal order but refused to acknowledge my offer. They then said that the offer was not acceptable as the fees had now gone up from £80 to £399. I explained I was a vulnerable person and was on benefit and could not afford to pay the £150 per month they were demanding. I queried why on earth the costs were now so high and Equita said they would send me a breakdown of costs. On 19th November, 2012 I received a letter from Equita dated 12th November, 2012. The costs were as follows: Debt 82 Initial letter 11.20 levy/visit fees 96.00 attendence fee 167.00 vat 54.84 On 21st November, 2012 a baliff knocked on my door. I did not know who was at the door so answered the door. He immediately forced the door open and stuck his boot in the door. In doing so the steel wood door hit my toe which was really painful. I felt really scared and frightened and told him I wanted to shut the door to ring his company. I asked him if I could shut the door, he said I could try but he was not removing his boot. I asked him for the telephone number of his company so I could call them. He refused to give it to me. I explained that I was a vulnerable person with a disability and had been long term sick and was on benefit. He refused to acknowledge what I was saying. He said he was not able to accept installments and he would not move his boot from the door until the debt was paid. I called 999, but the police said it was civil matter and they could not assist. In the end I paid the money on a debit card from my fund to pay my daughters carer. I felt frightened and under duress. I asked the baliff for his name, he refused to give it to me. I asked him if he was registered at Northampton county court. He said no. After he left I noticed that my toe was bleeding and very swollen. I telephoned Equita and tried to make a complaint and they said they could only deal with complaints in writing. I emailed them and asked for the baliffs details. I called the balliff again and he told me his surname but refused to tell me his Christian name. Yesterday I received a letter from Equita telling me his details and the surname he gave me was not the surname he gave me. The day after the incident my big toe nail dropped off and the pain has been totally unbearable. I rang the police to make a complaint. The police were supposed to come and see me today but instead rang to say that it was a civil matter as once I had opened my front door the baliff had the right to do whatever he needed to to gain entry. This is so frustrating as I cannot see how forcing a door open that someone is trying to shut with your boot is peaceful. Can anyone tell me how I stand legally. Thank you
  8. Yes, this is right. This was not included in his witness statement. There was no reference to this what so ever.
  9. It would be possible to evidence that this evidence was not available before
  10. Hi Yes, I read his statement, but i did not know he would lie and say what he did. The new evidence would be relevant as it would show that I was in constant contact with staff working on the contract throughout my employment. The reason for failing to transfer me being used is that I did not work on the contract that was transferred so TUPE does not apply. This is totally not true and I worked exclusively on the contract. The itemized phone bill would show my works mobile being used to call only other staff working exclusively too on the contract. I did not have the contact information of the other witnesses until last week. The new 3 witnesses also worked exclusively on the contract and can give evidence to say I did too. The phone bill was given the the respondents solicitors a week before the hearing. I did also sent the respondent's solicitors 4000 emails last September (2010) which also evidences the work I did but they refused to accept them saying they were a week past the date for exchange. These were*not used at the tribunal. The difficulty I have had is that all the data was taken by the liquidators so there is very little for me to use as evidence. The tribunal have not yet made a decision but I know anyone seeing all the phone bills and emails would reach a very different conclusion than they would if they had not.
  11. Hi I wondered whether anyone has had any experience of appealing a tribunal decision as new evidence proves the main witness was lying. I represented myself at a 4 day employment tribunal for unfair dismissal as the company who took over the contract I was working on refused to transfer me under TUPE and sex and disability discrimination. At the hearing the only witness who worked on the contract at the same time as me lied. He said that I hardly ever visited the geographical area to which the contract was operated and that I rarely called him. This witness did not mention this in his statement. Over the weekend I contacted a number of hotel's where I used to stay who can provide me with documentary evidence to prove I did stay regularly in the area. I did have one copy of a works itemized phone bill for only one month which showed that I called the lying witness 31 times in 10 days. I have no doubts that if I was able to get all the phone records this would be representative of every month I was employed. The judge refused to take this into account as he considered it to be late evidence even though I did not know that the work I did was ever being questioned so could not possibly of prepared. The company I worked for ceased to trade after the contract was transferred and went into liquidation over a year after the transfer. I have had difficulties with getting witness statements as I have no contact details of the other staff. I have however recently through Facebook been able to contact 3 staff members who would be able to verify what I said at the tribunal was the truth. If I was able to get new documentary evidence from the liquidator by means of itemized phone bills and new witnesses would I be able to appeal. I cannot believe this witness told so many lies and on things that can easily be proved otherwise. Any advice would be greatly received.

  14. I have been in contact with my MP today and he responded straight away and is going to investigate the case. I have found out that the London Borough of Richmond gave Davies Enforcement Limited a contract just 2 months before they were struck off in December 2008 for failing to submit returns for 4 years. I have written to Richmond today to question why.
