I am 65 not used to this like you have had years at it, I am sorry if it annoys you that I am constantly stressed, I wish I could overcome my stress but with me looking after elderly parents, 2 disabled children and a disabled nephew after his parents died life is a challenge so apologies for this boring you I will do my best to help myself instead of annoying you, I realise I should not expect empathy I just hoped people could appreciate why I easily get stressed.

I want you to see I am trying, though stressed to death by it all it has been going on for well over a year, just want it to end, you any idea what will happen when they video call me to see if I am suitable to act as Litigation Friend as it says 30 minutes allowed for this

Done all what is required right now the Court responded immediately and said the application I put in at Northampton in March 2023 to act as Litigation Friend was sent over for the Judge to consider on the 2nd April no idea why this was requested again. I explained all about the letters only arriving today. I have papers that the GP filled in concerning my son being Severely Mentally Impaired that was sent to the Council to exempt him from paying Council Tax the adviser at Court said this would probably be acceptable as I explained it is so hard to get a GP appointment and they would charge for this letter. The Court said they would let me know asap whether things have been accepted by the Court

I have been looking how to do this but no idea how to do it Photographed them on my mobile they are in photos but can`t send them tried to do it as a pm mail to Admin but that as failed too, no idea how a photo can be I am at the end of my tether surely the Courts would not keep me on hold for nearly 2 and half hours, I don`t know what to do next. I have never known anything so stressful cannot believe a hearing as to be done via the internet then a Court case too it is all getting too much for me, Court have just answered my call after 2 hours 35 minutes told me to email Court and tell them I have only just received these letters. I assume the Formal Application means the Litigation Friend form I sent to Northampton I can resent that to Chesterfield other than that I do not know what a formal application is, it was difficult asking for advice once my call was answered as it was a lady whose English was quite poor she did not understand what I was saying.

A letter from Court arrived today dated 21st March stating if I want to be Litigation Friend I have to make a formal application to the Court whatever this means? And must also get a written report from a GP or Psychiatrist setting out whether on the balance of probabilities the defendant currently lacks capacity within the meaning of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 to conduct these proceedings. A 2nd letter states there will be a Preliminary hearing on the 25th June via CVP which 30 minutes is allocated where directions will be give about me being suitable as Litigation Friend. I have now been on hold to the Court for 2 hours and 9 minutes and just getting "Sorry to keep you waiting"

Thank you for easing my worries it is making me feel less stressed knowing the help I can receive

Aah thank for putting me in the know lookinforinfo much appreciated wouldn`t it be great if they decided against going to Court but they have been relentless so it is anyone`s guess

Received paper work from Bank months ago stating why the charge stood if that is a witness statement and I might have filled one in would have to look tomorrow as been ill in bed today, I do not work and neither does my son

I sent two letters that came from the Court yesterday to DX100uk email, the case as been transferred to Chesterfield, I only got my laptop back today and I couldn`t get hold of CAG web site on my phone. I will contact the Court tomorrow to ask to represent my Son what happens now please.

I sent the Litigant Friend off to Northampton but never got a response should this be stamped to be accepted?

Thank you for going out your way to assist I suppose it is just a case of waiting for directions now

I responded to the Court over the 9th November letter from them telling them reason we had not responded to it before was because we had not received anything. They then told us to respond which I did agreeing to mediation but I was advised by CAG I should not have agreed to this so I then refused to do it and let them know. I have no idea how to upload things to you as I have tried previously and you only accept one way of doing it and I have no idea how you do this, hence why I tell you word for word what it says on any letter received.

Thanks for a quick reply, what will I need to do to be allowed to represent my son please

Hi My son has received a Notice of transfer of proceedings dated 23rd January 2024 "To all parties" The small claims mediation team has arranged for your case to be transferred to a hearing centre as they were not able to arrange mediation at this time/or mediation or mediation has been unsuccessful on your claim. The claim has been transferred to the County Court Hearing Centre listed below for allocation. On receipt the file will be referred to a procedural Judge who will allocate the claim to track and give case management directions. Details of the Judges directions will be sent to you in a notice of allocation. If you would like any further information you can contact the local County Court Hearing Centre directly but please await the Judge`s directions. County Court Derby (185) I did ask for our local Court, which is Chesterfield. Derby is a city not close to us and only way we could go is by train which keep striking our local County Court is only 7 miles away. I have asked the Civil National Business Centre twice to receive something so I can represent my son, I have not had any response. My son would not be able to represent himself. My grandson paid the fee will he have to appear as a witness and my sons carer was the driver will they have to be a witness too? Thanks

Thankyou your advice is appreciated
