  1. My Father has recently been put through the unpleasantness of being put up for disciplinary... Bare in mind this is a guy who has been working in the banking industry for nigh on 43 years. I do not know the specifics... But here is my issue. A deal he was working on went bad... They took him into the office and suspended him with no reason whatsoever told to leave his laptop and leave. Also he was informed he could not contact a single member of staff in his absence. So he left and made no contact with any staff. A week later he gets a phonecall telling him to turn upto a hearing the next day. He spoke to his solicitor who advised him they would have to send him something in writing first with an outline of the questions he could expect. So he recieves a letter on Saturday telling him to attend a meeting on Monday with an outline of 3-4 questions and to say he can bring a member of staff of the company with him. Nobody else, he can not take a solicitor or another unbiased person. However when he told HR he could not speak to anyone who works for the company they told him to give them the name and they would arrange it. After much cajoling he managed to get the person he wanted there on said date. But neither he nor the person could talk beforehand. Handy. Now the next part the person who he reports too who should have been clearing all these things was also suspended and then he resigned during this period so there is now nobody who can cooberate his story. He attended the meeting today and went through the questions. This is when they started asking other questions. My father flatly stated that he could not answer these questions due to the fact he did not have time to prepare information for them or have the relevant figures with him and did not want to give out the wrong answers, could they reajourn another time and they send him these questions again. They flatly refused and said if he did not answer them this was an admission of guilt on his behalf! He refused to answer them because he did not want to give incorrect details. They then said the meeting will be ajourned for an hour. He went off had a coffee and rang the family, as you do. He then went back in there and they fired him on the spot for gross misconduct. Not only am I absolutely disgusted by this I also feel that they have abused some of the HR/legal practises for this matter. I could be wrong...? My Dad is not a young man (Sorry dad if you read this) and him and my mother are deeply distressed by this whole encounter. As it is something neither has been on the recieving end of before. I was just wondering if what they did was wrong, and something to add it was sped along very quickly because he had only been there 8 Months, and he had a 3 month notice. This stinks of pushing him out the door quickly to stop him getting 12 months of service so he recieved all the rights he deserves... Any ideas would be most welcome and if it is worth appealing against. Thankyou.
  2. Heh thanks I have the letter someone posted earlier. Thanks for all your help and Ill keep you informed, fingers crossed I can learn from this and help someone else out now. I owe you all a beer... Well as soon as I pay this off
  3. Oops, He rang again and I answered, he started trying to talk and I just said stop right there. "Your office rang me earlier and I informed them that I have sent by special delivery a letter requesting my CCA agreement you have 12 days to respond to this" "What is a CCA mr myname" "A CCA is the credit agreement between yourselves and RBS stating whether I do apparently owe this money" "Ok well we can..." "Secondly I have sent you another letter stating you will no longer contact me by means of telephone or you will be breaking various acts ...(realed off most of the letter) ... please remove my numbers from the system and do not contact me again" "Ok mr myname we will do that when and if we get the letter you say you have apparently sent. Are legal team will then liase back with you." "Excellent we are agreed, goodbye Mr Murphy." Put the phone down never felt better.
  4. Hmm I dont want to agrivate them just tell them the facts then hang up, that will annoy them more,
  5. This guy is such an idiot im not even going to say anything just see what threats he has whilst I record it and then say I have sent a letter detailing I want all communication in writing from now on, it has gone special delivery today. Then hang up Will give me some satisfaction back.
  6. Heh guys thanks for the help, they have been playing good cop/bad cop today. With a nice lady ringing me this morning trying to help me which I refused to comment too and told her I was sending the above letters too them, and would send an email as well with the information in today. I then just had a voicemail from the Manager who abused me and hung up on me telling me to ring him. The lady actually stated that they are going against no regulations in asking me to get a loan to pay this back!!! I will ring him now but I have printed off both letters and if he says anything to me I will just real off the relevant information. Ill let you know what he says Thanks for the help again made me feel so much better this morning
  7. Hi, Sorry pretty new to this. I have had a company called Capquest contact me 7 days ago stating I owe money to them from an RBS Account and Loan I had previously. They are threatening to take me to court I rang them last week and got through to someone who stated: 1) They will not accept a monthly payment. Tough. 2) If I do not pay in 3 days the full amount they will send bailiffs to my parents house. 3) I will go to court blackmarking me and my family for 6 years. 4) They will not talk about the matter at all. That was 3 days ago... Rang today and got a helpful lady who said I could pay monthly and to talk to my account manager. The man I spoke to works under him. I rang back to try and arrange something and asked for my account manager. The same man took the phone and said wheres the money. I said I could not get it and he started saying I had been lazy I had not got the relevant legal advice I had not tried to get a loan and that I will go to court and thats the end of it. I emailed him to show I had applied for a loan and he just said because my account is with Natwest I will get rejected and that I had obviously not bothered. He then said that the only thing he could do was send me to court and send the bailiffs round. He then started saying i was being sarcastic after i said the word "perfect" and asked me what i meant by it and why it was perfect that i am going to court i asked to speak to my account manager and he said he was my account managers boss (which he isnt) and then said dont bother ringing again and hung up. Any advice is welcome. Please!
