  1. Did she make the offer of payment in writing? I'm not confident that she is in anyway liable to pay for this now, if there was no money left in the estate to pay this then there's no money. Is there a contract for this work? And do you have sight of it?
  2. And if the clown turns up on your doorstep again, laugh and shut the door. Fancy coming round to YOUR home trying to intimidate YOU, who do they think they are.
  3. Block all the calls, and report all of the texts to 7726. Any emails, block and bounce them. Keep a diary of the harassment from the clown outfit icon with a view of reporting them for the offence of harassment, and feasibly malicious communications. No such thing as pre legal blah blah, and pre litigation blah blah, that's just a powerless immature DCA trying to give the impression that they're important and need to be taken seriously making up names for departments that don't exist. Fools.
  4. Hmm, well I see the PP agreement is PP Europe. I'm sure there's some issue with these agreements and us not being part of Europe anymore.
  5. When are you renewing your mortgage? Are they likely to take court action AND win before you renew?
  6. Yep, block their emails. And report any silly text messages to 7726 (SPAM) Ignore, them like they ignored you.
  7. As DX says. STOP payments to step change and kick them to the side of the road, you really really do not need to use any debt management companies. It is incredibly simple to do yourself.
  8. Report the unsolicited spam text to 7726. Do not engage with snotcrawl Whatever they wish to convey can be committed in writing. Absolutely ZERO need for any solicitors, DCA's have no legal powers anyway, as DX says. They are NOT bailiffs, they're just wannabee bullies. Easily seen off and made to scurry off back under the rock from whence they came.
  9. Has anyone successfully argued an MR regarding the above case? I had the first letter saying that everything was staying as it was as they believed that my payments were correct regarding the above case, but to contact them if I thought differently. So I put in an MR which has come back with the same refusal but citing an ESA assessment from 2012, not 100% certain why they are referencing that shambles, and then the actual PIP assessment in 2016, where they say I was ''a little irritable, confrontational and anxious'' but didn't need prompting. I've just read that out loud and have already realised that the 'prompting' doesn't need to be at the time of the event, it can be before. My wife did a course to learn how to manage and assist someone with my disability, I just need to try and obtain the details and send them. But I'm guessing that this is the usual MO for these lot? My assessment isn't until 2027 as I was given a ten year award/prognosis. I'm arguing that the descriptor which I was awarded 2 points for (Mixing with other people) should be 4 points not 2, this would put me in the enhanced daily living bracket. Would like to know if there is anything specific I should quote back at them when I appeal the MR.
  10. Spoke with their CS team, ''Andrew''. I haven't got the energy to fight this at the minute, but he agreed to knock off a tenner and I was happy with that, then the bills will be as they quoted per month going forward. I did get a few freebies thrown in when I took out the agreement as well, Apple + TV, and 6 months free Discovery plus, plus the WiFi is much more stable. Now I can concentrate on other battles, namely my employment tribunal.!
  11. Switched from Plusnet to Voda for BB and LL, they quoted £35 a month which was cheaper than PN, so made the switch. PN are claiming I didn't tell them that I was leaving so want me to pay their monthly fee, no chance. Voda were supposed to inform PN that I was moving over so not my concern. BUT, the first bill comes in at almost double the monthly cost they quoted me, just under £70, and using live chat they say it is because it is a ''pro rata'' charge that I will be refunded at the end of contract? Then another live chat claims it is because they take the monthly fee in advance? If I cancel the DD and pay via standing order the £35 a month that was agreed, then they say they will charge me a £5 late payment fee. Told them that I won't be bullied, and unless they honour what was agreed I will cancel and move back to PN. Of course, the complaints process is lethargic but I have until the 9th before they take payment. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of this ''pro rata'' charge?
  12. Take the 3 points and fine. It will be as much use as indicators on a submarine trying to put forward any mitigating circumstances in court.
  13. Just thinking out loud here......but.... if they are using the cameras to calculate the length of stay, then invoicing you for parking, how do they know if you parked or simply drove around the car park for an hour? I know I'm nit picking, but you would have thought that they would get the terminology right?
  14. VAT receipt??PAH! You've got a bank statement clearly showing payment, that is all you need. Doesn't matter if the VRN was given incorrectly, payment has been made, that trumps everything else.
  15. It's an invoice, NOT a fine. They paid for parking, they have the evidence to back it up, so ECP will be incredibly uneducated to even attempt to put this through the small claims. As for the hire company, who incorrectly call it a fine, if they have charged the cardholder £68, then reclaim that using the chargeback rules, and send them the evidence that parking was paid for. (A copy of it) If they continue to whine on, then exhaust their complaints procedure.
  16. Agreed, your GP is correct. You can self certify the first seven days sick. https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave
  17. Just move out then. What could be worse than a DD chasing you for payment? If it doesn't sit right then get some legal advice first before making a decision. You've only a few months of your tenancy left anyway.
  18. I would strongly advise against doing any such "social media" campaign against your LL.
  19. You can't be forced to move out, and you won't be able to change the tenancy agreement to terminate it earlier just because the landlord is in the nick. The agency will be managing the tenancy on behalf of the LL. A lot of the advice is American when you search for it online, I could only find a snip of info on Reddit, but you may be able to find more off https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/landlord-and-tenant-rights-and-responsibilities-in-the-private-rented-sector/landlord-and-tenant-rights-and-responsibilities-in-the-private-rented-sector#tenants-rights-responsibilities-and-advice Alternatively, give the CAB a call, or if you have contents insurance you might be able to give their legal team a call?
  20. Can you fill in the sticky above that Nicky Boy posted then you will get better advice on how to deal with NCP.
  21. Not necessarily, Lowlifes have simply passed it onto Marstons in an attempt to bully and intimidate you into thinking that this statute-barred 'debt' is somehow escalating by using a different named circus outfit. When you ignore them, DCA's will try every underhand and barely legal trick in the book, to intimidate alleged debtors into paying money they don't owe. This includes passing it around to their 'friends' to 'have a go', but does like naughty children, if you continue ignoring their behaviour they get bored and move on to someone else to irritate.
  22. You do nothing, yes they are bailiffs but they are simply acting as a DCA, who are powerless to do anything. Just because Marstons have sent you a text, which you have reported and blocked yes? Does NOT mean that they are acting as bailiffs.
