Hi there, im a department manager for a large supermarket chain. Today at 1220 (sunday) i was called into the office and was read out a letter inviting me to disciplinary hearing for monday at 1230 (tomorrow). The reason for this hearing is "my failure to train staff properly resulting in stock loss" - stock was found out of date on the shelf. I have a number of questions im hopeful someone may be able to answer. A point to note i have only been working for this company for 6 months. 1. Is this notice period to short? 2. My own training records are not up to date and as far as i remember no one has ever trained me on the area concerned. 3. i do not question that i have not fully trained the member of staff but member of staff have only been working for 2 weeks, is this long enough to expect them to be fully trained? 4. if formal action id taking can i appeal any of this? thank you in advance alan

I had managed to get the council to put it on hold under i investigate it but i am no further forward. Anyone have a template letter i can send to the council regarding the lateness of the demand 11 years etc.

So if i cant prove if i paid it then i dont have a case?

Ive been told by the bank that I cant prove this so its going to be hard to prove this. This leaves me in a difficult situation. Can they arrest wages even though it was over 11 years ago. I only lived in my flat for 11 months and the council are asking for 1 and a half years and i only lived on my own so a single person discount was given to me at the time.

Im with lloyds tsb. A few years ago i moved banks and new current account but nver actually closed the account. They said that they dont hold info like direct debit mandates etc. Thanks for your advice and i will be using it but what do i say to the council and debt recovery company in the mean time?

Hi there, last week i recieved a summary warrant letter from Stirling park (dept collectors) claiming that i owe £940 from unpaid council tax from 11 years ago. This letter was completely out the blue and the council had never tried to contact me before. I believe that i had paid this and remember setting up a direct debit but i contacted the bank and they told me they only keep records for 6 years. I now cannot prove to the council that i paid this. I contacted the council and they said that there was no record of any payment from me from that address. I have remained in the same council area all my life(north ayrshire) and have paid council tax ever since then from other addresses up to this day and i have also remained on the voters roll etc. What can i do in this situation?

Just a quick note to say that i received a letter back today from interum justitia informing me that they have now closed my account with them. big thank you. regards Alan

Thanks will post this letter today then. Is it best getting recored delivery etc?

As far as i am aware i have not acknowleged the debt appart from 1 phone called where i disputed that i owned any money.

hi there first time post on this forum. im looking for some advice if possible. back in younger days approx 1999. I lived in a flat and had a credit card from capital one with a balance of £323. I left this flat and moved back in with my parents but never told the credit card company. Around 2 years ago i started to recieve letters fromJustitia debt finance ag tellin me that i owed them money etc. I ignored these letters at the beggining as i thought the time limit on this debt had passed. But my wife nagged me to phone which i did, just over a year ago, which in this call i disputed that i owed this money. Every 4 months or so i would receive another letter getting more and more threatening. But today i recive a letter from Debt investigations (UK) limited informing me that i have 72 hours to pay this dept or i will get a visit from a field collections agent. And after that visit i will get a solicitiors letter. Where do i stand on this issue. What should my next move be? i would be very grateful for some advice.
