Hi Rebel, Any idea where i can get more info on "hardship" charges ? Kind Regards Gary

Hi Antone We are just in the process of claiming ESA for him , he has been diagnosed with depression and ash-purgers ?

I wanted to add that im not just after what i can get but at the height of my success I paid a lot of tax and employed some 100 people , so i have done my bit.

Hello, Firstly I dont expect or want sympathy for my plight. Cut a long story short i was a very successful business owner that made a lot of money almost overnight...i then discovered drugs, alcohol and prescription drugs and ended up losing the lot and am now penny less with a wife that works 5 hours a week and an 18 yr old son that because of me suffers from depression. I am going into gov funded detox and rehab in 2 weeks time for 4 months to deal with my problem and my depression , i have an outstanding claim for ESA and have not yet had and answer from them. I fully realize this situation is of my own doing and an hour does not go by where I dont regret my stupid actions. Thankfully we do not have a mortgage but are really struggling to pay the bills etc.... I HOPE to get ESA.....will this happen ? If i do get ESA it will not be enough for my family to live on whilst im away for four months in recovery..... is there anything else I or my wife can claim whilst im away ? Many Thanks

The summons is to dertermine who owns the car me or the car supermarket

I did do an HPI check and it came back fine , Im guessing because it was so recently stolen it didnt show up , I also checked all the documents and chassis numbers etc to make sure they all matched. The car was a Discovery 3 worth about 15k . The Police failed to catch the theives. If the law states that the car belongs to Car Supermarket why would Judge summons me ?

Long story short......I bought a car advertised in the Auto Trader , paid for it in cash , got stopped on way home, car stolen....usual story car was purchased from a car supermarket the week before using a cloned credit card . This all happened in November last year. Police didnt catch the thieves and Im £12k down. Today I get a letter from the Solicitors acting for the Police saying they have finished with the car and asking myself and the car supermarkets rep to come to court next week where the judge will decide who owns the car. Obviously being £12 down i would very much like the car , has anyone experience of this type of thing ? How will the judge decide who owns it ? Any answers or tips for attending court woulf be great. Thanks Gary
