long ish story grandfather remarried, v happy were together ages they both had same will if they die money left to other partner etc if after one partner dies the other dies within 30 days the estate is to be split between her 3 children and his 3 children. well she died 12 years ago, 6 years ago he decided to remake a will as his deseased wifes children made no effort atal to contact him or play a role in his life, so he left the estate to his 3 children, but did leave 5 grand to one of the children and 3 grand to the other two so atleast hes given them something. now he died few weeks back, low and behold they are all popping out of the woodwork one had even requested copy of the will, now they are saying they are going to contest the will put a cveat on the house and kicked off about letting him be burried in his wifes grave, how cruel and twisted is that!! anyway we know they cannot do that bit and funeral for him to be burried in his wifes grave will go ahead thankfully. any thoughts and opinions on this?

http://m.bbc.com/news/uk-31545417 If the forthcoming Court of Appeal case goes against the Bounty Hunting industry then people should start getting their claims in fast. If the Bounty Hunters are obliged to start refunding all of their victims, then they won't have enough money to do it. The result could be that they start closing themselves down pre-emptively. People should consider issuing small claims for refunds without hanging around too long

I have recently been kicked off ESA by Atos, scoring zero points with mental health issues, I recently seen citizens advice which done the mandatorily reconsideration for me, I should have scored about 30 odd points but none of the questions that citizens advice showed me were asked, the mandatorily reconsideration phoned me the other day asking me questions, I got so stressed I couldn't do it so put the phone down due to my condition, she then phoned a few days ago telling me I still score 0 points I explained I got stressed and couldn't speak but that didn't help so I lost my cool with her and swore, anyhow I got the letter through this morning saying they uphold the original decision, also on the letter says that the Atos medical examiner said I looked fit and well and was well tanned and muscular, it was the middle of August of course I would look tanned I think anyone did the summer we had, I was even crying in front of her due to not seeing my children and my father recently passing away, but she lied and made out I was alert I couldn't even keep eye contact with her, but she said I did, what are you supposed to do go in there with a rope around your neck is it, anyway I'm thinking of appealing what do you guys recommend? i seen my doctor on Monday he give me a sick note for 13 weeks as he agrees I am not fit to work at the moment and said he was not surprised with the decision as they are doing it to everyone. Thank you

Hi - I am not sure where I stand in the matter of my late mother's estate. In her Will it is stated that jewellery is to be distributed to the family, however it is a year later and I have heard nothing further from my sister who is acting as executor. The last I heard was that some of the family had decided to give back items to those who had given them including more distant relatives rather than just the beneficiaries of the Will. In this case several daughters. I am at a loss as to what to say or do with this situation. Any advice most welcome. thanks

Will Capita own the UK soon ?
unclebulgaria67 posted a topic in The Bear Garden – for off-topic chat
Every time I look at a newspaper, it appears that the government have sold something to Capita. The latest is a food safety agency that was actually profitable in government hands. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/capita-and-the-great-british-food-safety-selloff-10134275.html In 20 years time, will the Prime Minister of the UK be the CEO of Capita ? I seriously worry that one political party sees no limit on what they would privatise. There are already private companies that provide laboratory services in regard to food safety. What the government have privatised is the body that looks after safety on behalf of the public. Capita already have commercial partnership with the companies in the food sector and this may lead to a conflict of interest. -
Hi all There seems to be a glitch in the other sub forum i wanted to post in so posting in here I was wondering if anyone has had any success with asking the creditor who issued the CCJ that if i agree to pay will they agree to the set aside. Just a bit of background: (short and sweet) was issued this back in Nov 14, i never received the original claim but received the default CCJ. After some research i understand this cant be a reason to have the CCJ set aside by going down the normal route. I'm still very new as to what to do to be honest many thanks for taking the time to read

Hi all, Im hoping some of you may be able to give me some advice... To cut a really long story short my husband had a 5year lease on a pub. It was his dream and it was doing very well. 2 years ago he became ill and was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he subsequently passed away and i put a manager in the pub to keep it going. I arranged with the brewery to transfer the lease in to my own name and what happened some 12 months later. I have since hit some rocky times with a succession of bad managers and not enough time to focus al my attention on it since i had a job of my own which i needed to carry on in order to support my family. I was never able to draw anything from the pub as it didnt turn enough profit and i have ended up putting 30k of my own money into it to keep it funded. Sadly, i decided to give notice as i could no longer deal with the stress and received no help from the brewery. I have a few months left. In the meantime debts have been building to suppliers, mainly business rates and utilities. The utilities are in the pub name. The rates are in my name at the oub address. I have no money left to pay these at all. The weekly takings just about cover rent to the brewery, and unless that is paid they will jot release a beer order which would lead to obvious problems. I am paying the staff wages and other day to day costs personally where i can but its gettng hard and ive not been paying my own mortgage somtimes just to keep it going. they have recently obtained a liability order for the rates so i know a bailiff visit will be imminent. There are no assets on site that would cover it. What will they do? More worryingly, as i will not have been able to clear it before i leave what happens next? Im worried about them outting a warrent out for my arrest or something and also that i wont know about it as ill no longer have acces to the post that goes to the pub but i dont really want to give them my home add incase they then come there to take everything.... Please could someone advise what will happen and what is my course of action... Thankyou in advance... S

Hi, I was recently involved in a car accident where the women pulled out of her drive and i went into her. Anyway front the start Hastings haven't been to helpful, i have had to do alot of chasing just to get there engineer out! as apparently my details was not sent over to him properly , i also didn't receive a courtesy car even thought iam full comp! Anyway today i have found out its a total loss I have had a friend (mechanic) look at it who thinks it is repairable, and i want to keep the car. I have asked Hastings if i can buy the car back from them, they have said to me this is not a service they offer, and if i wanted my car i either not claim or try and make a deal with the scrap dealer. So my question is how can i go about buying my car back from Hastings, i feel like i have had a nightmare with Hastings and all i want to do is get this settled and get my car. Has anyone else had this issue and how can i resolve it? p.s the car is still in my possession Thanks S.H

Hello, I have 2 current defaults on my credit file (both of which are being appealed). Both are from April 2010, and both debts become SB in August of this year. I am in contact with both debtors with the 3 letter process and nervously awaiting any action they may take before August. My question is regarding the affect these old defaults have. My noddle credit rating still say 1 out of 5 despite the fact I have no other problems and an up to date bank account and mobile phone contract, and on electoral role etc. What would happen after the 6 years, will these defaults disappear off my credit file, or do I have to request to have them removed. Could these 5 year old defaults be the reason my credit rating is so low? Thanks Everyone.

The press are reporting a crackdown on nuisance calls with ever larger fines for the transgressors, such as PPI, onlime marketing etc. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2967040/Will-FINALLY-end-nightmare-nuisance-calls-New-law-make-easier-hit-firms-500-000-fines.html https://www.politicshome.com/home-affairs/articles/story/crackdown-nuisance-calls http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-2865158/Britain-s-one-billion-nuisance-calls-face-crackdown-task-force-warns.html As DCAs engage in constant calls and texts even after being told in writing only, by letter I wonder if they can be snared in this trap, Arrow, Lowell, Muckhall Snotcall are you worried? No I thought not.

Hi, My girlfriend has received a court summons for a speeding fine (36 in a 30) and failure to provide details of the driver. This has gone to court as the previous paperwork had gone to a previous address. We will go guilty to the speeding offence by post so what sort of fine will we receive ? But the failure to provide the driver details we will go as not guilty as we never received the original requests for them, so again we will expect a fine but roughly how much please ? My girlfriend is a low earner and takes home roughly £950 after tax. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, My son purchased a pay and go phone from Vodaphone on black friday (Nov 28th). He had to purchase credit and there was an offer of 2 months subscription to Now TV as part of the deal. The phone was going to be a Christmas gift for his son (my grandson). His wife was also buying things and got the Now TV deal on another purchase so they did not need both. Vodaphone sent a message to say they would activate the credit within a day or two. Obviously this was not much use if the phone was not going to be used until Dec 25th. He decided to cancel under the cooling-off period of distance selling regs and told Vodaphone via their chat option. They would not agree to this, even though it was only a couple of hours later. He phoned them and they still wouldn't budge, they insisted on sending the order out and then making him return it. In addition to this he had also been billed twice. He refused delivery and got the DPD driver to select "item refused as no longer required" on his electronic pad and it went back to the depot. He has confirmation that it was being returned to Vodaphone. Since then there has been no communication from them and no refund. The double payment was sorted out by the credit card company but they say they cannot do a chargeback unless my son can prove he has cancelled the order. We would feel happier if we could give them the cancellation in writing as they seem to be very reluctant to accept it, but cannot find an official e-mail address and the call centre would not give us one either - does anyone know who we need to send this to?

I received a letter last week from Atos telling me that I will need a medical to discuss any entitlement I might be able to claim (fine). It has taken them almost 11 months to tell me that, but to add further delay they say it will be at least a further 26 weeks before I will be called for a medical.

What hapens if a benefactor of a will or share of estate cannot be contacted? Will it pass to their children? My ex husband cut all ties with his mother & family, including his children several years ago. Nobody has been able to find or contact him even to tell him his mother was ill and subsequently died. I understand that he could possibly be a benefactor despite estranging himself from the family but also would like to think that her grandchildren who cared more may have some claim on the estate. Just a long shot.

Hi, I'm not sure where to start with this I suppose first thanks for looking and I appreciate any advice you can offer I will be as brief as I can. When my dad passed 4 days after my step sisters mother landed on my door step demanding 50% of his estate which had been left to me in his will. I of course refused since she was an ex wife of approximately 20 years but my step sister (who dad hadn’t seen for years, but paid CSA till she was 18) said she had grounds to contest his will. My Farther also had an insurance policy for around £20,000. She wanted the lot but I was advised to offer her £15,000 to avoid going to court and she accepted. I was advised that dad’s debts come first so I used the money from the policy to clear some of them leaving a mortgage and few credit cards to pay off. After a lot of messing about getting buildings signed over it was finally late 2013 all buildings where signed over and in December we had the bank onto us saying that they would give us till April 1st 2014 to sort out the money for the house we are living in that my dad mortgaged for us or they would take it back leaving us homeless. We have been unable to secure a high street mortgage to pay the amount owing on the house and now my sister too. We did get the go ahead on bridging finance to cover the cost of the house pay my sister off and clear off my small amount of debt to be able to have a better chance at a High street mortgage to put me back on track. Which we are in the process of finalizing now. My sister (or her legal aid solicitor) has taken me to court for the £15,000 which is the main reason I’m here. The court suggested I apply to stay it. I’m unable to get representation as I really can’t afford it at the moment with everything else on my plate with the completion of the bridging finance close their solicitor has informed me that trying to stay it giving me a bit of extra time is doomed to fail and I should withdraw my request saying loan is imminent I have a stay hearing tomorrow and I have no idea what I’m going to walk into if its just talking to the judge or am I going to end up being bullied by a solicitor? Thanks again in advance for reading. Sorry she didn't contest the will this was a settlement she wanted and this hearing is because she couldn't wait and has applied for a CCJ this hearing tomorrow is to set aside the CCJ

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me. My Mum has very recently passed away suddenly, and I've just come across a copy of her Will, which names her bank as her executor. She wasn't wealthy, with somewhere in the region of £20k in savings. Having just read through the information she had kept on the Will, it appears that the bank are going to make quite exhorbitant charges to act as Executor; minimum charges, plus fees for every bill they sort out, and more fees to transfer the residue of monies to beneficiaries, etc. I am 100% certain that mum would not have understood quite how much of her meagre amount was going to be taken in charges. By my calculations, once her bills are paid, and the funeral costs are taken care off, there MAY be just enough to pay the minimum charges of the Bank! My question is, can the appointment of Executor be challenged? And if so, how? Thanking you in advance for your help.

I bought a bathroom tap from Amazon marketplace and received the item a week later. I immediately noted the item had dents on the chrome finish, as if it was dropped or impacted by a metal object. I also realised the seller was based in Germany. I wrote to the seller and sent photos, all communications going through Amazon. The seller was fairly slow and replied with single line emails every time. They initially offered a small amount £10 refund but I clearly explained that I wanted a replacement. Again no reply for a couple of days, they said "if you don't like the tap, then send it back and we will refund it". I gave the seller every opportunity to correct this, to me they appeared lazy and unwilling to cooperate. Then I raised the question of who will bear the shipping cost and where to return the item. The seller provided no return address to the UK and the only address was on their package for "Germany". Soon after and given the seller was being difficult to communicate, I contacted Amazon UK support to complain and raise the matter. They agreed to bear the return shipping cost and so I sent the item back to Germany with registered international post. For the record, the item cost was £60 and postage to return was £45. It may seem ludicrous but that was the minimum traceable package cost and that is exactly why I made prior agreement with Amazon. I posted a scan of the receipt with the cost through the very same email communication,and waited for a refund. A couple of days later I received a call from Ireland from a guy working for Amazon support (perhaps senior?) apologising for the inconvenience and confirming that the seller will refund the item and will pay the return shipping as well, as they should have provided a return address in the UK. Most importantly, that same guy put all of this in writing and confirmed by email! (Yes I still have it!) The item arrived at the seller three days later, who although having the reference code, delayed the refund of the item for five days until I requested it again. The shipping cost was NOT refunded. The seller is impossible to communicate with, they don't speak good English and give lazy responses. They do not even acknowledge the shipping cost. I have now been chasing Amazon UK for over a month with emails, which are being ignored. Also made several complaint phone calls to their support team which are always met with a confirmation the matter will be resolved, but nothing seems to happen. We are going around circles or they are mocking me. My understanding is that under Amazon's policy I have followed every step correctly to return the item and either they or the seller should refund the shipping cost for an item that was damaged to description. It is clear to me that under distance sales (now Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013) and even Amazon's own policy the shipping cost must be refunded. I have been shopping with Amazon UK for over 10 years and I have never had such a terrible treatment. Perhaps an article to the Guardian or a letter to Trading Standards will refresh their memory of their obligations to the consumer? Or action in court?
