In 2008 Barclays were challenged on unlawful charges. Shortly after Barclays terminated the overdraft and the account was closed....apparently banks were known for this behaviour at the time. Although a termination letter was served Barclays never sought payment, nor did they enforce. Barclays sent annual statements until 2019 and the overdraft was registered at the CRA as a "live" account with a status of 6 (the worst status).. The bank decided to write the balance off in 2019 and update the credit file as settled, although the negative data remains. In 2019 the bank was informed that the account was statute barred in 2014 and the negative data should not have been recorded on the credit file between 2014 and 2019 - the bank disagreed. The credit file continues to show the negative data and will not drop off untill 2025. The damage continues as a loan was declined last week. Is it fair to damage an individuals credit status for 17 years?????.... Barclays seem to be in breach of the FCA 6th principle of treating customers fairly, the DPA 1998, and the GDPR.

Yeah so based on what you say, legislation would allow for a claim to housing benefit, your local council may argue/refuse owing to regulation 9, but as long as your sister has another property where she can prove she lives i.e. paying council tax etc, you can prove tenancy is above board and she would evict for none payment of rent and treat you like any other tenant, they should lose at appeal, if it had to go that far. As you are in receipt of PIP then you should be exempt from bedroom tax, but if you only have 1 carer stay over each night, you may only be entitled to the 2 bedroom rate, obvioulsy if you have 2 carers per night, then you should get the 3 bedroom rate as each carer will be entitled to thier own room. Just a thought, are you staying within the same council area, as if you move to another council area, I think you would then have to make a claim to Universal Credit.

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON**
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
