I have an on going dispute with The DWP regarding a long outstanding balance on a Social fund loan they say I owe, I don't think I do.

 

This loan dates back to 1998.

 

I have replied to every letter they have sent asking for a statement of payments and a copy of the original loan agreement, to date I have received nothing.

 

Today I received a letter stating that a direct earnings attachment letter had been sent to my employer.

 

I telephoned and again requested proof that I owe this money.

The person I spoke to was very unhelpful and sarcastic to me.

I paid them the money on my CC as I didn't want my employer notified.

 

I do not think I owe this money and they can offer me no concrete proof that I do.

I feel like I'm hitting my head against a wall and getting nowhere.

 

How are they allowed to get away with this.??

 

Can I pursue a claim through small claims court to be reimbursed?

or a section 75 claim against you Credit card company get the money back that way.

 

 

you should of sent them the free sar

get them to PROVE they have the data to back up their claim.

I only paid as I didn't want my employer involved.

 

 

I have asked them several times for this information, there only response was attachment of earnings letter.

 

 

I was previously told by CAB that as the debt was older than 6 years that there only recourse was to deduct from any benefits I claim now or in the future.

 

 

Does anyone know if that is correct?

 

 

this SAR, do I sent it to DWP with £10?

Does this still apply to benefit related debts?

Sorry to ask so many questions,

I really don't know which way to turn.

 

 

I would ideally like to stand before a judge so he or she can make a ruling.

 

 

I really don't see how any judge in their right mind could listen to this case,

look at the evidence or lack of it on their part and not rule in my favour.

 

 

What is this world coming too if a government dept can demand you pay them money for a debt 21 years old with no proof you actually owe it. How can this be right?
