I have been polite in my contacts but this is what I’ve got back . Shows what she’s like I’m afraid . I’ll just sit and wait . I’m not desperate for money just wanted to make sure they weren’t trying to con me as they have in the past . DWP are dealing with the query. Obviously under under unprecedented pressure due to pandemic. I do not any help thank you. To be honest I’ve had enough she’s now sent me this Nobody else is hassling me. Your solicitor can contact mine you know who it is . Please do not contact me directly again. You have no idea what problems we have here -
Shame I can't leave 1 insult in there.. remove Wally & added as suggested: There could be pedestrian crossings and traffic lights further down the road which may force the motorist to stop. Stray animals in the road, vehicles u-turning, emergency vehicles passing and police directions to stop, punctures, other mechanical problems, accidents etc etc: Thanks again.. -

I would wholeheartedly agree with the fact that involving solicitors will cost more than 1,000 pounds. If she cannot start proceedings on her own as a LIP, then she would need to take a more passive (but, alas, long) approach. -

That is not helpful advice to the OP in my opinion. From what OP has posted about her own situation I doubt the OP is in any position to apply to the High Court herself and a solicitor's cost would likely exceed the £1,000 left to OP in the Will and not necessarily recoverable from the Estate even if successful. And if unsuccessful OP would be left with a legal bill for £'000s. OP might want to reflect on this advice from a specialist law firm before following your suggestion "An application to the court should be seen to be a last resort, and it is essential to try and resolve the issue without court intervention. ... These types of application are difficult, and a court will not remove an executor lightly because they will have respect for the deceased's wishes in appointing them. ...the court is not likely to remove an executor from his office if he has acted rudely or been unfriendly to the beneficiaries, or if he has repeatedly refused to give the beneficiaries information, or if he has been slow on settling the will."

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON at mediation full amount **
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!
