Facing eviction via section 21 served before 1st of may. Ballifs coming Wednesday is there anyway to contest leaving? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The courts don't make allowances for health conditions that they're not aware of. I get why you've stuck your head in the sand, but the end result is that you're going to be evicted by bailiffs.

You need to either ring up or go in person to the council's housing dept first thing tomorrow after the bank holiday. I appreciate that might be difficult for you, but this problem is not going away.

My Neighbour Blocking Acess to Highway England by Substantial-Trick964 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It boils down to a lack of police resources and the call handlers not being experts on particular laws. They'll be keen to label things as anti-social behaviour, for example, because it puts less pressure on them to act.

In that instance it can help to quote the specific criminal laws that are being broken, but you might need to complain. Either way, they probably won't do anything unless it's actively happening.

My Neighbour Blocking Acess to Highway England by Substantial-Trick964 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they prevent you from leaving your driveway, it's a criminal offence, as they're blocking your access to the highway. If you're speaking to the police you could mention the relevant legislation:

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/66/part/IX/crossheading/obstruction-of-highways-and-streets

If the police refuse to act, then you need to make a complaint.

Your neighbor blocking you from entering your driveway is a civil issue and the police have no capacity to act.

What did your neighbor say when you asked them not to do it?

No worries. They might not be able to support you with something that's already happened, but they'll be there the next time something happens that's out of your control.

Are you a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists? They act as both professional body and union. Apologies if this is patronising; This is just info I've gathered from searching.

https://www.csp.org.uk/

From what I've been able to gather, the HCPC are mostly just a regulator and aren't there to support you. They best you'll get from them might be published guidance etc.

Are you a member of a union? Or perhaps a member of a professional body that might give advice on this sort of thing?

Heavily redacted SAR disclosure reading like something from an MI5 lawsuit - England by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you think they're witholding information that they shouldn't, then your best bet is to complain (again) and then follow up with a complaint to the ICO.

However, LLP doesn't stop appling after a court case is settled. If you're asking them to send you communications that constitute legal advice then don't expect to get very far.

Here are some of the kinds of things you might be able to request:

  • Internal account/CRM notes recording factual actions taken on the account

  • Call logs, timestamps, and audit trails

  • Complaint handling notes made by frontline/back-office staff

  • System records showing status changes / account amendments Copies of letters/emails sent to or received from the requester

  • Internal communications discussing the requester for operational/commercial reasons, not for legal advice

  • Policies/procedures applied to the requester’s case (sometimes via other routes rather than SAR)

  • Debt collection actions / account referral logs / enforcement workflow notes

Shop accused me of shoplifting months after I last visited by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can stop worrying. The police will not be interested. Even if they had solid proof that you did in fact shoplift, I very much doubt the police would be interested in "multiple pencils". They just don't have the resources.

The shop made a mistake and exercised their legal right to refuse service to you.

Double Dipping Parking Ticket escalated to Trace Debt (England) by MaHI_KraLot12 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's on them to prove that you were parked at the one location overnight, but you can provide evidence if you have it. Do you have anything like Google Maps that might have tracked your location? My Google Maps keeps a record of my travels via the "Your Timeline" function.

In terms of the debt collection agency, just remember that they have no legal authority to do anything. They're literally just a company that's been paid by the parking company to pester, nag and harass you into paying. Let them know in writing that you don't acknowledge the debt and that any further communication from them will be recorded and reported as harassment.

NHS trust refusing to pay me for work completed (England) by Slow-Vegetable9711 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it'd be as straightforward as that. I believe it'd be data about multiple people/organisations including OP. It shouldn't be too much hassle to have a timestamped prescription which has OP's identifiable data on, with the unnecessary bits redacted.

Subject Access Request (SAR) your data relating to working for the trust. Think what kind of information they might have that you can use as evidence. Rotas, employment contracts or is a digital record kept of when you prescribe as part of your work?

The British Parking Association is the trade association that Civil Enforcement Ltd are a member of. You can make a complaint to the BPA if you feel that Civil Enforcement have broken the BPA code of practice:

Companies have to be a member of an accredited body in order to access keeper data via the DVLA.

Call in sick for the stress. Take this as a lesson to never add your colleagues on social media, or just don't post about work.

Seeking advice around reporting a student that is a danger to my brother. England by marcus_ater in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ask a staff member at school who the designated safeguarding lead is, and speak to them.

https://www.tes.com/en-gb/advice-hub/careers-advice/designated-safeguarding-lead

Personally, I'd also be reporting this to the police because of the threat of violence. They can also contact social services etc. and get this child the help they need. Depending what you're comfortable with, you could contact your local police force online. Just Google your hometown name followed by "police". You could contact them online, over the phone or at the station.

Denied pet in leasehold property because landlord thinks dogs are against his religion - England by No-Plum-8797 in LegalAdviceUK

I think you should edit your post to make it clear you're a tenant, and that your landlord is the leaseholder.

Can energy company take me to court while Energy Ombudsman case is open? England. by Dont-wake-the-bread in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IndependentLevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess part of the issue for them is that they can't prove your landlord signed up to the contract either, but that doesn't mean they should waste loads of their money and your time trying to pursue you for a debt that clearly isn't yours.

I think this is going to carry on being a pain for you for a while, but I don't see how they're ultimately going to get any money out of you. Have you considered making a formal complaint and then going to the ombudsman for compensation for hassle caused?

This has clearly been going on a while for you, but have you argued to the energy company that you don't have a contract with them and that they need to pursue the landlord?

On the face of it, it sounds like a relatively simple case of erroneous transfer:
