On the part "Claims and Losses, Claims, accidents and unclaimed losses in the past 5 years for all named drivers" there are 5 cases of accident damage listed. 2 of which are over 5 years old, why they are listed who knows but they did happen. The other 3 are dated about 2 years ago, but no vehicle we have owned was

I work for a large company, who have set up a legal department, whose sole role appears to be to prevent workers obtaining rights under EU laws. I phoned their office to question the terms of the contract I was being offered. I was disturbed that the person who was talking to me repeated things I said in a misleading and incorrect manner, I even said to him at one point "who are you talking to? -...

Hi, Nearly 4 months ago I left a company expecting to receive 2 weeks unused holiday allowance payment & also some overtime etc, this was paid (£500) into my bank acct and was spent, as I thought it was mine.

In June 1999 a Judge ordered that a handwriting expert should examine and copy of my late mothers signature against the only known (to me) copy of her signature. A few days later my solicitor, who had not been acting for me after the first hearing in front of a master, unexpectedly gave me copies of my mothers signature he had had all the time and I had never seen. I was not able to get these new...

If a local authority implements a road scheme that is arguably more dangerous than what existed before. Would they be failing in their 'duty of care'. If yes then would legal action be an option now? ( If so what) Or could legal action only be an option after an acident occurred?

Hi, I am being set up for a £5.000 claim from a customer. The claim is a complete load of cobblers - but then I would say that would'd I! :-) I don't want to go into too much detail because the persons involved, ie myself and the claimant and the "claims assessor" could be identified and that would not be a good idea methinks! Anyway lets just say I do a very specialist sort of vehicle...

All posts in a thread I tried to start, appear to have been cancelled, presumably on behalf of Cook & Partners (using their own, or a different trading identity). Can anyone confirm that this, and all nine follow-up responses were cancelled? Is it possible to discover who tried to alter history, or the service provider used? Any idea how and why someone cancelled the entire thread? The...

I'm just helping my deaf uncle through a rather frightening (debt./identity theft/fraud) legal situation after he had the legal aid door slammed in his face by all local solicitors, and had to resort to the local CAB.
