solicitors

I sort of agree, but the cab phoned a solicitor, and she said that by signing, I am inviting them to sue me, which they can do IF I invite them. I know it doesn't sound that way on the letter.. but thats what cabs solicitor said..

If I knew Mr X was just gonna get insurance's money, no prob.. but to admit liability myself, and run the risk of losing my house say thru a small error like inviting them to sue me, then no. I will box clever.

dont blame you mate,be carefull

[barrowmanandrew]

dont think they can claim money from you, should ask c.a.b.

[xant14]

mmm... could this be whats going on here??? mr x's legal team are having no luck in tracing anyone from your old company. Are trying to get compensation from old companies insurers, by you admitting liability for the accident. the "lady" in your second letter is trying to get permission from you to act on your behalf. if she has this , then when mr x (injured party) takes you to court, then your ladyfriend can say you accept all liability accident was 100 per cent your fault, then the insurers will pay out...

I am thinking that way myself Barrowman.. As I say, I dont mind mr X getting the money, but I will not put myself at risk. And if she was doing it this way, underhand.. then she will get ~~~~ all info from me for trying to treat me like a simpleton.....

And to back up thinking I am a simpleton, she actually said on the phone
'I am sure we will have no reason to meet, although, it would be a pleasaure... for me at least'. In a smouldering sexy accent... And I kid you not about that bit.

,stuck up coww.... if in doubt m8, DENIE ~~~~in everthin.......

The CAB are draughting (drafting?) up a letter as we speak, for me to write, and to get her to clarify one or two points before, or if I do sign. The thing with letters id they are better evidence than a fone call from a devious woman.
And we know how devious women can be.... Hope dreamer aint reading this bit.

[cloudnineuk54]

also if they cannot find any other person who actually witnessed this accident,and you do not accept your invite,case is closed

[barrowmanandrew]

let me make a prediction, if you dont sign and return letter you will get another letter from your lady friend stating something along the lines this "dear xxx i do not appear to have received permission to act on your behalf. please return the following slip asap, or i will no longer be able to represent you. this could lead to yourself being left open to legal action and personal loss. " (obviously better written using big, scary words) on order to get you to comply.....

[xant14]

There should be lots of witness account. I was in and out of investigational interviews for 2 weeks following this. Right up to HMRI level.
I admit freely that I was partially to blame, I was operating the machine..but,
so was Mr X for not being in a safe place,
so was the machine controller for not keeping people out of the operating zone,
so was the supervisor, for being a supervisor basically.

But, Altho I have never seen and reports on this case, I was re-instated at work two weeks after the event. And then 2 months later even employed by the same company Mr X works for.
To put it bluntly, I don't think I was fully responsible.

I agree... As I said.. I am a paranoid skeptic.
But my point is, No where does she say she is working FOR my Insurers... Never even mentions their name.
And I doubt she has taken it upon herself to represent me out of the goodness of her heart.

both lawers are probably from same firm. tell them ~~~~ all, scamming bsterds

Once CAB have sorted the letter out for you & you're ready to send it to the Snake with Tits, remember one thing....DON'T SIGN THE LETTER YOU SEND.

I wouldn't even put my name at the bottom of the page. Collection agencies trying to claim defaulted credit 'on behalf of' banks & credit companies have a nasty trick.
You dispute owing the money & request a copy of the credit agreement under section 70 whatever of the consumer credit act. The company will scan your signature from your letter & paste it onto a credit agreement. The courts don't give a ~~~~ if you try to claim fraudulent documentation, in their eyes you signed it.

So be careful.

Just been busy at work so no DK, but just about so say this as well.

IF YOU at all put your name on the bottom of the letter just slighly
'change' your name so if you get any more letters you can tell the source

EG you 'normally' sign letters and cheques

"Mr Xant14"

Just put on the bottom of the letter
"Xant4" - miss out or add your middle inital.


OFF TOPIC:

We got caught out by this at work:

Phone rings,
"cheap electricity sir"
"no thanks we have a link across the meter thanks"
"You get a FREE green airfreshner and a pritty bird with big tits to
read the meter"
"OH ok"
"Do you agree to our terms of electrity and a bird with big tits to read the meter?"
"susspose so"
"Good another punter in our web of deception, you have 7 days
to cancell, oh it takes up 6 days to post out the letters, that ok?"
"bird with big tits, yeah ok"

Turns out this is a genuine legaly binding contract, so as soon as we
got the paper work we read it and turns out this was the meter reader
was second bird in this posting CAUTION ADULT IMAGE http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...tml#post590080 CAUTION ADULT IMAGE

So we went to the post office (TM) and posted back the cancelation form with some laxative chocolates.

Xant, First of all stop worrying. Then, as I said earlier that their letters to you have copies so their phone calls to you are also recorded. The Insurance companies for you and the injured man are liable still as they were covering both of you at the time. The first thing the insurers do is to find fault somewhere as they are in the risk business of collecting premiums and doing their legal best not to part with any of it. While the CAB solicitor will do his best for you with the letter I would have one terribly long read of it before deciding what to do with it and would too have my name typed at the bottom rather than the signature as mentioned in a previous post. Yes, as you say, the guy deserves money but you didnt intentionally set out to injure him. It was an accident but as I already said, the insurers want a scapegoat. Be careful Xant.

[dctyper]

i would tell this solicitor to go swival

[xant14]

once again, some cracking advice.
@ Meathead, yeah good tip that about spelling the name wrong, I do it actually and it funny some of the mail that gets addressed to Mr Roberti, Mr Roberto, Mr Robertu etc.

The letter drafted by the CAB :

Dear Mrs Solicitor

I refer to letter dated 19th April 2010.
as you know I have taken advice from CAB My Home Town,who have taken legal advice on my behalf, and I now feel able to respond to your request.

In responding I have been asked to make the following clear to you:

1. That there is an alternative to your request and that is for you to apply to have MY OLD RAIL CO LTD reinstated on the Companies Register so that proceedings can be instigated against them.
2. Any judgement in relation to this accident must be against MY OLD RAIL CO and not against me personally.
3. If unavoidable, I am prepared to consider XXXX Solicitors LLP acting on my behalf as a witness to the accident in question, not as defendant.

I hope this response is helpful in getting the matter resolved

Your Sincerely

Rob


I suppose I will send it off tomorrow, and await the response.
