Best of luck DR. The first question I would love to hear answered is what authority a discharged trustee has to hold onto funds which as it stands are nothing to do with them.

Good Luck to both of u, I'm at court next week, looks like a lot more people are standing up for themselves in court instead of allowing them to win easily!

No I don't have representation. I'm going myself. I can't afford representation. I feel I deserve this money so going to court to see if I can win.Will let you know how I get on. Good luck to everyone else.

Good luck Gleith.

So... today could be very interesting.

Good luck to Gleith and duncanrhona - please let us know how you get on.

I have 21 days to get a legal letter written so I can portray my side of things. Then there is going to be a pre proof hearing on the 1st June and a hearing on the 4th July. The sheriff I feel was extremely sympathetic towards me. I just don't know how it is going to go but I'm not giving up.

Well done Gleith it can't be easy for u!! Is it now going to cost you money to get a legal letter? My ppi is only for roughly 1700 so if the judge does the same with me next week
that means more legal fees for the trustee so how much money are my creditors actually going to receive then by the time this process is over!!?

I suppose it will cost me for letter but it something I need to do. I don't qualify for legal aid so will need to represent myself.

I'm glad to hear you were treated sympathetically Gleith.

It's not the first time we've heard that this has happened from people who have attended court to represent themselves.

I've also previously heard the same sentiment directly from a Sheriff that I happen to know through a family connection.

It's possible the appeal on the case that was in the Court of Session may have been decided by 4 July, Gleith, which would clarify the position somewhat. Whether that would be advantageous to you depends on how that decision goes I suppose.

Received my letter from the Sheriff Officers today, which has been sent on to my representatives. I spoke to my representatives today also, and they are confident the court of appeal decision will go their way, which should set a precedent.

Hi folks

I didn't have much luck either, my case has been put back for a month so I can seek legal advice.
There was a lovely lady there from In Court Advice she is going to help me but looks like I need to get a solicitor.

Well done for getting up there duncanrhona, it can't have been easy. Maybe a solicitor might be willing to take it on as a no-win-no-fee arrangement? Or even better, there may be a Legal Assistance Office local to you that can help you for free..

The case goes to the Inner House of court of session on June 9th seemingly

Well I have finally found a solicitor to compile a letter for the court stating my side of things so to speak. Pre proof hearing on 1st June with proof on ,4th July . I'm not giving up
