Response to DLA - Court Threat

from E Scott (eleanor.scott@btinternet.com)
Hi,

Can I clarify a couple of points here? Not wishing to sound pedantic, but...

Hope, you haven't actually received 'legal advice' not to fill in an I&E form, unless a lawyer has told you so. What this site does is offer opinions, and one of them is that you don't have to fill them in as a condition of getting the lender to substantiate its claim against you.

Mr or Ms 'Basher', you have likely seen opinions further down this Q&A board that in certain circumstances repeated, empty, unsubstantiated court threats may well constitute harrassment, under the relatively new harassment law (not the Human Rights Act or the European Convention on Human Rights). Any help researching this would be very welcome.

If anyone requires legal advice, they should go to a legal specialist (normally a solicitor), or at least to a Citizens' Advice Bureau in the first instance. Although you may have to tell them about this site!

All best,
