Spot on
Still not sure i'm doing response correct.
Hi 2jays?
Spot on, its HCC we owe monies to, but the debt was only up to £8k with the Local Authority, and care home (QC) £739.48 and not £32k. Total £8,739.48.
But HCC (who are totally and utterly useless council and
who have let me down at every single point with my parents care) say dad didnt sign the deferred care loan agreement, but the HCC 'b's' didnt send defered loan agreement forms out.
So HCC have passed incorrect debt over to care home to chase (as care home have much more clout and a huge organisation, though whose care isnt great). So instead of owing local autority £8,739.48, wretched care home compay who i am not allowed to sight QC have come after me for £32k.
The fact that they have passed on the debt to Q.C (how frustrating is this that i cant even name the care home provider, whose care really isnt that brilliant) so they can deal with me, (given they are a huge organisation with all their monies) for the £32k, instead of HCC, in case deleted Local Authority.
I have tried to speak to Q.Care, but all they've done is send back a really badly worded emails (wonder if they actually went to school) saying pay or else. If they didnt have mum would go hell for leather or bish them on their noses, but they do have mum and despite the fact that their care leads a lot to be desired, at least mum is safe.
Still not prepared to back down, but oh so tiring!
Someone must have paid the care home. They don't let £32,000 accumulate without moaning. If it wasn't you, it must have been social services so the money would be owed to them, wouldn't it? Or are they saying as no signed deferred payment agreement can be found, they are suddenly classing your dad as self-funding, and the private rate is four times as high? Even though, where is their contribution? Why are they saying you owe nothing to them?
I agree, get legal advice. If your dad was not self-funding, which should be provable, then it stands to reason that you only owe the council their rate for the home.
