Cathy S Tried To Dupe Me Into Signing Away My Home!

Post Reply New Topic

Yup. I saw her in her office last Monday and she got me to write on a scrap bit of paper that I agreed to end my lease with my flat (the one I lived in for over 3 years, but cannot access right now due to the court matters). My mother says that is not legal and therefore not an official declaration.

I'm quite high on the list for an advocate and my court stuff is (hopefully) going to be over on 26 March. I bloody hope so. How can they drag it on and on?

Anyway, she doesn't want me going back and would have rather evicted me, I guess. I don't know. What I do know is that whole company minus a few people, just wants short of me. I also showed Cathy several posts from forums. These were printed and mailed out to her before I saw her. In one of the posts, somebody said I needed to insist on getting my property back right away, so I reckon I was duped. She also recommended I go live in the Scottish Borders. I'm not kidding.

I emailed her saying I don't want to leave my flat. Here is what she replied with, but read what I sent to her first.

No. I mean about going back to living there once this court malarkey is 100% over with. I never wanted to move out in the first place. It is just that this damn "conspiracy" with me being banned from working with them has ruined my life. I never meant Sara and Joanna any harm. You all need to get over yourselves now. I'm being made out to be something I ain't. None of it is fair on me.

Her response.

Hi,

I agree with your decision to relinquish your tenancy. I’ve accepted this with immediate effect and this will stop any debt accumulating.

I do appreciate how difficult this situation is on you and I’m hoping that a plan can be agreed when you have a social worker allocated to you. I have been informed that this is will be on the 23rd March.

My follow up response.

You're not listening to me, are you? I don't want to give up my flat. It's a good flat with support and this is all wrongful. If you had never been a fanny about Sara and Joanna last year, I'd never have went on a crusade, if you want to call it that. We could have rebuilt our once fine bond and all the subsequent antics, police intervention and law stuff made them turn against me even further, but I believe it could have been prevented had we all gotten back on the same page. Now we aren't even in the same darn library. On top of that, the seniors haven't even done their jobs properly. What is a senior? Is that just some fancy title, like a badge of honor? Well, thanks to them not notifying the council, it could very well mean I cannot go back there, if they refuse to pay up.

"Oh dear" is right. Eh?

You basically deceived me into taken my support again after I quit it. You said to me last year in April, that I would not get them back for the time-being and I felt I needed that second chance to do better, but I wanted them to be involved in order for it to feel genuine. But I guess they've shown they could not care less about me as a person. If they don't give a crap about me and my mental health any more, they have no business being labelled as support workers because they need to put themselves in my shoes for once, rather than act like they're victims of stalking. What they subjected me to was brutal and vicious. They may as well be fake. Granted, I made mistakes too, but it overwhelmed me and it still does. I honestly think you're enjoying this. You'd rather I breached my bail terms so I went back to Saughton and then you and the other morons, would cease to care about dealing with me. You just want short of me. You've identified that I am obsessed with them, which is why you won't let me work with them. But I don't think it is fair, especially after it progressively ruined my life. I've been left to pick up the fragments of a broken heart. Yes, screw that.

You lied, as you then decided not to reinstate them. It hurt me knowing you would not change your mind and alter the decision. That is why I now have a Santa Claus worthy list of unnecessary CRIMINAL CHARGES and I face being sent to the flipping jail soon. Really, it all started with your scumbag seniors lying to me. If I started up my support again, how do I know it would not reoccur?

The seniors were told last year to let the council know I was just bailed to an alternate address. They never contacted the council, so now Cathy is due over £5000 rent in counting.

I guess you only listen to people when it suits you

What is that supposed to mean?

She just wants rid of me. They all do. They know my court matter will be over soon. They sent a senior to my last two hearings just to be fishy. They don't give a crap about me.

And why should they? You were stalking the staff.

You've got to go beyond this phase in your life.

Make a clean slate for yourself, man.

It ain't worth it.

The Borderlands are nice (I hope it's not a place where people get exiled to in Scotland). I passed by them on the train to Edinburgh once.

Just south of the Bordelands is Newcastle, home of the Animals!

Dude, how many months have I been bitching on Wrong Planet about returning to my flat after this crap is over with? I've been looking forward to that for an eternity and now that it is nearly time to get things sorted, she does this dirty trick on me, that no good cow.

Can you elaborate more on this 'flat' is it a group home or something? Or is it a part of the support team somehow? I'm assuming it's in violation of a restraining order, that's why you can't return?

I think it's a flat where he mostly lived independently--but he had some support. I think the local Council paid most or all of his rent. He probably gets "disability" payments every month.

I think his "support workers" were within what would be called "day treatment" in the US. This is where people who have challenges gather and socialize, and receive services from social workers.

Maybe I'm wrong, though.

Yes, that is pretty much a summary of what it is. I lived by myself in the second flat next to the office (flat 1) and there are workers and seniors in there most of the day, and someone does a sleepover at night. There is a 3A because they took part of the wall away and put a door there. That is the only flat that is shared by two guys.

I was supposed to only be bailed to live with my parents during this "charade" of a court matter. That means it is / was still my flat, but I could not access it per my legal instructions. But now Cathy has duped me into signing away my lease, to which point I reiterated in numerous emails that getting me to write it on a scrap piece of paper is not an official agreement.

At night time between 8 and 11, you can go through and have a chat in the kitchen. You can use a computer in the office, but then everyone else has to be in the computer room too due to confidentiality reasons. They have spare keys to access the flats, but that is just for emergency reasons. However, when they've called the pigs before, they've accessed my flat without me knowing they were coming.

Are there any other places like that in Edinburgh where you could go?

Yes, there are probably similar developments. Autism Initiatives are growing, but they are not the only agency around. But I could argue that they had everything I required. My sister was telling me today that the social department can house people quickly if they have a scheme like that going on, but I don't think you want to mix with anything arranged through social workers. They are not the same as support workers, so please don't get them confused.

It seems an awful coincidence how I mailed out posts from message boards to Cathy that I printed off days before I actually seen her in person, then suddenly she wants me to give up my flat just like that. She is a snake.

Quite clearly, they view me as trouble due to my obsession with the two females. They would rather I was not dealing with them any longer, so the easiest and in their view, at least, most effective thing to do is be rid of me for good. Since she is the land lady for the flat, I guess technically, she could evict me. And since none of those idiot seniors notified the council regarding my rent, there is also a chance they might have refused to pay over £5000 in any case.

It totally sucks either way, guys.

What lessons have you learned from all of this?

Me living with my folks was not supposed to be permanent. It is due to the court issues and I assumed when they ended, there was a chance I could have gone back to living in what was my own flat. This is why the court officials have me staying at an alternative address for now (with my family). Cathy knows the court stuff is coming to an end, so she has already arranged to be short of me because she reckons I am bad news.

As we obviously know, due to my crazy outbursts in the past, the court would not want me being in my own flat for the time-being, due to the fact I am right next door to where the staff work. This is why I have strict bail conditions not to contact Joanna and Sara, or go on that street. So by the court choosing to defer the case so constantly, it stacks up the amount of time I am away from the accommodation. They deferred the case from September to December, then from December to bloody March. Although my solicitor tried to get it over with in January when I got arrested again, they needed a psychiatry report and wound up deferring these matters, again and again. It has been so annoying.

Now, the seniors had been instructed to notify the council late last year about my circumstances. They were told this was what was needed of them. This was something they were obligated to do, as seniors. They never contacted the council at all. They had to suspend my rent because the council assumed I had moved out. Therefore, it was important that the council were made aware of what was going on with the court issues. They sent a letter stating they were still willing to pay the rent. My mother showed me this letter lately, but it is dated from way back in November. Since nobody has contacted them since, the debt has been left to accumulate. This could have been a deliberate thing on their part because they wanted a reason to chuck me out. Who knows?

What I do know, is that they cannot wait to see the back of me. I have contacted Partners in Advocacy, but the waiting times for an advocate are horrendous. You can see I am more or less being taken advantage of by the very people I depended on for years and years. Now when I call the office and a support worker answers the phone, he or she just acts clueless about what I am talking about and asks for me to call back later on. In other words, I just get fobbed off.

Peter, in no more than 12 words, without referring to other people in your story, could you please (if possible) answer Fnord's question? What have you learned from all this?

That they don't care at all and my tirade is futile.

Yep....especially the second part.
