OK. But you say on one hand we cannot give legal advice here and on the other you want it. Nah. I think this trolling is becoming repetitve and I for one am fed up of arguing with you.

What does that mean?

If you are not qualified, and even if you are, this is not the place for legal advice. My point all along has been that it is unfair to dismiss the OP as having no chance of making a case, much better to tell her to get the proper advice on the issue.

So, it is a case of you are fed up of arguing, not that you can't, or rather won't make the categoric statement asked of you.....OK.;)

No you go to his bank and change his status to retired, which he is and you put it down in all future application. This would solve the problem in the longer term, as someone said he is not unemployed but unemployable, he may well be unemployed but he is of independent means. Looking at the dictionary defintion of retired and this I cannot see where the problems lies.

Agreed, but then again, you never know the OP may want to waste £100 for an hour of legal advice.

No, I mean get a pre-paid card, a mobile phone contract and maybe a catalogue account, and then use diligently and sensibly for a year/18-months and then re-apply for a credit card. This has already been mentioned but discounted by yourself for whatever reason. But I'm curious, how will he become self-employed if he can never work again? You really do need to answer your many inconsistencies to get proper advice.

I think we're all agreed that you should seek professional legal advice. If only for !!!!!! and giggles for us.

And how will this change the source of his "income"?

I'm happy to argue as much as you like, but I don't know what else you want to argue. Hit me.

Or visit their local University Law Dept for pro bono advice?:D

Well, when asked to state categorically that the OP would not have a case, and that legal advice was a waste of time at least one poster declined to make that assertion.

Would you like to do so?

Not an argument, simply an unaswered question.

Well, seeing as you ask so politely the answer is the OP would not have a case under the DDA. As myself and other posters have stated for the last 100 posts.

Now I must limit myself to speaking with trolls, because you never know what you might catch. :rotfl:

It won't, but according to the OP he will be self employed in the future and so it will improve the rates that he will get in future applications.;)

Thank you, I hope you are confident of that, and have the legal expertise to back the assertion. And actually, you are the only one who has categorically answered that question. Most people have given opinion, not asserted they were legally correct.

Oh, and you missed a part of the question.....is taking legal advice a waste of time? (cost implication aside):D

A catalogue account requires the same credit checking procedure as for any credit facility and goes through the same CRA.

There is a great deal of difference in being employed and being self-employed. The Disability Employment Officer has told him that the chances of him ever again being an employee are almost nil as the difficulties caused by his disability would make him a H&S risk in the workplace which any employer is unlikely to contemplate. She told him that working from home (or not, if he is not well) at his own pace is his best option. When he is fit enough this is what he will do.

I thought a pre-paid card did not build a credit history as you never have to pay off any amounts you have spent but can spend only what you have transferred onto it which does not demonstrate your ability to control your spending or make suitable repayment arrangements.
