How do you get a civil lawyer that is fine with legal aid?

@Paul Lee

I would highly recommend you put all this behind you. If your country is like the US, you won't be able to represent yourself in court. I have learned through much emotional pain that the majority of people can't or won't deal with Aspies. Because we are different, we see things differently.

I read your post, and I agree that you should let it drop. Spend the time trying to rebuild your rep instead. You broke the law, you even admitted it in your post. Your not innocent in what happened to you by your own words. But to keep harping on it, will just keep driving people away and close a lot of door that might be open to you. I am a straight shooter, I don't lie and that makes people around me uncomfortable sometimes.

My advice to you is stop and try to put the past behind you, I know this is hard. Take a long look at your actions that lead to where you are, learn from them and do not repeat the mistakes. Life is not fair by all means. Take it one day at a time...
 
This is vastly unrelated to the main issue, but how do I get these guys on YouTube to stop harassing me in videos? They keep constantly posting about me on Twitter or making videos, due to them bashing a guy called "Nemesis" a year ago, all over Resident Evil related viewpoints he made, and I flagged their videos for abuse after they decided to mock me too, and they have settled their beef with Nemesis, but Google ain't deleting these videos that they keep up about myself on their channels. They're being vindictive, to a high degree.
 
Peter - if you are still under restraining orders or no-contact orders, which you seem to be, then there's a good chance that you would be violating such an order by filing a lawsuit against those people who are protected by the restraining orders. It would just make your situation even worse than it is. Try to focus on something new and put the past behind you. Good luck and please stay out of trouble with the law.
 
Yeah, you're probably right. I don't know how the law works at all, and if nobody wants to take on such a case, it's like trying to walk through a firing squad shooting at you, when you are holding a tea tray as a shield. My sister can't even find anybody to take on her case either, so her ex will probably be granted a residence order very soon.
 
The YouTube guys will stop harrassing you when you no longer have anything to do with them. Don't even look at their videos. They will eventually find something else to do with their time or find some other target to go after. I listened to the video you posted and it is pretty bad so I understand why you are angry, but you can't let it undermine your life. Just ignore them. They are not worth your time or energy. :)
 
I'm seeing a lawyer today, about my situation.

Apart from that, my housing officer said I'm due like £1750 in rent arrears, that he told me he was dealing with a few months ago. It appears nothing was being paid to the council while I was in custody last year, but he should have explained all of this, and I'm behind on other bills too.

I deleted the last post, because it was really a big rant about nothing special.
 
I hope your attorney can help you out of this mess. I don't know the laws where you live or whether public housing assistance continues while you're incarcerated. Good luck!
 
I ended up not going. My agoraphobia was playing up again, so I just called the receptionist and asked if the lawyer could contact me about meeting me either at my flat, or somewhere nearby. When I walked up the road and I reached the end, I didn't feel like going another 3 miles to reach his firm on foot. And I feel kind of faint or uneasy when I go outdoors now, and it is worse if I am tired. Funnily enough, this anxiety never bothered me as a child. My bus pass expired in July, but I do not like using buses anyway.

I don't know if he can help, but my mother has him as her lawyer over the issues to do with my nephew. The guy at the council never explained things properly about the rent arrears either. He just emailed me a few months ago, saying he was dealing with things, and I honestly thought that was the end of my financial troubles there and then. At some point, I got all this money paid into my bank account regarding Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment, and he never let on about the DWP not paying my rent last year when I was in jail for 4 months. My mother and I assumed that they paid it for the first 13 weeks, as she spoke to the cyrenians at the prison, and we just thought that arrears due to any term over that point had to be dealt with by myself, but that the other weeks had been covered.

Now, that custodial sentence happened nearly a year ago, and he also did not state that the council were not paying my full (current) rent either. There is a difference of about £40 to pay, but he never explained all of that at all, which means it has probably piled-up along with the other debt he wants for the water and heating rates, and had he specified all of this ages ago, the problem would not have gotten this bad. When he sends me emails about this carry on too, he just breaks everything down briefly, but his summary is unclear, and he gets some of the info wrong. In a recent message for example, he listed something as occurring fortnightly instead of monthly. It made no sense.

By the way, I had to contact the Australian police about some guy that stalks me online. He regularly spams vile images and posts derogatory remarks on another forum I go to all of the time, and he has been doing this since the summer of 2017. After doing some fishing, I found a Twitter profile and I am certain that it's him, along with the same dog that he posted a picture of on a forum a few years ago. This guy used to run a website about Capcom, a video games company.

He thinks this is all a big joke. He monitors my imdb.com page too, and everything about my film career, despite saying I'm a "bad actor" and whatnot. He has never let up since he started stalking me over 2 years ago. This is partly why I will be quitting forums at the end of the year. Too many websites these days are populated by arrogant radge pots, who are just like him. But I know this guy has been after me for years, because I know he was a member of a lot of these stupid Resident Evil related message boards back in the day, as in 2004 or so.

Unfortunately, when you call up the authorities overseas to issue a formal complaint, everything is okay... until you say you're in Britain, and then there's a long pause, followed by some excuses. The copper just gave me the name of a website to go on, to fill in a report, but when you state that you're outside of Australia, it will not allow you to proceed. While I have tried to ignore him, albeit unsuccessfully, he keeps on doing this same old childish nonsense over and over again, to the point where I just have to try to laugh off his stupidity. Although this one IP address I had gotten from him, from one of his edits on Wikipedia, is actually linked to a company in New Zealand. The ISP is called Spark.

God darn it all. It's no wonder I feel browbeaten by all of this crap!
