little he could do but he would get an Inspector from Brixton to call me so I could make a formal complaint. I have not been contacted by
           an Inspector and I do not feel as though my situation has been taken seriously by the police.

           The seizure of my van has caused me a number of problems and cost me a lot of money.

           Due to PC Geoghegan informing my insurance company I had tools in my van and was doing odd jobs I received a letter to say they
           were cancelling my insurance policy. I was told I would need proof there were no tools in the van.

           My mother and I were making a lot of calls to the police and later my mother spoke to Inspector Sally Browne, my mother was told that
           the police officers were now off duty until next week and I would not be able to speak to them anyway. She said that she was going to
           look into the matter and get back to my mother the next day which she did. It was at this point Inspector Sally Browne told my mother as
           we were taking the matter to court it would be for the Judge to decide on an outcome.

           There were many calls to try and find the proof I needed to stop my insurance company cancelling my insurance policy. On the last call
           made to 101 my mother spoke to a lady that did give her some information that could help me that the police compound my van was
           taken to would hold a list of any items that was in my van when it was seized by the police.

           Over that weekend my mother sent emails to the police compound trying to find out the information. She got read replies back but no
           reply to what was being asked these emails were also forwarded to my insurance company.

           On the 25 November 2013 my mother called Broadsure Direct to ask for the emails to be forwarded to Kelly Tiller at KGM and ask her
           if she could try and get hold of the compound and get the information. My insurance was due to be cancelled at 12:00 on the 25
           November 2013, again KGM had to extended my insurance as she also could not get the information from the police compound, and in
           am email I was asked to go to the police compound and get them to call Kelly Tiller and if they could not do this put a subject access
           request in for the information for my insurance company.

           On 26th November 2013 I attended the police compound and the manager placed a call to Kelly Tiller at KGM confirming there were no
           tools in the van. He said if there had been any in the van when it arrived, they would have been locked away securely. Kelly Tiller
           requested a copy of the item list but the manager told her she would need to request this in the correct way.

           I had to pay £190.00 to recover my van along with travel costs to and from the car police compound more than once to address this issue.

           My mother was also trying to get all the information from KGM including the audio of the calls, she put subject access requests into
           KGM, but KGM was not getting back to her, there were a lot of emails sent back and forward.

           In April 2014 I got a summons to go to court for this case I sent the plea form by email on the 22/05/2014 pleading not guilty for this
           case. Case number 011401009802 it said in the letter if I was pleading not guilty, I would get a letter with a date for me to go to court.

           I waiting for the letter with the date which I did not get and later found out I had been found guilty due to me not attending. Emails were
           sent to get the case re opened which did happen.

           In this time my mother was still trying to get the information from KGM and the audio for the court hearing but was not having any luck
           with KGM doing what they should have done.

           On the 26th November 2014 at Wimbledon magistrates court, the case was heard, PC Geoghegan was there and under oath told the court
           false information, even when the judge asked about tools being in the Van PC Geoghegan lied and said he could not remember, why
           could he not remember because he had not written this in his statement the true facts so in his statement were lies. I did not at this stage
           have the information from KGM that would prove that PC Geoghegan was lying and was found guilty given a ban from driving, points
           on my driving license and a fine. The judge did say as he knew I was going to appeal if I was found guilty, that he would wait until I
           filled the appeal form so I went out of court filled in the appeal then went back into court and the judge granted the appeal, The judge
           also give me some advice that if I did not have the information I needed by the time the appeal date came from my insurance company,
           to go to the crown court and ask them to do a summon on the people I needed from my insurance company.

           I was very upset over the way the police officer had lied under oath to the judge and the next day my mother called Broadsure Direct and
           spoke to Martin Jenkins he wrote an email to KGM and got a reply back that an Andrew Austin was going to deal with this matter
           directly. My mother sent over to Martin Jenkins what was needed including again the subject access request from

           KGM.

           My mother also put a complaint into Financial Ombudsman about what had been going on and the way in which the insurance company
           had been dealing with this.
