  • Sorry, didnt read that properly!!

    >>>>If you are only working 4hours - perhaps you could apply for JobSeekers Allowance too? I believe you can claim this and still work up to 16 hours a week (although they will deduct what you are entitled too depending on how many hours you work!). See Jobcentre for details. >>>>>>


    If you have made yourself voluntarily unemployed you are not entitled to job seekers- unless you can argue the reasons you left

    Actualy I popped into the Job Centre last week, which was before I got the new part time job and they were going to put in a claim for JSA and I asked about leaving my job and they said I could still claim.

    I'm going to ring tomorrow and see where I stand with a job but only contraced to so few hours.

  • Im claiming JSA and i left my job of my own accord, all that happens is that you have to fill out a few extra forms and explain why you did it.

    They will clear HFC loan and 1 CC,

    Your not going to be getting 19% interest on any of those savings so may as well use them to pay off the debts, when you have no debts then look at savings as you live with your mom your unlikely to have any " Emergancies" like the cooker breaking.

    Thjis would be the best start to stop the debt spiraling out of control. Stop paying extra towards the 0% CC uswe the extra to pay off high interest debts.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
