    'They' don't like making it easy for people Numpty, sometimes I think you need a degree in benefit claiming so that you know where to go for various benefits because 'they' don't tell you:rolleyes:

    Come and live in Brum Numpty - my landlord is fab, he doesnt put the rent up although saying that I have probably put a hex on myself and he will:eek:

    Asda - aren't they the people have have strange interview days - called Magic Days? I have heard what goes on and I wasnt impressed:rolleyes:

    After much procrastination, I have started to write my remaining assignments which I admit are rather boring which is why I have lost all interest in them:rolleyes:

    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    why were you not given JSA was it because of the bancruptcy??
    Ive spoken to the lad again re: bike and he took the valuation he got off web buyers where i used parkers as a guide. parkers are the industry standard, never heard of webbuyers, but their prices are a lot cheaper.

    No - apparently because of my 'self-employment' :confused: . Not, as I was tempted to believe, due in any part to a computer script read out to me by what I, apparently totally without justification :rolleyes: , perceived to be a 'jobsworth' who didn't even have the courtesy to make eye-contact with me.

    Did appeal, nm - simply told I did not qualify for 'salary related jsa'. No benefits as wife works. The same person, who I described above, told me that I could 'always sell my house'.
    It is quite a painful area of memory for me, nm, and to be honest, I am trying to move on, but thanks for your sugestion. :beer:

    I nearly threw something at the telly on Sunday - first was the programme the Big Question wittering on about folks being on the dole and then during the Politics Show. I have decided to stop watching these programmes they're populated by windbags who talk the talk but won't walk the walk and make changes to the Jobcentres - as Digby Jones says "they are not fit for purpose".

    Well, I have had an afternoon of smut and great fun its been too:D
