    Well put it this way.....I checked a website this morning that usually has them on, and they weren't there. Don't ask which site, can't remember. Fingers engaged, but brain is still in bed.

    They have gone bust, I heard the announcement in a shop yesterday and saw in a paper this morning.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    At work we all got given £50 Choices vouchers for Christmas. This morning the Company received a letter from Choices. I didn't get to read it myself but was asked if I'd used it up yet. A few of my colleagues hadn't used there's yet. Shame they seemed like good vouchers.

    They say they`re replacing the vouchers. people have to email( if they can ) their agents name, number etc, numbers on the vouchers and then send them off for replacement vouchers.Apparantly 2006 vouchers are`nt affected.

    Please see the Farepak website as above.

    If your agent was with farepak you can get a full refund (in current vouchers of your choice)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
