    Sparkle, I hope you feel a little better. Thinking of you x

    Thanks so much, daft as it sounds - It means alot to know I can come to you guys.

    I was just coming on to let you all know that Im feeling much better, think OH must have sarted reading this thread :eek: As I finished on here and then he called and said sorry for being such a (insert naughty word for poo here) and he realises that hes been really selfish over the past few weeks and he'll help out more from now on *confuzzled*
    J did his homework without being asked and Lexi has had me in stitches for most of the afternoon. I think I just needed to say it out loud (or type it ;)) For me to get it clear in my head what was so wrong with me - if that makes any sense at all?! Probably not :):o

    Now he is at the pub and I have a nice glass of white and Im munching on seabrooks - I feel Im allowed as I lost 6 pounds last week with all the up chucking so its not really going to hurt the diet ;)

    I have also done some research on cilest and will take it to docs appointment with me to see what she says....

  • Evening all.

    SM - you really need to call back and speak to a supervisor about starting a payment plan. It has been a long time since I worked in Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit but we were told to do ANYTHING to avoid a case going to court. This included setting a £1 a week clawback from somebody's earnings. If a claimant offered to pay £2 we would have been very happy unless for some reason they were taking the pee (I had one woman whose partner was earning over £40k a year - there was no way I would take a couple of quid a week as a settlement from her).

    HB and CTB is not exactly the same as Council Tax but it is the same authority so it is highly unlikely that different rules will apply.

    Can I ask how the debt accrued? Was it that you didn't pay whilst you were there or that you didn't inform them when you moved? It may make a difference in how it is handled.

    My basic advice is that it is an absolute nonsense that you can't do anything until a court summons is issued - get something, even a couple of quid paid ASAP.

    Could Philips wage go towards the debt?

    ((HUGS)) hun.
