    Get the idea!!!

    Just checked my bank again and Halifax have kindly gone and taken £50 from my normal account to bring my o/d down more without telling me! They have done this to me two times before but those times it was over £200 quid. i have already spoken to them this week to explain my situation and yet they still gone and done it!

    To top it off any JSA i was expecting to go in today is still being processed, this is now a month and when i rang up i got told it " may" go in next week when i sign on again!!!!

    jesus wept can it get any £$%$£^%^&^&^$E^%$£" worse!!!

  • The answer is YES:(:(:(:(:(

    just had my post....

    from the council housing benefit regarding my overpayment, it totalled £700 pounds and now they want to interview me on tape for fraud

    the letter was dated 29th april. saying i had my interview on 29th april.,.. doh! just rang them up and explained why i had missed it she said typing error an its next wed now so thats me down for the week

    She sounded really sweet on the phone but i know next week it will be another story, she said its standard for anyone thats received over £500 in overpayments and just to have a chat but the letter big and bold nicely states " open fraud case"

    i want to crawl under a rock

    Hiya xx

    Ebay items sold made about £40 but as no income coming in sadly it cant all be thrown on debts

    B/f nicely handed me his wages for the week so thats helping pay the bills

    Got offered the job i had the interview for on wed but crb has to be done which could take up to 2 months plus the shift pattern is not decided yet so will have to see whether i can take it or not

    Me well still down had a headache for 5 days now :(

    love to all x

    Glad the headaches gone, 5 days is a long time. Slightly stressed at the mo i'm sure.

    Good news on the job :T x

  • Morning peeps xx

    :( Well today is judgement day, 2pm and my fraud interview begins. Im feeling casually calm about it at the moment but thats because i know i didnt do anything wrong intentionally and just got to hope they believe me! (prays)

    Dd's first parents evening tonight since she started secondary school which im actually looking forward to, she went from being top of the class in junior to realising she has some competition at big school, plus its an all girls school top in the country so always added pressure and thet !!!!! effect around her lol.

    Job centre yesterday actually got my payments sorted and should receive today, fingers crossed, this means i can look at my funds again and see what the plan is but with holiday coming up and 2 new tyres needed on my car friday it may all just have to be put on hold till i find a job,

    Got my money back from halifax yesterday as well,
    Wrote to tax office regarding me thinking they have taken £38 two times, be a nice treat if that came back
    Rang wftc on the off chance i may be due something but something on my form wasnt right so shes sorted that and at this moment in time it doesnt look like im due anything,,,, ah well worth a try lol

    Im still managing my pad's which is good and im trying to make little over payments on my cc as well as at mo only managing minimum payments is a tad depressing but when you have to spread the cash around sometimes its all thats possible,

    Anyway must get on things to do people to beg to and a long long day ahead


    love to all xxx
