Ooh Lucky you. I tried emailing my MP but heard nothing back. So he seems just as useless as the tax credits. Iv just had a rant on the phone to them because apparently there was 2 different dates on the system not allowing my claim to go through. Even though another member of there staff dealt with this problem on Thursday and on Sunday everything was in order!!! I went mental and asked to speak to a manager who guess what 'was too busy to speak to me' apparently Ill get a call back today but so I hold out much hope???
How do the same members of staff view the same systems but all tell a different story. Im so angry. Id be ashamed to work there and I certainly would never employ anyone that had worked there!Saving needed to emigrate to Oz*September 2015*

woohoo... got 2 payments in my account this morning. strange as don't know what they are yet & bank can't tell me until after 8 :wall:. my hubby is expecting money for sold shares either this friday or 4 weeks on friday which is what these 2 payments total. just don't understand why it'd be paid in as 2 payments. if it is tax credits, then it's not as much as predicted by numerous "benefit calculation" sites. i've been asked to go in work early today too so won't be able to do anything until i get home later... arghh... lol. i hope it's hubby's share money. will let you know later.
one more day nosierosie - fingres crossed for you hunThe £1,000 emergency fund challenge #163 - £536.16/£10000
