so bloody annoyed with husband!

lyndsay1986

he was working for HDNL *hides* lol it was a temp job up till Christmas and basically they finished him on the 17th December.

I told him to ring the jobcentre right away but he was putting it off..he still had a weeks wages and some holiday pay to come so have been living off that. we have got around £10 left of it and he still hasn't bothered to ring even though i have been asking him to !

he told me he would ring them today.....just got the numbers for him to sort it out and he said i will do it tomorrow..:mad: We had a huge argument over it.

he just doesn't understand...we have nothing left! I have to see if i can borrow some money from my mum for my little boys school uniform! till tax credits comes next tuesday!

if that fails then laptop going into cash converters !

Can understand your frustration. Could it be a pride thing with him, not wanting to contact the job centre?

Id sit him down and make it very clear again that you literally have no money left. Leave it to him to either get down the job centre or to have to ask someone to lend him the money. That might make him think. Whilst you are sorting the situation he isn't facing up to it.

I would just ring them up myself if I were you, explain the situation and when they say they need to talk to him before they can help, just pass him the phone.

My husband is similar: we needed some dividend cheques resent to us, they wouldn't talk to me about it (he's the shareholder) and he kept saying he'd do it later so I just rang and passed the phone to him when they said they needed his say-so. It avoids the argument.

If he starts his claim now it will take a while to process, leaving you even more in the lurch, I would be fuming! I think that if your claim is still being processed you can apply for a crisis loan to tide you over a little bit, then when your benefits payments start coming through you pay the loan back off in installments, might be worth looking into?

I'd have kicked his backside into the middle of next week well before now. Get that computer down to Cash Converters tomorrow!

I would say to the person that its very generous of them. Especially after all the help and money they have given already.
If they insist on you having it put it towards paying them back.

So as to avoid them having a dig when they are skint why dont you set up a direct debit to pay them back a certain amount each month. Then they cant throw it back at you again. The debt will be getting paid off at a level and speed you are both okay with.

It should be a rapid reclaim as he started with them in October ?

he doesn't like talking to people on the phone ....i might ring and pass the phone over like someone suggested

Why can't you ring job centre?

you could always claim JSA for the family and have your husband as the partner on your claim.
