The Census.

Hi,
I'm really not sure where would be the best place for this and i'm sorry if this has already been posted.
Apparently today someone came round and told my flatmate I hadn't done the census when I have done it. I did it online AGGGGESSSSS ago. Since then, my housing manager told me I was meant to bring the envelope to her but I had destroyed it (because that's what it tells you to do) and she said that would be fine.
I really do not know what to do, I don't want to get a fine but I can't find a way of contacting the census people.
Please help!

you can contact the england cencus helpline on: 0300 0201 101Trinidad - I have a number of needs. Don't shoot me down if i get something wrong!!0

Order a new form off their website, fill it in and send it off.I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0

If you did it online did you save the ref code they gave you right at the end? This should show that you have filled it in. I saved the page onto my pc just in case there was any problemsSmile and be happy, things can usually get worse!0

If it didn't send correctly online then when they do come around they will have spare forms for you. Just apologise and fill another form in. They'll only fine you if you wilfully don't do it, not if there was just a problem with the form not sending and you're happy to fill another one in."Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart.

Hmm, I'm not sure how filling in another will help. That will mean that Mingle's submitted two sets of responses which is hardly good for the accuracy of the stats. I'd do nothing, frankly. Wait and see what happens."Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell" - Edward Abbey.0

This was my first thought too!One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0 -
I've just called the helpline and it's useless. In a bit i'll have a word with my housing manager.
Thanks for all the help!0 -

If you have this and try to do it again online you will find out if it has been sent. If someone official had called at your proprty (doubtful as others have said) do you not think they would have left a card or communixcation of some sort rather than relying on word of mouth?0
