  • got a letter with loads of questions i don't know how to answer
    this is from an examiner and not my or - does that make sense?
    1, is it correct that you have not held a 'proper job' since 2000 when you were employed by jjb?
    my answer I have written down
    no, i worked at the local united services as a cleaner for a few months, this in the end was pointless as everything i earned was taken back via tax credits.

    does that sound okay??

    Sarah who is the letter from ?
    whats their title ?

    2, since this time have you undertaken the occasional shift doing bar work at your parents pub? During the last 2 years
    a, how often have you done this work
    b, how many hours per shift on average
    c, how much were you paid
    d, was your partner living with you throughout
    e, if not when did he move in,
    f, has he always contributed 455 every month to the household
    g, if not why
    h, in general have you been reliant on benefits
    i, have you had any income fvrom any other source

    does this mean now, then,
    coupon over here, coupon over there, every crack filled with coupons even down there

    Tell them exactly that sarah, they aren't there to trip you up just to get a clear picture of what's what. Just be honest, don't offer more than you need to, just answer the questions as you have above.

    Sorry I didn't realise this wasn't from the OR himself, as I don't really know who an examiner is I should shut up and let the people who do know answer you. I'm sure it's all fine though, so try not to worry, just answer the questions clearly but briefly.

    3, why did you lie on your application forms

    well as you all know i gambled it all away, when i first applied for a loan I mentioned it to my mum and she said just to put down that i worked for her and that would be fine, this is what i did and done it a few more times, not once did anyone check though
