Am I really? So let me see, because my other half is single our son suddenly becomes a mirage? I have always lived with my parents and haven't moved out. We were a couple and were planning on moving in together and I was moving out of my parents. We were also getting married in the summer but now we are not. Is that clear enough, as honestly I see no contradiction in there! I thought this site was supposed to be friendly, not lets jump on the next person with a problem. And when you are woken up by a junkie trying to get into your house at 3 in the morning then you would want to move too.

So let's see one room is my son's but it's spare now as he has turned into a mirage. He doesn't expect the social to pay anything thank you very much, it's a bit of help until he can work again, which when he is working he does very hard thank you. As I already explained he is contributing to his rent and fully expected to do, the point I was making was that he was given conflicting information on the benefit values. The sooner he gets a job and can pay full rent the better. As honestly do you think he likes sitting doing nothing all day? Maybe you lot find it easy to make assumptions and judge people but hey here's a lesson for you. People who are on jobseekers are not always scroungers and lowlifes, there are some decent people out there.

so what about your previous posts about living in a damp house with the oh and your kid.

I wanna buy a cheap wardrobe

Basically I'm looking for a really cheap double wardrobe and chest of drawers set. I've been moving house and our old house was damp infested and basically the wardrobes crumbled and broke upon moving. I have no storage and very little money, and I don't know where to look! My budget is about £50-60 for both items, which isn't much I know!!! I live in Scotland, if that makes any difference! Thanks loads.

SCS Sofas

I was in SCS today and decided that I liked one of the Sofas and went through the hassle of all the paperwork ect. Now my Mum came in and saw them and thought that they didn't look good quality ect, and they were ex display models (which I knew, but didn't think much of at the time.) I decided about 5 mins after I left the shop that I wasn't happy with them. I then phoned my partner and found out that as a surprise had went ahead and bought a new sofa for cash.

So I phoned the shop back literally 5 mins after I left to be told sorry no cancellations. Now this was never pointed out to me, or I would have left straight away. I had to speak to the salesman who told me that I should see about returning the other couch as there was no way I was getting this one cancelled. By this point I had really decided that I didn't want it at all and my Mum stepped in and dealt with it. I thought that it was against the consumer credit act to not have a cooling off period. Plus the fact that the sofa is an ex display model and not being made for me. It really was going to cost too much, so I'm glad to be trying to get out of it. I actually felt sorry for the salesman as he was an older man and seemed to have some problems with his health, and that made me decide to go for it.

Anyway my Mum was told that it probably could be cancelled but they can't deal with it until Monday as they have to ask the finance company if it's ok to cancel. Bare in mind that the finance agreement hasn't even been looked at yet, as it won't be processed until Monday. So basically I have been taken for a ride and they were giving me all different information. So on the promise of one of the salesmen it will be cancelled, but can anyone give me any advice or information to quote in case it all goes pearshapped?

Housing Benefit Help

My oh has been offered a job but it is only 20 hrs per week. I went onto entitled to and it said that we would be entitled to 29p per week housing benefit, can this be right? He would only be earning £100 per week before tax and our rent is £50 per week alone. Can anyone shed some light onto how you work out how much you would get? Thank you.

Help about letter from DWP.

My partner claims JSA and recieved a letter today saying that he will be getting a visit from the customer compliance team next week. Does anyone know what this would mean or likely to be about. I looked it up on the DWP website and it came up about fraud which really freaked me out. I hope that someone will be able to help as I am really getting stressed about it. Thank you for your help.

I Need Some Advice please!

Ok here goes, I know absolutely nothing about mortgages and so on, so please bear with me! My fiance and I are at the moment in a council flat but we really need to get out of it and into our own place. There are a lot of personal and other reasons why, so reallly staying in the flat we are in, or getting another council house is not a viable option. My fiance is currently unemployed but is desperatly seeking a job. I am a full time accountancy student and I hope to be able to get a position after this last year of study. I don't know how we would be placed, but is there any way that we would get a mortgage and would we need a guarentor? As I said above I really know nothing about this! Can any explain any options that are open to us? I appreciate all help! Thanks.

Sarah

So Sarah, you've never lived together:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yes I stayed there 2 nights a week, I didn't live there. Are we not grasping the concept very well? What about my other threads? Are they any of your business? We have always been above board and let the housing know that we were there 2 nights a week. The housing also know that we have a son and that I may be there one or two nights a week if need be and that's ok with them, so is that ok with you?

I think you will find that your posts admits to you sharing a council flat with your fiancee.
This only came about because you jumped down peoples throats when they suggested you pay towards the rent for the spare room.
You've been caught out telling porkies here.
Yes this site does offer practical advice to people, but you need to be honest about your situation, not change it as you go along.
I actually defended you at one point & said I saw no mis or wrong doings in your post:rolleyes:

milkydrink

Not at all do you need to explain anything to me.
I'd just like to draw your attention to the previous posts above, in particular the enlarged text:rolleyes: , it's all your posts, no-one elses:D

Do I really need to explain my life to you, also do you have nothing better to do than conduct a survey into my life. As I already said yes we were planning on moving in together so yes we needed the stuff. I also said we broke up. I also clarified that I lived there 2 nights a week. I don't see where you are failing to grasp this? I clearly said that I never moved out of my parents and that I have never moved in with him.

whatever love, your a blagger and thats it.
you dont need to justify anything to us , i dont care what you do, but you've slipped up and are afraid to admit it.
