"Interview under caution..."

If you are not expecting that money to be there, and are living within your wages, i would have no reason to check my accounts.

I am lucky in that i do earn fairly good money and work in a job where i don't have a lot of free time to spend it!

Why would i be looking for a payment i am not expecting?

:rotfl::rotfl: Exactly to avoid what you are experiencing now :rotfl::rotfl:

In the end, it makes no difference, if you had checked, you would have repaid immediately after the first payment, hence not suffering much hardship, and then would have not had the money that you have enjoyed these months. If you didn't need it, then your account should have that extra money to repay back what you were not entitled to anyway?

OP. you still havent said how much the overpayment is.

ive always been really good with money, and know where every penny has been spent.... but i know a lot of people are much more 'easy come, easy go'
but it stands to reasin, that the less you have, the closer you would watch it.
i check my account most days.

I don't agree it is directly link to how much you earn, more about your personality and how you manages your finances. I earn much more now than I did when I was a single mum but keep a much closer eyes on my finances now probably after all those months spent on this forum

It has nothing to do at all with fitting with others do. It's about taking responsibility to insure that exactly what has happened to the OP doesn't occur!!!

If you choose not to do something that you know is good practice and would protect you, then accept the consequences of that choice, pure and simple.

Of course I accept the consequences, but there have been no consequences for me. I do not accept that "the consequences" would include any charge of fraud after I had done my duty and informed a council that I wanted my HB to stop yet they continued to pay it unbeknownst to me, if and when I looked at my account and realised this I would tell the council of their mistake but I have no liability to check my accounts.

That is simply stupid. If you were the victim of card fraud you'd not know, potentially for months. And you think this is a good way of managing your finances?

Did I say "good way of managing my finances" ? I said it is a reality that some people don't check, including me. So why do you think the OP and I are lying when we say this?

Sorry, but you're talking crap. I earn a good wage and check my account frequently. You just love to bleat about how hard things are for you - at every available opportunity.

You're making the same mistake FBaby made.

dont be so selective over the posts you read,
FBaby said exactly the same thing as you, but once pointed out, she realised we were saying the same thing.

if youre going to accuse me of talking crap... at least bother to read what was written

im not saying that it is directly linked. some people are more careful/good with finances.

i have £100 in the bank ,,, it stands to reasin i would have to keep checking to make sure i didnt overdraw, whereas if i had £1,99 then i wouldnt necessarily need to check more than once a week

I was made redundant from that job following the accident referred to.....hence my claim for benefits.

Thanks for looking though.

Serious enough to lose you job over, and to make a claim. But you were well enough to start a new job 2 months later. Really????

Because i have already had medical advice. From the A&E Consultant who saw me on Monday.

Told me to expect it to be sore and painful for anything up to a week or more, so i don't really have any concerns over my symptoms at this point.

If i am still suffering in a few days, or it gets worse, i will seek the appropriate help.

I have had a steady stream of friends and work colleagues telling me that i should claim since it happened, so i thought i would find out more about it.

I realise that these sort of claims aren't popular, but does that mean that i am any less entitled to claim?

I really hope you didn't go ahead with your claim, and put all of our insurance premiums up??

especially as he 'earns a good wage and lives within his means'

i think there is more to this than we're being told. a 2 month overpayment in HB wouldnt usually result in an interview under caution
