    Well done. Now, be strong and ignore any more communication. Go out for a walk, anything, just make yourself unavailable.

    He’s thick. I mean, if you cannot afford make monthly payments or whatever by committing to your car, then don’t buy one haha. Simple really

  • Aaron, may I ask you a question? Who is your PIP paid to? Is it paid into your bank account or is it paid into your mother's account?

    Hi

    My mother is currently my appointee and therefore PIP is paid in to her Post Office Bank Account, and then she hands the money straight over to me.

    Did you establish if she is claiming Carers Allowance for you?

    Saying no to your brother today is a positive step. Have you taken any advice on the situation with your mother?

    Its never a good idea because if they KNOW there is someone to pay the bill, people are too quick to default. "Oh well, so and so will pay it" will probably be on his mind in case he ever gets into financial difficulties! You did the right thing. If you couldn't afford it for yourself, don't finance it for someone else.

    No.

    I have taken everything in to account and regardless on how mother’s ‘know best’ it’s not their business on how they deal with my circumstances so no

    Hello.

    I got this text off my mum this morning:

    “(removed name) asked if can give your details to jst get a car it doesn’t concern u tho”

    What does that mean by ‘it doesn’t concern you because it sounds nasty.

    Is your mum asking you to be a guarantor for someone?
