please help me :(

Hi there,

I used to work in the CAB, ages ago, but if someone had a dispute like this we'd ring on the client's behalf which usually meant a bit more attention was given to the problem. Sometimes we'd help the person write first, keeping a copy and sending recorded delivery, and then get involved directly if the letter didn't result in a sensible outcome. I really think a third party getting involved on your behalf would help. Obviously take the paperwork to show the adviser and let them take copies (never send original statements off or you have no proof).

I hope you're feeling better. Walking the dog sounds like a brilliant idea as exercise and fresh air always lift my spirits.

Is there a local MIND group or walking/exercise group locally? Your GP or local leisure centre should have details.

Take some time for yourself and concentrate on doing things which you enjoy and know will help you feel better.

Take care and keep posting,

Bumping... Patchy, we are concerned about you, and there are people here who *can* help.
And did you ask about paragraphs? I'm not sure why they don't come out for you, I just hit the 'Enter' button to get a paragraph, but sometimes it doesn't show up if your sentence happens to run to the end of a line. In that case you could hit 'Enter' twice and get a space between lines. Hope that makes sense - I'm not at my most lucid at midnight!
Anyway I hope the meds are helping and that we hear from you soon,
Look after yourself
{Hugs}

I'm really worried about you. Please just post to say you're OK, even if you don't want to say anything else.

hi guys, i am overwheklmed that people who hardly know me can be so caring, i really thought people would think i was a nuisance which is why i stayed away for a bit. thankyou so much for all your support, i have tried every avenue i can think of to sort this issue out but noone seems able to help me. what i have done though thanks to advice from CAB and you guys here is to pull off all my bank statements and highlight all my payments and have sent this recorded delivery along with their chart highlighted to show their f*** up. i hope i will get this resolved as i am still not sleeping properly.last night i went to our local spiritualist church to get healing to help me to relax and i have to say i do feel a bit better for it, i no longer feel like the only way out is to end it all, i feel like i need to fight this which is what i now intend to do.again, thanks for all your help and i will keep you updated as to what happens.
i also want to add that without you guys helping me, i may well have ended it as that seemed to be the only option i could see, but you guys made me see that there were other ways. so again thankyou

Good for you patchy!!

Don't let the b******s grind you down! You are worth more than that - much more, just remember that. I am really pleased that you are looking on the positive side, don't ever give up.

Well done patchy, you keep that fighting spirit girl!

You say you can't claim benefits, have you tried to claim Incapacity benefit? If you're unable to work because of depression you may be able to claim it.
