Thank you. Its a PDF so I am deleting the company name etc. and will then post.

How can I give you the wording? Shall I copy it in here. I would prefer to send it to you by memo.

I have one and I have just started a new job. They have asked me when offerig the job and I haev advised them, so that is fine. However, my previous employer have just sent me an email stating that they have posted as well as emailed a letter to my new employer with the restrictions. This is not a problem as I have told them anyway, but I have since left the new job as it was very junior, so looking for a new one. I am wondering whether someone could recommend an employment lawyer, or could give me some advice, as I now have new interviews lined up and I am expecting that employer to send them a letter as well, therefore my employment may be jeopardised/restricted. I have spoken to a lawyer friend, not an employment lawyer though, and he suggested to take it easy as the judge would probably be in my favour if it gets to that point. This is because my job involves dealing with many customers who are on a database, and many companies in the industry I am in will have many of the same contacts/clients. Therefore if I deal with a client it would not be because they are my old job's client' but because they are the new one's existing customers as well. The restrictions seem to apply to the whole database which is about 20 000 people, not only the people I have dealt with. I also have no knowledge of who is actually on the database, as it is too large. So my question is, if I get an offer which I then lose because of this, can I take the old employer to court. I have heard that for example if there is a notice period, and they make me work if which results in losing another new job, due to the timing, I can sue them for damages. I do not want to sue anyone, my aim is to be able to get a new job and support myself. I have worked in an industry for the past 10 years and can not now suddenly find a totally different job/profession. But would like to know my rights. Are these enforcable? My colleagues have gone to comeptitors and have not been pursued, however I have been told that the restrictions have been posted to my new employers. Which has not happend to my colleagues who left. Any help apperciated. Mariann

Hi All Can't find the letter in the library and the company I used to work for is still using my name and photo. Could someone tell me which letter to send please Many thanks, Mariann

Thank you.

This sound really wise on the one hand, however I am wondering whether it makes any sense at all to be on there then, if no one can find me etc. Would it not be just easier to not have a profile at all? I also have a question. My employer asked a few of us to become community managers and so I now have two profiles, both with the same photos, one is my own and the other is an upgraded account that is paid for by the company. My job with relation to this was to collect contacts that are relevant to my job and the business. I have now handed in my notice and would like them to remove that profile as I will not be working there any longer. Does anyone know what are the legal requirements for them to remove my profile and stop using my name and photo please? As far as I am aware the company does not have a social media policy for employees, as such so it was dealt with on a more ad hoc basis. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. Mariann

Thanks for this Brigadier2JCS

Will having the council tax on my name improve my credit rating? Will having bills on my name improve it? Is there anything else I can do please? I am on the electoral roll and have a first direct cc which I am paying off by DD, and also have a virgin mobile contract, so far. Plus a current account from the COOP bank. (cash minder) Many thanks Mariann

How can I get a report for free? I thought its only if you subscribe they give you the first month free or something and during that time you can get it for free? Not sure?

Could someone tell me how often should I look at my credit rating, what is the minimum required for renting a flat, when the estate agent checks it, can they see how bad it is? Or only that I did/did not pass? Also if I was abroad for 4-5 years would that affect my credit rating? I had no CCJs against me, nor was I declared bankrupt. So how bad is bad, that's I guess what I would like to know. Also, shall I pay the CRA the 13 pounds for the credit check or is there another way of doing it please? Many thanks, Mariann

I have been speaking to someone who suggested that I should check the defulat dates on my CRA, as sometimes it's not correct. I have indeed checked them and I think the default date is when I stop paying someone?, I hae stopped paying my bills (due to illness, loss of job and then moving home), in April 2008, but the default dates are July and sometimes even November of 2008. Does it matter? The person I spoke to suggested it does because, they count the the 3 years/6 years from when I have stopped paying and if that's not correct it will take me longer before I can get credit? I have payed everything back and have since opened a Co-op basic account, a Capital One card and a Virgin mobile on a monthly contract, so building it back up. Could someone help me please? Thanks Mariann.

This has now been sorted, they only wanted to do an identity check electronically which they have done so.

OK. I have had some savings in another EU country which I have brought into the UK in cash in Euros. I went to the post office to change it into pounds. I then did not want to carry cash around any longer so thought I would open a savings account in the Post Office. They said fine but I can only put a 1000 pounds into the account. They have then given me a receipt and told me that I will get the rest in the post. I have now received a letter saying that I have to provide 2 proof of ID by post or by going into the local branch.This is fine I have the IDs and will go in tomorrow. The only problem is, there is a question on the form, about the source of funds. I have nothing to hide as this is my own money, and was taxed in the country I have earnt it. However I took it out there and have brought it into the country in cash. I am now wondering what to do and is there a risk I will lose the money? Or will they investigate? I don't mind if they do as I have not done anything, having said that I don't want the hassle and I want my money. Please advise. Many thanks Mariann
