Thanks, I only have a payg mobile, I have no credit cards and I certainly do not use brighthouse et al. I work quite a distance from home and have to travel up to 50 miles a day and don't get mileage allowance, but it's still better than having no job. Time to sit down and do my sums again.

Thanks, I will have got bill reminder letters but nothing legal, just saying I owe money. I know, it's been very tough for me the past few years, but like you say, my own doing. I really need to learn how to juggle very little. All I want to know is if what they've done is legit. Does it not matter if the owner of the property is not in? If they had made an appointment with me I would have gladly let them change the meter. I'm actually relieved there's a meter, hopefully the household will stop playing fast and loose with the heating. I don't know what charis trust is?

I don't believe what's happened. Firstly, times have been hard for a while and the bills have been mounting up. I've been trying to clear it but each month the new bills bring the bills back up again, so I have been struggling for a while. I got back from work tonight to discover that a locksmith and two Scottish Gas guys broke into my house to change the gas meter to a pay as you go one. My 14 year old son was in at the time, he had no classes this afternoon. No ID was shown, they asked if he owned the house, then asked how old he was, when he told them he was 14 they told him to leave the house or they would call the police. I assume they are not allowed to be in a property with a child. He opted to run away, leaving the house with 3 strangers in it! They broke in before to change the electricity meter above head height. Are they really allowed to do what they like?

Oh Amigo are the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Nasty threatening emails and text which, when I reply, they never respond to. Don't even talk to them on the telephone, they demand to know all my business and talk to down to me like a naughty child. I'm 46! Steer clear of this lot.

I've just received a letter from these cretins, claiming I owe HM Revenue & Customs. Now my dilemma is thus: 1. Do I file it in the fire, or 2. Do I file it in the shredder

If you type in 'nintendo ds broken hinge' into youtube, you will find thousands of people with the same problem. Mine is with Nintendo just now, under warranty, which they say I have to pay £55 to repair it, but I now realise I can repair it myself for £3.99 with an new hinge from ebay! Nintendo had so better not hold me to ransom like they have done with you Sheish, they can just dam well send my console back to me! Good luck to all you ds users

My Meriva has started to loose the power steering which is quite worrying, I need to take it to Vauxhall to have a diagnostics done and take it from there. I have no claim on the independant garage as I bought it over a year ago, and I don't hold out much hope with Vauxhall either, so looks like I'm in for a pretty hefty bill!!

I'm sorry Martin to you and everyone here for using bad language and for upsetting anyone and for not thinking,

Phew, thanks guys, what a pickle. So, I will be fine then, they just questioned me in my house and nothing else happened after that, because obviously the edit making the allogations against me knew he would look a edit in court telling lies. But just goes to show you that anyone can make up stories about you and cause you a lot of grief, But I feel a lot better now I have talked it over with you, thanks again:)

Following on from my question about being questioned under caution... I am applying for a childcare job and when looking into Disclosure Checks it appears that police cautions will show up and now I am thinking my whole career has been ruined because of a chav who has been stalking me for four years has been able to tell the police an outright lie and turn th tables on me. The employersare lovely but I just can't bring myself to say anything at the moment cos I'm so embarrassed and they might think there's more to it. Do you know what I mean. I just don't know what to do.

Quick update, moved away fro six months, relaxed, came back and he's stalking me, police wont help, off to hang myself:(

Townie A more up market Chav Skater Keep themselves to themselves, artistic, casual, happy, fun seekers Do you think people judge teenagers by the way they look without knowing what they are really like?
