thanks pumpkinhead

thanks for your reply, occ health were very good when they phoned me and asked if there was anything they could do to help...........i also had my appraisal ( 6 week review ) just before i went sick, and i scored the highest/ excellent in all area's so i believe they are verry happy with me, also i have spoken to them regarding my fears and they told me that its not the length of sick time off its the frequency of sick times off, they re-assured me at this point not to worry.............but as previously said i get my MRI results on tuesday and i think i will need an op, so will need further time off...........im probably just jumping the gun at the moment, just need to be prepared for the worst i think. i also looked into incapacity benefit online today as if this is not operable, i think i may have a case as my back is giving out approx evert 4-8 weeks now, and taking longer and longer each time to recover ,,,,,,,,so not good.

hi all i wonder if anyone may be able to advise, i started a new job on the 28th dec 2009 and i dislocated my shoulder a couple of weeks ago and needed to take 3 days off, all was fine with that, but now i have had to take time off again as i have an ongoing back problem the doctor has signed me off until 2nd december, when i filled out my starter pack i DID put on my health questionairre that i had on-going back problems, occ health phoned and asked about my back and i was totally honest and told them i was waiting for MRI scan and could not tell them what the diagnsis was at that point, i get the results on tuesday but am verry woried as im on 26 weeks probation..............can they get rid of me ???

morning all, just wanted to let you know mum got her credit report this morning from all 3 agencies and .................. nothing whatsoever !!! no defult, no ccj's nothing ! but having said that it does natrually only go back to 2003................. is this a good sign ??? surely if there was a debt there they would continue to alert the agencies ??? and wouldn't they be putting it at default ???

ok thanks for that dx

hi all, firstly thankyou for all your wonderfully helpful replies so far, ive got mum to sign up tp check my file as suggested in an earlier post, what should she be looking for ???

do you think their letter saying they would close the file is she proved her sick benefit ( which she did ) should of formed a legal contract ? because i keep telling her to go that route with it.

also i should mention that they sent a leter through c a b saying that if she proved she was on sick benefit they would review her in 12 and 24 months and if nothing changed re her being on sick benefit within that time they would close the file..........she recieved this letter from them in 2001, she did prove that, then in 2002 they came after her again which is why she involved c a b, thats when they ofered this £10 per month payment...........but no payment has actually ever been made, then here we are 7 years later, chasing her again after no contact ! poor mum

well this is what i cant understand .......... why if they believe that they have a chance have they not taken it to court before ? but i think that its little comfort to her at the moment, she is so angry with heself that she went to citizens advice 7 years ago because she thinks that them offering the bs £10 per month was admission on her part, which would not make it statute barred right ?

thanks ell-enn so much, i understand this is the best way forward for her she is just so scared now and thought this was all over years ago, and like i said a pensioner now so this is a terrible place for her to be, and as mentioned before is worried she will loose her inheritence too, which is basically all she has to see her through the rest of her life. thanks again joella68

hi guys thanks for your response so far, we think this statute barred is not applicable because mother has a letter saying that they would accept £10 per month that citizens advice must have offered..........but she does not remember giving authority for them to do that do you give signed permission for c a b to act on your behalf when enlisting their help ? she has aked c a b to give her all correspondence but they say that they dont keep files after 6 years so have nothing now as they helped with this in 2002, she is affraid to go to the bs for a Subject Access Request in case this all opens a huge can of worms she is wondering how they found her address too. she is very ill and stressed over all this which she thought was many years behind her. please any further help would be fantastic

thanks for that dx, right it is the britania building society that are chasing her, there has been no finacial transaction at all, i phoned the britania the other day on her behalf did not give any names and asked them how long they can chase and they told me there was no time limit to it !
