hi just wanted to let you know how i got on went for the interview under caution with my solicitor and i have told them everything,they are trying now to get my housing benefit sorted so not to be thrown out of my home.Thet said this may take a few months to investage as they are investing all my jobs that i have had from years and years ago too as i was a self employed cleaner i have gave them all the addresses of every 1 that i worked for,as if any one knows when you are selfemployed a s a cleaner when they go away on hoildays etc you do not get paid so for the 2 weeks i was off from them i got 2 weeks work with someome else they said why didnt i inform them of this and i explained that people would not give me letters for the housing as it was my resposabilty as i was selfemployed,its not far as they say if you do not get letters of them they will not pay housing benefit,i have always worked and never been on income support as they could see on my forms,i feel im being investegate for evey thing form work ebay tax credits you name it there looking in too it,i jsut wish it wasent going on so long as i just do not know what to expect,alot of the people i worked for moved away and 2 of the people i worked for went into a home. I haver told the truth about every thing and also rang tax cedits up to tell them i have an overpayment with them now for

£5000 i was wondering will the housing take the same???

i have a solicitor for monday to come with me he basically said the same as the above posts,i have also rang tax credits to tell them as i will have an overpayment and they will be sending me a new tax credit from with the overpayment on im just hoping now that monday they waont take me to court and let me pay it off my employer has also said he will give me extra hours to be able to pay this off,im still very very scared just now knowing what the housing benefit will do.I was wondering as i will be paying tax credits back what will the council want off me?
