  1. Hi to cut a stupidly long story short.... we've paid 2012/13 council tax in full already, now I can't work and don't get either income JSA or cont JSA. Wifey works 30.5 hrs 11k pa approx. If we apply for council tax benefit now is there a mechanism to pay us back some as a rebate? Cheers!
  2. Off to work now, must dash. I'll check in this evening tata
  3. good morning, good afternoon, good evening..... look at how long it was that I last posted on this!! 2 and a half years! Anyhoo, over the last year or so I've been a sick man, back trouble, lungs, swine flu, you dont want to know. By all the info I've read I'm well in for a hardship claim. 2700 at hold date, 4031 due now. Quick question(s)- Where do I contact next? Should I phone or write? Prefer the phone as they always lose correspondence. When I do contact them is it worth doing an Inc and Exp beforehand, or wait till they send a form out in their format? Think that's all, will keep you posted, thanks in advance Del
  4. Just for peoples info.... rang the two Edinburgh contact no's today to be told that N**W*** have a new dedicated helpline for "charges" matters 08000154212 if there's anyone of a mod persuasion looking in, ta Deeeek
  5. What intrigues me about the whole Cobblers situation is how does the fact that they go through the whole rigmarole and then invariably settle - cos they've got no choice of course - fit in with N**W***'s responsibility to shareholders...ie what and how are N**W*** paying them? Have they agreed at board level that yeah we know we'll lose but we'll pay you to delay as much as poss to try to put afew off? I cant see how the whole thing isnt an abuse of corporate governance and/or whatever the legal equivalent is...but hey what do I know? Deeeek
  6. Cheers Steven, been reading your 'Son of' thread with a mixture of interest and bamboozlement if thats a word! Great stuff... I'm developing an almost pathological hatred for Nastywest which grows by the day, the more of us that get our dosh back and take our business elsewhere the better. Just checked my penalties for this year alone and it's 290 sovs, mainly through them taking dd's a few days early because of bank holiday mondays, grrrrrr! Deeeek
  7. Hi Folks not posted until had any news, but story so far - phoned the Gogarburn lot to be told 'oh yes you're right it's been 62! days, we'll get then sorted now for you'.... 10 days later 'oh yes I see you rang we're very busy will sort it out now'....5 days later (2 days ago) 'we've moved to a new building to deal with this as we're snowed under (shame,GIRUY!) I'll call you back' to be fair nice lad called Andy did within 10 mins to say 'dont know why not been sent will bump you to top of pile, should be couple of days' phew... Today letter turns up from Joyce Tudor apologising and have re-ordered, but no statements yet. Oh what fun! Highlighter pens poised.... Do you think the fact that they know they've been extremely lacking on the time taken will give me extra leverage for a quicker result, anyone else had this experience? One more question....the account was originally in my name only then went into a joint acc with the present mrs Deeek, does that complicate things in any way?
  8. Hi all! That's me off and running then taking on the evil empire.... I've only been meaning to do this for about a year and a half, but finally logged out of procrastinatorsRus.com (platinum member) and got my a*** in gear! Fantastic site this, I'm gonna have plenty of questions for the old hands. Starting here... 1.sent my SAR to the Gogarburn address, retail reg risk, should it have been sent to Borehamwood? 2. on the same subject is the 40 days they have 40 working or 40 calendar? If it's calendar they're 7 days over if it's working what with Easter etc it's about 10 to go. Incidentally after reading Fendy's thread about the tatty envelopes I added this to my SAR - "Please ensure this is packaged appropriately to withstand the postal system to avoid any possible disclosure of personal information" at he end of the first paragraph... we shall see... Right then that's done! Slainte Deeeek
