  1. No, she has not been submitting meter readings regularly. However it still seems to be a very high amount they are asking for.
  2. Thank you for the replies. She lives in a two bedroom property with her two children. When she took over the property she spoke with British Gas who offered her a contract for £50.00 a just for just her electricity. Now a year down the line they are demanding a payment of £1000.00 - this is on top of the £50.00 a month she has been paying - which is £600.00 for years worth of electricity which sounds about right to me. No sure where the extra £1000.00 came from. I will advise her to send the SAR today.
  3. Hi Guys, I need some advice for a work colleague. She has been living at a new address in London for just over a year. She was paying £50 a month fixed amount for her electricity and has now received a bill demanding over £1000 as British gas claim she had been under charged all this time. I would like to help her challenge this amount. What would be the best way in going forward? Thank you
  4. Hi Guys, I would like some advice please. I received a council tax final notice on 11th Match 2015 asking for payment of £64.42 before the 25th March 2015 to avoid being issued with a summons. I paid that amount on 14/03/2015. However today I received a bill for £180.00 plus summons cost of £120.00. I believe I owe £180.00 for council tax but don't see why I should be asked to pay the summons when I had already been sent a demand for final notice. Is there anyway I can get the summons costs to be cancelled? Is there any template letter I can use for this? Thanks,
  5. Hi, This is a new claim for an old card. Restons solicitors and not sure what company card as I do not remember. They are trying to claim a CCJ against me and that is why I sent the CPR 31.14 request. Shall I now submit the same defence I did as before with the previous thread case?
  6. Shall I submit my defence now?
  7. Hi Guys, I sent a letter requesting a CPR 31.14 from Restons solicitors. This is the reply I got can someone please help me as to how I should respond? Thanks
  8. Hi Guys, I am on ESA because I have arthritis. My wife recently went on a carers course and has now been offered a part time job. I would like to know what change this will have to our benefits? She will be working different hours every week varying from 17 hours one week to 32 hours next week. As well as my fortnightly ESA amount of £227.40 we also receive child tax credit £230 a month and child benefit £80 a month. Do we need to inform the DWP or HMRC or both? Does she need to do more or less hours? I am being given conflicting advice from friends and family so I thought I would ask on the forum. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
  9. Got this from a friend who said I should try this course. What do you guys think? [link removed for checking.]

  12. OK, What course should I go for first? Or should I volunteer for free somewhere?
  13. Thanks for all the replies guys! I do have a degree in Law & Economics a 2.2 from 2003. I just cant seem to find any work. A friend advised to go for this role as I am pretty competent with laptops and PCS. At chiefengineer - Can I PM you for some advice on how I should go forward?
  14. Hi Guys, I would like some advice please. I would like to try and gain entry into the ICT Support technician or service desk job. I would like some advice on how best to go about getting my foot in the door and which courses I should start with? I am 35 years and have been unemployed for 4 years now and am really in need of a job. I do have some experience of working with computers and working on websites. Any advice/ information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
  15. Thanks for all the advice guys. My mum did move out for a year and they have charged her council tax for both properties in that financial year. I will send the complaint letter to stage 2 with a request to answer all the questions mentioned on the previous post. I will let you know what happens.
  16. Hi Guys, My mother received a statutory demand about 3 years ago demanding close to £5000 in council tax which they claim my mother had not paid over the years. We agreed payment to avoid the case going to court and paid all but £600.00 My mother is now receving letters from bailiffs for council tax owed and the amount is over £4000.00. My mother is understandably upset. I wrote to the council and they claim these are more arrears from other years. I will be sending a second letter and taking the complaint to stage two as I am not happy with the way the council has dealt with all of this before I do so I wanted to get some advice/help. I would like some advice on how I should proceed. I would like to know why the council did not attach this amount to the statutory demand? Can I send a letter requesting all information and liability orders against my mother? The council has sent 2 - 3 different account numbers claiming they are all in my mothers name. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
  17. Thanks for the reply guys. If my appeal is not successful do they start paying me once I go for the tribunal?
  18. Hi Guys, Just got a letter stating that I failed my ESA medical and now have to wait for a call before I can appeal under mandatory consideration. I have been told it can be up to 14 days before I can appeal for the tribunal stage. I just had a few questions - 1. I was just wondering if it is worth claiming JSA in the mean time? 2. How long do the DWP usually take before getting back to you? 3. Do they backdate any payments if you decide to go to tribunal appeal? Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks,
  19. Hi Guys, Just a quick update I received a letter from the court asking me to fill in form N180 and return it. Should I tick the yes box for mediation? Thanks
  20. The bailiff has been going to the wrong address. The reason we know this is because we know who the current occupiers are and they have handed us the letters. My Mum has not signed a walking possession The debt has been paid direct to the council. These are new figures and account numbers that the bailiffs have. I believe there has been an error either on the councils part or the bailiffs. Statutory demand only included council tax. My mother has been paying in instalments and could no longer afford the monthly amount they were asking when £700 was left. Dent was only for council tax.
