Dear all, I had an interview for a team manager position in a learning difficulties service charity organization on the 9th of March 2015. The employer called me later in the day and offered me the position which i accepted. The employer sent me the conditional job letter offer. The HR manager called and emailed me, before they received the references, saying that "unfortunately the job position was withdrawn because the funding to support the job was not more available." If it can be useful , i am adding this information- I am aware that my current manager knows the new employer`s manager and that the two different organizations are based in the same borough.Should i be suspicious about my current manager as she might have spoken over the phone with the new employer`s manager before sending out the reference? Now, how can be possible that after about 3 days that the references went out the job funding was not more available? Should HR have had the job funding approved before adverting the position on The Guardian? Can i take any legal action? Any suggestion will be very much appreciated. Charlie -
Hi im new here so i apoligies if this is in the rong section. Please some one give me some advice. I am privately renting a property. When i first moved in it was me my partner and my son. Due to some difficult circumstances me and my partner have seperated. I informed the estate agent it will just be me and my son living at the property. They called the landlord and he had no problem with this. Now the estate agent want to do a brand new tenancy agreement with new fees. Now im happy to pay fees for a new tenancy agreement However they have said they need to re-refernce check me of a charge of £150, and also re reference check my guarantor of a fee of £100. Now when i first moved in i already payed for these checks and dont they still stand ? nothings changed apart from my partner moving out so why should my guarantor have to be re checked when he was liable for full rent anyway? So they have sent me a section 21 notice to vacate in 2 months saying the landlord wants me out. However the landlord has said its fine they just want me out because i refuse to pay for checks ive already payed for?. In the section 21 it has also said i need to pay for proffesional carpet and curtain cleaning and show them invoices for this . There says nothing of the sort in my tenancy agreement just that it should all be the same as the pictures in the inventory. Now i have 2 months to either pay which i dont see why i should pay for something ive already payed for a year ago. Or be made to move?. Also my deposit is in a deposit scheme so if i find another private rental how does it work with my deposit being transferd? Sorry for such a long thread just need some advice? are the estate agent allowed to do this? when the landlord is happy for me to remain in the property with my son?. -

Hi everyone, looking for some help on where to go now! My car was lifted by a logbook loan company today (Loans 2 go) apparently the previous owner took out a log book loan on the vehicle in March 2013. I bought the vehicle in May 2013 and had no correspondance sent from Loans 2 go to inform me that there was any outstanding finance on the vehicle. The guy who was loading my car onto his truck was the first I knew about it. I have spoken with Loans to go they say there is a £3000 loan outstanding (original loan was £650) and that I need to pay that to get the vehicle back. However the guy that sold it to me had the logbook (must of applied for a duplicate as L2G have a log book in their possession) and the check I did on my phone never flagged anything up as outstanding (I have since learnt these checks do not include finance information). I bought this car in good faith it was clean, he had a log book and all the numbers matched etc. What can I do who can I speak to to deal with this for me anything I say to them falls on deaf ears. We cannot afford a solicitor to deal with this I also want to send them copies of the receipts for the parts we bought for the vehicle which we want back as legally I own them!! Anyone know what I can do??? -
Hello, can anyone help? I had an old telephone bill with BT that I was originally paying £1 a month to clear. I agreed to pay the full amount on the 08/11/14 but when I telephoned the company I had made this agreement with they had already sent it back to BT and then BT have sold it onto another debt recovery agency which has now effected my credit score. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks -
Hi, Lowell Portforlio 1 LTD made a claim against me in the North Hampton County Court... To cut a long story short Lowell discontinued the case and it was set aside by the courts. There is no CCJ on my credit file for the case BUT it still shows as a default.... I would have thought that the CCJ and anything associated with it should be removed from the file.. I contacted the Registry and they informed me that they only can take remove CCJ's not the default.. Is there a template letter that i can write to Lowell to let them know i have a Certificate of satisfaction/Cancellation and why is this still on my credit report as a default? thank you

I wanted to cancel my broadband / phone line service with Virgin. I phoned up to cancel a few months ago but was told of the cancellation fees so I didn't bother. I have recently found that I could cancel without charge because they are putting the prices up in February. But apparently you can only cancel a month after they first tell you about the price increase. The problem is they emailed me about it in November, so now the month has passed. I was wondering if there is any way that I could still cancel without any charge? -
Sorry if I've posted in the wrong forum, I'm a new poster and couldn't really see a forum title that matched my problem! CCJ because of domestic violence. Back in 2008 I fled my marital home after years of abuse. All of the bills were in my sole name except Southern Water and although I cancelled these bills, it was done in a hurry with a quick phone call. Unfortunately, I wasn't in a position to check that this was effective and Southern Water didn't cancel my name from the joint bill. I went into a “safe” house and my ex-husband went to jail on firearms charges. As part of my divorce, my name was changed. I have now rebuilt my life in a new town, but my ex, who still lives in our old home, hasn't been paying the Southern Water bills. About 4 years ago Southern Water obtained a CCJ and are now sending me bills at my new “safe” address and have passed this address to debt collectors. Luckily, the bills are in my old name and the account is still joint. I have two concerns, the first is that my ex may find my present address and the second being how do I get Southern Water to stop charging me for something I'm not using? Not too worried about the CCJ, I can't afford credit and I own nothing! But if I could get it to go away, that would be a nice bonus.I'm worried that by writing to Southern Water to explain the situation, I may just be confirming my address and then be “doorstepped” or even that my ex will find my new address. I'm also surprised that after changing my name via deed poll on police advice, debt collectors have still linked my old name with my new address, which is in my new name, perhaps the solicitor didn't perform the change correctly? Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

Hi, I have just found out that my ESA (WRAG) was stopped because I put in an appeal about being put into the wrong work group. I was then told that I could not appeal as time limit had ran out. NOwhere in any of my paperwork did it say I could appeal if decision was wrong. So I sent in a letter with a letter from consultant at the hospital as I feel that I am in the wrong group and being hounded by the job centre to keep going there to see my adviser. She then keeps telling me I can do training courses for Plumbing, electrics etc., Now this is considering I have COPD Arthritis in both hips and carpel tunnel syndrome and suffer from depression and raynauds.All confirmed by the hospital. They have now said that it will start and be in my account on the 28th Jan. Can they stop it even if I cant appeal. The last appt at the job centre I could not attend and cancelled as I was ill and said I could provide proof of this. I was also told that I could send in a letter and say that I did not appeal in the time limit as I was not informed. Will they stop my money again while this is going on? How many interviews do you have to attend at the job centre with an advisor I have had 10 now and missed the 11th. Also been told that my review is due around october is it worth holding out till then and then put every bit of evidence with it or send in letter. Thanks for your help

Hi I have a serious problem. My incapacity benefit was stopped on the 4th of April, the first I knew was last week when it wasn't paid into my bank account (noticed on Friday 19th). Spoke to DWP today and they informed that it's because I didn't attend an ATOS assessment in Feb. The problem is... ATOS have never informed me of any appointments and this is the 2nd time it's happened in about 6 months. I even told the DWP that I wanted to make an official complaint about the failure to inform me. I live alone, no one else has access to my mail. If I'd received a letter I'd know about it and I put all appts on my calendar so I don't forget about them. These are duplicated onto my gmail calendar and I get a notification n my phone to remind me aswell. But the first I know of these appts is when I get the 'did not attend form' from DWP afterwards. The DWP didn't even send me a letter telling me it had been suspended. I am in full on anxiety/panic mode, over drawn at the bank and don't even have money to purchase food I desperately need help and advice on what to do. -
More support for the advice that you should not ignore completely but that you should make it clear that you are up for a fight. Here are some heavily redacted extracts:- Full horrible story here:- http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/law/article3698204.ece# Shocking.

A disabled woman was barred from a tribunal to decide whether she was entitled to benefits – because she was in a wheelchair. Sylvia Middleton, 65, was turned away by security staff in case a fire broke out in the five-storey building. It later emerged that wheelchair users have been denied entry to Acorn House in Basildon, Essex, for three months over the misplaced health and safety concerns. They included others attending disability tribunals and workers attempting to visit offices in the mixed-use block. ‘They said they couldn’t guarantee my safety and they didn’t let my wheelchair upstairs,’ said Miss Middleton, who was summoned to the fourth-floor hearing by the Department for Work and Pensions to be reassessed for Disability Living Allowance. ‘Why are they holding disability tribunals in a building disabled people aren’t allowed in?’ Divorcée Miss Middleton has been without her £50-a-week payments since December 2011 when they were suspended after an ‘administration error’. She has been managing on her £140-a-week pension in her two-bedroom bungalow in Pitsea, Essex, while waiting for the benefit to be reinstated. After she and her son, Peter, were refused entry on February 2 she was told she would have to wait another two months for her case to be heard – this time 12 miles away in Southend.

my debitcard recently got refused when paying for shopping obv on a tight budget, but i knew i had money left got back home looked at my online portal found a payment called Amazon prime for £49 debited 28/1/13 at xmas i got given a £50 amazon gift card/voucher as a thank you by someone i looked back at the emails/order details when i used the giftcard on 2.12.12 it had bit right at the bottom about auto sign-up to amazon prime scheme if i did not cancel in 30days. bit cheeky. but had info to cancel membership etc straight on the website to amazon unticked and cancelled it, however gave no indication about the return of the money taken. on the phone to amazon explained the scenario operator on a very poor IP phone sounding like a dalek stated that because i had purchased previously [2011!!] and paid by the debitcard [even though that item was super saver free postage] i had enrolled myself in the prime scheme. any subsequent orders activated the prime scheme and thus the card give almost 2 yrs before was debited with the £50 [incidently the £50 item i just order was free postage too on the ad] stated i was none to pleased about this, a bit of a sharp practice after a wee bit of to'n'fro, where i was told there is nothing that can be done i needed to read the small print!! i said ok i'll goto my bank and get it back under the chargeback scheme 'we won't allow that' said the bod.. i said you've no choice, you can't just decide almost 2yrs later to debit a card without any notification. said email was sent on the 3rd jan i said no nothing received etc etc went over again how can you charge me £50 for this prime scheme about instant express postage when both the items i've had from them were FREE POSTAGE. eventually got somewhere when i said i was going to terminate the call and expose them on their twitter feed and do a chargeback. told the money had been recredited there and then. i'll wait and see if it appears if not watchout amazon..incoming!! after all that i did a quick look around and found lots of people have had this problem so if you've ever used amazon and given them your card number and then ordered again check your bank statement carefully.

Hi, I recently brought an ET cliam against my employer for unpaid holiday pay and unlawful deductions from wages. i was employed at the time and in their ET3 response they also stated that my employment was continuing. They have done nothing but lie and deny everything about the claim saying that I am not owed anything, even though I can prove that I am. The other week my solicitor sent a letter to their solicitors basically blowing their defense apart, no doubt this annoyed them. The other day I was told that it was not appropriate for me to be in the wiorkplace whilst this claim was on going. To clarify, I work for a charity and I was volunteering as well as doing paid work. They have basiclaly told me I cannot volunteer and i will probably get no work either, so it looks like I have been dismissed with no notice nad without good reason. I have been employed since March 2011. Can I add a claim for unfair dismissal into the current claim or would I need to make a new claim? Also do you think that their behaviour would go agains tthem at the ET? Thanks

Hi, My partner has recently become unable to work due to ill health so I decided to apply for a temporary job with a supermarket chain just to earn some extra money on the lead up to christmas. I currently work full time, so on seeing the job advertised as temporary, part time 12 hours per week, this was ideal for me as it kept me in compliance with the working time directive etc. The job was advertised as 12 hours per week and the shift pattern over two weeks was shown as Week 1 Sun 12:15-16:15 Mon 17:00-21:00 Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat 17:00-21:00 Week 2 Sun Mon Tue 17:30-21:30 Wed Thur Fri 18:30-22:30 Sat 08:00 -12:00 These hours all fit very well around my full time job commitments so I filled in the application and completed an online assessment. There were also other hours available over the Week 1/Week 2 pattern but i applied for this one as it had more weekend working which suited me better. I was then called for an interview/assessment which I attended, this took about 1 hour 20 mins in total. At the interview, I was told that I would be expected to work boxing day and new years eve, which I agreed to do as these would be none working days in my full time job so not causing me a problem and I would be glad of the extra cash. I received notification yesterday that I was unsuccessful so called for feedback and was told, my interview and assessment were fine but it was due to the fact that I am not flexible as I work full time in another job and they wanted someone who would be able to work full time on the 2 or 3 weeks leading up to Christmas. I said, that they cannot do that as they advertised a 12 hours a week job, they can't just change their mind like that. But they said all of the other applicants do not work so they are flexible with working full time on the lead up to christmas. Does anyone have some advice? I am due to speak to the HR manager tomorrow (Friday). They are saying that it should of been explained at interview about working full time on the lead up to christmas, but i know for sure only boxing day and new years eve were mentioned. Hope someone can help for I am informed ready for tomorrow. Thank you gavin -
I injured my knee two and half weeks ago and I am due to go into hospital shortly. I have attended work on crutches during this time but last week my employers told me that I would need to get a certificate from my doctor to say I was fit for work. I duly went to the doctor who advised that he would not do this as he had not signed me off work and I hadn't been on the sick, he did however provide me with a written letter which stated that I was happy and felt healthy enough to attend work for the two and half weeks since the injury. I attended work on Friday 19th Oct to be told that if I attended work again on Monday I would be told to leave the premises due to me using crutches as they felt they were a health and safety issue to myself and my colleagues. I am an admin worker in an office and I am sat at my desk only getting up to use the facilities that I require throughout the working day. I want to know if they have the right to stop me going onto the premises, they have not given me any written documentation explaining the reasons why they will not allow me into the office and I am afraid that if I do not attend then, this will go against my sickness record and as I will be off work after the operation then this will be another mark against my sickness record.
