Hello there, I found out today that I had been sanctioned for failing to attend a work program appointment on the 7th of march. I didn't attend this because on the 6th I was given a letter at the job centre telling me my time on the work program had finished. I also mentioned to the advisers on three separate occasions that the work program (pinnacle people) keep sending me letters asking me to attend. I was told to ignore them. So today I find out I have been sanctioned until the 16th. I thought I would just try and document this somewhere on the internet as I couldn't find anyone with a similar case to mine. My adviser told me to fill out a DR7 form. Also does anyone have any idea how long these things take to process.

hi, we reported that our vodafones had stopped working a month ago, no updates from them since and the best advice offered at the time was "do you have any other mobiles? yes, well use that" and after a 90 minute call today that i have had to pay for i still have no idea whats going on. can i use a break in service to cancel my contract? we have 5 numbers with vodafone and all are affected.... ...funniest thing was the guy from voda, when i phoned to tell about lack of any service asked why i didnt call them from my voda handset as it would have been free.. ..can you beleive it!!

Hello guys, I was wondering if you can help me. We live in parking permit zone and i have just bought a car, went to the post office and got it taxed(disabled) and the post office sent the logbook under my name as the car is now taxed as disabled. My wife and son are both disabled. My wife has got a blue badge where as my son is autistic. He is 8 years old and dont wanna sit in the back seat and the problem is that as soon as the car is parked he wants to open the driver door and run out so i have to be really quick to stop him running so as soon as i park the car i run out of driver side to get hold of my son. Now last week we came home from shopping and i parked the car outside my house. My son as usual was trying to run out and as i was worried i ran out to get hold of him and in all that i forgot to to display the blue badge on my car. As we are waiting for the logbook to come from dvla i cannot apply for the parking permit. The next day i had to go out and found that there was a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice) on the car. Contravention Code : 12 Contravention : PARKED IN A RESIDENTS' OR SHARED USE PARKING PLACE OR ZONE WITHOUT EITHER CLEARLY DISPLAYING A VALID PERMIT OR VOUCHER OR PAY AND DISPLAY TICKET ISSUED FOR THAT PLACE. OR WITHOUT PAYMENT OF THE PARKING CHARGE. As the car is taxed as disabled, i was wondering if we can appeal the pcn. I know that the blue badge should be displayed but as i got autistic child i was wondering if i can appeal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I recently parked in a Disabled Parking Bay policed by my local Council , Maidstone. I like many others hide the Blue Badge to prevent theft and so must remember to get it from its hiding place. On this occasion I forget as I had just received a disturbing letter and went to discuss this with Citizens Advice. When I returned to my car a Fixed Penalty Notice fpn had been issued for failing to display the Blue Badge. Although I showed the Council that I had a valid badge, the fine remains payable. What I would like to know is the actual Offence and under which piece of legislation the Offence of Failing to display a Disabled Badge permits the issuing of a fixed penalty notice. I thought that once it was ascertained that there was a legal right to park in the bay that the fpn would be cancelled, so as the council has not, what is the offence and what legislation is being used to obtain extra cash? I have looked at the Road Traffic Regulations 1984 but I believe this act must be out of date as it discusses the Orange Badge and 'her' as the Secretary of Transport. I only have a few days to make the payment so any replies would be most welcome. Thank you

I have just received three letters from the DWP saying that they sent me out an appointement on for the 3rd of July to attend a ATOS assesment, and that they wrote to me to tell me that I failed to attend. I have received nothing at all from either ATOS or the DWP for either the meeting or the letter telling me I failed to attend. They are now saying my ETA has stopped as I am fit to work because I did not attend the meeting that I knew nothing about. This happened last year but I found out about it on the phone for a different reason and was able to attend. has anyone any idea what I do now...

Ok I have spent, like many others, in excess of 3 decades being chased and bullied by DVLA for crimes and offenses that i have not committed. 1) Just in the last 12 months DVLA failed to explain to a court why they claimed that my driving license had been revoked back in 2006 resulting in me being charged with driving without a license or insurance --------- I received an absolute discharge but it cost me well in excess of £1000 and loads of hassle, stress etc plus it caused severe stress to my severely disabled ward of care and her disabled son impacting, seriously, on both of their medical conditions. 2)They have given my details out without cause or justification in relation to a vehicle that I no longer own and there is irrefutable proof in their possession that someone else is responsible for the vehicle in question. 3) Now they are taking me to court for failing to notify them of a change of keeper for another vehicle over a year ago. This vehicle is a vehicle that I never owned but i was the 'responsible' person as it was a company vehicle. However, (a) this vehicle became the responsibility of the official Receiver when the company that it was registered to went bankrupt and my employment with them ceased as did my legal responsibility. (b) they where notified at the time and this was way back in 2008. Now they are claiming that someone applied for a V5c in December 2011 and I failed to tell them I had sold the vehicle. MUPPET'S!!!! As usual DVLA have applied their normal bullying tactics but that doesn't work with me anymore. So, we are going to court. I am not going to give dates or venues here because not everyone reading public forums have honest intentions I am well aware of all the relevant statutes etc and, of course, the Kennedy case and I have spent the last 3 weeks trawling this forum and others reading the thousands of posts from similar victims. Until now, like most members of the public,I was not fully aware of the size of this problem. Originally it had been my intent to plead not guilty, force DVLA to prove my guilt by statute (which is impossible for them to do BTW), and walk out of the court with my costs (well some of them anyway) However, having spent all this time researching then my attitude is changed. THIS NEEDS TO GO TO CROWN FOR A RULING Herein lies the problem --- How to get this into Crown? Kennedy was one of the closest I found but still no ruling because DVLA decided, after wasting money from the public purse for a case in the first place, to offer no evidence when Kennedy went to Crown for appeal. A common practice it would seem I can find no circumstances where i can ask a Magistrate to send this case to crown for trial. A summary only conviction that ends in a criminal record, it seems, can only be heard in Magistrates court with no right to ask for trail by jury ????? If I offer a weak defense and don't put up a fight I suppose i can get a guilty verdict and then appeal to Crown against conviction but then DVLA will pull the same stunt and offer no evidence on appeal so there will still be no ruling. There has to be a way to get this heard properly and case law to be established by a ruling but i am running out of ideas so HELP PLEASE Your ideas appreciated I am willing to fight this, not just for me------ that bit is easy I can tie the prosecutor in legal knots and have fun doing it but it is to no use to anyone else unless we can all, somehow, get these cases into case history so that DVLA has to behave and stop the bullying tactics which they use to raise revenue for their own sick organization. One further note. Even if i fail I will travel from Lands End to John O Groats to help anyone else to achieve the same end. I have had enough DVLA has cost me personally over £10,000 during the last 2 decades and I have emails and complaint letters going back to the 1980's about things that DVLA have done to me including 3 separate issues with my driving license. They need to be bought to task I know there are folk on this forum of the same mind and I know that there are some of you with far more knowledge of the law than myself. So how about some of us putting our heads together and going for this? Your 'sensible please' replies welcome

I moved my bank account and decided to also cancel my CreditExpert credit-report subscription. I sent them an email informing them that I was cancelling and they sent me an email saying I *had* to call them and answer questions about why I'm cancelling and also give feedback about their service. So far as I'm concerned the I sent email should suffice. Can they put a default on my credit record for this ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I need some help and advice about ESA. I have been on ESA in the support group for about 3 months, I had previously claimed incapacity Benefit for 8 years. My illness being ptsd, agraphobia and social anxiety. I had been applying for part time jobs because I thought I was capable of doing them and with DLA and working tax credits, I would have enough to live on. I have been doing 12 hours a week voluntary work too. A full time job came up that seemed quite reasonable so I applied, thinking I wouldn't get it. I was offered the job and I started on Monday. My doctor put me on medication to help get me through the initial anxieties and struggles that I am facing. They're helping but I just cannot sleep. Quite literally sleeping 2 to 3 hours per night. I am thinking of leaving the job because 40 hours is just too much for me to cope with and I have pushed myself too far. I'm not eating, sleeping and I am becoming depressed. My question is, can I fast track back onto my ESA claim or will I have to start all over again. My doctor will support me with my claim.

After 2 October, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will use its legal powers to pursue those who have failed to submit self-assessment forms and have tax payments outstanding. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19798919
