We have a Vodafone rep on the forums - I will send an S.O.S on your behalf. However, if you could contact the web team on the email in the post above and when you are given a reference number, post it on this thread, then when the Rep looks in, he has the information to start looking into your query.

How many dogs do you have, what type and age and what sort of accommodation are you in? Then we can see what's best to do to get this sorted out.

Hi there, I have some past NHS experience which may give me some insight into some of the goings on at the moment and, while giving my musings, it might prompt some directions you can go in from here. Regarding the situation of someone pregnant but not being admitted to the gynae ward when admitted with problems connected with asthma - it's a strange one this but, for a long while, there has been a culture of speciality care within the NHS whereby patients are admitted to a ward that is appropriate to their current condition rather than underlying health needs so, someone with a medical issue such as asthma would be admitted to a medical ward and someone with appendicitis will go to a surgical ward, this is irrespective of their also being pregnant. There would be input if needed from an obstetrician but it wouldn't necessarily be appropriate for them to be on an obs & gynae ward where they may not receive optimal care for their immediate health problem. Your wife should be receiving obstetric care and monitoring of the baby while in hospital as it would be deemed as another risk factor for her general health in the same way as the asthma is an added complication of her pregnancy. There could be an aspect of the pregnancy and it's hormones affecting the ligaments and muscles during the pregnancy (which they are supposed to) and therefore affecting pain levels and things like coughing. Also, the simple fact of having that little bump inside her, will be restricting your wife's diaphragm and could be putting additional pressure on her lungs and breathing. It is always possible that your wife does have a viral infection for which there isn't any specific treatment however, that doesn't mean there isn't any symptom management and this may include pain relief (with pregnancy suitable pain relief), steroids under supervision and potentially oxygen therapy to make it easier for her to breathe, Perhaps inhalers could be given as nebulisers instead as this can give improved benefit for certain patients. There is no excuse for your wife to only be seen by a junior doctor however, weekends are far more sparsely staffed by senior registrar's and/or consultants therefore the majority of Drs around would be Senior House Officers or House Officers - though it's always possible that some of these are just weeks or days away from their next promotion due to the rotation manner of staff through the NHS with promotions happening in August and February/March each year. Hopefully now it's the start of the week there will be a 'grand round' where the consultants attend to all patients admitted under their care during the previous week and, out of this ward round, plans for care/treatment can be put into place. You can always contact your wife's midwife team or consultant for them to come and see her from the point of reviewing her pregnancy during this current illness. Regarding the CHC, as this is different to England where we have our PALS departments/teams in hospitals, I can't comment too much about it but it may be worth ringing them again today if you're still not happy with how things are going at the hospital. Also ask to speak to the head of nursing for the department your wife is in - they may become an ally in changing how your wife is treated - they won't want complaints going to the chief exec's office because it reflects as badly on them and their team as it does on the medical staff. Don't be afraid to go over the head of the people you're currently dealing with - sometimes it's the only way to move forward with a complaint. Hopefully today things will start moving and your wife's care will improve now the week's started again and it won't be too long before she starts to feel better. Please report back to let us know how things are going for your wife, Feebee_71

Far too small to see. Needs to be a PDF or much bigger JPEG.

Good advice so far, follow what I hate bailiffs has indicated in post# 5, and pay an amount in to the council direct using thweir online facility, peint off receipts, you can post up what Bristols & Stupor reply to the Acme letter in post 5, and start a Formal complaint regarding the levy which was done solely to garner fees for the bailiff.

A consent order does NOT have to include the clause that failure to meet the payment plan will allow them to enter judgment. You can specify that a failure to pay will only allow them to remove the stay on the claim. If they are confident of their claim, they should have no problem in agreeing. I have done this before with success for a few Caggers. Personally I think they would have settled for a lot less!

I remember reading this report from a Council Tax Investigation into Milton Keynes council for alleged fiddling of in-year council tax collection rates. It might be relevant to this case, especially the following:
