good talking to people on twitter about it too Sue Marsh ? they saying the same as you guys thanks Mentioned this site in a tweet

should I write to my MP as well ?

Also they've told the CAB that she is not required to attend sick notes not to be contacted again. I have a copy of the email sent to the CAB from SeeTec.

The thing is shes never acctually signed up for this work programme at all just went to a "meeting" to see if she could turn up then was refered to the CAB How do I/we complain ? who do i write to ? Im not good at writing letters

Guess who just phoned ?? Yes you've guessed it SeeTec !! Even after they've been told Mrs P is in the Support Group and is not required to provide sick notes or to be contacted by them, they decide to phone up !! "But we're just phoning to let her know that her sick note is about to run out. If she does not come in she may lose her benefits." To say I am a little upset is the understatement of the year !! I told them in no uncertain terms to not contact again. "But she may lose her benefits" I refer you to the letter of the 4th June that says Mrs P is in the support group "What letter sir ?" Goodbye... Now what do I do ? I feel like taking the letter to them myself and shoving it down their throats !!!! Why don't they believe the my wife is in the support group and is to be left alone.? This is not supporting her !!

Update... ok so after phoning the CAB, they told Seetec that they shouldn't be contacting at all. Seetec told the CAB that they had (conveniently) 'lost' the letter from the DWP that says that she has been put into the support group, and that's why they were phoning. CAB faxed them the letter and confirmed that she did not have to attend Seetec offices. Seetec emailed saying that Mrs P does not required to attend their offices anymore or that any phone calls will be made to Mrs P. In turn CAB have sent a copy of the email to ourselves by post. Also they said if they contact again they will make a complaint to Seetec and the DWP/JCP. I/we should therefore not expect to hear from Seetec again. I take it that's it and can carry on caring for Mrs P without worrying...

anyway I consider this the end of the matter. I have paid all that was asked of me and feel relieved. if they or anyone else try anything funny I know where to turn to. thanks

Final Update. They have sent a letter saying thank you for your payments of £XX:XX and £XX:XX These are the 'missing' payments from February and March, funny that they turned up after I provided proof. At the top of the page in amongst the account details etc there's a line stating Balance: £0:00 I take it this would be the end of the matter entirely...

so she is not required to send anymore sick notes at all...!!! can she request that SeeTec not contact her again ??? she has a meeting with her psychiatrist next week this has just set her back to the beginning after all the hard work of getting her into the support group in the first place !!!

ok im not sure SeeTec have received a letter, they didn't mention a letter. although they did say they knew she was in the support group when she mentioned it to them. I hope they're not trying to trick her into "volunteering" because they will feel my wrath !!!

could you please tell me under which rules/legislation she does not have to attend send sick notes to SeeTec ? also where do I write to the dwp ? do I just write to the local job centre ?

Thank you. I shall ask our CAB caseworker to write a nice letter to them. I'm no good at writing letters. It was also the threat of the loss of benefits that has now sent her back to what she was before in the support group. Thanks Seetec for undoing everything we've worked for !!!

ok just had a call from Seetec to say that my wifes sick/fit note is about to run out. They didn't want to talk to me just her. So this ball was on speakerphone. She told them she is in the Support Group and doesn't want nothing to do with them again. They said it doesn't matter, they need another sick note from the doctor in order to stop her going there. I'm confused. Isn't that the point of the support group to stop her going there and not be bothered by these people. Things were going well and she was happy(ish) for once and now this has set her back to square one she is upset and crying thinking she has to go into the Seetec offices. and now I/we don't know what's going on. I was told by the CAB lady she would not be contacted by Seetec again. She is now under the care of a clinical psychiatrist. She has Borderline Personality Disorder and Aspergers Syndrome. She is taking a new tablet which is Risperidone which makes her very sleepy and she cannot do very much. I just want to know what's going on. Also Seetec say it was just a curtesey call to see how she is doing and they will call every 2 weeks. ??? help !!!

To say I am incandescent with rage at the moment is an understatement !!!

ive written to them asking for a final statement but they haven't sent one. its been over a month since ive written to them asking for it. im just asking what should/could I do now ?

hi me again. its been over a month since ive asked for a final statement of account from Transcom etc what do I do now ?

no ive never had one from them. I've had to phone up and ask for a statement of account from them every 6 months. I know it should be yearly but I like to keep track of what's going on. even then they get upset that I'm asking for a balance of account.

is that £6000 each or between us ? what if I happen to have £12,000 in a safe a home ?

that's what ive requested from them. whether ill get one is another matter. is there anything I could do if they're 'reluctant' to send one ?

ok so I paid off Transcom on the 10th June (yeah I know I know). Today I phoned them to ask if my account with them is settled. Lady said no, the February 2013 payment is missing. I got cut off by her. So I phoned up again asking the same and the guy now says no the March 2013 payment is missing. I go on to explain that I have every counterfoil/payment slip that I've ever paid them. He says send a copy of the March 2013 counterfoil. So I've written a nice letter enclosing a copy of every counterfoil and pay slip I've ever paid into the bank over the past few years. will I hear from them again. if so can I tell them where to go ?

hi its me again... I'm just wondering if its worth setting up a savings account with the back payment received its around £1000 and put it in the bank and just 'forget' about it and add to it. or will we get penalised by having benefits reduced ? maybe I should just put it under the bed then they can't trace it ?

that's blackmail !!

thanks

ok but we don't pay council tax or housing benefit already will this affect her DLA too ?
