An elderly neighbour has died, leaving just under £10,000 in cash in the house. (No bank account - she didn't like them!) Her family banked it, though, after her death - thinking that was the right thing to do. Now the benefit people are chasing them for extra information... I don't know how she did it, probably a war-time rationing mentality, but she managed to save the money while living on benefits. She only ever claimed what she was told she was entitled to as a widow, living on her own, with no other pensions etc. What will happen now? Did she do something wrong? I can't see why someone (or their family) should be penalised and punished for saving on a meagre income. Will some/all of the money have to be repaid?

Can you? The street light outside my house has been out for two weeks, making it very dark. Two of our cars have been vandalised in that time. One car had its windscreen smashed, the other its wing mirror. This had cost more than £200 to repair so far. Can I claim this back from the council??? Thanks!

A toe-rag smashed my car windscreen last night, leaving the vehicle undrivable. Not only will I lose a day's pay getting it fixed, but my insurance is charging me my full excess to process the repair. Why should I have to pay after falling victim to crime? (I have a crime number etc). Totally, totally unfair!

Many thanks for all your help - I've passed the info along. I asked about the mobility clause and his contract does state that he can be asked to work at any base within the firm....however, the company is not willing to pay the £65 a day it would cost for commuting, nor stump up thousands to rent or buy a new place 200 miles away.

What about JSA? Will he qualify for contribution-based JSA straight away, or will he be sanctioned for refusing a job 200 miles away?

Moving is not really an option. He has kids in important exam years, partner has job here and there are also family ties. (And there are no guarantees that new post won't be made redundant early next year, when further changes are planned...) Reckon he's stuck between a rock and a hard place!

I am writing on behalf of a neighbour who has just been made redundant from his firm after more than 20 years loyal service. Officially he been told that his job is transferring to a base 200 miles away. Unofficially he has found out that his job duties will be carried out by people lucky enough to be still left at the firm. Is this legal? Any information would be welcome.

Nope. Not quite. The original Cahoot loans were sold with typically low interest rates which then shot up when Satan took over Abby National. You can claim back THIS unfair interest from Satan at the moment quite seperately from a ppi claim. Two loads of cash for one loan. You must, however, email the Santander CEO with your unfair interest claim. A short note with your account number and complaint about unfair interest will suffice. Your ppi claim is quite separate and will need to be made in writing.

Martin - what did you mean by that comment. The posts all seemed ok to me.

highlandertom vs. Barclaycard-Cabot
Gazette replied to highlandertom's topic in Debt Collection Agencies
Just one SAR will suffice for both... Or all three if you want. You may find some handy charges or ppi to reclaim! -
The good news is that the Cahoot/Santander is just waiting to pay you out thousands.... First you need to email the CEO and claim back the excessive interest. (Probably a couple of grand) Then you need to get claiming the ppi. You need to SAR Santander to get the details. Santander are fairly quick to respond. You'll probably get the interest back within a month. Two months for ppi.

Parking ticket at a virgin active gym!
Gazette replied to affydaffy's topic in Private Land Parking Enforcement
If you are a member of the gym, or pay for use of facilities like the creche, then I'd kick up a stink with the manager. Might be worth a free session or two ... -
The recommendation to ignore PCNs relates to companies such as Parking Eye, who's letters are merely speculative requests for your money. If you receive a ticket from the council, that is a different matter. They can send in the bailiffs if you don't pay. Get writing and appeal this ticket.

Surely this is fraud and theft. Report her to the police.
-
Why not take a chance and go straight to the top? Email the CEO of 02 at ronan.dunne@o2.com and explain your situation. Chances are your complaint will be passed on to an executive complaints department (usually much more efficient that normal phone drones) and properly dealt with. Good luck!
-
You mentioned that the dispute started in 2004. Is that when you made your last payment? If so, by the time the CCJ was made the debt would have been statue barred.

Have you tried a charge back? Contact you bank and ask to charge back the money, as you did not receive goods/services promised

To stay on the right side of eBay/Paypal you need to use signed for or recorded post. Sad but true. Proof of postage is not proof of delivery.

When was the default registered? If it was in 2006 it should drop off your file this year.

My mother-in-law has been in hospital for two weeks, vomiting and passing blood. She has had several blood transfusions and saline drips, which did little to help. Finally the doctors did a CT scan, but no-one will tell us the results. We know that her ward nurses have been told, but they say they can't tell us - apparently the info has to be given by a doctor. But we are not allowed to talk to one for almost 25 hours as none available. Don't we have any rights here?

Problem with mobile phone contract from Carphone Warehouse
Gazette replied to K301982P's topic in Telecoms - mobile or fixed
If push comes to shove why not flog it on eBay? Your type of phone is going for 460-ish. Use the money to buy the phone you really want. -
