help needed to prepare for benefit fraud interview

[jabba jones]

I attended the interview under caution with my father as I could not afford a solicitor.

All I can say was that it was awlfull it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it,

My Father had to interupt twice as the interviewer was getting aggressive (banging on the table) and slamming papers infront of me, they talked to me like ****, they had no photo or video edvidence they went on electrorol info and credit files and as my x partner came and went his name was bound to be on them.

They went all the way back to my previous claim back in 2004-2006 and asked about him being on electro roll and credit file.

Also because I still use my married name and my maiden name,- passport in maiden and driving licence in married, some bills in maiden and some bills in married, I have only done this thou confussion I am still not sure what name I should be using, they have also accused me of emmigrating whilst still claiming and lied in the interview by saying I came off benefits after I had spoken to them and was aware i was being invetigated, I am absolutly possitive it was the other way around and told them that I had no job house nor money behind me I wasn't sure if I was going to make a go of things or not untill I had a way of living.

What gets to me is that I had Declared when my ex stayed at my house to my complience officer when I had my baby (prem) I had to stay in hospital and my ex stayed at my house with our children. they had a go at me for not telling them about changes in cirumstances and not telling them about having the baby, I answered that I did tell them I declared it to mr ..... the complience officer I signed the statment of declaration!

they responded that they are not the job centre and that I commited an offence because I never told them! and yet where was the interview under caution held? at the job centre, and they expect people not to get confussed.??

Come the end we asked the interview to be stopped as they were trying to put words in my mouth and not letting me answer the questions. my interviewer responded that only she can decide when to end the interview so I Said I wont be answering any more questions, she told me I had to I refused and she said she had enough to charge me and read me my rights again. she then threatened (still on tape) that if I dont admit to anything now that she will speak to all my neighbours friends and family and what will they say I responded the truth if they new me well enough. and It Ended there. I am not sure what to do next do I need to send in any evidence? should I get copy of the tapes? should I complain? and how long aprox will I need to wait for a response?

thanks for taking your time to read this.

 

If what you have said is true, with the banging on the desk & refusal to stop the interview then there has been a clear breach of the PACE procedure.

Were you given the caution at the start of the IUC? Was it explained to you that you were not under arrest & were free to leave at any time?

 

Ask for a copy of the tape (you should have been given a form explaining how you can do this at the end of the IUC) & when you’ve listened to it, if you still feel the same write a letter of complaint to the local DWP fraud manager.
