Can anyone out there give me ten thousand pounds, me and family are broke!!?

Try having a clear out %26amp; sell on car boots, thats what i%26#039;m doing to make ends meet. (you%26#039;ll find neighbours give you their old stuff to get rid of too) :-)

If anyone is in a giving mood i could use some extra cash too.

;-)

nice try

Try the lottery, you never know!

That%26#039;s why we love capitalism, Sink or Swim.

Most people sink in the end.

Why don%26#039;t you do a grage sale. you can sell junks from your home. You will gain cash in minutes if you continue to success.

Who cares!. I hear cardboard boxes are very comfortable this time of year to live in!

Can anyone out there give me ten thousand pounds, me and family are broke!!?

Why have you had them stopped?

My advice would be to speak to them about your circumstances and ask for help, there are companies out there that will help you with your debt, it lowers your credit rating but is worth it if you%26#039;re scared of losing your house.

Go onto the search engine and type in Martins money tips. Everything from budgeting to information on what you can claim is on there, it%26#039;s helped me out heaps and am now in a very stable financial position.

You have to get right onto it, cause the real world doesn%26#039;t give hand outs, they only tell you what they want you to know, like I was unaware if you are at college you can claim for education allowance. Good luck to you and your family, I hope I%26#039;ve helped.

Can anyone out there give me ten thousand pounds, me and family are broke!!?

Yeah, if you get someone to give me 20,000 then I shall give you 10,000 of it. It%26#039;s a deal.

Secondly, if you really are stuck then don%26#039;t depend on others. It doesn%26#039;t work. There are very few people out there who are just walking around looking to help people.

Thirdly, it is very difficult to help people as an individual often gets hurt when helping.

Fourthly, I have been up there with the best and down in the gutter and know that The Lord sent Angels to me (people)on several occasions to help me because I talked to him. He did not magic me out of the hole but gave me blades of grass to slowly get a grasp on to haul myself up again. Jesus loves you and will help if you talk to him sincerely.

If you really are down then consider why? Don%26#039;t blame other%26#039;s, and then decide what YOU can do about it. If you are pulling the wool over peoples eyes then be ashamed of yourself. When I was down it was because I had turned away from the Lord and was punished. It really hurt.

Maybe you could trade your PC for spelling and grammar lessons.

Why can't the govt address a common need like small business?

Instead of infighting and touting issues that have little affect on most americans why can%26#039;t politicians address something common to all of us. Small business creates 90% of the jobs in America..it%26#039;s real, it%26#039;s tangible, it cross political boundaries.

Why isn%26#039;t there more help for small business in the form of tax credits (like walmart gets)? Isn%26#039;t there an easy way to provide a capital infusion for all small businesses based on their size...say $5000 per employee? Wouldn%26#039;t this make our economy stronger? These are the people creating jobs and making capitalism work.

Why can%26#039;t the govt address a common need like small business?

Small business is not the big time contributors like the Oil, Pharmaceutical, and Insurance industries. You gotta be a sugar daddy to get respect from this administration

Studant nurses in U.K. How do you cope financially?

I%26#039;m a single parent looking to train as a nurse. I know about the bursary but is it enough to live on? Will I be elegible for housing benifets, tax credits etc? Thanks in advance for all advice. 閳?br>Studant nurses in U.K. How do you cope financially?

You can also apply for a hardship fund until the bursary comes through.

We are receiving benefits at the moment and once i receive my bursary i have to let the job centre etc know about it to see if these are affected or not.

Studant nurses in U.K. How do you cope financially?

The best thing to do is contact the CAB or local benefits office for advice.

Good for you wanting to train to be a nurse, its not a job I could do.

Hope it goes well.

Studant nurses in U.K. How do you cope financially?

I don%26#039;t know much about this topic but you can read this articles about career with titles %26quot;Manage your finance%26quot;. I hope it can help you.

Below is the site address.

Studant nurses in U.K. How do you cope financially?

I know you are in for a tough time training while bringing up kids. A good place to look is the nurses union as they will give you good advice. I know I could never do anything like that as it does not look a great job, unappreciated assaulted underpaid, and lots of hard work, (totally the wrong way round, but that is how society seems to be!)

Also look at what I do it might help to make ends meet while you are improving society.

Studant nurses in U.K. How do you cope financially?

The bursary is rubbish, true, but if you have children you could be entitled to extra allowances. You wouldnt get working tax credit, as they consider you not to be working. They told me that if I worked for 16hrs a week whilst studying I could get WTC, but couldnt tell me where to find another 16 hours, with 37.5hrs a week clinical placements, coursework and 2 children. Most students nurses I work with do any agency shifts they can get (as a nursing auxiliary), but you need 6 months experience before agencies will take you on. From my own experience, I%26#039;d get experience first working full time as an auxiliary to find out if you like it, not everyone is prepared for 13 hours shifts, cleaning up incontinence, cleaning other peoples dentures and feet, the challanging behaviour you get from patients and relatives and the fact that you rarely hear thank you. You%26#039;ll find out how you would cope with working nights, weekends and christmas, not easy as a single parent, do you have good family support? But you will earn a lot more money as an auxiliary than you would get on a bursary and would have a better chance getting into uni with good clinical experience behind you. And, before you go near uni, buy a dictionary, %26#039;studant%26#039;? LOL!! But good luck, thats the route I took, and love it.

Is a recording on a mobile phone admissable as evidence?

I am a tenant of a social landlord and become embroiled in litigation over an issue of damp and mould damage to my property. I have received a defence which claims the cause of the dampness was due to me being in breach of my tenancy agreement. My case is that the landlord; the members of the management and maintenance committees regularly breach their own rules and regulations, to the extent that they sought to rig the results of a raffle! Evidence of this was recorded surreptitiously, but is of high quality.

I have informed my landlords legal representatives of the existence of this recording.

Can this be entered as evidence in a fast track claim in the district court? What is the correct process?

Would it be ethical for the landlords lawyers to ban the use of this in court?

Must I submit a copy of the recording to the lawyers and the court before the hearing?

I am eligible for working tax credits, can I get any legal advice? Where? CAB is not very helpful

Is a recording on a mobile phone admissable as evidence?

Assuming the recording was not obtained illegally, as in against a statute against recording someone without their knowledge, the recording MAY be admissable if it is properly authenticated before being admitted into evidence. That means the person who recorded the conversation must testify that they recorded it, that recording presented in Court is in fact the same recording, and that it is an accurate representation of the conversation recorded.

Is a recording on a mobile phone admissable as evidence?

You can only use a recording as evidence if the other party is aware they are being recorded.

Is a recording on a mobile phone admissable as evidence?

I saw someone on daytime court TV play a cellphone recording as evidence, so certainly the format is acceptable.

Is a recording on a mobile phone admissable as evidence?

I think the recording would be admissible as far as it itself is concerned but I dont think that it is pertinent to the case at hand and is not the real issue here. Why would this be a valid defense. Just because they have broken the rules doesn%26#039;t mean that you breeching the agreement is OK. That would be like someone showing up for court with a recording of a police office speeding to get out of their speeding ticket that is not how it works. One person%26#039;s wrong actions does not justify anothers.

I think that for this particular case that the landlord%26#039;s lawyers can have the recording ruled inadmissible, not because that the recording in and of itself is no good, but because it has nothing to do with the mold issue which is what this case is about. So I dont think you have much of a chance of using their actions to justify yours.

Now on the other hand if you truly have a good recording showing your landlord %26quot;rigging%26quot; a raffle then that might just prompt them to cut a deal with you and settle out of court. Be careful with any %26quot;blackmail%26quot; issues though.

Is a recording on a mobile phone admissable as evidence?

It would be admissible as evidence if it were relevant to the case, which it probably isn%26#039;t.

On a side note, your argument that the management regularly breached their own rules and regulations is ridiculous and is probably not going to hold up in court. Your lawyer is taking you for a ride on a hopeless case.

What can the UK Government do to better support young families trying to make their way?

Are tax credits the answer?

Or what about more training placements, grants for young families to pay training fees and set themselves up in business so that they can support their children by earning a fair wage?

Affordable childcare? More Social Housing to take the pressure of people feeling they have to commit to a mortgage? Assisted homebuying?

Much better to up the personal allowance from the measly 鎷?00 a week it is. That would help the lower paid immediately.

What can the UK Government do to better support young families trying to make their way?

Tax credits are not the answer as they only encourage people not to earn enough. Once you get to a ce5rtain level of earning every extrta pound you earn is taken away from the tax credit. And once you go over a magic figure (not sure what it is) it all goes.

The tax allowance system needs to be addressed to allow people earning to keep more of what they earn instead of having 40% of it stolen by the tax system.

Tax breaks for child care would also help

The problem with the tax credit system is that it is too complicated for both parties. Unfortunately it is the families that are suffering becasuse of the mistakes that are made. It needs to be scrapped and set-up again from scratch. I don%26#039;t know alot about the subject but it seems to me that the minimum wage does not cover the cost of living if the government don%26#039;t address this situation soon things are going to go **** up in a big way.

Jzd can you help me with advice?

i am facing prosecution in the uk for overclaiming working tax credits by not notifying of a change in circumstances ie my partner living with me, what do you think the likely outcome will be in court, i am 31 have a responsible job, a child, never been in trouble in my life and am not a dishonest person. i am able to repay the money back to the inland revenue as in full time employment. Will i go to prison???

Jzd can you help me with advice?

I very much doubt that you will go to prison. It will depend on many things but if you repay the money and it is your first offence you should be OK.

See a solicitor for advice ( the first 30Min%26#039;s is usually free)

They deal with lots of cases and can usually predict the out come of a case before it goes to court !!!!

Jzd can you help me with advice?

I would doubt very much you will go to prison! I use to work for a local authority prosecuting overpayment of benefits and in my experience, it is most likely that they will give you a compensation order to pay back the amount of the overpayment. You may get a probation order as well or perhaps have to do some community service, but I think it is more likely you will get a fine and a slap on the wrist.

How can I keep better tax records this year?

I%26#039;m single, self-employed, doubtful and scared of audit if I claim a home office, travel a lot for work (car, plane, hotels), have to eat on the road a lot, but usually alone, have a 401(k), member of professional associations, medium credit card debt, minor bits of work equipment, moving from Los Angeles to New York this year.

I welcome general hints but especially interested in links to more complete resources.

How can I keep better tax records this year?

If you don%26#039;t want to spring for software you can use excel to keep track of expenses and revenues. A home office does not have to be separate. You basically take the percentage of square feet you use of your home as your office and that percentage is what you will use to calculate how much of your electric bill, rent or mortgage, telephone, internet access, and other home expenses you can deduct for you business. You need to keep mileage records as well as any receipts while traveling. Any money that is spent on your business needs to be kept in some form. You can also deduct for your vehicle, depreciation on equipment, and moving expenses. Just keep everything that pertains to your business and I would take it to a credible CPA or someone with an Accounting degree and they know how to interpret the IRS code. I would do this especially if your business is growing and actually making money and if you expect to hire more employees. This way you will have a business relationship with an accountant that can help you with payroll as well. Good luck

How can I keep better tax records this year?

Depending on what tools you already have the biggest thing I would recommend is keeping track of your receipts. Go to Walmart and buy a file filder that is portable, fexible and allows you to sort by expenses. I would also recommend using software like Quicken or Microsoft Money so you can really track things. It%26#039;s isn%26#039;t hard to do, and I think once you get into the habit you%26#039;ll find it takes very little effort.

How can I keep better tax records this year?

I suggest that you use either Quicken or Quickbooks. Quicken can be used for business and personal finances, Quickbooks is generally just for business.

I would suggest also that you keep as many receipt es as possible. You should work with a good CPA to get you set-up for what you will need to keep track of for you business as well as your personal tax items. Your business account should be separate from your personal accounts.

If you spent money to earn money deduct it. I would not worry about an audit unless you are always losing money. An audit is concerned with your having reported your receipts and expenses properly, it is not an evaluation of how efficient you run your business. The travel and meals needs to be receipted as much as possible, you need to show who, what, when, where and why the expense was incurred.

Since you are moving I would keep track of the items you have while in CA and the items you have while in NY. You will need this in order to prepare the two state returns. Moving expenses go to the state you are moving to not the state you are moving from.

Good Luck.

How can I keep better tax records this year?

i have a daycare in my home and i am able to claim 1/3 of my rent on my taxes so you might want to look into that when the time comes,keep all your receipts even co-payments for docs visits,everything.

How can I keep better tax records this year?

Put your checking and credit cards on Quicken or MS Money and save your receipts.

Please can anyone advise me on child support and incapcity benefit????

go to your tax person and ask. The best way to find this answer is to consult a professional.

Please can anyone advise me on child support and incapcity benefit????

That does not sound like a US tax question. There is no %26quot;incapacity benefit%26quot; or %26quot;child benefit%26quot; in the US. Sounds more like a UK question but that%26#039;s just a guess.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

NE OF US THREE WOMEN IS STILL SINGLE AT THE AGE OF 35

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/ar...

%26quot;One in three women is unmarried at 35, official figures show. In 2000, only a quarter were not married. And in 1990, just one in ten was in this position.%26quot;

%26quot;Marriage began to experience a decline in the 1980s, but in the last decade its popularity has fallen more sharply.%26quot;

%26quot;The downward trend corresponds with an increase in:

* women following careers [ ?? ]

* the rising cost of buying a home [ Competition with two wages - ?? ]

* The cost of having a family also seems to have had an effect, as parents struggle to afford childcare and a mortgage. [ Two people must work to pay it - ?? ]

* Analysts believe the introduction of tax credits to the benefit system since 1999 has dissuaded many from marrying, as they favour single mothers. [ Single mothers.. ?? ]

What%26#039;s the reason?

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Besides the fact that many %26quot;social theories%26quot; have interacted with society and viewpoints alongside developed industry and medicine to result in the increased importance and value of the individual (or simply the ME ME ME in everyone) as well as decrying marriage as an oppressive and destructive hold of bondage?

Not much.

By the way, what do you all think of that run-on sentence? If I%26#039;m not mistaken, it%26#039;s one of the finest I%26#039;ve ever written (typed).

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

It is one in two in the states. One in two American women are single.

To answer your question ... People stay single because they see so much negativity about family and marriage, in the media, on the streets, in their families ... I don%26#039;t see a universal, positive and inspiring message about family life on TV. When I do, it is some hypocrisy about %26quot;good%26quot; family ways, vs. %26quot;Bad%26quot;.

I mean you watch talk shows in the afternoon and all you see is people talking about their tense and draining family situation.

I am 33 yrs. old and still single. I am very aware of the 50 percent divorce rate in this country (for people%26#039;s first marriage) and I don%26#039;t want to hassle with it. I was brought up to think of marriage as a lifetime thing, and when I see that it can so easily dissolve, and accumulate legal debts, alienate kids ....

I stay single. I know I won%26#039;t be single forever. But I know that when I do marry it will last.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

I think financial independence for women has made the prospect of marriage seem suffocating. Although I don%26#039;t live in the UK, I am 39, educated, financially secure and very happy being single. The thought of marriage frightens me to death. In fact, I view it as the %26#039;death%26#039; of me. For ever and ever until death do us part? That was fine when the life expectancy was less than 50. It is intimidating when the life expectancy is closing in on 100!!! I just don%26#039;t think that marriage is all that it is cracked up to be.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

They have chosen their independance and have no intention of having a mysoginist man, because there are a lot of unsavoury mysoginist males out there, lead them down the garden path then disappear with all of the financial assets.

I would certainly never marry again. I have far to much to lose and there are some misogynist men who can%26#039;t wait to get their hands on your wallet then they disappear. Or they try and get you pregnant so they think you will marry them then trap you into anti feminist servitude until they take all your money and leave you penniless with children to raise and not a shilling coming from them.. Geesh I am beginning to sound like cassius in reverse with all these baseless generalizations and no proof to back it up.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Men and Women are just waiting until later in life to marry... Especially the well educated...

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

They haven%26#039;t found the time to find the right man because of the time to build up their career.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Zealous feminism that still exists and should not, it has gone well beyond the state of equality. This leads to abusive women that have zero understanding of what feminism actually is, thus, necessitating the emergence of female chauvinism.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Because marriage means death? Just a thought.

The pressure to marry isn%26#039;t so evident anymore. If they hold off for the right man, and choose to live single rather than just marrying %26quot;just anyone%26quot; anymore, it would seem more likely.

In the past, women HAD TO marry, to stay alive, or rather for livelihood... These days, it%26#039;s a choice. She is independent and self-sufficient... She can choose. :-)

Sadly, many people still see it as a sort of %26quot;disease%26quot; for anyone to stay single. Why not just let those that are single enjoy their singleness. Perhaps they don%26#039;t want to get married... yet. :-)

It%26#039;s not such a %26quot;neccessity%26quot; for a woman to get married anymore. :-) She now has the freedom to enjoy her life, just as men do, before she settles down...

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Maybe 閳?dare I say it? 閳?they don%26#039;t want to. They%26#039;re more interested in their personal fulfillment than they are in marriage. I can certainly identify with that.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Financial Idependance and personal fulfillment in careers and lifes are probably a huge factor.

On the other side of the coin, many men also choose not to marry. I%26#039;m 35 and do not feel like marriage is the best option.

It is more expensive to be single though.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Two reasons:

1) they believe the feminist nonsense that they can work and find a good man, and have lots of babies.

2) they continue to live at home and are supported by their parents.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Men don%26#039;t want to commit.

Why are 1 in 3 women still single at age 35 in the UK?

Because men do not settle for ugly women anymore. When you marry a hawt girl at least you have a hot to decent looking girl. But what if you marry an ugly woman. Do you think she is going to bake for you ? Do me a favor.

Deidre I had plenty of proove to back it up, like the high divorce statistics and the laws which apply in the case of a divorce which transfer in an instant transfer of wealth followed up by a constant transfer of wealth.

And if annything the rates are skeved in the favour of marriage. By college hardly any child has married parents, yet the divorce rate is said to be slightly above 50is instead of closer to 80is. Kind of weird isnt it ?

Unfair fines........?

were supposed to live in a fair and classless society,

so why is it, laws have been put in place, where if one drops litter, one can be given an on the spot fine, of 鎷?0-鎷?0, depending on where you live.

surely it would have been better to introduce a system, where you are docked say 5-15%, of your net income depending on the nature of the environ-crime you commit, 鎷?0 to someone on tax credits is outragous, 鎷?0 to someone on high incomes, i.e. national average %26amp; above 鎷?8,000 p/yr is a drop in the ocean. we all dump rubbish, be it intentional or not, but unfair fines are just a way of hurting those who can least afford it, same applies to other on the spot fines....do you agree with the sentiment and why ?

Unfair fines........?

these fines are not applied to resolve a problem but simply to increase the coffers for the goverment. 鎷?0 fine for dropping litter is unfair no matter what salary you earn and besides i am sick of this mentality. WHY should people who earn more be punished simply for working hard whereas layabouts get away with it. In this country you are far better sitting at home with 3 kids and claiming benefits than going out to work.

Rather than fine people . ie speed cameras, litter dropping employ more police and rubbish collectors therefore giving jobs

Unfair fines........?

no it is there for a reason to stop people doing it, so if they were to take heed of this they would not drop the litter in the first place.

Unfair fines........?

Quit-Breaking-The-Fuking-Law! That seems to be the %26quot;Best-Method%26quot; of avoiding fines you god-damned litter-bug! Hope this answers your question. 1st Sgt., 7th Special Forces, (Ret.) Vietnam %26quot;67%26quot;-%26quot;70%26quot;

-damned litter bug!

Unfair fines........?

In theory you are absolutely correct. The idea of %26quot;equity%26quot; demands that those who are less well off should pay less than those with more. But -- here%26#039;s the rub...

The only way your mitigating factors can be taken into account is through a trial. An officer on the street has neither the time, capacity nor authority to make determinations of economic circumstances. If we are serious about putting your suggestions to work, we would have to put every litterbug on trial, and that is prohibitively expensive. Thus, the only solution is to create a single sized fine that is uniformly enforced on all people, regardless of income. There is no viable alternative outside of a courtroom.

Unfair fines........?

Come on its the Blair PC brigade. If you employ thousands of civil servants you have to give them something to do. So how do we pay for them. Easy what do people do that will take time for them to correct. Its like bells on bikes. You send someone out to spy and skulk around a corner. Then you see a child drop a lolly stick from its pram. Mum missed it but you jump 鎷?0 fine madam. Rich or poor they have you. Trouble is you can get out of your head on drink and drugs drive a car and kill someone. If you didn%26#039;t mean to you may get away with little more that an 鎷?0 fine. No logic but revenue is the game. It stinks.

Unfair fines........?

No. the cost of %26quot;damage%26quot; is the same no matter the income of the culprit.

Unfair fines........?

Wow Chris you%26#039;re not having a happy Sunday are you?

I agree that fines should be related to a persons finances - not necessarily their income as many rich people put their earning in Trusts so it looks as if they don%26#039;t earn much, that way they don%26#039;t pay so much Income Tax. But, fines should be high enough to hurt. That means even if you are poor you need to pay if you break the law. the only real answer is DON%26#039;T break the law.

You don%26#039;t say if you did or not, i hope you didn%26#039;t!

Unfair fines........?

I don%26#039;t pay any fines, I avoid them in a very clever way.

The secret is, but don%26#039;t tell anyone ssshh, I don%26#039;t drop litter, I don,t speed and I do not steal etc.

Unfair fines........?

its the poorer people who dump the rubbish more than the rich... they drive around in cars not hop off and on buses

Benifits Advice? Am I entitled?I am currently having to attend hospital daily for medical reasons...

I am pregnant with third child. My partner works full time earning average wage and gets tax credits which pay for childcare.

I earn nothing just now due to medical reasons- am i entitled to anything even though I live under same roof as my earning partner?

We are stuggling finantially, after we have paid rent, we are left with around 鎷?0 weekly between us to cover everything else such as shopping, travel, electricity ect.

Does anybody know the criteria for DLA?

Benifits Advice? Am I entitled?I am currently having to attend hospital daily for medical reasons...?

Follow this link to the Directgov website for information about DLA

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeop...

Also use this link to find out general information about benefits

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Bfsl1/Benefi...

Take a look at the link below to see if you qualify for help with travel costs for hospital appointments.

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Bfsl1/Benefi...

It might also be worth looking into seeing if you can get a Community Care Grant

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Bfsl1/Benefi...

It is hard to advise properly without knowing all the details, but the information above might help.

I would highly recommend going to see your local Citizens Advice Bureau who will be able to do a %26#039;Benefits Check%26#039; for you, to make sure that you are receiving all the help that you are entitled to.

I would also ask them about applying for DLA, they usually have someone who is specifically trained for this.

It is getting much harder to make a successful claim for DLA, and in nearly all cases now, you will have to be seen by a Dr sent by them to check on your application.

You stand a much better chance if you get help to fill in the form from someone who understands the process, and knows the main criteria, and how to word the application.

I work for a Mental Health Charity and fill in these forms on behalf of some of my clients, believe me it does make a difference.

The same applies to benefits, seek independant advice.

Hope this helps.

Benifits Advice? Am I entitled?I am currently having to attend hospital daily for medical reasons...?

You will be entitled to Maternity Pay towards the end of your pregnancy, plus I imagine you can claim other benefits now.

Get yourself straight down to the Job Centre and get them to help you out.

Benifits Advice? Am I entitled?I am currently having to attend hospital daily for medical reasons...?

if you need help with personal care or getting around i Wood think on that income you may get some income support when your at the hospital ask yo see the social worker for advice and good luck

Benifits Advice? Am I entitled?I am currently having to attend hospital daily for medical reasons...?

I doubt you would get income support. Maternity allowance and that%26#039;s about it.

Benifits Advice? Am I entitled?I am currently having to attend hospital daily for medical reasons...?

it depends on the total household income and any savings you have,you may get help with council tax payments , housing rent or interest payments of a out standing mortgage,you will be able to claim when baby%26#039;s born,you need to contact a adviser in the first place take any proof with you of income savings and out goings such as mentioned

Benifits Advice? Am I entitled?I am currently having to attend hospital daily for medical reasons...?

My advice would be to claim for Housing benefit straight away. It looks as though you would be entitled to something towards the rent and council tax.

For DLA, type in benefits and all the relevant benefits will come up and you can apply on line. DLA are very slow and 3 months is not uncommon before you hear but you will get paid from your first date of claiming.

There is a scheme for people on income support for help with costs to go to hospital.

Without knowing what your partners wage is before stoppages, I cannot help further. My advice is to claim, they can only say no.

Frozen bank accounts ??

hmrc have fozen a bank account ,(fraud suspiciusion with tax credits)how does this happen, ? are courts involved,with the freeze i hear there is red tape to release an account back, whats red tape, can this be justified , before proof.

Frozen bank accounts ??

if the account have suspicious or possible fraud then yes they surely can put a freeze on your account

you need to go to your bank and speak with the branch manager and he/she will be able to tell you whats going on

Frozen bank accounts ??

not really sure by your question what you are asking so I am going to guess....

YES accounts can be frozen if it is suspected that they are involved in fraud. I believe reasonable suspicion is the standard that the banks must use and there is a time frame where if the charges are not substainated (sp) then the bank must release your funds.

i would talk to an attorney and see if he can help if you find no luck in talking with the branch manager!

Frozen bank accounts ??

they would need to provide the courts with some proof of tax evasion before they would be granted a court order to freeze your bank accounts, I would suggest you see a solicitor urgently as sounds like the brown stuff has hit the proverbial fan.

Frozen bank accounts ??

If you have nothing to hide, and, believe that your Bankers have acted unfairly, see a Solicitor, instruct them (provided that they agree to act) and seek injunctive relief. Prior to taking such a step, if, you are able to persuade your Bank, by sending them a %26#039;letter before action%26#039; (prior to commencing proceedings) that; your financial dealings are %26#039;above board, you will find, that, your account facilities will be restored. Do not do it through the Branch; ask for the address of the Area Office, and write (having retained a photocopy) to; the Area Director.

As a pensioner would my mum get any financial help if she looked after my daughter doing her A level

I am a single parent working full time getting tax credits for her but I would be moving to spain so wouldnt be earning any money. Would my mum be entitled to claim any benefits for my daughter if she lived with her?

As a pensioner would my mum get any financial help if she looked after my daughter doing her A levels?

If your parents become the main carers for the child you must stop any claim you have for your child/children by calling the helpline then your parents can add the child/children to their existing claim or they will have send in a application stating the date of responsibility for the child. This date must compile with the date you inform the Tax Credits helpline your are no longer responsible for the child. Therefore if you are not responsible from the 5th Jan they must state the 6th of Jan or the application will be suspended and will take several weeks for the Tax Credit Office to contact yourself and override the system, when this happens it is know as a Verification Failure.

For them to claim CTC your child must be under 20 years old if over 16 be in Full time Non Advance education A levels etc, your parents must not be subject to immagration control and be U.K nationals, there household income must not exceed 鎷?5k.

As a pensioner would my mum get any financial help if she looked after my daughter doing her A levels?

probably just her family allowance

As a pensioner would my mum get any financial help if she looked after my daughter doing her A levels?

yes she will. go into your jobcentre to discuss this matter but i can say for defenate that she can claim benefits

As a pensioner would my mum get any financial help if she looked after my daughter doing her A levels?

So you%26#039;re moving to Spain and abandoning you%26#039;r daughter. How can you afford to live in Spain without money?

As a pensioner would my mum get any financial help if she looked after my daughter doing her A levels?

She would be entitled to Child Tax Credits and Child Benefit instead of you if your daughter was living with her. Your daughter may also be entitled to an Educational Maintenance Allowance. Best idea is for her to contact Connexions. Her school may also have information.

How can the taxman send two cds with all the details of twenty five million people by post non recor

I had the letter a few days ago, saying that I%26#039;m one of the affected people, I just can%26#039;t believe that, what do you think about that?, do you believe that?, and telling me not to worry if I recieve any letter about borrowings or any bill that are not mine, saying that I will not have to pay anything, of course I wouldn%26#039;t!, they should give some compensation for that to all the people, see if next time happens again, and also, why they didn%26#039;t loose the information of people who have to repay the tax credits back?, would be better, not?, I think they lose what they want only, sounds really bad to me, I don%26#039;t believe that, seriusly, it%26#039;s a con

Well what do you expect from this shower of a Government

It wasn%26#039;t just stuck in a post box.

They used a courier for internal mail; TNT. *They* lost it.

Cos they have ordinary people working there, who are liable to make mistakes just as normal human beings.

It has been confirmed that it was NOT sent by post. It was sent by TNT courier but there was no tracking on the parcel. That is how they come to lose the discs.

The same way the DVLA in Northern Ireland can lose 2 discs with over 7,500 drivers details on them. Last known to have been at Coventry sorting office on route to Swansea !!!! xx

How can the taxman send two cds with all the details of twenty five million people by post non recorded?

I had the same letter, mine also says %26quot;the disks are probably mislaid, in a office somwhere%26quot;

no sh1t sherlock !

How can the taxman send two cds with all the details of twenty five million people by post non recorded?

I just don%26#039;t BELIEVE it!.........not the loss of the CDs but how badly structured your question is

How can the taxman send two cds with all the details of twenty five million people by post non recorded?

First of all, its not Tax Credit information which has been lost, but the details of people who claim Child Benefit. The disks only contained copies of the information - Child Benefit records are still on HMRC%26#039;s computer system.

The disks were sent by internal mail, probably because the manager who asked for them to be sent did not specify to the clerical assistant that they were to be sent by recorded post. HMRC%26#039;s internal mail system means that all the outgoing post to other departments is sent daily to a central sorting office. There, all the post is sorted and sent on to the other departments, tax offices, etc. This centre handles thousands of bits of post a day, so its not surprising things get lost. If the disks were in a normal internal envelope, there would be nothing to alert anyone as to what the envelope contained. For all anyone knows, it could have arrived at the NAO and be lost somewhere in there.

I am nto sure why you think it%26#039;s a con - what is the benefit to anyone in HMRC to lose this data and get all this publicity?

From an environmental standpoint, is it better to convert to Natural Gas from #2 Oil or Install Sola

I can only afford to do one at this point in time at my house. Financially, it is a wash (The outlay for Solar Photovoltaic is much higher but is offset by savings on my electric bill and substantial New York State subsidies %26amp; tax credits. I assume switching from oil to gas for heating is a financial wash after the up-front conversion costs). Here are the relevant facts for my house: we burn, despite all our conservation efforts, about 1600 gallons of #2 heating oil a heating season. I can fit a 4.590kW Solar Array on my roof that is expected to net 5116(kWh) a year. I already bought a Prius so don%26#039;t suggest that as a better environmental solution. Any help with this decision would be appreciated.

From an environmental standpoint, is it better to convert to Natural Gas from #2 Oil or Install Solar Panels?

Solar

From an environmental standpoint, is it better to convert to Natural Gas from #2 Oil or Install Solar Panels?

If the solar panels will give you enough power, i would go that way.

that way you won%26#039;t be at the mercy of fluctuating oil or natural gas prices.

From an environmental standpoint, is it better to convert to Natural Gas from #2 Oil or Install Solar Panels?

Environmentally speaking the solar panels are the best choice. It will cut down on exhaust emissions from the consumption of a fuel. The sun is a renewable source and is very economical to capture. My vote would be for the solar panels, but you have to do what is best for your situation.

From an environmental standpoint, is it better to convert to Natural Gas from #2 Oil or Install Solar Panels?

I would be cautious when evaluating the amount of power your panels will generate. The net amount may be correct on average, but will unfortunately also be predominantly available when you need it least and woefully missing when you most want it. Most of your best power-producing days will be during the summer, so that won%26#039;t cut your heating oil consumption at all. Snowfall will have to be kept off the panels and cold, cloudy days are going to be very low productivity. Nighttime is when you need it the most, and that%26#039;s when you get nothing at all! (The rate of heat loss in your home is determined by the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures).

Batteries for storing the electricity are still very toxic and environmentally damaging to produce while also being expensive and of limited lifetime. I believe we are likely to see significant improvements over the next few years, but for now battery technology is pretty poor.

I%26#039;m afraid that solar will only have a minimal impact on your need for other heat sources. However, natural gas is not that much friendlier environmentally than oil (yes, it burns cleaner, but you are still emitting loads of CO2). NG is, however, better from a social point of view since it helps move us away from the awful politics of oil.

You could also consider using wood pellets as a eco-friendly heat source:

http://www.pelletheat.com/index.php

At least that makes a closed loop in terms of CO2: trees store the carbon, you burn them and emit CO2, the new trees build themselves out of that CO2, you burn them.... (cycle continues). With fossil fuels we are taking the carbon from the ground and pumping into the atmosphere with no good way to close the loop. NG, oil and coal all suffer from this problem.

Google %26quot;pellet heat%26quot; for lots of helpful sites if you want more information on wood pellet stoves.

From an environmental standpoint, is it better to convert to Natural Gas from #2 Oil or Install Solar Panels?

Depends on your location!

The major advantage of solar is that because sunshine is free, they have no operating cost. Unless you happen to be in the cold four month winter season between late September and March, the solution is gas!

The advantages of gas are low initial cost installed including a propane storage tank, for a typical residential home the ability to maintain a desired temperature during almost any weather conditions, and very fast recovery (the period of time needed to bring the whole house up to temperature.) The principal drawback is operating cost. For a typical heating season propane costs to maintain a 15X30 (USA). While many home owners now consider gas prohibitively expensive, you may want to consider it as a winter supplement to another, more cost effective form of heating if you need to be indoors for ie medical reasons.

Another plus for environmentally concerned home owners is that solar energy is renewable and non-polluting. The major disadvantage is that solar does not provide heat on demand. In other words, the solar system can only put into the house the heat which is available from the sun on any given day. You cannot make more solar energy the way you might burn more gas or use more electricity to maintain your house heating system (used in conjunction during the winter- used more than double) from four months to nine or ten months every year in cold countries and areas.

From an environmental standpoint, is it better to convert to Natural Gas from #2 Oil or Install Solar Panels?

another simple option that you could consider is to switch to bioheat (conventional home heating oil containing biodiesel) in the interim while considering your above options.

You could also consider converting your current furnace to run on an alternative fuel (SVO, biodiesel, or used motor oil).

Anyone from uk with housing ????

This sounds like a complex situation - make an appointment with your local citizens advice bureau - they will be able to take all your circumstances into consideration and give you the best advice.

Seperation in the uk?

how do i go about filing for seperation in the UK, i have 2children too, so im worried about being homeless with 2kids, tax credits etc. does anybody have any advice for me....

Seperation in the uk?

Yes, go to the citizens advice bureau and they can go through all your options.

You can be seperated without filing for a judicial seperation. Do you live with your partner still? It is possible to seperate and still live under the same roof.

What hours do you work, how old are you children. The answers will affect your entitlement to working tax credits and child tax credit. If you have children and you work 16 hours or more a week you will be entitled to working tax credit.

Have you a place to live at the moment? is it a marital home? Is you name on the deeds? If you are married and your name is not on the deeds then you need a solicitor asap to get your interests in the property registered so as your partner cannot sell the house from under you.

A lot more information is needed to advise you of all your options.

Please go to the citizens advice bureau. It is free and confidential

Take care
