Don't know if you have Universal Credit down there yet, that they've been trialing up here for 5 years or so, but they'll sanction you for just about anything and they always assume you're lying. They've sacked all the human beings and kept on the c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be if you just filled out the stupid work diary thing and logged on their site and fired off a few applications (copy and paste worked well there) then you'd be fine.

I was on for a few weeks when they introduced UC and you had to attempt to prove you had spent 35 hours a week job hunting which is impossible to do without lying. I point blank refused to register on their site because 1. didn't want them snooping, and 2. didn't want to give all my CV details to all these crooks offering phoney jobs. Got referred to the top and they admitted they couldn't force me. Thankfully got a job fairly quickly, it's a soul destroying business, probably deliberately so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Aye their site is a nightmare. Just outright data gathering, almost certainly illegally so, but dressed up so that they try and force you to give up loads of personal information. Like you say, it was full of absolutely loads of phoney jobs; probably more than there were actual jobs. I think a lot of companies know how shite the site is and so would put their adverts on decent sites, like Indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girth Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 They’re (sadly) closing my Jobcentre down early next year I think. They’ve always been friendly and helpful to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 My landlord has decided to stop doing my flat as a private let and has handed it over to a letting agency. I was all in favour of this as he was a snakey evil b*****d. But I just got my copy of the contract to sign. Some of the great parts include: Tenants are responsible for upkeep of garden (fair enough) but also for buying all the stuff needed to do the garden. f**k that mate. A "discretionary" £350 plus VAT (minimum) payment to the letting agency for any month the flat sits empty after I leave my contract (not if I leave it early. Just if they can't get anyone in even if my contract is up and I've fucked off) A £75 administration fee for handing any contracts. This includes when I sign to stay living in the place I am currently in and again every six months as they only do six month contracts. I have to leave my room unlocked at all times during the last two months of the tenancy in case they want to show anyone around. If they come round and my room is locked I will be charged £50. If I wish to make any changes to the contract these will cost £125 plus VAT per change. Oh yeah. This is all dated from "1st September" as my moving in date even tho' they only sent me the contract today. Phoned them up with a big fat "naw" and they said I need to vacate by 1st October. This was met with a bigger, fatter "naw". So now they want to discuss terms tomorrow. Whether I stay or find somewhere else I am now aiming to be the most annoying tenant they've ever had. Money grabbing b*****ds. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money grabbing b*****ds.I believe you’re in London so this might not be as apt advice, but whenever I’ve had letting issues I’ve always been told to contact citizens advice. Thankfully I’ve never needed too but a friend did and they were able to help them out big time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaspianChris Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 These two aremails such scummy individuals who should have received harsher punishment and a 10 year ban from keeping animals should have been a lifetime one. That poor cat would have been in horrendous agony and terror in its final moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
