  • i have been allowed flat rate expenses but i dont understand the letter?

    i recently applied for expenses in work regarding my uniform. i recieved a letter today i am allowed flat rate expenses of 60 for each tax year from the year ending 5 april 2010.

    the letter goes on to say she has reviewed the tax year ending 5 april 2012 and had been issued previously showing unpaid tax of £1408.20 and the revised calcualation shows the unpaid tax £1326.20.

    then it says i have reviewed the tax year ending 5 april 2013 and the overall underpayment has reduced from 689.00 to 594.34.

    i have been repaying tax straight from my wages for the past few years which was set to end this month.

    basically, am i set to recieve any money or do i have to carry on paying more back? this really confuses me!!

    thanks for any help.

  • help with getting a mortgage after bankruptcy?

    hi, i was made bankrupt back in 2005 so its long gone now. this december i took out 3 credit cards, purely with the intention of paying them off in time in order to rebuild my credit. i have no savings so i wont have any deposit, my question is what are the possibilites of me being able to take out a mortgage? i am working for a local authority and have done so for the past 17 years, so my employment, regarding re-payments should be ok?

    any help/information would be great thanks.

  • what is the correct procedure for tattoo aftercare?

    i had a tattoo 11 days ago and i have had been told conflicting aftercare instructions. the tattoo artist who did my tattoo told me to leave the first clingfilm on it for one hour, take it off wash the tattoo, apply bepanthem and then wrap it again overnight, the following day i should change the clingfilm every 3 hours and wash and apply bepanthem and follow this routine for 7 days.

    now every other person who i have spoken too and also looked for advice online say that keeping it wrapped for 7 days will be bad for the tattoo? it does seem a bit of a long time and i thought it would have been better off letting it breathe to help the healing process?

    any advice on the correct aftercare please?

  • is there a way to get a document signed by the doctor without paying for it?

    i am currently on benefits but as my 3 year old is starting part time school, i have decided to get back to work. i have completed a childminding course and have paid for it my self and also paid out for first aid course and also a police check on myself, now i have a form to fill in which in turn has to be signed by a doctor and i have been told the fee can be anything from £10 - £280.

    i dont have a lot of money, and have already spent a lot on the course, i feel that for a doctor who already earns more than i can ever imagine too should charge just for signing a piece of paper. is there anyway i can get it done for free?

  • i have been off work for just over a year now with a bad back and want to return to work?

    i got signed off sick last year and after months of physio and scans it turns out i have a badly slipped disc and it has damaged two of the nerves in my right leg. now i was on full pay for 6 months, half pay for 6 months and now my pay has stopped. i went into work over a month ago and had a meeting with my works doctor, union rep, manager, and HR advisor and we decided i could have a phased return to work before my operation and then again after. hopefully after my operation i should be ok to go back to my old position as a gardener. now although this meeting was over a month ago i have still not been placed back into work and my pay has stopped. i have been contacting my manager on a daily basis and all he is saying is that his manager is dealing with it and thats it. i am actually classed as disabled because of my back and although i can return to work on light duties they are still not doing to assist my return to work. i work for bristol city council and i always thought a large employer like them would want to help me get back to work.

    does anyone have any experience of anything similar happening to them?

    thank you.

  • i have been off work sick now for 9 months, after 12 months my pay will stop but my operation is 4 months away?

    i have a slipped disc in my lower back and it has damaged the nerves in my leg. today after 9 months of pain and waiting i have been told i can go on the waiting list for an operation on my back. however the waiting list is 4 months and by then my pay from work will have stopped and that is before i have even recovered from the operation.

    i am already on half pay and struggling now, but on the bright side i have a job to go back to after the operation, but in the months whilst my pay is stopped i wont be able to pay rent/bills/ not to mention provide for my family.

    i have already told my manager at work about my predicament and he has told me he will arrange for me to see him and also HR department to see what we can do but im really starting to panic about this now and the worry is not helping my condition.

    any advice on help i can get would be greatly received. thank you very much.

  • had a letter today from the council ''my single occupancy will be withdrawn if i fail to respond to this reque?

    my single occupancy will be withdrawn if i fail to respond to this letter within 14 days -

    then my address and ref no.

    then it says as part of their review process they have carried out more detailed checks using internal records and external credit refernce agency and they have found 1 or more adults living at my address.

    now the thing is i am here alone with my son and have been for 2 years now, i have had people stay over and an ex was thinking of moving in but never did so no one over than me and my one year old has ever been registered as living here.

    also the phone number to ring is a 0844 number it charges for the call which i find odd and i can never get through to talk to anyone.

    but the other strange thing is the email address is yellow-square.com which sounds strange as i live in bristol and i would have imagined the email address to be a bristol city council.org or a goverment email address.

    should i be worried? it all seems a little strange to me?
