Do you work to supplement the family income?
While I do not have to supplement my family’s income, I work 10 to 12 hours a week as customer service representative at my local supermarket. In addition during the 2011 summer vacation, I started my own automobile detailing business with a friend. We created a business plan, marketed our services on the internet and in our community, kept business records, negotiated with customers and performed all car detailing procedures. This averaged 20 to 30 hours a week during the summer. By the end of the summer we were so successful an operator of a fleet of limousines contacted us to perform all of the detailing for their fleet of over 40 vehicles. Because of the time commitment involved, we declined their offer.
Are there family obligations that limit your participation in extracurricular activities?

During my junior, year both my parents suffered from serious health issues that necessitated devoting more of my attention to my family. During November 2010, without any prior history of them, my mother had two seizures, one while driving. As a result, her driving privileges were suspended for a six month period. Fortunately, the anti-seizure medication she was prescribed has prevented any further seizure incidents. Then in December 2010, my dad began to experience extreme back pain, which ultimately resulted in his having spine/back surgery in July 2011. During the period my parents were limited in their activities, I picked up the slack performing a variety of chores and tasks that they previously performed.

Job Interview at Lloyds TSB, help!?

I have a job interview next week (20/10/2011) at Lloyds TSB bank in a customer service role, I was previously unsuccesful a few months ago applying for a job at Natwest, they conducted a telephone interview prior to a formal one, which caught me offguard as they asked questions about my previous selling experiences (which I don’t have) I have only previously worked as an apprentice joiner and spent 4 years in the Royal Marines, however, this time there is no phone inerview and i’ve just been invited in for a formal interview, is there any way I can get the job without experience in that field? in other words can it be blagged?

What next? Please advise. I will explain below re; British Gas – Direct Debit – monthly?

My bank noticed during a conversation that my monthly Direct Debit to British Gas had not been taken out since April 2011. I contacted the Customer Service gas people & asked why, their reply was that I had not paid them since April!!!. Consequently I was in debt for £250 as my D.D. was £50.p.m. I paid off £100. 2 weeks ago of this debt. Their reason for this debt is that because I disagreed an increase in April to £54.pm/D.D. but nothing was mentioned during this telephone conversation in April, it is not as though I had refused to pay ANY monies. They British Gas Cancelled my direct debits from April/2011 WITHOUT MY PERMISSION & I was NOT informed of this issue, hence this debt. They have admitted the woman cancelled my D.D.as of my disagreement re; the extra increase. Is there any Legal standing for me to challenge this outrageous liberty taken by an employee of British Gas. I have been a customer for 50yrs. (not for long now). I am livid & cannot believe an operative for this company can put me in this horrendous financial situation. These last contacts over this week-end has been by email.
Much obliged.
Pogo. NO I am not. Get stuffed. I am a Registered disabled person & wouldn’t no where to start putting it on. Sounds like you do!
