good evening gents.

On my return from work this afternoon, I opened all my post as usual. There was a letter from some council claiming that I owed them money due to over payment of housing benifit.

The letter was a final notice, stating that if i didn't make payment with in 7 days they would pass it over to bailiffs yada yada yada.


The only time i ever claimed housing benefit was for a few months when i was 17/18 and that was about 4/5 years ago when i was at/leaving college(can't remember the exact dates). I have lived in 4 different properties since and have never received anything despite paying council tax etc etc.

Personally; I want to see proof of the over payment before they see any of my money. The little jobsworth scrotum(they all are where I used to live), who I speak to on Tuesday will wish they had never been born!!

am i doing the right thing?

advice needed

cheers

  • edit i know the title has a spelling error, apologies

Well, first thing's first was in your name, and was the council your current local council or the council from the area you lived in when you were 17/18?
