Hi other legal beagle advisors

[DWPNJS]

I want some help with a case with DWP dating back to October 2007 when someone I was supporting, used my savings calculation for pension credit. I have since received a criminal record, even though I have not found this out until 2 months ago after doing a check using AVRO, can someone advise me please, who is not frightened to take on the DWP on my behalf and wipe out this huge millstone around my neck which has totally affected my career and earning potential

Hi, whilst it is unlikely any one here will deal directly with DWP on your behalf, if you post up more details doubtless you will get pointers and help in dealing with this situation.
I assume for AVRO we should read ACRO

Hi there,

I'm not sure you can have a criminal record without being aware of it - was it a fraud case brought against you through DWP ?

By AVRO do you mean ACRO ?

Under the SJP it is possible to receive a criminal conviction without being aware of a case even being brought!

A SJP notice has to be sent to the defendant explaining the offence that is giving rise to the proceedings and the options available, which are usually to plead guilty or not guilty and to request a court hearing.

Defendants are given 21 days to respond to a notice from the date it was posted. Failure to do so means that a magistrate will go ahead and make a decision on their case – meaning defendants could be convicted or fined in their absence, without their knowledge.

Might not apply in this case
