I have problems with benefit overpayment but a long story. It goes back for many years now as they say they can go back as far as they want. All my benefits have been stopped including the carers allowance. I have a letter from Equita saying they will be calling.
I dispute the debt. I have employed a advisor and a mitigation with as much proof as I could find.was sent to the DWP. in Jan 2017
I have not heard anything yet.
I am on a state pension and am disabled and getting PIP after going to appeal as I was on a lifetime award due to a serious injury.
I was taken to court for a liability order last year I was having Hospiital treatment and asked the council if i could attend on another date. They agreed on the phone but went ahead while i was in Hospital even though they knew I could not attend. I had rang the court explaining my medical issues as i go to the pain relief clinic as that is all that is left to me now as I am already on morphine.
They were fine with it. I got a letter the next week informing me of the liability order, of course i could not get to the court and the council knew that..
I got my Stepchange folder and sent that twice to the council. I asked if they had it and they said they had. It shows my outgoings are more than my income. They will not accept it.
I have been paying full rent and council tax for almost a year from my award I had made to me and the DWP has estimated me as having over the savings limit which has lead me to all this. I did not save the money awarded by the judge.
I will run out of money soon and wont be able to carry on paying the rent and council tax much longer as the pension does not cover it.
I feel I am,not been treated very well and the way i have been spoken to by the council has made it so i write in stead as they do not keep their word. They have made accusations on the phone to me that have been very distressing after working all these years and ending up in debt.,
This is all costing more and more and i was charged the £75 (more than half my income) for been 2 days late even though i brought the account up to date. I now see how easy it is to become homeless.
Thanks for any advice, I have read your threads and i see it is a big problem for a lot of people.
