Benefits advice

1:07pm Thursday 13th January 2011

Since my divorce three years ago I’ve been on income support and bringing up my two children alone. The youngest is coming up to her seventh birthday and I’ve had a letter telling me I will no longer be able to get income support and will have to look for work. I’m really worried as I haven’t worked for a few years now and don’t know how I could fit a job round my children, even if I could get one. Can you help?

Civil Recovery Demand

1:02pm Thursday 13th January 2011

My 14 year old daughter was accused of stealing a £3 lip-gloss from a high street chemist. She denied the accusation and the police were called, but took no action. We thought that was the end of it, but have now received a letter demanding payment of over £100 as compensation to the retailer. They also say they will take her to court if she doesn’t pay. What should we do?

I don’t know why my mobile phone bill was so high

11:04am Thursday 22nd July 2010

Last month my mobile phone contract bill was extortionately high and much more than I expected. I rang the phone company, who said I had to pay the bill and then they would investigate the query. If I did not, they would cut me off. What should I do?
