Hi,
I’m refering to your letter from 20/3, which I received today, (and
which I attach).
There’s no change in my economical situation.
The Jobcentre have first stopped my allowance, (due to that eighter
the Jobcentre or Royal Mail have lost my letter).
Then the allowance started again, (after I re-registered with the
Jobcentre, like I’ve explained about, in the forwarded e-mails).
Then the Jobcentre have stopped my allowance again, (they informed me
about this in a letter I recieved yesterday, which I think I’ve sent
to you at LHT, yesterday).
The Jobcentre say that I work more than sixteen hours a week.
But that’s not right, I only have a hobby web-shop, and I work less
than sixteen hours a week.
I’m supposed to tell them, if I work more than sixteen hours a week.
And I haven’t done that.
Some weeks there isn’t any work with my web-shop at all, because it
doesn’t sell that much at the moment.
So the Jobcentre are just suffering from having poor rutines and being
poorly organised, it seems.
So this, (that they’ve stopped my Housing Benefit and Jobseekers
Allowance), I’ve complained about, to both the DWP and Liverpool City
Council.
So if the people who work at the Council have good judgement, then the
Housing Benefit should be back as soon as posible.
(That’s what always happens, when the Jobcentre stop my allowance, for
no good reason.
This has happened at least twice before, after I started renting from
LHT, almost two years ago.
So this is something the Jobcentre do about once a year, since they
are bored or something, it seems.
I’m an experieced Store Manager, from Norway, (and have gone to
commerce and office-school, studied Information Management and IT, and
have employment-cases etc.), so I don’t I’m the problem here, (so to
speak)).
Thanks for the letter!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I’m refering to your letter from 4/3, which I recieved yesterday, (and
which I attach).
I was banned, from six Jobcentres, in January, due to false claims.
The Jobcentre claimed I had written love-emails to a staff with them,
and got the Police to arrest me and steal my computer.
I explained in a meeting, at Wavertree police-station, that I had
written no such e-mails.
This meating was recorded on a tape, and it was a police-officer and a
solicitor from Linskills, in the meeting.
They said I would get a copy of the tape, in the post, (the solicitor
helped me fill out the form), but I haven’t gotten any tape.
I was released from custody, the same day I was arrested, but was told
I couldn’t go to Aintree Jobcentre, any longer.
I said I’d go to Everton jobcentre, (since that’s about the same
walking-distance, (around half an hour, or less), from Walton).
I went to Everton Jobcentre, one of the next days, (after I didn’t get
any letters in the post, about how to sign-on).
Everton Jobcentre told me to go back there, the next day.
I went back there, and was thrown out, (they said I was banned from
that Jobcenter as well, and four others, including Bootle, I think).
I then got a letter in the post, from Aintree Jobcentre.
They said I was supposed to sign on by post.
I could send the letter within five days, from my sign-on-day, (Thursday).
I sent the first letter on Friday, and got my allowance the next Tuesday.
The next time, I sent the letter on Friday, and got my allowance on Thursday.
They said this was because I had sent the letter late.
(But I only sent it one day after my sign on-day.
And I could send it up to five days after).
I then sent the letter, (the sign on by post-forms), on Thursday 13/2.
I didn’t get my allowance, the next Tuesday, (18/2).
I wrote about this on my blog.
But I waited untill Thursday 20/2, before I called Birkenhead Benefit
Centre, about this.
(Since I had noticed, that the time it took, between that I sent the
‘sign on by post-forms’, and recieved the allowance, varied).
Birkenhead Benefit Centre, (a Stuart from Manchester, I think), said
that the Jobcentre hadn’t registered, (on their computer), that I had
signed on.
Stuart told me to call Aintree Jobcentre, and ask for them to contact
Birkenhead Benefit Centre, for a ‘same day payment’, (I think he
called it).
The phone-numbers for Aintree Jobcentre and Birkenhead Benefit Centre,
aren’t free to call.
(I’ve been put under presure, by the Jobcentre, to buy Learn
Direct-courses, for my savings.
And I’ve also bought a new computer, (a refurbished one), after the
Police stole my old computer).
So I didn’t have much credit on my mobile.
So I didn’t get to call Aintree Jobcentre, on 20/2.
Instead I walked to Edge Hill Jobcente, (a jobcentre I wasn’t banned
from), the next day, (Friday 21/2).
John there, checked the computer-system, and told me Aintree Jobcentre
had deleted my claim.
He gave me a note, and advised me to register again as unemployed, the
same evening, (since I had the internet, and still some electricity).
I registered a new claim, late on Friday 21/2, (or if it was early on
Saturday 22/2), since Aintree Jobcentre had deleted my claim.
On 25/2 I got a call, from Frank, at the Jobcentre.
He said I had a meeting, at 27/2, at Huyton Jobcentre.
I hadn’t been to Huyton before, (and thought it was a bit far to walk,
since I had no savings).
Then Frank said I could try to go to Edge Hill Jobcentre on 26/2, for
a transfer there.
I walked to Edge Hill again on 26/2, and spoke with John again.
He said they didn’t have capasity, for more jobseekers there.
I had blogged about the problems, and someone in Norway, donated some
money for me, (a total of £40 or £50, for food, electricity and
travel-costs).
So I went by rail, to Huyton, on 27/2.
Gary there said he couldn’t meet me anyway, (at 12.50 PM).
He wanted me to wait there untill 3 PM.
But I had a dentist-apointment in Walton at 3PM.
So I said I could be back there the next day.
I then got an apointment on 4/3.
On 4/3, (Tuesday, this week), Gary gave me a document.
It looks like what my online claim would look like.
But the date is wrong, and the phone-number is two phone-numbers ago,
(since I sometimes get a lot of tele-pest, for some reason, and have
had to change my phone-number, a couple of times, lately, like I’ve
informed the Police about, but haven’t found out who have been
pestering me).
But I explain in this document, (which I attach), that:
‘I sent my jobseekers-diary in the post to Aintree Jobcentre on
Thursday last week, they had banned me for ‘funny stuff’, and they
claim I haven’t sent it. Was told today to make a new claim’.
So I’ve been following the advice I got, from John, at Edge Hill
Jobcentre, on 21/2.
So it’s not really a change, but the Jobcentre in Aintree, who have
lost my ‘sign on by post’-letter.
In this link, the Jobcentre say I have to sign on by post:
http://johncons-mirror.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/jeg-fikk-et-brev-fra-aintree-jobcentre.html
In this link, they say I ‘did not attend’:
http://johncons-mirror.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/jeg-fikk-et-tredje-brev-i-posten-fra.html
But like on can see, in the fist link, I was banned for three months,
and not supposed to attend, (at the Jobcentre), for another couple of
months.
So the Jobcentre are confused, (it seems), and not sure if I’m
supposed to do ‘sign on by post’ or to attend the Jobcentre for sign
on-meetings.
So this case is a mess due to that the Jobcentre are confused, I’d say.
In this link, (from my blog), on can see, that I post the ‘sign on by
post’-letter:
http://johncons-mirror.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/fler-bilder-fra-merseyside.html
So I’ve done my part here.
But the Jobcenter are making up false charges against me.
They get me arrested.
And they don’t know how I’m supposed to sign on now.
So the Jobcentre are very un-professional, (or have some type of
campaign against me).
So it isn’t easy, for me, as a profesional Store Manager, (some years
back, but anyway), and IT-graduate, and Home Defence-man and
responsible citizen, to deal with, the Jobcentre.
Just to try to explain.
I hope you now, (at Liverpool City Council), understand more about
what has been going on here.
Please just contact me if it’s anything more about this that I should
explain more about.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
