A question about : Why do CAB tell people to go get benefits to service debt?

Recently had a call back from the CAB after driving 20 odd miles to find the drop in centre times listed online were wrong...

Someone gave me a call back I appreciate same day, didn't have a clue what to suggest apart from here is a link to direct.gov website to see what beneifits I could claim, to help service debt repayments!!!!

No wonder this country is falling apart!

A question about : Store Negligence?

Hi,

I may be posting a topic thats not relevant to this board so apologies if this is the case. Im not sure but I just needed some advice and wanted to know my rights.

I went to a large (chain) store on Monday with my mum, dad and my 14month old daughter.

I entered the front of the store and and wanted to go straight to the 1st floor, so made for the lift. We all got in and about half way going up, the lift got stuck.

A question about : Neighbour has shed on corner of access path

In order to gain access to my garden I have to walk down the side and along the bottom of my neighbours garden to a gate at the bottom of the fence.
Since I moved in the neighbour has had their shed at the bottom, on the right angle corner of the path. This means that I can walk down the path, but then I have to cross a few steps onto their lawn, bedding plant area etc in order to then access the path that runs along the bottom.

A question about : Please help. Inheritance worry

Hi there,

My mum has inherited 27000 from my fathers death. She receives pension credit and council tax benefit. She doesn't want or need this money and wants to give me and my brother the lion share of it. After the funeral cost and buying a car she s left with about 23000.

She is worried that if she gives my brother and I 7000 each, we may have to pay inheritance tax or she may be accused of deliberate depreciation of her money and will lose her benefits.
