I am in the process of cancelling a skiing holiday that I have booked for January. Unfortunately, I have now found out that I have an exam the week I am supposed to be away. Obviously, I am not happy by this situation as I am missing out on an excellent holiday and also going to lose my deposit.

Im trying to get through to book an appointment at the CAB office in Truro Cornwall to discuss benefits with them. I have called both the 0844 number and the 0300 number several times, but I always end up listening to the recorded message saying no-one is available to take my call.

A question about : Brought a used car

Hi,

My friend has brought a used car today and given a deposit at a garage.

The reason she brought it was for congestion charge exemption however coming home and checking online turns out the car is 2 months to early to be exempt. Making it a Euro4 which doesn't meet standards.

She made them aware this was what she needed but they didn't comment.

A question about : Where to start with a split...?

Hi, I hope you can offer some useful help and advice. I feel like my whole world is falling apart.

I've been married for a couple of years and have two beautiful children (age 1 and 3). However, after a few too many very bad arguments with my husband, I'm wondering if that for my own safety and sanity, and the health and happiness of my children, we'd be better off apart.

A question about : CAB work experience and legal-financial sector experience

Hi everyone!

My sister has previously worked as an Admin for the Citizens Advice Bureau (Debt/Money Advice department) She was dealing with legal documents, forms and correspondence on a daily basis.

She wants to apply for a new job (Legal Clerk position) where they require experience within the legal-financial sector. She's unsure whether her previous role at the CAB is counted as having experience within the legal-financial sector?

Thank you.
