Howdy boys and girl, sorry to deprive you all of my scintillating company for a while but I've been out of town for a couple of weeks - house hunting - just got back to the sunny north last night to get my stuff together, moving tomorrow...

*stony silence*

Ah come on, somebody at least PRETEND to give a fuck :P

Somebody called from DWP, wants to perform a review interview, including asking me about changes in circumstances, including my bank balance. OK my question is - as my bank balance is currently more healthy than it's ever been in my entire life (borrowed money for moving purposes etc.), what happens if I lie or temporarily transfer funds elsewhere, I mean, do they ask for a bank statement to support it? I REALLY don't want the government eyeballing my incomings and outgoings. Can they access my bank statement even without my consent? If I refuse to provide bank statement on grounds of privacy, will they get all narky about it and suddenly cut me off or something? I mean, it took me 8 friggin months to even get a penny of benefits (single mum stuff), and it would be really inconvenient for it to stop just when I"m in the middle of moving and need every penny I can scrounge. Or how about when they call back tomorrow and I postpone the interview again or whatever - does that raise red flags, me being shifty and elusive I mean?

They should have no legal right to view bank statements, i'd have thought the only thing they'd be allowed to view would be a figure of your ingoing and outgoing credit. With regard to the money you've got for your move, you simply tell them you are borrowing it from a friend, i'd have thought if it was money from an actual bank loan etc, then they might say get iffy about the notion of the mandatory repayments and interest, but if it's money from a friend then it has nothing to do with your financial situation. I myself would tell them to go and get fucked, because it's none of their business. If they wish to see what your state of affairs is then they can bloody well ask the taxman who will in turn be able to tell them your present salary based on tax payments etc. And it ight piss them off a little but it should not in any way raise red flags, just explain that you're moving house and you're rather stuck for spare timegiven all the organising and such.

As i say, i would not think they have the legal authority to demand to see bank statements, as you say, it's a violation of your right to privacy. Even the courts do not have the authority to do that, when they request you to explain your means, all that is required is to write down where you get your mmoney from, who you work for, what your monthly salary and outgoing costs are, but never actual proof of it, because as i say, if they think that you are earning more than you are telling them then it is the tax man they need to ask and it is the taxman who then investigates should it be believed you've got a sneaky million hidden under the bathroom sink based on the new swimming pool you just built in the back garden.

If sambo doesn't pop into existence cheds, just post it this way and i'll um, forward it at my convenience :D

And IM, bollocks, clean forgot about sending you that cable, i'll run down to the post box now, hopefully a 1st class stamp should suffice if not you'll get a snarky letter through the door saying cough up, the sender was a cheap bastard :D not the first time it would have happened with me :D

I'll certainly keep my eyes peeled :) hope it's as smell proof as last time, painters wandering all over the property at present, front door kept open all day etc. Luckily i finish work around abouts the same time that the postie does his rounds. The local street cleaner is bringing a couple of joints to work with him tomorrow and we're gonna go sit in the park at lunchtime and have a smoke in the sun. Karma is fantastic, all i offered was to install windows on a laptop of his which involves nothing but sitting around drinking beer and watching films while clicking here and there every 5 minutes or so, and he's insisting on a few joints and £20 :D

Don't flatter yourself, alcohol does that to a man. Plus i figured i could accept breaking said code of silence if it meant i could mock a 4 plant wannabeeeeeeeee. Sorry, wait, that would require you to have 4 plants, didn't yours die? :p You should ask IM out for dinner one day, you seem to have a lot in common with him :lol:

You just know they're going back the following night :p
