Are you reading this? I haven't seen any reactions to my previous updates. I guess you are either in disbelief or you feel that you can't comment as you know the situations that I have described all too well. Well, I hope that you read this one... WORKING TAX CREDIT SCAM I have always wanted to be self-employed as I have some good or great ideas. But I can never realize the potential of these ideas as there is always someone or something getting in my way i.e. the bloody Jobcentre workers. I've had some crap jobs that involved selling people short and I hated that aspect of the job. Foolishly, I wanted to stand for change and this caused friction with my former bosses. So, when I have had periods of unemployment I have tried my hand at self-employment. Sometimes it has been a struggle to get on what is known as the New Enterprise Allowance Scheme and I do not understand why. I have managed to get on lesser self-employment schemes to discover the Working Tax Credit Scam! I won't say too much at this stage as I am hoping to get some media exposure and letting the big cat out of the bag too soon could deflate my efforts here. Back in 2011 I had wanted to go on the New Enterprise Allowance Scheme but was forced on the Back To Work Programme for 2 whole years. Talk about scams! My experience on the Back To Work Programme was frustrating so say the least! Every time I tried to help myself there was always somebody telling me, "No. I can't do that..." I was supposed to be on the Back To Work Programme to get help and no help was forthcoming. So, it looks as though the people running those schemes were just making money off the misery of others. It got to a point where I was working alone in developing a business model that could work. When I came off the Back To Work Programme I was looking to complete my very own work on the New Enterprise Allowance Scheme (NEA). My advisor, Tim, had other plans. Anyway, I stuck to my guns and got on the NEA and then I got my first of many sanctions and sabotages to anything constructive that I do for myself - despite being I told that I would get help. I got the total opposite. SIGNED OFF I ceased my Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) come December of 2013 to be self-employed as I had stated. JCP Enfield seemed surprised that I would sign off in a bid to start and run my own business. I am a man of my word! I had signed on to Working Tax Credit while I worked on my business to make it generate an income. Things looked promising as I had gotten some help from an institution nearby me. Then come October 2015 I got a shock to discover that my Working Tax Credit had stopped. After a lengthy series of phone calls to the Tax Credits Office, I learned that I was supposed to have finished working for two companies that turned out to be one. Apparently, I had finished with one company in April 2015 and then finished with another company in May 2015. That did not make any sense. I had to call the main Tax Office to get a copy of my Employment Record and those companies that I was said to have worked for at the times that was stated that I did were not on there. Something was definitely fishy. Anyway, I proved that I had not worked for any other company from 2014 onwards and I had to reapply for Working Tax Credit. After drawing out the processing of my claim I was forced to sign up to Working Tax Credit as the help with the rent had stopped and I was close to being evicted. January 2016, I met with my so-called nasty piece of work "work coach" and that woman was so hard to work with that I had to request for another work coach. Because of my former work coach I got a 28-day sanction. I don't want to say too much about this woman as I am hoping to get some media coverage. Stay tuned... Watch this space! For some reason, JCP Enfield is trying to break me and I am not going to let it! No way!
