   I'm in the process of being threatened by Sheriffs' Officers for having been the unwitting recipient of an overpayment by a previous employer (DWP).

   Even though the former employer made the error, the amount of which I refuted, I am still being threatened with imminent action.

   I have tried to call the number on the notice of action, but regardless of which time of day I call, it's always busy.

   I've been tempted to reply by post, but know that takes time, so am stuck hoping that Sheriffs' Officers don't turn up at my door.
   I've contacted various people for advice, but the consensus seems to be either pay up, or go foe Voluntary Insolvency, neither of which appeals.'

   It's Political Incorrectness gone mad. But I bet that at least you can remember who your previous employer was.

   Welcome back Jen.

   Awesome! Mind you, Bedfordshire council is famously incompetent: they are almost to a man a bunch of stupid twats.

   Just heard it - good luck Godly, but I still can't understand why the actual perpetrator isn't putting his hand up to save you from all of this grief, if he is a friend.

    is 'bunch of arseholes' actually the right collective noun? perhaps 'tunnel'?

    As the more arseholes you have, the higher percentage of nothingness you have, maybe an emptiness of arseholes or a vacancy.
    Of course the best might just be a shitload.

    Up Date.
    After my last appearance on Three Counties Radio I was informed by a whistle blower from the council that my surname had been deemed blasmious to god and that is why I was getting special treatment.

    In January I finally had a meeting with Luton Council who told me they knew I was innocent but they wouldn't have the court order set aside and if I died they would get the money from my estate!

    End of Jan Luton Council told the Local Government Ombudsman they had no record of my complaint, this after 3 appeals, front page of local papper,4 times on local radio and the Independent traffic penalty tribunal.

    End of Jan I was banned by Hazel Simonds (Toad face) leader of Luton council from any contact with any employees or members of the council.

    Today I have an email from the Independent Traffic Penalty tribunal stating I lost an appeal over the phone on the 4th of March (I have no knowledge of this) but in another appeal I HAVE WON and Luton Council have been told to remove the court order and review all their procedures and they should of done this a year ago. Basically they have given the racist scum of Luton Council a good kick in.
    This was only possible because of my tory MP Andrew Selious, it just goes to show not all MPs are the same. Luton has two labour MPs and 40ish labour councillors. All of them did sweet FA to help me, what a bunch of complete WANKERS.

    Awesome effort!

    BTW, intrigued to know what your blasphemous last name is (or is it the obvious one - Godly??)

    It's the obvious one, There is only one god and apparently it isn't me. Personally I don't believe in god so its even more ridiculous that I am impersonating god by having the word god in my surname.

    Today I will be mainly running over all the tossers in Luton Council with a giant steam roller, drying them out in the hot sun and using them as paper to wipe my arse with :-)

    That's a pity. After being told by the council leader that you were banned from contact with any employees or members of the council, you could have cancelled your direct debit for their council tax, under the aegis of "no taxation without representation", and saved yourself a lifetime of tax expenditure.

    Did these people just get re-elected last week? Even though I'm not local, I would've happily joined your campaign to oust the incompetent arseholes before the election...

    Make sure the local press know about this - The Herts Advertiser and Luton on Sunday have carried stories online.
