Just a word of caution

[Ginsing]

My Fibro friends a word of caution - do take care do not be drawn into things that you are perfectly able to do yourselves. Remember we are here to help you at all times , we offer guidance , sympathy, honesty, with love and affection we do not do charges we are just fellow sufferers who can help for nothing.

We give our time to ease your pain and hopefully stop you falling into traps that can cost you such a lot of your money.

I am rambling just remember a contract a bit like a high credit card charges ,when you pay 30% means £30.00 of your money for every hundred pounds you will receive. Think is this good I think not. You would say no to a credit card with terms like this wouldn't you

I would personally take time and always check the pros and cons

before I say yes to anything. yours thoughtfully xgins

Wise words dear gins, and thank you, so many people offering stupid offers everywhere at the moment, how they are allowed to advertise on television in the way they do is quite beyond me, and no loan, especially of this sort do not come with some very long strings attached. In these difficult times it is sometimes very enticing to think of "easy money" with "easy repayments", but many many people have found out, much to their detriment that it is not "easy" at all !!!

Thank you again for pointing this up

I think Gins post is referring to the 30% charged by My Benefit Claim. On a personal note, I am more than happy to pay this fee to be rid of the stresses involved and the overall apprehension when dealing with DLA claims, especially if he gets the desired results. I am a very capable person, but feel the whole system is designed to make you give up and it does become too much. I feel as long as people are made fully aware of the cost's involved, which I was from their website, and Liam from My Benefit Claim explained clearly by telephone, then there should not be an issue. After all, we pay for specialist legal advice and assistance, this is no different.

I wasnt aware but our council had a specific person to help with all of this.

I have been waiting since January and have wrote to local MP .

However the council had a Customer Income Maximisation Officer who came out and helped complete the form for nothing and she was lovely and so understanding.
