HI
I was just wondering if anyone has come across any of these problems.Im not really sure were i stand.
1 Mum lived in sheltred accomadation,paid for buy the council,she received a pension and attendance allowance each week---£240.00
2 She has no assests,no savings apart from £400.00 i found in her flat .
I phoned the council to tell them she was going in care and would be giving up the flat,that was fine,i then asked if she owed any money {she only had to pay x amount each fortnight to cover her heating} but they said they couldnt tell me that its confedential,shell have to ring them.!!!!!!!!!!! out of the question.
3 Im resposable for removing all unwanted items,meaning ive had to pay to have the bed, sette, freezer ,ect removed.I did use some of her money i found but felt guilty about that as thats all she has.
4 She seems to have over the last couple of years got a couple of credit cards ,ive phoned them and explained ,but they said well well have to come to some arrangement to pay it of.
5 She also had a loan from what i would call a loan shark,borrow 500.00,pay back £1000.00 and this bloke has been round my house a few times now asking what home shes in {not going to tell him} and asking how much she can afford to give him each week.
6 Her phone andtv were with NTL {vigin}and when i phoned them they said if i authorised the phone to be disconnected then im responsiable for the bill.Its only £90.
I dont know what im supposed to do,They said she gets 19.10 a week now,how am i meant to pay all these out of that.I thought i was doing the right thing by telling all these people,seems not.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation.
JOY
