i know the feeling, went to the jobcentre today to see about signing on. they said because i have been out the country for 6 years, i had prove i was british! and because i have not worked here, my contributions to the state have fallen behind. if i dont make back payments i can be taken to court and have them stopped from any employment until they are up to date! how bull**** is that!

And yet if you had lived here all of your life but never worked, they'd happily shower you with money. It's a silly system we have in this country.

Tell them to go poke their heads up their own arse's. If you are not working, there is no obligation to make contributions. You can at any time write to the DWP and ask how much it will cost to make up missing contributions. I had to have 44 years and it cost me very little to make up the 6 years I was missing as a result of my time in Africa. Now only 30 years (I think) contributions are needed for a full state pension so they are just ****ing you about. I had similar experiences until I conned the head office into thinking I was actually African and not English, then they tied themselves in knots sorting things out.

They may have no idea of what contributions you have made, they lost millions of records when the NI and Tax computers were combined a few years ago.

If they have lost your records, they will not admit it, what they will do is ask you to confirm with evidence your contributions and employment, this is to your advantage as with a little imagination you can push them into giving you contribution years that you don't have

crafty F****r

HMRC drones and their AUTHORISED Solicitors can be tangled in knots

Always use recorded delivery. You can have fun if you have the time and the money making counter claims against them

The transmission and diff's are barely up to coping with the 4.6 V8, a V12 would destroy the transmission in no time

Hey sas1810, could I get a job in the underpigeon workshop? My Range Rover manual tells me I need to keep the battery warm in winter. Problem being, its parked in the road; so peeps would either nick my 2 bar heater out of the open engine bay, or plug their Christmas lights into the extension lead I ran thru' the letterbox. So this year - wood burner conversion - whaddya reckon?......
