  • And Breathe…

    Okay.

    I’ve just found out what the “FUNDS TRANSFER” which has been going out of my account – most months, for the past few months, is. It’s been one of those things, because I’ve been making my bills I just assumed it was something I’d set up and forgotten about; a payment to Telewest perhaps, or nPower, or some similar thing.

    But no. Oh no. This is money that’s been taken from my account – as far as I am aware without my permission by my business account manager. Or some minion there of. To pay off the loan to my ex-partnership – where I’ve already paid off half the fucking loan. The other half should be in debt management with my ex-business partner but ‘oddly’ they keep getting the wrong documents.

    I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get around to sorting this out, and I’m furious, raging, & incredibly angry that they’ve deemed it ‘acceptable’ to take money from my account without my permission (aka steal). I’m waiting for a call back from my ‘esteemed’ business account manager (the one who’d rather I go into debt management and they get fuck-all-back overall than actually take a decsion).

    This is, as far as I’m concerned, theft. And I hope to hell I can get this fucking money back.

  • Turning it all around

    So, I’ve got no money coming in this month beyond the basic – the income I ‘always’ get – although I might manage to get paid by the NHS for my commuting fees – but that’s (a) in the future and (b) less than 1/3rd of what I’d hoped to earn over this month.

    So, I could (very easily) decide to curl up in a ball and wait for the ‘summer holiday’ to end; but that’s not going to happen. Nuh uh. What I’ve got to do is use this as an opportunity. There are countless things I’ve wanted to do. Now, most I can’t actually do because I’ve got no money to do them. But there are a few tasks for which I’m already prepared.
