Compensation for junkie ex-cons (UK)?
959128
I bet the criminals' victims can't believe it either. \n\nI think the government should have fought the legal action, not just caved in and give them the money. There are going to be some many more ex-cons trying to claim compensation now.

Contact the prosecutor's office.  Most have victim support programs that include money for the crime committed against you.

Unless you get a lawyer to contest the forfeiture it will happen.  They don't have to goto court under the law.  All they must show is that the money was tied into illegal operations.  This is a lower standard then finding you gulity of a crime.  If the money was tied into a drug business in any way, at any time then legally they can take it.

Mate, be warned. Don't let them in. Here, read this and follow the link to find many more on this scam:\n\nOn January 28th 2006, there was a young lady selling magazine subscriptions. I've always been leary about sales people at your door, I said I wasn't interested, but she persisted and I gave in. I ordered Dirt Rider Magazine for my boyfriend as a gift. I made out a check to SSA for 34.00 supposedly for that magazine and for a years subscription. He began getting Good Housekeeping Magazine at the end of April 2006. He has still be getting this magazine, but most are delivered ripped up, pages missing, and skipping dates and months. \n\nI went online to see if I could find a phone number for this company to ask what is going on, and I found this website while searching for SSA. Has anyone got in touch with these people? Any money back? Next time I will go with my instincts and not order anything from anyone at my door. I have moved from the neighborhood that they scoured and made money off of, and now I live in a place where they or anyone selling anything can't enter and if they do, the police are called and they are given a treaspass order and if they come back they are arrested. And it has actually already happened with two men trying to get into people's homes supposedly trying to clean carpets and when told I'm going to call the cops, they would high tail it out of here, but were finally caught.\n\nTricia\nWinter Garden, Florida\nU.S.A.\n\n\nhttp://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff195667.htm

I know you mean council tax, anyhow the lady in question was wrong not to pay her bill. I agree that carting someone off to jail for a minor offence is abominable when paedophiles are being set free.If only more people complained in this country, look at France, they have a riot every time the government there cocks up!It's time we stopped adopting the "stiff upper lip" attitude and started to show the politicians who their bosses are, us the taxpayer!

Id say place a complaint viamany outlets to ur disposal like multiple nortariesd copries or papers sent to the head or the one who handles the "customer serves" in every department possible(but then u might be thiught of as a pest depends on the severity of the crime)in you countys court/police along with several calls almost on a daily baisis expressing ur the toll tht the current situation is a burdon on you ablity to function as a lucrative member of youthe sociaty  but remember ALWAYS on the beging of the conversation  BEING WITH A HELLO AND WHO AM I SPEAKING TO"  write the names down along withe times and dates. so u may show proof of your commitment.

This is a family court issue. Go see your solicitor (first times free so you can decide on wot to do), the overdose last month may not help your cause but if you can prove you have sorted your drink problem out it will really help. I went through similar last year with my ex girlfriend and my son. You should be able to get legal aid if you arent working or at least a payment towards the costs. \n\njust added: wotever you do, do not make any contact with your ex or kids.. the solicitor will do all that thru the post and be prepared to have your ex use every trick in the book to make you out as a bad mother.\n\nTake no notice of him, be calm and polite at all times and go for it!!\n\nGood Luck

there was a man in upper management I worked with that confessed to me that he used to be a drug dealer in his twenties and was caught driving drunk or high a few times, and he was in jail for nearly 15 years. He left and got a job immediately in a telemarketing agency and he became so good at it that he immediately rose in rank and was pulling in close to 5000 a month; he then moved on to managing at the telemarketing place and kept rising internally. By the time I had a brief stint at the company at the lowest rank, he was making in plenty of money and was very satisfied, married and with children. And he always spoke openly about how, if you're good at what you do, you could shoot to the top in that company. I sadly hadn't the notoriety and the annoying qualities to telemarket very well and the most I made commission wise was a 250 dollar bonus... ah well.

All excellent points - and the simple truth is that people **DO** afford criminals more rights than victims. It isn't politically correct to do otherwise.\n\nHowever in the US, a very interesting project has been set up. In short although people cannot be FORCED to submit to corporal punishment - some criminals can VOLUNTEER to be treated in that way under some conditions - and perhaps get reduced jail time in return.\n\nLots of details here http://www.okplus.com/fedup/index.html \n\nVery interestingly, they presently have a ZERO recidivism level for people that have been through their system.\n\nDo not be thrown by the site, the program is still running BUT the website is badly in need of some updating (or was when I last looked)\n\nI think one hangup people have about corporal punishment, is the perceived severity of it. The old UK / USA way of flogging across the back in fact left little more than "shaving nicks" - if it cut at all.\n\nAnyone who has seen too many "Mutiny on the bounty" style films and wishes to disagree should try to remember that the make-up department tends to get more than a little carried away.\n\nWet rope is not sharp enough or dense enough to "lay a mans back open to the bone" Something does not need to cut to be felt ;)\n\nThe scheme mentioned above in fact uses low-voltage cable as a cheap disposable lash material. Like the rope, little or no cutting at all - but apparently the welts are quite tender at the time.\n\nI just wish we had a system like this in the UK too, I think it could be a valuable tool to help people stay out of prison and to reduce the prison population. Nanny-state in the UK though at the moment so not much chance for a while yet.

You just get an extension through community corrections.  I owe 20 hours and have done for about 6 years, I keep getting a 12 month extension.  I even got some of my hours turned into cash fines and now pay it off at $20 a fortnight through SPER (QLD)

can you charge them for miss conduct? they promised to do a job they haven't done?\n\nis it the agencies responsibility to clear mess left by a tenant? isn't that why private tenants pay security deposits?\n\nask a solicitor, you will get 30Min's free from some. nothing is worse than a ripped off feeling, i do hope you get sorted soon and maybe you should raise your security deposits to cover any losses in the future. there are some really nasty people out there.

No you do not have to pay. You can just tell them that that is a bit much and you would like to go elsewhere. Get your stuff back and go someplace else. I hope you do go some where else!!
