MAXIMUS in Austrailia

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2015/02/23/4183437.htm

If you ever thought Maximus would be any different than the current corrupt lot, think again. They are corrupt in America and Australia. So why should they be different in the UK? The answer is they aren't, they are the same ex ATOS employees, the same LIMA software.

Just like the UK, Australia has areas that were vibrant 50 years ago, just as they was areas in the UK in the 1900's. In Australia Maximus use the name MAX employment solutions, but they are anything but an employment solution.
They are corrupt using any tactic they can think of to say a person has a job or should be sanctioned even just the person not handing over the sheet or the adviser not been there.
Why don't they write out a contract for the adviser to sign saying

1. Any errors notified to you and not corrected the company promise to pay me $50 for each error on each occasion
2. Any forging of a signature, copy and pasting included, the company promise to pay me $1000 for each occurrence 
3. In every case of me providing a signature a duplicate will be provided for me to sign and take with me as evidence, if another form has to be requested the company will pay me $100
4.  The claimant has the right to fully read any paperwork they are asked to sign and refuse to sign anything they do not agree with, without any loss or penalty.
5. Anything signed, and later found that the company in order to obtain a signature the company agrees to pay the claimant $10,000
6. In no circumstances will I (the claimant) sign anything to receive something that is offered to me as free.
7.  I [NAME] act as a witness to agreeing these terms with [CLAIMANTS NAME] and I been the manager [MANAGERS NAME] agree to the terms and conditions in the above document, on behalf of [Company] all payment to be made within 7 days or they increase by 50% of the original amount.

Take 3 copy's so the manager and the adviser can be given one and one can be taken away as evidence, they won't sign so just do as little as possible with them to find work

YOUR SANCTIONED

Just imagine you turn up at the job centre plus for your usual signing on or other appointment, like a work focused interview, only to be told you are going to be sanctioned because they sent you a previous letter and you didn't turn up.
This is the first you've heard of this, you think there is nothing you can do about it and will just have to ride it out the best you can. Well actually you can do something you can fight the corrupt bastards by asking them to supply a copy of the proof of postage and, HERE'S THE CLINCHER, proof of receipt!

In my opinion I call the second part the CLINCHER because they cannot provide any proof of receipt. These letters, if they are ever sent out, will just be pushed through your letterbox with the everyday mail. I have a little trick that you can use to get them to admit this and that is email the cunts!
Your email should go along the lines of

[NAME]                           [FIRST LINE OF ADDRESS]                              [NINO]
                                                                                                                 national insurance number

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

Please make sure this gets to the correct department

On [DATE] I was informed I would be sanctioned because of a missed appointment, please provide me with the following information

1. A copy of the appointment letter showing the date and time of the missed appointment
2. The date this letter was posted with a copy of proof of postage
3. Proof of postage of receipt of such letter by the claimant or someone at the said address

For each action that you cannot comply with please state a vilid reason as this will be used as evidence against the DWP/JCP in any future action for compensation and prosection of department staff/managers for FRAUD.
In this action I will claim 3/5/10 times the weekly stoppages, or part of the week.

Yours

[NAME]
[PRINT NAME]

If they cannot prove you received a letter, usually a proof of receipt, then a court should have no option but to find against the DWP/JCP.
Amend in yellow to chosen option

 If you follow this through be prepared for a long fight, they may cave in, but they expect the claimant to be the one to cave first. This is only natural as the DWP/JCP think that without money the claimant will submit, but don't be fooled sometimes the county courts will take cases where money is the hardship for free. You could also let local papers know the DWP are been taken to their local court for fraud you never know it may gain interest.

The great MATCH & MORE rip off

There is a rip off going on in the high street, YES that right a rip off in the high street, it's called the Morrison's match & more card. Why are you been ripped off with this? I'll tell you why, it's because they will not do comparison's on items the other place has at a reduced price.
Aldi constantly reduce the price of items in their stores. Morrison's say they will match or beat every other supermarket on price but only on groceries! Today Aldi had iceberg lettuce at 45p but Morrison's was 49p a difference of 4p. The on-line site says they will
We price match branded and comparable own label grocery products, including fresh food, and even those that are on promotion elsewhere.
Given that I got 2 jars of coffee on offer at £2.49 ASDA had it at £2.47 that's 20 points  per jar plus the lettuce and cucumber a total of 120 points and I am sure if I did the full ALDI store I could have  got a lot more. As an introductory offer they gave about 1400 points meaning customers had to get about 3600 points for their first £5 voucher. The only use I can see for this card is to use when you fill the car with fuel, as you have to spend £15 and have a qualifying item to get points. As I said it's basically a card to use and get points on when you fill the car up with fuel as living so close to the supermarket, Morrison's, & not driving due to medical conditions, I may as well sling the card in the bin.

Mcvile work and pensions benefits sanctions

Benefit sanctions see people say fuck you JCP and not turn up at JCP in effect dropping out of the system
http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=17193

McVile and Chris Heyes a strategy director from DWP the DWP have more directors than the Titanic had staff.
The minimum sanction doubled in time to 4 weeks while the the maximum time went to 3 years, that's not doubling the time it's increasing the time by 6 times. The first question thrown at McVile was how would sanctions help? McVile did a typical response of avoiding the question even when told to answer it and she was basically avoiding giving a response. McVile said and I quote " best support, the right support. Underpins the effectiveness and fairness." Utter bullshit from McVile!
The witch goes on to say "sanction have a positive impact on getting people back into work." "It has a positive effect of moving people into work as a deterrent."

McVile goes on about the Netherlands and Germany and deterrents along with extra support who does the slut McVile think she can kid. Taking up offers of work and support we hear of JCP managers putting letters in claimants files saying they were sent just so they can inflict a sanction on the claimant. There is no support for claimants it's us against the DWP/JCP

Anyway just watch the link above I will possibly put my fist through the screen if I go through it again    

New wardrobe update

Today they picked up the wardrobe, the original price was £999 but I got it in the sale for £599.54 they said the pick up would be between 15.00 and 18.00 they turned up at 13.35, so much for time slots I bet they were hoping I wouldn't be in.
Well unluckily for them I was in, they had to take it including the back that had dropped off when I moved the wardrobe to get into bed. One slat dropped out when I picked up one end the others when I put it down.
They called at 16:37, I missed the call, but if it was to offer me a replacement they can forget it as the quality of the product wasn't worth £200 never mind the £600 I paid, I was told it was an end of line product but on their site today they have them in stock at the price I paid, I bet the call was to arrange a delivery of a replacement, if so they can feck off I want a refund, if that's their game they have got a battle they will never win.

New wardrobe

about a week ago I ordered a solid wood wardrobe, it was delivered today, my son was in for the delivery. My son unpacked the wardrobe to put together, he shredded the packaging as he went but when he got to the double wardrobe he noticed that the back was smashed. He called me while I was out doing some shopping to tell me he had called them and what I had to do, simply email customerserviceATjdglobal.co.uk and send photo's of the damaged item, simple I hear you say!

Well it was anything but simple first I went through their site but the broken item the 2 door top wardrobe would not let me click on it and choose 1, it's as if they had not put this part in the set or deliberately sent the faulty item in the hope I would not send it back due to their stupid rules like paying return costs, well they have another thing coming, no one should be out of pocket for damaged goods.

Second attempt I used the email address given to my son, customerserviceATjdglobal.co.uk, I wrote out the email attached the 3 photo's the full item photo was not possible because in the first one then sent it within 5 minutes I had a delivery failure notification

Attempt number 3 this time I sent a general enquiry, but with no photo's, possibly goes to the same office, and is just responded too, or as maybe the case not responded too. I found a face book page, oak furniture land problems  knowing what I know after this delivery I wouldn't have bought from them.

I also hit on the idea of emailing the CEO of oak furniture land as well so sent him an email with the 3 pictures I had put in the bounced email. If it only pisses him off it will be enough, and if they say I have got to accept a repair them comes the master stroke I will contact my bank for a chargeback claim citing faulty goods and send them the pictures and the amount I want to claim back if I lose I will then go to the financial ombudsman service and if necessary take action in court against the CEO of oak furniture land.
 £600, minus a few pence is a lot of money for an item that should last a lifetime. It didn't make it to my home undamaged, it either got knocked over and broke in a warehouse or in transit somewhere

One thing about oak furniture land is that after the delivery you don't see any items as previously ordered. The Phoenix Shabby Chic Solid Mango Triple Wardrobe 2 Door Top, is the damaged part that is the one that won't let me put a 1 next to the item and follow on to next and say it's damaged, this leads me to thinking they knew the item was, or may be damaged, before they sent it and altered it on their site so I couldn't report a damaged product.

Today I got 3 calls all missed from oak furniture land then around 16.30 a 4th one, I get that one, they have been told to contact me about the wardrobe by the CEO after I contacted him so some good has come out of it. They ask if I would like to look on their site for another 3 door wardrobe but they have none in that price range of £600 the next one is £699 then £750 or £799 more than I wanted to pay because I also have a new bed coming.
I am stuck with the busted wardrobe until the 27th when they will collect it then when they have it back give a refund.  

DAILY SIGNING ON

Some people are now asked to sign on daily and in some cases they miss out attending places that, unlike JCP (Job Centre Plus) actually has the means of allowing people to look for work.
These drop in centres, as they are known, have computers so people can browse agency sites where many jobs are advertised but don't get put in the universal jobs match site because they only offer a week here or there, sometimes only a days work.

You are paid by the agency at the end of each week/month, just a weeks work every other week can mean you get more then signing on many people do this rather than sign on there are times when you go weeks without any work, but there are times you are never out of work going from one temp job to another.

I knew someone who did this work but they used to tell the firm they were working for to call them direct if they wanted someone for a day or week, they now work full time for one of the employers but they still get calls to go in and work for other employers. This person cut out the agency by getting a day/weeks work at a place and giving them their mobile number, all employers took the number as they could get someone to do the job and cut the agency out of the picture.
