💷 CITIZENS ADVICE — ARE YOU ASKING THEM TO LOOK FOR THE MONEY?
A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE I hope the following can support those who are in need of support, sometimes we just need a break from the fear to continue our process... This is what they do NOT tell you... I got this from someone who is a manager at 💷 CITIZENS ADVICE Just thought i should share ... ❤️ 💷 CITIZENS ADVICE — ARE YOU ASKING THEM TO LOOK FOR THE MONEY? Most people go to Citizens Advice because they're in debt and say: “Can you help me sort my debts out?” Fair enough. But here's the FINDOUTOLOGY question: 🔎 Have you asked them to look for the money and support available to you BEFORE you agree how you're going to repay everybody? Because there can be a whole landscape of support that people simply don't know exists. We're talking about things such as: 💷 Charitable grants 🏠 Rent and housing hardship assistance ⚡ Energy hardship funds and debt-support schemes 💧 Water affordability and debt-reduction schemes 🏛️ Council Tax hardship/discretionary assistance 👶 Grants specifically for children and families 🛏️ Help with beds, furniture, white goods and household essentials 👕 Clothing and school essentials 📱 Social tariffs for phone/broadband 🧑‍🔧 Occupational benevolent funds based on jobs you've done — including previous jobs 📍 Local and geographical charitable trusts 🩺 Funds connected to particular health circumstances 🆘 Local crisis/emergency assistance 🧾 Full benefit-entitlement checks 🛡️ Debt protections such as Breathing Space where appropriate And then there are the big grant-search gateways. 🔍 TURN2US Turn2us has a Grants Search covering 1,700+ grant-giving organisations. Even more interestingly, Turn2us provides an adviser version of its Grants Search with access to additional grant information beyond the public version. YES 1,700+ grant-giving organisations. So if you're sitting with an adviser, don't necessarily stop at: “Can you check if there are any grants?” Ask: “Can we run the full professional grants search using ALL of my circumstances?” Because eligibility can potentially come from something you would never have thought relevant:

2nd Charge Certificate same PCN
Can I have a review please of my reply to Bristol City Council. Bit of history. TEC dispelled the first charge. So I have received a further charge certificate for the same PCN. I have a SAR request submitted 3rd August 2026 waiting for the reply. ─── Subject: FORMAL NOTICE – Charge Certificate Issued Whilst Subject Access Request Remains Outstanding PCN Reference: BS65013520 Dear Sir or Madam, We write further to the above Penalty Charge Notice and, specifically, to the further Charge Certificate which has now been issued. A formal Subject Access Request (“SAR”) has already been submitted and remains outstanding. Within that request, we expressly and politely requested that no further enforcement charges or procedural escalation be undertaken pending proper fulfilment of the SAR. Notwithstanding that express request, a further Charge Certificate has now been issued. Outstanding statutory right of access For the avoidance of doubt, the SAR engages the statutory right of access provided for by the applicable data-protection regime, includingArticles 12 and 15 of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as applicable to the processing concerned. The purpose of the right of access is not merely administrative. It enables a data subject to obtain the personal data being processed, together with prescribed supplementary information, so that the processing and the factual record upon which decisions have been made may properly be understood and, where appropriate, its lawfulness verified. The Information Commissioner’s Office makes clear that a controller is ordinarily required to comply with a valid SARwithout undue delay and, in the ordinary course, within one month, subject only to the applicable statutory provisions concerning matters such as identification, necessary clarification, complexity and lawful extension. Further enforcement whilst material information remains outstanding We recognise that the making of a Subject Access Request does not, of itself, automatically impose a statutory stay upon every separate enforcement procedure.
SAR Request
Looking for thoughts on the following emails which is intended for Police also Bailiffs. Should I be adding what I believe should be in the recordings also, Police is a particular request from myself. The Bailiffs there are areas of my curtalige, outside buildings and barn areas of the property. Subject Access Request – Request for Verification of Completeness of Video Disclosure Dear Sir or Madam, I write further to the disclosure provided in response to my Subject Access Request. Having carefully reviewed the video recordings supplied, I have formed the view that they do not appear to comprise the entirety of the footage relating to my interaction with your officers and/or agents. Whilst I cannot reasonably identify the precise point at which any omission may have occurred within the recordings provided, I have a clear recollection of actions undertaken and words spoken during the incident which are not reflected within the disclosed footage. The absence of those events causes me to question whether the material disclosed represents the complete and unedited recordings held by your organisation. Accordingly, I respectfully request that the original recordings be reviewed against the material disclosed to me in order to verify that the response to my Subject Access Request is complete and that all personal data falling within the scope of my request has been provided. If additional recordings, earlier or later sequences, body-worn video, vehicle-mounted video, CCTV, audio recordings, or any other material containing my personal data exist, I request that such material be disclosed in full. In the interests of evidential integrity, I further request that all original recordings, together with their associated metadata, audit logs, disclosure records and any documentation recording the extraction, editing, redaction or copying of the footage, be preserved pending completion of this request. Preservation of such material will ensure that the provenance and continuity of the evidence can be independently verified should any question subsequently arise concerning the completeness of the disclosure.
