Thats odd, someone must have had my share then. I didn't pay it while I was a student and I never ended up in court.

Hey, don't mention forms; I'm currently trying to do HC1 (for help with healthcare costs) and it's a pain in the rectum.

Is that the one to make you exempt from health costs when you don't fit any of the categories they have? As I have one of those waiting for me if it is...

Bagpuss

Yeah. I have to dig out proof of my grant and loan and send them off. I just hope I can find them.

I was so proud when I found, see I fit a total of none of the categories as they can't grasp that I'm happily unemployed doing voluntary work and so aren't claiming benefit and thus am apparently not unemployed...

I'm happily employed. Well, I'm happy when the pay cheque comes in. smiley - smiley

smiley - stout please, Menza. (Happy that she sorted out the council tax people but wonders why the Inland Revenue wants to charge her tax on zero income).

Yes see so you fit a tick box too... I think I'm actually quite proud not to fit any of them though smiley - smiley

Here you both go.

I felt quite proud when the census form came round and my official job title didn't fit in the box. smiley - biggrin

Major Admission - I didn't fill in a Census Form. smiley - biggrin

The boxes on that form were so tiny, you could hardly fit anything of use in them... Mind you I didn't fit any of the categories in that either. They seem to assume that if you're unemployed you must be looking for work but there must be so many people taking Gap Years which raises interesting questions about the unemployment figures...

But they would be sort of constant each year so they wouldn't add extra. smiley - smiley
