Hi, hoping someone can help.

I received a letter from Southwark council saying I would receive a cheque for ?88 and some pence due to the water charges refund, and this is the confusing part.

The end of June I saw a credit of ?92 on my rent statement , but as I was ?5 in arrears, it took it down to ?88 and some pence, but around two weeks I saw a debit of ?88 on my rent statement, which means I now have ?70 on my rent account this week, but I paid enough rent to make sure I wouldn't have to pay until next week.

I called someone from the rent team and he did try and explain but I really didn't understand.

I was just wondering if anyone could help, as I feel that the council haven't actually refunded me any money, as it seems that they credited my rent account then debited it weeks later.

Thank you

hi there the way it works with Southwark council os it puts the money on to your rent account minus the arrears then debits the lesser amount back out of the rent account, basically the balance minus the amount will be sent out to you in a cheque. Its a really odd way to do it but southwark never do anything in a normal fashion................hope it helps

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
