Welcome to the DAD.Info forum: Important Information – open to read:
Our forum aims to provide support and guidance where it can, however we may not always have the answer. The forum is not moderated 24 hours a day, so If you – or someone you know – are being harmed or in immediate danger of being harmed, call the police on 999.
Alternatively, if you are in crisis, please call Samaritans on 116 123.
If you are worried about you or someone you know is at risk of harm, please click here: How we can help
Do not let them into your house - so do not open the door to them, do not open even a window downstairs, as any of this can be classed as allowing them access - either speak to them through the letterbox, or from a window upstairs. Speak to either citizens advice bureau or stepchange.org (debt management charity) for advice (do not go to any organisation that charges you for managing your debt). The debt needs to be paid, so you have to face that, but you need to arrange a way of doing this that will be accepted by CMS. If you avoid it, then eventually, the court can appoint a bailiff, and I believe that they then have a right to force entry into your home.
Welcome to the DAD.info forum.
We don’t like to set ‘rules’, but to make sure that you and the other dads are kept safe, we have some requests. When engaging with the forum, please be aware of the following:
- The forum is not moderated 24 hours per day.
- Many of the moderators do so on a voluntary basis. Whilst they may be able to provide some guidance, advice or support, they may not be able to deal with specifics.
- We are not an emergency crisis service so if you or someone else is in immediate danger, please call emergency services.
- If you are concerned about the safety of a child, please click here to find the support you can get for them (link to new page)
- If you are in crisis, please call Samaritans on 116 123. They are open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
We hope you find this forum a supportive environment and thank you for joining us.
