With the OP being on a state pension, the DWP website says they cannot touch your'e state pension.

I know it's not the DWP the OP is dealing with, I may be wrong, but does this not apply to anyone? Is it not UK law that people must always be left with enough money to live on, and no one can touch your'e state pension?

Not exactly true. Your state pension is included as income and if the income is over £11850, current amount, then you are taxed on the amount over that figure.

To my knowledge, no one would get a DWP pension of this amount. Aslo, Nationeide Building Society would deduct tax on any interest before paying said interest. I am sure this is a scam email. I would suggest, as others have stated, contact the HMRC direct via phone. Look up their phone details seperatly from the email received.

Did they not bring in a law saying red plates can only be used for a very small number of days/ The plates belong to a motor dealer, so they should know which vehicle was using their plates when an offence was committed. 

Not all red plates belong to dealers, It is very easy to get a set of red plates made. I know of at least 3 places that make them to order, in a very small area of the town. You only have to ask to pointed in the right direction.

It's not possible to edit the first post anymore. But also think on the case someone is having a Fixed Account Passbook. In this case it's not possible to make a deposit anyway.

No,but the interest over the past year is entered on the day you get the bank letter, so should be no problem. At least, it never has at KK up to now.

I had tennis elbow about 20 years ago, very painful in my experience. Al kinds of braces were tried but nothing seemed to work. Then one of the nurses suggested acupuncture and would I like to try it.

Three treatments over three weeks and I have not had any problems since.

If you can find a hospital or clinic that will perform this treatment, I highly recommend it.

It's great to see the UK and Thai police working together like this. Such a shame that the UK police are stalling the Red Bull case though, preventing the esteemed Thai forces from catching the man they promise us they are doing all they can to apprehend. ????

The UK cops are far too busy sat at their computers looking for hate and racist crime to be bothered with serious stuff.

A deposit A/C would require a will, to release the mony after probate. A card is not usually given with this type of A/C

I thought that a person "passing" would be the same as a person "dying"!

Wouldn't that depend on what you are "Passing"?????

Drugs and alcohol are obviously a contributing factor but, it is the repressive upbringing and in most cases a lack of education, which is repressive in its self, which is the main problem. From the Hi, So's down, it is repression all the way to keep the masses under control.

I rented a house from a Thai cop some years ago, while our own house was being built. I had no issues with him at all. I met him twice and he seemed to be OK. No problem when my wife asked if we could fit an electri shower. We were told it had to stay when we left so it was a cheap one. No problems. I guess it depends on the person you rent from I mean wew are not going to start a war.

i always visit CW immigration alone and have always found the IOs to be helpful, patient and prepared to speak and explain in english. sure some have better english than others but it could be that because you have a thai with you it makes the IOs reluctant to speak english with you? i also prefer to connect directly with IOs not rely on translation/interpretation by a third party - even a wife or gf. this approach has served me well over the years in thailand and other countries.

Great for you and others on a retiement extension. Those who are on Marriage extensions have to have their wive with them.

I have a deposit account with KrungThai bank which I use for my annual retirement extension. I have never put money into or taken money out of this account for the past five years. When I get the letter from the bank, they update the book showing the interest payment. This is always accepted by KK immigration office without exception.

I am intent on taking my savings A/C book which shows transactions in and out when I go next time, just in case I am asked to show my means of living expenses.

Is it possibile to go to any office, or does the residence certificate have to tie up with the area the office covers?

It has to be done in the area your residence cert covers.

Just joking 

Well, I have to admit I used to be perfect, but I'm better now.

I only use Air con at night and keep to 25c. As air con dries the atmosphere in a room, I also keep a small dish of water on a stand under the unit. This stops the air from drying out and leaving you with a very fry mouth in the mornings.

I got feel back from a Farang for using the word " Backwards " in the way Thai government and that includes police in how they think! Personally, this falls in the category as just that.

It was reported there is over 1,000,000 outstanding tickets issue so put it in the trash with the rest of your garbage where it belongs.

This just shows when it comes to the police here the saying " The light is on but no one is home "????

Yes agreed, and the elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top

I guess the number plate on the car was probably cleaner and more clearly legibly so that was the one the recognition software on the camera system picked out of the image. The trucks one was probably filthy dirty. Seems to make sense to me to still send the ticket to the car owner so that they can provide info as to the owner of the truck...

You are being logical. TIT

An easy way for the Consular services to verify income, would be to provide a computer terminal to allow access to the Gov.uk site.

From this, your government gateway. can be accessed with all your personal tax details available, which PROVES your income. If printed on site, what more proof would they require?

Unfortunately this would involve a visit to Bangkok each year for all who require the income letter.

Or perhaps another way could be found to enable postal service for the same details.

Just a thought

All TM6 data goes into a computer. Why can't they press a button each morning and the computer comes up with a list of new over-stayers. Matching arrival with departure cards. Each TM6 has an address. Check them out.

If they can't find that person, they're added to the over-stayers list that when caught, they'll be black-listed.

It really shouldn't be hard in this day and age. 

 

It really shouldn't be hard in this day and age. ...Not for the average immigration officer, wherever. But TIT!
