Anyway to clear my name?

LostGirl88

Hi All.

Recently I got caught up in a Bull**** storm.
A former friend's mother has accused me of reporting her and her husband to the dole - they are on the same claim and allegedly he was working.
However, it wasn't me, and I would like to somehow prove it wasn't, as my name is being blackened.

Was just wondering, is there anything I can do? Thanks.

unless you have any physical proof that you didn't, I think that would be kind of difficult as it sounds like a matter of he said she said, and after that it's up to people which story they believe unfortunately.

In the very recent past social welfare used to give out a small reward to those who did the reporting. Not sure if this is still the case. Were you friends with these people in the past for a stretch? The devil they know is better than the devil they don't know. In this case, they see you as the evil one. Did you buy a TV/ etc recently, they might think you used such reward to buy it.

Let them talk crap. You know you didn't do it so that's all the validity you need. Keep your head held high and don't lower yourself. They were the ones doing the dirty deed, not you even if you had reported it. It will all blow over soon so just let it be.

Merkin

Solicitors letter threatening to sue them for slander should do the trick

Thanks for all that help and advice guys!
It will all come in use, and I am more confident about things. Coz as you might guess, it can be frustrating.
It was my former good friend's Mum who's doing this ****.
I went in the dole earlier to ask if there was anything they could do, but no.
I've learned a lot about that woman's character, she is what she appears to be in my posts. That's all I'm going to say, was just looking for some help, and I sure got it Cheers again

Thanks Merkin! That sounds like a good option. Didn't realise it was slander.

Next time they start mouthing off just tell them that you wish it had been you that reported them now given the amount of sh*t they're giving you so can go F.O.A.D.

Flippancy aside, ignore them. You really think your good name is worth their scorn?

They should be trying to clear their names the thieving scum

Or serving time.

Why do these people think you were the one to report them? Where did they get this idea from??

I'd just try to ignore it now. But if it continues, then I'd follow Merkin's advice...

Op if they are telling everyone you reported them i bet most people are thinking "good on her!", I know I would be.

Someone reported her a few weeks ago, and I had a falling out with her and have nothing to do with her.. It's complicated & I've to deal with other **** too.. She's just one of those poisonous women, who have dug a hole for herself, and trys to blame everyone but themselves.. She's saying bad things about me, and during a rant in a text to a friend of mine, said she was probably the one telling lies to the social..
I'm 26, she's tippin' 50.. I feel like she's got a grudge against me.. I can't talk to many people about it, so when I had that last dilemna, I decided to come and ask advice from you guys.

Thanks again, you've been helpful and supportive - enough to give me strength to deal with her **** ha.. - queue Rocky music lol
