So, Camden Council realised their fuck uppery and reduced the "debt" I owe them. Not cancelled entirely, just reduced...

... However they REFUSED to cancel the "stop her benefits and give them to us instead!" order they sent to the DWP...

... So I'm still having my benefits taken to pay a non-existent debt. Hate having no independent income: The state can fuck w/ me for laughs

At least I found a purpose in life: "Dance little puppet, dance!" is presumably amusing someone at Camden Council.

It's nice to serve some useful purpose. If my despair wasn't keeping someone at the council with a love of schadenfreude entertained I would merely be just a useless scrounger off the state who added nothing whatsoever to society.
The woman said "We *only* want to take about £360 a week." Which is £150 more than my entire combined weekly income.

Apparently someone who should know better has fallen for the tabloid insinuation that all benefit claimants get £500 a week.
At least I live in London where no-one cares about someone in tears going down the street. Couldn't bear it if someone asked if I was OK.

Like my life wasn't fucking miserable enough.
