While I was away I got another angry letter from France Travail.
Because they said I hadn’t replied in time to their first letter my chômage entitlement had been suspended.
I decided it was time to pay them a visit in person.
On Monday I talked to three women at the counter who checked and said that the director had received my letter of explanation and all I could do was wait.
They did suggest I come back to scan in some information from Euronews which I hadn’t brought with me.
So on Tuesday I went back and saw a different woman. And she was much more proactive.
She admitted it was their fault and went straight off to raise my case with the director, took my phone number and said she’d ring me with an update soon.
Then she rang this morning to say it had been sorted.
With a bit of luck, I might be able to send them my forms before the end of the week.
