    HI,

    I have no idea why you're receiving messages from a different job centre. All you can do is ring UC and ask why you're receiving them.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
