Default to complain about telecoms companies

Back in the land of the living - temporarily at least!!
On the 13th of July a digger cut through our, and several neighbours telephone lines. Yesterday, 3 weeks to the day, we managed to get a provisional line after hours of futile telephone conversations, 5 visits from technicians, 2 letters of complaint and a burofax (a kind of notarized letter). Of course this could all end at any time because it's provisional and Telefónica are still supposed to dig everything up and re-lay the line...
Anyway, yesterday I was talking to a friend who is having hige problems with Vodaphone and she told me about this
Oficina de Atención al Usuario de Telecomunicaciones - Oficina de Atención al Usuario de Telecomunicaciones
Hard as it may be to believe, this is a page set up by the Ministerio de Industria, Turismo y Comercio to guide consumers through the complaint procedure to a telephone company, such is the number of complaints.

Incredible.

Why don't they just pass a few laws and then see that they are adhered to???

Default Employment/unemployment

OK, here's a list of what you need to "cobrar el Paro"get unemployment benefit
La documentación básica que hay que presentar incluye:
  • Impreso de solicitud de la prestación por desempleo cumplimentado. Hay que indicar los datos personales.
  • Original del DNI o NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjeros) y una fotocopia.
  • Impreso de domiciliación bancaria, en el que debemos indicar la entidad y el número de cuenta donde queremos que nos ingresen la prestación. Una vez cumplimentado hay que llevarlo al banco para que lo vise, es decir, para que confirme que los datos de la domiciliación son correctos. Luego hay que entregarlo a la oficina de empleo.
  • Comunicación de datos al pagador. Es un impreso del Ministerio de Hacienda que hay que rellenar con datos personales como el número de hijos para que se nos aplique la retención correspondiente del IRPF de acuerdo con nuestra situación particular.
  • Compromiso de actividad. El beneficiario de la prestación por desempleo ha de firmar este documento por el que se compromete a buscar trabajo activamente, presentarse a cubrir las ofertas de trabajo que le facilite la oficina de empleo, aceptar ofertas adecuadas y participar en acciones de información y orientación, etc.
  • Autorización para recoger información de la Agencia Tributaria. El beneficiario ha de autorizar a la oficina de empleo para que pueda consultar informáticamente ciertos datos fiscales. Si no la autoriza, deberá aportar él mismo esa información.
  • Certificado de empresa (rellenado, sellado y firmado) de los últimos 180 días cotizados. Este documento hay que pedirlo en la empresa. Deben entregarse en la oficina de empleo tantos certificados como empresas donde se haya trabajado en los últimos seis meses.
  • TC-2 de los últimos 180 días cotizados sellados por la entidad financiera (fotocopias). Este documento también hay que pedirlo a la empresa, excepto si está acogida al sistema RED. En ese caso la oficina de empleo puede acceder a la información que necesita informáticamente.
  • Última nómina y fotocopia de cada relación laboral finalizada en los últimos 180 días cotizados.
  • Documentación que acredita la situación legal de desempleo. La más habitual es la carta de despido, el contrato y la comunicación de cese, el acta del CMAC o la sentencia judicial.
La oficina de empleo facilita los impresos correspondientes a los puntos 1, 3, 4, 5 y 6. El interesado ha de pedir a la empresa los documentos de los puntos 8, 9 y 10.


The things in red are the things you're supposed to get from the company

(5/11/11) it seems also that INEM is no longer INEM as stated here
Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal
It is SEPE, Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal
