    Shelter sorted everything out, they attended sheriff court yesterday and put a stop on the eviction.

    Thank you once again for you help. x x:A

    I'm so pleased that there's been a temporary hold.

    Will they provide assistance (obviously not financial) in working out a way to get you back on track with Black Horse?

    I am glad that the eviction was stopped.

    However, you need to take action to prevent a repeat performance. You need to come to an agreement with this lender on a repayment plan. Only agree to something you can afford as a failure to keep up with a reduced level of payments will create a greater risk that the courts will evict in the future.

    I have watched this thread with interest, sympathy and disgust at some posts.

    To the OP Im glad that things are not so bleak as they first seemed. Goodluck with your health and housing.

    I echo what Mrs Bumble says - Im all for free speech but as Hansell B. Duckett says

    Getting back to the original question from the OP.

    He's in Scotland....
    a) 'phone the sheriff court from where the court papers came & talk to the Sheriff Clerk & see, (long-shot) if there is anything he can suggest..
    b) Contact Shelter Scotland as suggested earlier... see what they suggest
    c) And the lender and explain the situation & request they stay the sheriff's officers action due to your being in hospital & your health: And would the publicity be good for business.....
    d) Try your MP, councillor,

    Best of luck mate!! We (well, almost all of us,,,) wish you better & best of...

    Cheers!

    It's pretty obvious several comments have been removed from the thread.

    Yes there has been a few cruel malicious comments posted from
    dfh MoneySaving Stalwart removed from the thread along the lines of :
    1/Smoking is harmful to your health
    2/NHS offers free counselling for smokers that want to quit
    3?What happens when the bailiffs come to evict a person on oxygen?
    I was actually born cystic fibrosis and have never smoked. Thankfully the vast majority of comments were extremely helpful, offering good advice. I managed to get things sorted through the assistance of shelter. icon7.gif

    Fantastic news Gerry!!! Good old Shelter: A charity, terribly overworked and without much resource they do an amazing job, as Gerry found out. Yippee!!!!

    Hope your health improves as well mate!
