Eviction due to secured loan

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'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

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

Shelter sorted everything out, they attended sheriff court yesterday and put a stop on eviction. xtheartfullodger wrote: »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!

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.
