You really should of thought about all this before leaving your job. Fair enough it wasnt working out all that great but you could of started to look for another one before leaving

i know that,

I'm sorry about the state you have managed to get yourself into - but the only people that can do anything about it are you and your wife. It's coming up to Christmas - Tescos/Asda/Waitrose are all taking on extra seasonal staff. It might not be what you want to do - but a job is a job and if you have no other means of income you have to take what's going!

Contact CAB or CCCS about your debts - they should be able to help you to handle them better than you are presently doing - and of course the get out of debt forum here.

Sometimes we have to accept that we have made an enormous ****-up and move on - no point in blaming anyone other than ourselves

Good luck with the future.

Thanks for the advice, i know i have made a mess of things, and its all my doing,, just cant believe i'm not intitled to anything, 14 years of paying tax and NI, and as soon as i want a bit of help, no one wants to know.

You will get JSA eventually, its just as you left your job for an unecessary reason you get sanctioned

whichever route you decide to go down this will still not give you rent for your new location whilst you own a property.
Do you have permission to rent out your place? do you have a tennant? will the rent cover the mortgage payments?
Does your wife claim any benefits?

Do you have permission to rent out your place?


why do you want to know this?

Perhaps because you're not allowed to do this without permission?

Do you really want to start digging yourself into deeper and deeper trouble - have you learned nothing?

We are in a similar situation but have had a very different experience. My husband and I both left our jobs voluntarily to move away from the area (had enough of London!). Because we had both been working and paying NI for years, we were able to claim contribution-based JSA. No one even suggested we wouldn't be entitled to it. And they knew we had both left our jobs. If we are still out of work in six months (which I very much hope we won't be) then we'll have to make a new claim for income-based JSA.



A friend of mine also left her job by choice about a year ago due to an office move and the commute to the new location being too much for her. They paid her contribution-based JSA then too.
