Abusive Landlord Taking Money From Credit Card without permission

How much do you earn from your part-time work and how much are you left with after you've deducted your rent and essential bills from your grant and employment?
On average, a university student only has around 10 hours of lectures and seminars in each week with a similar amount of self-study on top which frees up a student to work 15-25 hours a week.
Complete a SOA. There's a budget planner tool you can download from the right hand side of this page.
If you list your income and your expenses, the forum members will be able to advise you how to increase your income and how to reduce your expenditure because you appear to have incurred rent arrears from the start of your tenahcy.
I wish! 10 hours seems very low...
But, depending on how many hours you do have you're likely to be able to get at least a weekend job. 12 hours a week during A Levels got me about £270 a month, which is the rent paid or mostly. Samsong, do you get full loan? If so I really can't see where its going.. which is a bad thing, if you're owing £600 this close to the start of the course! But, 2 weeks full time work over Christmas is getting me that much, so if you do the same then you can pay your arrears off and start next term afresh
with a budget! There will be plenty of places around here to help you sort one out, and encouragement to stick to it. 0 -
Some super advice from the last half-dozen or so posters to the thread. I have thanked them all.
OP, please, if you are not trolling, read them and help yourself. Your landlord is naughty but you have a responsibility for your own actions. Every action has a consequence. You are the master of your own fate."If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools"
