    Its 85 a week and they only pay 45, in my last house which was 100 a week they paid it all :S

    Then you can't afford to live in that house!!

    If you were daft enough to get this rip off loan and clear the arrears, next month you will be in the same mess of not having enough, but also the Loan repayments to make.


    How is the World can you come out with "10 quid a week is nothing" when you clearly live off the rest of us????

    Have you ever considered contributing to your own life??

    I think that is what is known in footballing parlance as an own goal. Coming onto a public forum and announcing that you are claiming benefits but working on the side :rotfl:

    The rent arrears have got so high because the housing benefit didnt pay a smuch of my rent as i thought.

    Its 85 a week and they only pay 45, in my last house which was 100 a week they paid it all :S

    I dunno what council tax benefit is and don't think i have eve rhad to pay council tax

    Loans of the sort you're after are a tax on desperation and poor maths skills.

    Don't be another victim, look for a longer term solution to your problems
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything
