    ......think you should go back to the CAB with this one and say "look, is there ANY way we could do this? What about if Dad said he'd throw us out and was prepared to put it in writing? What if we get an assured shorthold tennancy? How is this done, and can we absolutly rule out everything please?" ......

    If she came to our CAB, she would be told that she was hovering dangerously near a fraudulent claim and, from what I see of the OP, I don't think she's that kind of person. Doesn't matter what kind of tenancy agreement she had, a father is much too close.

    Father could threaten to make her homeless but that would only make a difference if she wanted to try to get registered for local authority housing.

    Totally agree here... What would it cost to sell the car for scrap and get buses and taxi's when necessary and borrow dad's car as much as possible? I think you should be able to share the 1 car between 2 people, who don't work (but who are busy with kids and education and can't work full time) just with a bit of planning.

    Would the insurance on her dad's car not go up though, as she is under 25?
  • have you tried freecycle for clothes or really anything for the little one also for yourself and oh also its a brilliant way of getting rid of anything yyou no longer want/need.
    any chance of switching you cc to a 0% one that would free up a bit of money.
    i would try and claim CA for your dad because what you are doing is caring for him but i am not sure on the rules
