Bank can't recall the payments.
Not been on benefits long enough to qualify for their budgeting loans which is the only thing I think would be available, crisis loans don't cover rent arrears as far as I know.
Waiting for the council to call me back, if they don't in the next half hour I'll ring them again.0 -
Could you not use your Jsa to pay the rent and apply for a crises loan to live off?0

Would ring council now ours shuts at 4pm x0

I owe about £1200 in rent, my payment was for £700 of which I rescued £160. £130 JSA isn't going to cover it and I still have other bills to pay (although I am aware rent is most important, I still have to keep up my Jobseeker's agreement and this could be tricky without even a phone).
I will use as much of my JSA as can be spared and am lucky I have enough basic supplies to feed myself a minimum diet for a couple of weeks.
Office shuts at 5pm, they told me when I rang to ask when to expect my call back.0 -
Oh dear I hope you get sorted soon can't really think of anything to help .
The only other thing u could do I's see if your landlord would let you have a lodger (I'f you have a spare room) help get the rent down a bit .0 -
It's a teeny one bed flat, certainly no space for a lodger
I live in an expensive city, hence why my rent may seem high to some.0 -
I have just received a call back, they have said they will send another payment for the full amount I should have received next week (as it's too late to process now) and they'll recover as a normal overpayment.
Thank goodness for that, I can relax and enjoy this lovely weather again without running around like a headless chicken selling my soul!0 -
I'm glad you got it sorted. xIt's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun0
