    I have sympathy for the OP. She tried to do the right thing but had to sell her home. I have more sympathy for the OP than the countless EU people flooding into the UK, without a days work here to their name to claim housing and child benefit as we are a well known soft touch as well as drain out education and social services.

    In fact they boast and laugh at how stupid the UK is.

    I know of instances of EU families claiming all the benefits we are stupid enough to give while they want to work for cash in hand. How silly are are we and those spineless politicians?

    I hope the OP finds a solution. Maybe you can speak with your local councillor or MP.

    She had £60k less than 18 months ago. She is claiming, I presume, to now have less than £16k after also paying off £7k of debt.
    Hence she has spent £33k in 18 months, or £22k a year as a minimum.

    And then wants taxpayers who might be earning as little as £9k, to support her lifestyle. Sorry, but that's not really on. :cool:
