made redundant who do i legally have to tell ?

if any one ?

i was made redundant from one of my 2 jobs this week

but with the money i will be getting in notice pay and redundancy and i know i can claim a bit of council tax back and get a some tax credits

i can continue to pay my mortgage for the next few months (all be it with a little belt tightning )

do i have to legally tell the mortgage company now ?
or can i hold off doing so for even a month or so ?
hopefully i can get a bit more work by then :)

i have a credit card but again less then 200 quid on it so i can pay that off

again do i have to tell them as well ?

i pay the gas / elect by monthy direct debit , again do i OR should i tell these sorts of people now

thanks for any advice

jen.

    You're not obliged to tell anyone, for as long as you can continue to pay the bills it's not their business.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
