    I think paddedjohn is referring to another thread you have started, not a post he has written.
    This one states you have a buy-to-let property with less than £10K on the mortgage.

    You posted this on 16th April this year.

    So, in addition to the £16K+ savings you mention in your first post on this thread, you have substantial equity in another house that you may need to start renting out.

    So let's have a recap:
    you want to rent your own house out (and presumably pocket the cash), and want the local council to pay your rent on another property - all whilst having over £16K in savings from the sale of a different house 4 years ago?

    Do I have things right?

    WRONG! Please stop writing these lies.

    I think some people have crossed wires here "Ince" is the OP with 16k and wanting HB ManicMum is a totally different poster. Looking at the above quote the 2 seem to have got mixed up.

    Crossed wires on here are because threads have 'mysteriously' disappeared, including mine, and for this reason i think this thread should be closed.

    Spending money on gambling which is out of the ordinary for the person claiming is still deprivation of capital.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
