Eviction / Balliff - Urgent advice needed

Posts: 1,090 Forumite
I have just learned that a longstanding neighbour and friend faces eviction at the start of May due to owing money. I have no idea at this stage of the details but there is a bailiff letter stating they will be turned out on a specific date.
How can I help? What should they do.
This is very time sensitive - specific and accurate information will be very much appreciated.

I'm not sure you are on the right forum, there is a housing forum I think, this one is about bankruptcy.
There is plenty of helpful legal advice on the shelter website on eviction you will also find their helpline number on there so do give them a call. They are very good."Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." Dalai Lama0 -

Why not advice them to contact CAB?
They may not want their neighbors knowing, let alone involving themselves in their business. CAB are impartial.0 -
Hi,
The suggestions of sign posting to Shelter and to CAB were both good suggestions.
Ugent advice needs to be gained to see if there is any chance of remaining in the property, and if the answer is no then advice and support given to their re housing options.
Please ask them to seek the help suggested asap.
