Section 8 Court Order Rent Arrears
Comments

Please can you read letter below as i wish to email to LL AGENT and post to them also and sent copy to court.Is this ok to send as beeb advised by shelter to try and get a arrangment in place
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing again as I have had no response to my past letters sent to you concerning the recent possession order scheduled for Friday, the 12th of July 2013. As I have said in the last letter that I am currently in a position where I could arrange payments to clear up any arrears incurred over the months past. I am fully aware that payments were arranged before, but overwhelmed by dire unforeseen circumstances; I wasn’t able to meet up the payments. Also my partner has secured herself a job and starts work on Monday 24th June and will be bringing in 300 extra a month also we will be getting working Tax Credits and just awaiting the award notice.
I therefore ask if we could sit down amicably and draw out a solution to what has become an out of hand situation as I wrote before.
I understand the s8 notice covers grounds 8, 10 & 11. What I am asking is can we work this out and proceed to court on grounds 10 and 11, and ask for a suspended possession order instead of an outright one and get a payment plan draw up in front of the judge which we can both agree. Also the 100 pound charge for the order I would pay. Then if we miss even one payment of the agreement by even a penny, you can proceed with an outright possession order and ask the court for a warrant of execution which will lead to us being served a notice of eviction from the bailiffs.
Also I intend to pay back all the arrears owed over time and will pay every penny I owe to you. Also I will be paying the rent as normal on Friday 28th June.
Secondly as I said before, I really want to relief my family of any undue stress. Furthermore, I have a six year old son whom I don’t want to destabilize in any way shape or form, by moving and changing schools all over again.
Thanks for understanding and looking forward to a prompt reply and hope we can proceed on the grounds 10 & 11 proposed.
Yours Sincerely0 -
It is clear, offers a way forward, and is polite/understanding of LL's position.
