PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Hi ScaredCrazy
Reading through your posts your train of thought and common sense sounds very good. So, a judge would have difficulty understanding why you can't see the problem both you and your girlfriend have created.
I truly sympathise with people's health problems, be it mental or physical. but everyone has a duty to pay their rent whatever their problems. Especially when it's getting paid for them!
So as much as I sympathise, I can't see any judge being lenient with you for falling into arrears. You say yo find it difficult to handle problems, and that you bury your head in the sand rather than face up to them. but you have been very forthright and eloquent on your posts, going into great detail about the situation. That is at odds with what you say your mental problem is.
I suggest - if you really feel unable to cope - is to contact Shelter and Social Services - because the courts will evict you if you don't pay your rent. Do you really want that to happen?0
