    Yet another company shill.
    Of course you can get help paying your mortgage, from the Government's Jobseekers allowance scheme: that was why I cancelled my MPPI before I became unemployed, saved loads of money and was actually better off at statement time in December - do not let these 'professional discouragers' fool you!
    Anyone, if you think you have grounds - then research, research, research, take your time to build your case: make notes, copy all your relevant paperwork - and have a go. It will cost you nothing, and could make you something.

    You seem to have issues chap? Anything you need help with, or are you just spamming old threads?

    You can - but there is no help for the first three months. For many years it was the first nine months - by which time you would have found yourself so far in arrears that you lost your home.

    Even now, there is a limit on the level of assistance you will receive - borrow too much and you could find yourself with a shortfall.

    Lucky you - that will not happen in the future because the government is replacing the benefit with a loan arrangement - so you will not save anything because it will have to be paid back.

    A little knowledge can be dangerous!
