please can you use commas ", "and / or full stops "." A wall of text is hard to read, particularly if English is not your first language and you use incomplete sentences.

as it appears the order was suspended, then, as mentioned above, it can be re-activated.
You need to have a meeting with the HA and go thorough your rent statement because it looks like you are missing some info somewhere.

The HA would not have reached this stage even if your payment plan was only £5 extra and thus you appear to be 20 weeks in arrears

I was 17 weeks in arrears and I paid it every Thursday my payments are on my statements as is my housing benefit payment. On the 1 vision site it says a meeting would be held between myself and my housing officer before applying for the warrant. I never received notification of any meeting only a letter saying I was in breech and then a letter from the court saying permission had been given for a warrant

I just really want to know if i can stop the warrant and if so how ? I have spoke to 1 vision and they never mentioned a warrant just to set up the dd and not to worry .

You need some specialist advice. Try CAB or Shelter.

This is a summary which may help you to clarify at what stage you are at and what you can do.

Was a money order issued with the warrant? This should tell you how much you actually owe. Make sure you have evidence of when, the amount and how you have been paying the arrears.

No nothing just a letter from county court saying the claimant has permission to issue a warrant for possession.nothing else came with it

It might be easier for people to advise you if you write (in point form) a timeline of events - as far as you are aware of

I have told you how you can try and stop the warrant.

You will need to apply for a stay hearing through the court and turn up to it.

However the judge doesn't have to grant you a stay.

It is unwise to ignore the rest of the advice.

• Call your HA on Monday
• Obtain an up to date rent statement
• Arrange a meeting with your income officer
• Apply for a stay hearing through the court
• Keep making payments

The HA would have had to satisfy the court that a warrant is necessary. Like I said the court doesn't just hand them out without good reason and evidence

I'm worried sick. I've not slept at all. I have never been unemployed before.
So I thought I was doing everything correctly informing them.
And.making the payments the housing benefit told me to.make

HampshireH

You need to make the payments your landlord have told you to make. It is nothing to do with housing benefit.

Your rent owed and any arrangement is with your Housing Association. Benefits just help you out.

They can advise but any payments should reflect what the court order says and any other agreement needs to be with your HA who charges you rent.
