    AdrianC you’re a jerk. I’m unwell and vulnerable. The stress of the first hearing made me so ill I had to call 999 and I was rushed to hospital. I am completely unable to work or handle stressful situations. I used to earn a lot of money but now I can’t do anything. So if I’m not vulnerable I don’t know who is. It might not be in your definition but I don’t care.

    I cannot be treated with an impending threat of bailiffs without having mire time to look for accommodation. Yes you can and you will beA situation like that could actually be life-threatening. OTT or what :rotfl:

    You are not vulnerable, you're just stupid. Anyone with any sense would've moved somewhere a lot cheaper when they first couldn't pay their rent.

    I'm still calling BS.
    Too much drip feeding then chucking another comment in to stir the pot a little when it starts to flag.
    And if (by the remotest possibility) there is a spark of something genuine in the story, I have no sympathy. Because you couid have got yourself out of this situation months ago and you chose not to. And the stress argument is ludicrous, given that it would have been far simpler to find somewhere affordable before you got to the point of court.

    I'm out.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It's pointless speculating about who the landlord is.
    If the property is in London, it could be required for a fireman, policeman, teacher etc who works nearby. In that case, then no - it should not be occupied by an unwell person who would be better off somewhere else (as we have hospitals etc everywhere).

    Obviously, this is the reason the government appoint judges to hear these kind of cases, rather than juries. That avoids the general public having too much say in the matter. Because the public will consider the wider picture, whereas judges only care about what the rulebook says.

    But you won't find the mainstream media mentioning this...


    Ah the good old "mainstream media" claim (twice in this post alone), Momentum member by any chance?


    Judges rule on cases precisely because a jury could be inclined to ignore the law with sob stories and make a judgement on emotion not fact. Look at the US with all those police shootings where they kill unarmed complying citizens and then a jury refuses to convict because they worship the police rather than considering if they are doing their job.


    A house worth £4000 a month even in London is going to be a big luxury thing. On rightmove, properties around that much include 4-5 bedroom houses with gardens, good schools etc or luxury 2 bed apartments in swanky areas. OP has no income except benefits etc and yet still wants to move into a £1000 a month place when their budget doesn't match this. Getting out and into a small studio flat or house share is realistic, not telling them to deprive the landlord of income by trying to delay eviction when they haven't paid rent for 9 months!

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    AdrianC: you obviously do not understand the English language. I’m not saying it’s unfair that I’m evicted. If fact I accept it is the inevitable.

    I’m saying it’s unfair not to be notified of the outcome of a hearing I was unable to attend only to send me a letter (yesterday) to tell me to vacate by a date in the past. THAT is unfair and ridiculous.

    Wouldn’t you say it would be ridiculous if you receive a bill dated 20 June telling you you must pay by 5 June or else?


    You knew long before this hearing you were leaving because your debts are piling up and you refuse to pay them and refuse to remedy the situation. The landlord will be getting bills that he has to pay which he hasn't got the income to pay because someone is trying to game the system and freely admits to trying to use every trick to delay instead of accepting their fault and dealing with it.

    It's s people ikecyou that make it hard for genuine caring and reasonable people to find rental property. The reason why more and more landlords won't rent to self employed and the reason why they ask for large deposit people can't afford, or up the rent to make up the risk.

    No sympathy whatsoever from me. I too have heart problems and I to am under the care of a cardiologist. I had an appointment at a date when I had a job interview. Guess what? I called them, explain the situation but said I really needed the appointment and they found me one a couple of data later. It seems you didn't even attempt to do that.

    You've undermined the importance of going to court, lived in denial which is the reason why you are in the situation you find yourself in yet you want to believe you are vulnerable?

    What makes me so annoyed is that your irresponsibility is impacting on responsible people who don't deserve the scrutiny they are being subjected to but they have to deal with one tenant like you, even owing less and it makes them lose faith in society.

    If you have family prepared to help you with rent going forward, why didn't they help now? Why weren't you entitled to any HB? Why didn't you pay at least something towards the rent? Why didn't you move with your family? It's not your home any longer you are only still there because the legal system is very slow.

    Total 100% troll thread, should be closed. Amusing to read, but not true.
    Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.

    ..if your problems are real then they are entirely of your own making as you must be intelligent enough . to understand the consequences of your actions...
