Notice Of Seeking Possession - re-serve

Evening,

Hi, I need some advice as this Monday (February 11th) I had a appointment with my income office from my housing association and come to agreement with my rent arrears as I am on Universal Credit as they pay £303.67 direct and I pay extra £20.00 a month to cover my arrears, but this morning I received a letter from my landlord and it's states - NOTICE OF SEEKING POSSESSION - RE-SERVE and it's states at the bottom the following:

''You were served with a Notice of Seeking Possession 12 months ago and this has now expired.''

''If you have already made an agreement to reduce your rent arrears, please continue to make your payments as agreed.''

Does anyone know what this means? I already agreed with my housing officer on Monday and this came today and I am upset, it states on the letter the date as: 11th February 2019.

Should I be worried about this?

Any advice would be great thank you.

    It's just like a warning that if you don't keep up with the payment plan they will evict you. They had to reissue when the last one ran out after a year. Don't worry, just keep up the payments.

    It means that the possession notice has expired but it also implies that if you get into arrears again they will take action. Rent is the most important bill you get and you must pay it before you buy or pay for anything else. That includes birthday presents and Christmas presents. If you can't afford them and the rent you only pay the rent. There is no point in having lots of stuff if you don't have anywhere to live and keep it.
