i haven’t paid rent since March like millions of others we are in dire financial difficulties due to the global crisis 

Millions of those in low paid jobs everyone used to look down on are now in the most secure positions for employment in the entire country.

You like saying that, don't you? Who, exactly, was looking down on you?

It's not harassment to ask you for your rent money, to tell anyone they like that your rent money is late, or to send you S21 or S8 notices.

But some people have got very hard skulls and seem to think if it's not their fault they lost a job then they're no longer responsible for paying their rent. Hot tip: you are. Not your fault but still your responsibility. Learn the difference and do something about it instead of looking for ways to escape paying back what you OWE.

This is being said a lot during the crisis 

it’s not the banks fault that they are living bailout to bailout 

it’s not the businesses fault that they can’t pay their rents on their premises 

it’s not the employers fault that they have to lay off so many staff 

yes all could be true

its the virus that is to blame

it’s a hard time for everyone

Your first post mentions rent arrears.

We have a tenancy in joint names, since the lockdown we have been struggling to pay rent

will both our credit files be affected?

what if one of us goes bankrupt will half the rent arrears be written off or all?

If you want some other advice why not speak to shelter.

It’s still not harrsement, pandemic or not.

There will come a day when COVID can stop being used as an excuse for not paying what you owe, and that day can’t come soon enough.
