Now this lady had got herself a job as she said she did not want to be on benefits as she wanted to earn money for a better life for her & her 3 children. Her eldest son got a job & some of her housing benefit was taken away as his income was 'taken in to account'. This put them in arrears as the family could not juggle the money that was left; or should I say the money that was just not there to start with. Her rent went in to arrears of just over £1,000. She worked more hours to pay the arrears. She reduced the arrears to £300 but by then her local council had taken her to court & the judge had set an eviction date unless she paid the outstanding £300. However, this £300 had now become £500 as court costs were added. Eviction date is 21st July, tomorrow. She appealed against the decision ahead of the eviction date for which she had to pay a further £50. I represent tenants in my area but this was out of my area, she was in fact a complete stranger but I hope I gave her some good advice & that her appeal was successful but I was called away as I was there to help a tenant in my area. Apart from one grown up son this lady has two young children. One of these children is due to have a brain scan this week as he has been very poorly but still despite this, (she made the council & the court aware of this) & paying off the majority of her arrears she still faces eviction. <br /><br />Sally Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022998136972946830.post-59126368871508213122014-07-20T02:40:10.808+01:002014-07-20T02:40:10.808+01:00What will it take to get people to demand what is ...What will it take to get people to demand what is decent and fair???<br />Janet PontingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022998136972946830.post-53822573784775953322014-07-19T20:10:28.753+01:002014-07-19T20:10:28.753+01:00Reckon your enjoying life too much for a socialist...Reckon your enjoying life too much for a socialist....NOT!
