verona Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thanks for the replies folks. I wasn’t prepared to be walked over again. I basically gave them the ultimatum by saying I can’t pay your rent for you, either pay it or I will begin proceedings to have you evicted, well words to that effect. Amazingly they have found the money to pay the rent and tell me it was a misunderstanding on their part. I do think they were trying it on to have some extra cash for Xmas. I’ll have to see how it goes over the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 hahaha straight onto the backs of those renters. they could be dodgy, but then they couldve been in the same boat as me currently. Ive just been made redundent for the second time this year, by the same company. The rent and bills are paid up to the end of the month, BUT i dont have anyc money bar £180 left in my ISA, im due to get paid the outstanding pay from the work for 3 weeks of the month, not sure when or how much tbh. it may afford another month of bills...maybe. after that? currently no money no job as yet, applied for about 15, now the waiting game. no benefit as yet, could take a couple of days to fill in the very now complicated online form, then wait, then interview, then could be a 6 week? wait for the newfangled universal credit to come through. not everybodys out to get one over, there IS good reasons why as well Sorry to hear about your job, and I do hope you get one soon. Or at least you do not have to wait six weeks to get your benefits sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bargepole23 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 They seem like honest people, it will get very costly for both sides if they dont pay, at less than 2% interest rates, one month late is not important. Would you be ok if your wages were one month late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Would you be ok if your wages were one month late? I would stay in the same job if that happened; would you suggest the OP started eviction proceedings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would have no problem with it, is that what you are saying? It wouldn't be important? I have suggested nothing, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being out of work is rotten at any time, but the month before Christmas is a really tough break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
