ATSer's I Need Your Help, Urgently!

reply to post by destination now


I am in the process of getting tax credits which will give my income a nice little boost.

I am not finding faults in things I am just being extra vigilant, I'm sorry it came across that way. I do appreciate your help.

Anyway I have made an offer on the house with the black mold. I have spoken directly to the landlord and we have come to an arrangement. He's going to get rid of the mold, properly. And I'm going to do the place up, it is absolutely trashed, the doors anr hanging of and the carpets skint of cat pee. This means I only have to pay a months deposit and he doesn't care about my credit rating. And most importantly he will accept housing benefit.

So as long as he don't change his mind, it looks like I have a house.

Whoop whoop.

Cheers for the help ATSer's! I do love this community.

That's great news, and the landlord does have an obligation to ensure the property is in a decent condition and I'm sure he won't change his mind.

Good news on the tax credits as well, that can make a huge difference to your income, but does not affect your housing benefit top up, though you will have to pay a proportion of the rent, you are still entitled to assistance

Keep us posted on what's happening and good luck

unfortunately they got that one rapped up quite tight as far as the law is concerned, if it was me id set up home in their offices after i got made homeless and call all the media down to film it. ya never know, even the threat of that might make them get off their lazy asses and help someone for a change

Well done ALS, was very much sure you would make it just fine, I wish you and your little family the best of luck

Glad to hear that you found some where to live ALS. Sounds like a good clear out and cleaning is on the cards. Hope it turns out alright for you and best of luck for the future.

OP...i apologize....sincerely...i thought the economy was bad here in the states but after reading the rest of the replies on this thread and doing a little independent research, I realized that your jobs and housing situation across the pond is much worse than ours at the moment...please accept my apology. It was ignorant of me to be degrading towards you when i was uninformed of the subject matter. I didn't intend to come across as a self righteous American. I feel your pain man. Good Luck to you and your family. Again, my deepest apologies.

The fact that you went and done smoke research is apology enough.

No hard feelings.

Why don't you just crash in Sinny's basement?
