Hi everyone
My flatmate is on benefits since June last year. She has had nothing but problems from the beginning and is still trying to get her back rent paid from June until December last year. I pad this using my bonus and owe my IVA £753.
Last week I received an email from my landlord stating that he had a letter from the council saying that from end of May they had suspended her rent payment and to contact her to confirm why. Emma never receievd a letter and you cannot speak to anyone. She emailed and has had a response back today statign they do not knw why it's been suspended as the onyl note states more info is needed but they don't know what and does she know?!!!
My landlord by now has no confidence that he will get his money. I only cleared the rent balance in March from Jul-Dec 2006.
I can see this taking a age to get sorted out which leaves with one option now ans that's not paying my IVA payment in July to bring us back up to date. I have never missed a payment before all this started and am loathed to now but as I am the primary on the tenancy agreement I am also liaiable for this amount. Once it gets cleared up Emma will repay me and I will repay my IVA but it doesn't look from a payments point of view.
Anyway moan over.
I love this site and have had so much excellant advice recently.[:)]
