if im being completely honest to you all I feel like the person who I spoke to on the phone is being a dick. on the phone he stated he didn't need to speak with my mother but after the phone call via email he said he did in fact need to speak with her but when I sent her phone number over to him he didn't ring her.

Op

really hoping that you’re getting up, getting ready, getting your baby ready, gathering up your papers that you have that may be relevant, and then heading off to citizens advice to be there when they open.

they will see you. They will advocate for you.

CAB are not useful with housing issues. Shelter are the experts.

citizens advice are superb. Volunteered there for years and we have a very strong relationship with housing dept at local council

@XxPrincessQueenxX can you rent a room from a friend? That would help them out with bills

In your area maybe, but in general, they give terrible housing advice and don’t even know the basics.

That’s a real shame you have that view.

presumably you have you engaged with many branches on housing matters to form this view?
