How do I raise money?

Hello everyone
This is really embarrassing hence name change
Bottom line is that I had an unexpected expense come up and now I’m short by £500 on my rent
I’ve spent all day trying to think of ways to raise the funds but come up with nothing, can’t get a payday loan due to bad credit.
Landlord has emailed saying she wants to visit next week to discuss rent payments as I have been late a few times in the last 6 months (due to waiting for ex to pay child maintenance but it’s all paid up to date apart from this month). Ultimately I think she’s hinting at serving notice. I’m so worried and my rent is now a week late. I’ve made sure I’ve got food etc for children.
I do get some universal credit but have had a budgeting loan already which I’m still paying therefore can’t get another one.
Any ideas?

Hello everyone,

As we usually do in these circs, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.

Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong. We strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get it all sorted soon. In the meantime, you might find some useful information on our guide for dealing with financial difficulty.
