Money sucks

Hi I’m new here just after some advice :(

Things for my partner and I have got tough money wise. I am not currently working although trying to fins work. I’m in university and my partner is on minimum wage. Student loans don’t cover much and not very helpful every 3 months then nothing between April and October.

My 3 year old was going to day nursery only once week and we had to take him out after getting behind with the payments. They keep asking us for the money but we just can’t afford it. Since he’s stopped going his behaviour has gone terrible. Not sure if it’s a coincidence.

We are getting behind with the rent, bills and have no gas on currently so no heating or hot water.

We are entitled to nothing except child benefit as I am a student. I keep trying to apply for loans but not one person will help us. I am getting desperate.

We have asked family and friends for help but can’t keep doing this as it is getting too often.

My brother owes me £500 from a year ago for a car but we do not speak anymore and has since sold the car!

I am feeling so crap at the moment and I am sure other people are in the same situation as us but I don’t know what to do. We’ve had a court hearing come through for getting behind on the council tax but partner paid it leaving us with £20 until the 28th :(

Wish I knew what I could do!

Evening all.

We've some reports from MNers concerned about this thread. So, as we usually do, 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 everyone 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.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP. We hope you get it sorted soon.
