Hi need some advice please I will be returning to work after maternity leave. (ex partner never involved).
my baby will be starting nursery and the first month fees are £400 for two weeks then the second month are £800 for a full month.
ive been told by UC i do not qualify for a loan nor any upfront help to cover anything until ive paid the invoice first. i appreciate i will be reimbursed some of the costs but i cannot afford them up front.
managed to ask a friend to lend me the £400 and il pay it back once received from uc. but that wont cover the second months fees of £800 and i dont know what to do 😩 i have no way of getting it on credit nor any more people who can help. i wont be able to use my wages as this will paying towards my rent other bills and living expenses.
as i have to work a month in hand so my first wage i wont get until ive been back a month. i explained this to uc and they said i have to pay them
both upfront. no other options.
i am really trying my best after my ex partner left us during my pregnancy and doesn’t contribute a single penny.
does anyone have any advice or suggestions please 🙏🏻
thanks xx
