No money left what do I do

[eatingforonemore]

I have no money left to get us through the month. I don't even have money to get to work and I've gave up the council flat we were to move into during the cooling off period and now they won't give me my weeks rent I paid upfront and they've told me I need to pay 3 weeks more even though the place doesn't even have windows or a front door (all shutters)
I've put in a referral at the local food bank but I've been told I could be waiting a week or two for it to fully go through.
I don't even know what to do anymore.

That's terrible

What's the councils reason for this? Did they expect you to move in and wait for windows to be fitted?

Are you claiming benefits or working?

Oh just seen you work!

Could you ask for a small advance on wages?
Family or friend to offer short term loan?

I'm working at the moment.
The council were supposed to take them off throughout the week but I said I work a 9-5 and can't take time off but they said they couldn't do it at weekends so it's been left - the moving in date was yesterday but I put my letter in on Friday saying we couldnt live there.

Any points on a nectar card or similar?

Op any local charities in the area we have st vincent de paul here and they would help in a situation like this.

It's a new job (I got paid from my last job about £300) and we were supposed to get a £200 advance on wages because of how their pay schedule works but I never got it.
My mum has paid off a lot of debt for me (it's on a credit card in her name and I'm supposed to give her the money every month this month I've had to miss) so I try not to ask her for money

Where do you live?

I don't understand. If you weren't living there what was the problem with them fitting windows? Surely they couldn't expect you to take time off?

I second Maud if you have an SVP charity shop (St Vincent de Paul) go in there and ask for help.

OP do you live near one of these?
