hello all.

i have recieved a letter from the council for the above..
iam really scared and worried as i was homeless before i got the propery, and my baby is now 7 month, last time i was homeless i was preg.
anyway the story is, i was on maternity allowance, me been stupid i thought i was getting housing benefit , then about 3 months into having the propery i got a letter stating my counciltax/housing benefit entitlement, which was only single person discount, so i then phoned the housing which told me i was in hundreds pounds arears, so i made an arangent to pay what i could off, it now stands i owe them 445 pounds, however i was awarded income sup;port from 1st june and have informed housing and housing benefit ppl, i will pay off the what i owe them now that it isnt adding up as i will be entitled to fulll hb. however i have had this letter stating they are going to ask court for the possesion of the flat back on the 5th july.
iam sooo worried, it say on the letter i can write and requst a review , i have done so , just waiting for the reply to that. any advice plz, has any1 ever had this letter? where do i stand, i have nowhere to go if made homeless again.
thankyou.

MPs will be working weekends, evenings, early morning and any afternoon you fancy right now. But actually a lot of constituency work is usually done at weekends.) Good luck.

sounds good - the shelter line is very busy - you have to persist - it can take ages to get through but very worth it

hey all had a call this morning from the accounts team, they have told me if i pay £20 a week then no further action will be taken, before this i asked them about the review/apeal thing, he sad he wasnt sure about it so asked his manager and he sed no aslong as i pay £20 a week i dont have to go to an apeal/review..
iam waiting for there letter with the agreement to come in a few days, least then ino iam safe aslong as i keep paying the £20, even though im on income support its worth it to keep the property, iam so happy,just waiting for the letter so i have proof that its sorted incase i get one of date of review/apeal from that over place where i had to send it to. thnks for all your advice. x
