hi guys i have been given an eviction date.......from my council property. when the bailiffs arrive can i tell them i am squatting. i have been given a legal notice to put in my window and have been told to barracade the doors until the bailiffs keave......help please any one...lee
if it just means a bit of breathing space to get a new place or to sort out some money,,,,,it is rent arrears...i am ex forces ,left the army and started work ,was made redundant and claimed housing benefit was told everything was ok....but it wasnt ...they didnt pay my rent .now being evicted due to this.
Is it an eviction order from the council or from the court?
You can apply for a stay of execution. You'll sit with a judge and explain the circumstances...he will then decide how long to give you. Usually something like 3 months.
nope hb said they had no copies of our claim ....then all of a sudden 3 mths ago the council started to pay our hb ,but said they couldnt back date it because of the time span of our claim ....i had made 5 separate claims ...a person i spoke to said they had found the claims but the time span was so far apart they refused the backdated monies
my rent is being paid at the moment....but can i squat for the time being to buy me some time the council want the full amount of arrears...ive contacted ssafa and rbl both said too short notice...........
It may be too short notice to be able to do anything to save your current house but they will be able to help find and move into your next location, and they'll also be able to assist you in making sure a clusterfcuk like this never happens again.
