Help needed with going to court for rent arrears

A question about : Help needed with going to court for rent arrears

Back in March we received a letter to go to court for Ј600 in rent arrears to local council, I spoke to them and they said if I paid off arrears before the court date it would be cancelled, I took it to the rent office the day before and was told that it would be cancelled, I received a letter afterward saying they had gone to court anyway because I was Ј33 short (that weeks rent which officially wasn't due until the end of the week) so I then had Ј156 in charges too and it was adjourned.

HB help

A question about : HB help

Please could I have some advice for the below.

I am currently living with ex partner but need to move out and find another property for myself and my child (under 3 yrs old) I am told I can claim housing benefit for my new property, is this right? Also, I think I would be entitled to tax credits etc, do I have to wait until I move out until I can claim as a single parent or can I claim whilst still under the same roof?

I work full time and earn just under Ј20,000 a year, I also pay Ј600 a month child care costs.

many thanks

benefits

A question about : benefits

I have been claiming student discount against my council tax with no problems. My eldest son has now finished university and has returned home to live but has been unable to find a job so is claiming Job Seekers Allowance, I am claiming Income Support. I still have two children in University. The council are now telling me I am no longer eligible for any reduction on my council tax bill and will have to pay the full amount. How am I meant to afford to do this when there are no wages coming into the property.
