Totally broken (not 'wls' related)

warning: not wls related, feeling down and thought i needed to clear my brain.

I always had problems with the house i lived in. I moved to 9 houses in last 4 years. The last house was the most terrible one. it was a 1 bed flat and when we moved in it was fine but after 2 months it started getting very cold in the bed room and water was leaking from roof and the side walls. so we decided to move the bed to the living room and stayted there for 6 months. i paid him £620 pcm and bills. the landlord didn't reduce a penny as we had some problems and was stuck there and he knew that we couldn't move. So we stayed in one room and paid for the whole house.

After a long struggle i found a relative who offered me a house which i am living in now. its a 3 bed house but we said we r only going to use one room as we don't need more. he said it was fine and let us stay there. suddenly after living there for a month he now asked for £650 + Bills. In the room there is only a bed and a wardrobe (which was full of their cloths) for last 2 months so we didn't have any place to keep our baggage and cloths. we decided to keep the cloths in the room next to us as the whole house is empty and no one lives there without us. Now, when he asked for 650 pounds, i felt that i am having a heart attack. when i asked him about it he said because only we r living here and there is no one else and we used 2 rooms we have to pay that. I told him that i kept my cloths in the other room coz u didn't empty the wardrobe in my room and he said that is not his problem. I tought either me or he is bloody stupid. how can people lack these common senses? it is natural that if he doesn't empty my wardrobe, i have to keep my cloths somewhere. Now i am totally broken and not in a situation to move again.

My husband is sick and not working for last 6 months, so no salary. I am not working as i did not get a job yet. I don't know how will i overcome all these problems. I'm trying my best, they say there are no but there are some discriminations in the job field. Sometimes i feel like just commiting suiside. I don't know how will i cope with all these.:cry:

I would request to everyone here : if you work somewhere or know something about any type of vacancy please let me know. Its very urgent and will save my family.

Thanks for reading.
 
Hi Farzu

So sorry to hear you are feeling very low at the momment. By the sounds of your situation you and your husband would be better to go to a hostel as they help you find accomodation and put you up whilst waiting. Have a look in the yellow pages at Hostels and ring a few up. Tell them you will be homeless as you can't afford to live where you are as the landlord is asking for more than you can afford.

Good luck and I am sure things will work out. xxx
 
Oh dear, I am not a british citizen yet so don't have any option of claiming any type of income support or housing benifits. Working is the only choice for me. :(
 
Oh thats awful, have you been to the CAB, I think you need some proper specialist help x

Great advice there and exactly what I would have suggested. Here's a link to the CAB website and please keep asking for any support along the way.
Citizens Advice website

Hi again, another thought here that may be worth looking into.

You could go and ask for an appointment with the Homeless Prevention Unit at your local council. This is for people who are either homeless at the time or at risk of being made homeless due to money issues. You have a right to be assessed regardless of your status in the UK.

They may also do something called a Guaranteed Bond Scheme for people who cannot find the money to put a security bond down on a place to live and pay the bond for you if you go and find somewhere more suitable for you.

I'm sorry you are having things so rough but I'm hopeful that you can get some support here if you go and ask.

Isis xx :)
 
Thanks Isis. I will try to do that but i am scared that if anyhow when getting citizenship they might find it out and cancle my permission to stay in the UK. my visa says 'no resource to public funds'.
 
farzu are you here in the uk legally ?
 
Yes Liz. I have 2 years residence premit at the moment but will go for High skilled migrant program (HSMP) next year after completing my MBA, which i'll get another 5 years visa and then to citizenship. Its a long process. I don't know why i'm not getting any job. I'm applying for 100s every single day but employers now a days are asking for a picture with the CV. I think thats turning them down.
 
u want to live here permanent ? what is your original country farzu ?
 
Faz i'm so sorry to hear your plight. All the advice above is credible and you should seek legal advice. This country gives homes to all sorts of people and i don't see why it should be any different for you and your husband (unless you are not here legally) You will be both in my prayers and i am sending you loads of hugs with fairy dust for you both to find a solution and be safe xx
 
Well Faz what are you waiting for???? Go to the press i know it's extreme but your here legally and are going through all the hoops immigration are putting you through!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find out who your MP is they might be grateful for something to do than filling out expenses claims. You have nothing to lose be drastic - and sorry if i've offended someone x
 
Hello and good evening.


Just one point i wanted to ask (hope thats ok) , how do u hope to get any funding for wls if your not able to use public funding for the time being .............

Sounds like a a very drawn out process for you...but you have no choice but too keep going .

All the best - mejulie xx
 
are you just here to get free treatment ?
 
yes we will be able to get the funding for treatment or surgery. I have already checked it out before asking the GP for referral. Also i am going through fertility treatment and had no problems with any type of fundings yet. No, i came here as a student and now on a residents permit. people who stays here more than 6 months or 1 year are elligible for free treatment and i have been here for 5 years now.
 
did u come here 4 the spercific point of nhs funding ?
 
Thanks Isis. I will try to do that but i am scared that if anyhow when getting citizenship they might find it out and cancle my permission to stay in the UK. my visa says 'no resource to public funds'.

I understand this farzu as I have had friends who were in the same situation. Please don't worry about just going and making appointment with the CAB at first. This service is free and confidential to everyone and they will be able to point you to other services that can help and not affect your status.

Isis xx :)
