travelchic Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 You've certainly had your fill of bad luck haven't you. I can't help coz I haven't made the move yet but if I was I would have offered you a sofa. Is there no one at all that you can ask to put you up until you get back on your feet. Have you any family that can offer you some money until your in a better position to support yourself. Don't give up job hunting and I wish you all the luck in the world with your situation. I don't think things can go any worse for you, surely you'll get a break soon. sending positive thoughts and all that. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Not that I condone it but you could stay on where you are until they get a court order to evict you. Don't know how much extra time that would give you but the owner would first have to go to court to get you evicted and if you didn't move out they then have to go back to court for a Property Seizure and Delivery Order for a Bailiff (court official) to remove you from the premises. The owner can claim the cost of this order from you. The order will be dated one day after the court order and is effective for twelve months (Civil Judgments Enforcement Act 2005 (WA)). So it isn't an ideal way but say you were saving up to get back to the UK it may be worth a go. Like I say this isn't something I personally agree with but if I was in a desperate position who knows what i would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 If you could pay the rent, would you be able to stay? Could you possibly take in lodgers? We were in financial difficulties and rather than giving up our house, rented a room first to a couple moving over to Perth and then to a student through Australian Homestay Network. We didn't tell the landlord - the first people we had got to know and the students are considered 'guests' and the 'rent' is considered just to cover costs but at $800 a month it was very welcome. I was also going to suggest that a landlord cannot evict you, regardless of if you have paid rent or not only a court can. I say it with a heavy heart as we were at the receiving end and ended up without rent from our UK property which resulted in us having to take in lodgers! But your situation is desperate. Unless getting your bond back is going to make a difference?? Could you possibly use the bond to buy a travelers camper van a you can get them very cheap and then you would have somewhere to sleep, eat and safe for your dog (until the summer comes) if you can get some work. A few people have mentioned going back to the UK - if you have family and friends who would accomodate and financially support you then that seems like the very best idea but do we aware you wouldn't automatically get benefits in the UK as you have to prove you are 'habitually resident' and that can take 6 months.

BritChickx Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I would trying WWOOF it's really good i have done it before, you just do half a days work in exchange for food and accommodation. You can do this until you find a paid job, even if it's just paid farm work or something. You have to pay a fee for a years membership but then you can look online and find people who are looking for helpers and just ask if you can go there! Really hope you get help or a job quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisillusionedScot Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks guys, appreciated. I think maybe if I can get the deposit back and buy something to sleep in. Don't know if 2K is going to buy me anything though? I think the last time I moved it took some time for the money to be transferred back into the bank account. Feeling light-headed and sore today, think I might have this damned flu thing that's going about. Not good. Thanks for all the suggestions guys. If I'm ok on Thursday I'll try the food bank, see if I can get something to eat. Cheers. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi69 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Just seen this thread. hope you take VS up on his offer, he is one of the good guys I've replied to your posts in the past and know you haven't had it easy. I too am willing to help. I've spoken with the OH and we can offer you a room until you find your feet. We are only renting ourselves and have two dogs, but they get on great with other dogs and are so laid back. Or if you just need food, or someone to look after you dog. Please let me know Fi xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
