Yep 7 hours ago the bailiff arrived to evict her, her BF, my brother and my sister from their rented accommodation.
What started this? Rent arrears. What sucks about it? The arrears are NOT their fault in the first place. Basically, the council they claim benefit from for the rent has done nothing but fuck them around for past six months. They stopped their benefit three times. First time because a bailiff arrived (allegedly) and reported back that no one lived at the address. Even though the house was clearly full of furniture and had dogs barking inside, clearly lived in. Then the second and third time it got stopped was due to some bastard contacting the council and telling them mums BF no longer lives with her. He's always lived with here. Then the same council that put them in rent arrears refused to help re house them because of the arrears.
Then the woman who turned down their application for help FAILED to refer their case to social services on the day she refused them help as she was supposed to and waited until yesterday afternoon to refer it.
So now Social Services can't do anything to help just yet because they need 7 to 10 days to assess her situation. In case you're wondering why Social Services are involved it's because my brother is a minor.
