Thanks for that! My debt at the moment is a little over 2k which is 3 months rent. Next rent is due on the 1st of August so I want to come to an agreement with the HA before then. I will send an income/expenditure sheet recorded delivery tomorrow. It is very difficult to get an appointment with my local CAB; I hope with the help on this forum I can sort it out. Is there any other document I should add to my expenditure sheet. Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone Quick update: After all the back anf forth between shelter and my HA, I decided to just let go and move in back with a family friend until i can secure a permanent job. This situation has caused me anxiety and sleepless nights as my HA refuses to agree on any payment plan-seems they just want me out. I have asked the lady at shelter whether my HA would agree on a payment plan to clear the arrears once i move out but she said she cant advice me on that for now as she is not sure. Does anyone here have any advice on what to do next? I plan on writing an email to my Housing officer to let her know that I will be moving out and ready to hand over my keys.

thank you. My HA is in London. At the moment they are not interested in anything I have to say and refused to agree on a repayment plan. They urged me to get advice from CAB, clear my arrears in full and act fast.

how do I go about getting confirmation of any court order or S8 notice. Any templates or will a simple letter suffice?

thank you for your replies fletch 70 and raydetinu. I never applied for HB during unemployment but received a loan from family and also used my emergency savings but It wasn't enough. I believe their reason for repossession is rent arrears but not too certain as I didn't receive the letter they sent out on April 11th. I contacted shelter this morning and was referred to another legal advice agency. I spoke to a legal advisor and she said she has dealt with my housing association before and would speak to them. however we got cut off and now I have to wait until Monday to speak with her again. I also rang my HA and was told the notice of repossession was sent April 11 but when I called back again I was told it was sent September last year. September was the first time I entered a payment plan with them and I stuck to it until February/March before I defaulted. Are they saying that my notice has been going on since September? I'm so confused and worried.

Good morning all, Have been living in a Housing Association on a short hold tenancy agreement since 2011 and experienced financial difficulties in 2013. All of 2013 I was only able to get contract/temp jobs which resulted in me falling behind on rent. Entered repayment plan with HA september 2013 but after 5 months defaulted again due to unemployment. I made small payments adhoc and recently started another full time job which I informed HA about but all fall on deaf ears. They dont want to enter any agreements and as of 11th April sent a notice of repossession which I never received but was told it was sent. What can I do now? I'm very scared at this point as the Officers at my HA refuse to liase with me and the only advice I get is to speak to CAB. By the way...all conversations have been over the phone.
