Hello everyone, I would very much help appreciate any help/advice on the following: Had a suspensed order imposed on my house in Sep 2009 due to arrears. Since then I have maintained payments up til May 2012 when I then missed 2 months payments. I recieved 1st Eviction notice dated for 13 June 2012. I subsequently managed to make this payment on 14th May 2012 and the eviction was stopped by Hamlins c/o Santander. I then missed the June payment (due on 30 June 2012) and received a letter dated 20th July from Hamlins stating they had applied for eviction. I immediately paid the amount due to bring things back in order. Hamlins have however not stopped the eviction (due on 14th August) and have stated the only way to do this is give them 4 months payment in addition to normal payments before 14th August. I have given them my budget/costs and told them I am incapable of giving this amount. The background to all this is that my father had terminal cancer and was in palliative care at home. I had to take unpaid leave to help look after him and thus the first eviction notice came about. I resolved that through friends/family helping to pay off the missed payment. I informed Hamlins about this personal situation at the time. My father died on 20th June 2012 and I was going through a rough patch and missed the payment due on 30 June. The first correspondance I received after this point from Hamlins was the notice dated 20th July that they had applied to the courts to evict. I am at my wits end and Hamlins have made clear they dont want to know - its 4 months payment or bust. The fact that I have made overpayments literally every month since 2009 and that I have a secure job and can afford the repaymenst have fallen on deaf ears. Sorry for the long post but your advice is greatly appreciated.
