Back from the Dead
As a very laid back kind of chap, it does take quite a lot to rile me, but today has been one of those days… :punch:
After five long months of signing on, I landed myself a job as a Rent Officer for a Housing Association, not ideal, but better than scabbing pints from my friends :)
I attended County Court today to attempt and evict a tenant that had over £4 grand of rent arrears. Bearing in mind that she pays about £70 a week for a brand new (ish) 4 bed detached house; that’s a lot of weeks of unpaid rent. About 57. As in over a year.
Turns out after a little bit of research, predicting that she would be a bit sneaky, she has been on full Housing Benefit for 7 months, which has been paid directly to her….
Confronting her with this during the meeting with her solicitor before we go into the Chambers, she shouts something along the line of:
‘Yeah, I’ve had the ****in moneh, it’s all spent on a plasma, iphone, xbox, and clothes and ****.
You can’t ****in touch me you mug, you work all day and I just take it, ha! What’s the Judge gonna do, I’m on full benefit, I’ve got kids, I aint gonna loose my house, I’ll just have to pay it back at £3.25 a week. You can’t touch me son’
After resisting the urge to smack the cow in the chops, I turned in a Mildenhall save against Chelsea esque performance and the Judge gave the Association immediate possession.
I’m quite looking forward to attending with the Bailiffs and throwing her out.
Question is why do I feel incredibly guilty about taking away those three kids home? They’re not responsible for their mothers actions…..
