At the moment, myself, my fiance and my mum and her lil pomchi cross chihuahu dog are struggling to find a bigger home as we are all currently living in a 1 bedroom flat, which thankfully has all it's bills included, but we're worried about moving as we would need a removals van, and all of the packing things like boxes and other things like that and then there's going to be the skyrocketing bills on top of that.
Myself and my fiance are on universal credit and my fiance also works part time as a cleaner he works 2 hours a day 6 days a week. -

I have a question to ask recently people have been worried that they won't get the payments because all of Duddon people are being told on their journals that they are in debt and had over payments that haven't been recovered some of the recoverys they are trying to claim are from years ago debt management have had many cases being brought up from as long as 20 years ago they are looking into these cases
The question I am asking is those people that this has happend to will debt management take the cost of liveing payments off them to pay the debt -
It’s not paid with a UC payment. It’s called the cost of living payment so I can’t see how they can take this for debt repayments.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

The first payment is due from 14th of July and is being paid through universal credit so this will be paid on a different day and won't affect any debt repayments that debt management are collecting though people's universal credit then ?

No, i can't see that they will take this for any debt because it's to help with the cost of living increases.Yes debt management reduce claimants UC payments to pay back any debt owed.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

It will be paid between the 14th-31st July. So it doesn't mean you will receive it on 14th. It will be paid separately to your usual money.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

Having to go couple days without food every week sometimes no electric for a day or so and by time anyone contacts you with help it's to late as your next payment has went in. Also not getting cost if living oayment is kick in the teeth
