@CSAHell Selfish !
Contact dead beat dads and will your wages you should be able to get working tax credit. You need to do something ASAP
I’m in exactly the same position except I am going to go bankrupt because of the CSA vultures who don’t give a damn that they are driving people to suicide because of their heartless, void of all feeling, attitude towards people like me and Daniel. I’m disabled and can only work about 16 hours a week but I work to keep my head above water but unfortunately, now, I am about to drown so what’s the point? Being jobless will be less stressful but it shouldn’t be like this 🙁
There are two long term solutions one is to go self employed and the second is to emigrate even to Ireland or another EU country is fine.
In the short term you are probably better off going on the doll and getting a handle on your debt and stop the possibility of adding to that by miscalculated arrears.
Be careful though as I believe if you resign from a job the doll don’t have to pay.
Sign on the dole. Your get about £96 pound a week for your rent. Council tax paided. Plus about £70 a week for food. At 48 with children and a ex wife must be hard. Get you bills gas electric on metres. other dedts can be reduced too £7.50 e.g water pay monthly post office. Think back before your wife and family, back when you wanted to be a footballer or a space man or a head gardener. Pick a weekend job or hobbie that you could enjoy. For me that would be working with animals, a Zoo maybe. Well anyway you can work 16 hours a week on the minimum wage and not declare this. When the UK job market recovers and wages go up, you can get a back too bussiness. Work everyday,pay yor bills off take the kids on hoilday, and get a new more loyal wife. Your just running yourself into the ground.You clearly have tried so hard, your country has failed you and behind every powerful man your find a powerful woman. till death untill we part,your wife has failed you. Get a pet dog and get down the local park,go fishing.4Walls are boring.
