    Sometimes these stories just don't add up. This Portuguese bloke. So, he lived with his partner in the house owned by her, sounds like owned outright , had a Mercedes. If he worked , surely he had some savings? With job, he could rent a room in shred house? Better then sleeping rough.

    The sense of entitlement with Janelle is astonishing.

    This Jeanelle woman, what a chavvy idiot. Got money for designer accessories but not for her rent. She's blaming people who are helping her instead of taking responsibility for the mess she is in.

    She'd save a fortune if she stopped buying crappy false eye lashes too.

    In a lot of walks of life though the people who are trying to help are the ones who get the blame or the most abuse. It's because the ones trying to help are telling people what they need to do to get the help and often that requires too much effort from the person in need. In some cases, especially in this show, if people did what they were asked to do many of them may be rumbled if they are trying to hide the truth, they just don't want to face up to the facts so they lash out.

    Lived in the house for 25 years and speak no English. Says it all.

    The old man I can understand; he did say he spoke a little English and it gets harder to learn new languages as you get older (for most of us). But the son - wtf.
    But 25 years ago, they wouldn't have been as old.

    Personally I find it shocking they can turn homeless away and if anything this programme tells us one thing we need to build new council home and not allow the right to buy.

    And regards over crowing I think people do need housed certainly around here they get highest pritotiy for that. Been a few in this series that required larger houses.

    Not keen on them using epilepsy to try and get a council house, but they should probably get a higher priority because of it.

    The bedroom tax and being on zero hours contract work doesn't help the situation, but they shouldn't have got into rent arrears.

    I don't understand why she didn't apply for a smaller place and just done a home swap.

    Here we go, someone with 3 children wanting housing. Perhaps they shouldn't have had children if they didn't have proper housing?

    Apparently she didn't know they had stopped her money. rolleyes

    Like the bedroom tax hasn't been in the news enough.

    It's ridiculous that people have to make family homeless to get housing.

    They could have offered him B&B accommodation.

    I have a feeling they know the mother wouldn't really kick them out, so they were testing her bluff.

    What was that - £226 a week for a 2 bedroomed council flat?

    Fark me! :o Makes private renting in my city seem reasonably priced.

    That's cheap compared to central London.

    "It could be a fatality".

    Putting it on there. There are plenty of homeless people with epilepsy.

    It's not the councils fault she got herself into this situation.

    He should get a vasectomy if he wants to help himself so much.

    It would take 7 months of not paying the "bedroom tax" to build up just one month's of arrears. How did they get to £6,000 debt in less than a year?
