    Not really it'll just be like the other thousand shows that have been on about Benefits. 😴

    I don't see the need to single out people on benefits (yet again) with this programme. Has no-one in employment ever taken out credit they failed to pay back for a new telly or car or other non-essential item? I suppose it's more "fun" just to stick the boot into dirty scroungers who are probably also responsible for what's happening in Calais...somehow.

    I suspect it will be repeats from the main show but featuring anyone who is on benefits.

    Don't blame him for being annoyed, but the landlord has really been gunning for a fight.

    Does anyone ever have to pay the unpaid rent or are they just let off without paying anything?

    It seems to be usually impossible to get rent arrears paid even if the landlord goes back to court. Basically this landlord will have to write off the £12k owed

    Who knows.


    Looks like CH5 are just adding "On benefits" to all their shows now.

    Housing benefit

    Do you know if it was paid to the tenants and they used it for stuff other than rent?

    Or if they just failed to claim it?

    |It seems to have been paid to the tenants initially but (I think) after the court order the housing benefit was paid directly to the landlord. Basically the tenants seem to have used it for other thngs

    £2500 ish.

    But she was in debt to £45,000 in total, but I think that included a student loan.

    £45,000 but that included a student loan, repayments of which would not start until she earned over a certain amount...£22k or thereabouts

    I've always said rent should be paid to the land lord. It should be classed as theft if someone spends housing benefit on anything other than rent.

    At least she accepts it's her debt and she'll have to make efforts to pay, but I feel sorry for her.
