Hello my name is Lisa and I am a single person based in the UK. I live in an apartment block in East London.
Like everyone I have been affected by the energy crisis but in recent times this has now hit me hard and I find myself in a living situation that is spiralling out of control with household bills I can no longer afford. Currently the amount in debt is £3,500.00 and yet to go up with another £1,000.00 to be added by the end of the year, and this will continue on a quarterly basis.
The service charges and utility bills have increased by 80% in the past year and I have to pay these bills to a housing management company that is similar to a mafia (whatever they charge it has to be paid as is stated in the lease). It doesn’t matter how negligent the management company has been by spending the money on service fees and contractors, it is still demanded and without payment they have sent letters of threats of legal action and eviction.
I am in between a rock and a hard place, unable to pay the bills with no support offered and also unable to move house for a fresh start without the unscrupulous housing management company, which is turning into a highly stressful situation. Even with a full time job, unfortunately my salary hasn’t doubled so living here has now become unsustainable and if I stay here I will face eviction with nowhere to go.
Legally I do not have much of a leg to stand on and of course even if I considered taking on a multi million housing agency in a court, this of course would cost even more money with legal fees. I am now looking to find a new home, somewhere that doesn’t have these insane bills and fees that apartments sadly have. For a new home I would require a deposit of at least £20,000.
If in any way you can contribute any amount to my Paypal it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for reading and considering my plea and for your kind generosity with your donation.
