I’ve received a letter stating a Notice of Seeking Possession is going to be served does this mean I am going to lose my home?
A Notice of Seeking Possession is not an eviction notice nor does it mean you are going to lose your home. This letter gives an appointment when the Income Officer will visit you and explain the details of the Notice. It is important you attend this appointment as the Income Officer will be able to explain the Notice fully and answer any questions you may have. A Notice is normally served due to you having rent arrears. Once the Notice has been served to you, you have approximately 4 weeks to make an arrangement to pay the arrears (in full or in instalments) and keep to the arrangement. If the arrangement is broken, this can result in an application to court. Notices are served regardless of the reasons for arrears – whether they are due to Housing Benefit or non-payment.
