where do i stand?

Have you got kids and responsibilities. If your money has dropped can you pick up extra tax credits or benifits. You deserve them if you can get them. Just remember some families who do nothing earn at least £26000 a year. Get what you are entitled to.

yes mate got 2 kids, but the missus works 3 days a week as a legal secretary so i dont think we qualify, tbh i am hoping it would not come to that, but who knows what the future holds

If you do lose your job the first thing you need to do is talk to your mortgage company and see if they'll allow you to go on to interest only payments only, it'll save you a lot of money in the short term.

Redundancy and leaving your job : Directgov - Employment

 

[Mr Mike]

Keep your head down, continue to work professionally; whilst sending out your c.v.
I know it has come at the wrong time for you but stay focussed, pass your exam and the redundancy may not come your way.

Hope all works out well for you.

Is the company a member of the ECA and do you get paid JIB wages/conditions etc? If they are and you do then it might be worthwhile giving your union rep. a call, do it even if they aint a member anyway.

it affects about 10 of us but to be fair i would say i am in the top two skills/qualifications wise - but everything has been done by the book and yes the firm is a member of the ECA

 

[alarm man]

if its been done by the book then take the money and run,im a bit unsure about this week to week thing,make sure it isnt a week to week contract where he can let you go when work isnt there,be careful what you sign..

You can receive a 30 minute free interview with a solicitor to have a look at this letter from your company and free advice within that 30 mins. Also you can get free help from the government regarding mortgage advice, here you go and good luck:- Government Mortgage Help on House Repossession | Mortgage Help
