Receiving a warrant for possession can be frightening and shocking experience, regardless of whether you own your home or are a secure tenant.
This is especially true if you are already experiencing financial difficulties.
However, there is still a chance that you will be able to remain in your home or buy some more time to sort out your affairs.
Our housing team has an excellent track record in suspending warrants and at short notice. We can often make an application to Court on your behalf and negotiate an agreement with your landlord. A suspension is usually made on terms of agreement to make payments, and of course the sooner you come to us after receiving the warrant the better.
