<prompt> Human: For context, I use a bank book for my savings account, which has quickly turned into my student loan account. Since starting uni, Ive found it incredibly hard to make travelling work. I get 250 per month from work,I pay 120 in Rail Fare, on average, and 80 on car insurance. Filling up the tank costs 40. Its a joint owned car between me, my mum and crucially, imo my dad. Im finding it incredibly hard to make ends meet every month. My mum promised to help with with fuel, i.e. transferring money for payments for one of the on average 2 fill-ups per month. However, Dad has control of their account, and has flat-out refused to pay for it. Even when most fuel consumption hasnt been by me, I still have to pay the full bill.I dont pay rent. I know thats lucky, but heres where it gets shady: every time I try to get my bank book he hides it from me, likewise with my brother he either begrudgingly hands it over, or flat out refuses. Its worse with my brother - he accompanies him to withdrawals to help with his spending. Any time I try to retain control of my book, he threatens to a kick me out or b make me pay extortionate rent. I have tried to keep control of it once, and found myself with a 70 living bill I could not afford this was at the end of the month.I need to get access to my money. The regular bailouts are too hard, and I know that a day will come where I instantly need the money, but cant get to it. How do I make this work? Is there a way to make this happen? Whats best for me in this situation?  <response>: Since this may very well involve UK laws, you might also try posting at if you cant get a good answer here.
