<prompt> Human: Essentially I was in a great job and just figured I could get a new one without any issues as I was naive. Id been in the same job for 7 years after I left college so I thought Id have experience people would want. Turns out its fucking hard.I worked a handful of basic jobs but couldnt hold them for long as youre just not what were looking for once Id completed my free trial periods and what not. Money ran out quick and I found that bill after bill was coming in.- Water Bill - 94 Phoned them up and theyve given me some options that are viable, thanks guys!- Gas Bill - 84- Electric Bill - 141- Council Tax - 908- Two Months Rent - 1620 They also add 10 a day for late payment- 500 borrowed from a friend This I feel so fucking shitty about as theyre my only friend and I cant even put two pennies together to pay them back- Mobile 69 Service now suspendedTotal:2916.I dont have family to turn to and Ive got nothing left to sell. Ill be honest and after I lost my job I ended up splitting with my gf as I ended up trying and taking drugs for the first time. I just felt like I had nothing left to lose. Turns out I was wrong as that just helped me skip along a really self destructive little path in a very short amount of time.Hell the only reason Im online right now is because my neighbour doesnt have a password on her wifi.I want to be a proper person again. Where do I start? What do I prioritise?  <response>: Lots of good advice in this thread. On top of what other people have said:Rent: tell your LL what is going on! tell him you have applied for HB and see below re backdating. Housing BenefitCouncil Tax benefit: When you apply ask for it to be backdated you can ask for these to be backdated by up to 6 months as long as you were eligible during that period, so get it backdated to when this period of nil income started.Council Tax: In my experience these can be most aggressive and will quickly tack on extra charges, etc by getting a court order. Ring them up and explain your situation, even if you cannot pay anything just now. Ask them to put your account on hold until your CTB app has been considered.Utility bills - Most utility providers have a scheme to pay off arrears for people who have gotten into difficulty. If your provider doesnt have its own scheme, you can apply to the british gas energy trust.Check out - thames water customer assistance fund link to form here british gas energy trust fund - link hereAlso Stepchange and CAB are both helpful and free.
