Hi I’m in need off advice on where to go to get some help with a phone call I had yesterday , I advertised on Facebook that I was looking for some cleaning work and I had a couple off people ask me ...but because off my mental health I didn’t do it in the end , I got a letter saying they where calling me at 9am ain’t 25th ...I was on phone for 75 mins ended in tears I’m on a very high antidepressant and anxiety tablet and I’ve got bipolar I was very distressed I was asked if I had a eBay account and was told I’m not allowed to sell things for profit...I’ve had account since 2017 and bought and sold 63 things in that time ...probably made £300 after fees and PayPal ,
My main thing is I’ve been asked to send bank statements , I do have money in there that I didn’t say about because I’m going through a court battle and have bills off over £17,000 upwards to possibly £50k ...this is not hidden it’s in my currant account and is not my money it’s to pay the Solisitor, but I’ve been told I’m being fined £50 plus have to payback any over payment because off this money ...I’m very deeply upset as I could have hidden it but I didn’t ...it was a endowment I had for 25 years that I was going to pay some off my mortgage off ...I’m driving a car that’s 15 years old ...I don’t go out no holidays just about getting by ...I can not spend this money as I know I have to pay this Solisitor bill ...I’m worried sick and hoping that I can get advice or possibly be guided to a place I could get help other than cab ...many thanks in advance. I hope I haven’t confused you . This has been very stressful and I am with a mental health group and doctor is aware that I’m venerable and I’m on my own and just need to get some closer...I’m sick with worry am I in big trouble ?

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

If you are receiving an Income Related benefit such as ESA(IR), Income Support or Universal Credit and have savings in excess of £6000 then your benefit will be reduced, if your savings are more than £16,000 then you lose entitlement to the benefit. I'm afraid it does not matter whether the money is intended to pay a future debt.
It is very difficult for me to offer advice without more information but even if you supply it I may still be able to provide any, you would be best advised to get face to face advice from a trained advisor, do an internet search for "welfare advice" with your postcode, town or county.
