  • Update for 11/04/2014

      11 April 2014

    Enter details of your update here Sue is a survivor, and so are her children [aged 16 & 19] The first big tests for Sue has been broken relationships - but she picked herself up and moved on - Next Sue was a victim of the collapse of 'Canterbury Mortgage' all her savings from a house sale [as instructed legally] disappeared over night - some 6 years later - she has been drip fed some monies but very little of the $60,000.00 that was going to use to buy another home- Then Sue and her children survive the earth quakes - but not without impact - they remain in this broken home - however they have been given notice to move and soon - within the month - Sue works, full time - supporting both children - the eldest who is suffering from extreme anxiety and trauma - Sue lives off her $16.00 per hour job - and is not coping - Sue has looked at many properties BUT the rent hikes from greedy landlords - wont allow Sue to eat or met the everyday living costs - Sue budgets but it tough when most rentals start from $350.00 upwards or to cut travel costs from $400.00 now consider that these homes that Sue has looked at - are still broken - one landlord said "" you can rent this house at $380.00 but when they come in to fix it - you will have to move"" Sue went to Housing NZ but was told"" there are more urgent than you - in fact hundreds - however we will probably re look at your situation if you go homeless - no guarantee"" Sue has no savings they were taken the greedy landlords are asking up to $2000.00 for bond- she has no means or money to pay for any tidy up now expected on the current broken property; Sue has no ability to move her stuff or even pay for that""
