    I'll be finishing up renting my place soon.

    I have one more rent payment which is tomorrow but there has been a cock up with my wages and can't afford to pay the rent. I usually get paid weekly, but there has been a cock up for the past three weeks which I was trying to fix on time and thats sorted now. Just this morning.I'm going to be paid three weeks pay next week.

    So what do I do.

    It goes automatically into his bank account every month by standing order.

    Can you afford to pay part of the rent? You could ring the landlord and explain and offer part of the rent? Or you could ask your bank for an overdraft? Or you could borrow the money from a friend or relative? Good luck

    I've helped out family so many times but when it comes to it they won't help me in any circumstances.

    I won't be able to get to a bank at all either. Would I be able to organise an overdraft in such a short amout of time. If so I could perhaps leg it to a bank.
