A devastated family have had to move into a caravan because they have “nowhere else to go” after being evicted from their home when their landlord failed to keep up with mortgage repayments.
Mr and Mrs Trout from Ronkswood, Worcester, were forced to move out after Bailiffs acting on court orders changed the locks on their home.
The couple are now living in a caravan outside their home along with 22-year-old son Mark, Worcester News revealed.
Worcester County Court ordered the repossessions after Halifax made the application when landlord Noman Aziz fell £6,000 behind with repayments.
“We’ve got no other option other than to put a caravan near the front and sleep in it,” 51-year-old Margaret Tout told the newspaper. “We literally have nowhere else to go.”
They say that they have been unable to find another property to rent because of the upfront costs that new landlords are asking for.
Kind neighbours have meanwhile offered the family the use of their bathroom, but the Trouts expect to be removed from the land within a couple of weeks when another court order is issued.
