Hi, I need urgent advice on a few things and I'm not sure where to start.
I'm 18 (turn 19 on June 27th) and currently living with my parents in the North East. They have told me I need to leave within the week. Last night they locked the door to prevent me getting home.
They are demanding I hand over my passport and my Student Finance money. I have refused both.
I am a full time university student. My last SFE payment for this year has already come in. I have around £1,250 in savings. I have university accommodation requested for September but won't hear back until June.
I have also recently found out my parents are planning to take me abroad on July 15th to a country where I hold permanent residency. I did not agree to this trip. They have already researched my university schedule to plan around it. I am concerned about what happens if I am taken there against my will.
My questions are:
What are my rights regarding the council and emergency housing?
Can police do anything about the passport and planned trip situation?
What evidence do I need and how do I present it?
Any other further advice would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: at about 4:40 am this morning my father woke me up demanding my passport or he would drag me out the house right then and there. I didn't really have much of a choice so i had to hand it to him. Im hoping to call 101 tomorrow if i can get out of the house long enough to do so, but i just wanted to know what could 101 do in this situation to help me.
