Get a job.
The only possible reason you could have for not getting work is no fixed address.
If you have an address, you can get a job.

It might be the worst job in the world, but it's still a job.
Failing that, go back to school.
 
Serious answer: I would ask myself why I'm getting nothing but rejections from employers e.g. asking for feedback on why I was rejected. I would speak to http://www.cccs.co.uk/ for some advice on what I can do about my debt.

Also, speak to Shelter about housing problems. See if you can find a food bank near you too.

Wow man, sorry to hear your story.

You have no family whatsoever? You must have someone and if relationships are broken try and mend them.

I would suggest you need to get advice from a support worker and sign up to a hostel for a fixed address, as you definitely need to get some confidence and independence back, they can definitely help with getting you back on your feet.
 
I would say

My name is Mohammedddd from Iraq, and I would like to claim asylum.

They you will get a house and lots of benefits :)
 
Turn off the electric and only turn it back on when I need to cook or clean myself.
Cut out EVERYTHING that was not necessary to survive, fags, booze, car, broadband etc.
Everything else that WAS necessary to survive I'd try and make cheaper, buying cheap food, second hand clothes etc
Start knocking on every door related to what I wanted to get into or take on anything that I could manage that paid money.
Be an odd job man for a while, doing tasks like cutting grass, cleaning windows, DIY, anything.
All cash in hand until I had something secure and long lasting.
Get off benefits.
Live like a hermit, training to be better at what I wanted to do until I could do it and get paid to do it.
Then and only then would I start to LIVE.

Oh and yea, tell the debt companies to go swivel

As a general rule... the state will help pay for courses if it's you don't have that level qualification already, or if you're on benefits. When I went back to college I had to pay for my level three stuff (A levels and equivalents) because I already had (rubbish) A levels... if I'd not had any, I'd've got onto the course for free.

But if you are at college full time where does the money to live come from?
 
go bankrupt, total clean slate.
Join any of the forces, even for just 3 years, you will come out with quals, and immediately into housing.
No one is this country is absolutely poor, what we are is relatively poor, and you will not starve or be homeless, unlike so may places in the world. Chuck yourself on the state, they have to house you. Its the law.

If you ever found yourself in these bleak circumstances what would you do to survive?

Your 25 alone and in the Uk you cant find any employment whatsoever in your area your had nothing but rejection letters to look at for company.Your qualifications are basically non existent you don't even have any gcse.

You don't have any savings or anything of value to sell and you have a very poor credit rating so no borrowing any money.

You don't have any family or any close people you could turn to for help.

Your been in debt of 25k accumulated over 6 years when your credit rating was good, you have no way of paying the payments on this.

Your claiming benefits but this is not enough to pay rent even without paying the bills + everything else you need to live you have just enough money to pay next weeks rent and thats it.You cant find any other places to rent that are cheaper or available so you speak to citizen advice and they are unable to advise further on your situation.

To your name you've only got a small backpack with 1 set of cloths and thats it.



So what would you do next?

Take my backpack and single set of clothes and travel, hitchhiking, working odd-jobs along the way.
 
Do Personal Track Safety Certificate and work on the rail.

You will get some decent money and it will keep you occupied or try security and get SIA licence.

These are most likely to get you a job quicker.

What types of jobs have you been applying for if you dont mind me asking, considering you dont have any qualifications ?

There is absolutely no way you are going to get a bursary big enough for a single person to actually LIVE on whilst doing a full time college course!

Yes some universities provide a Busary of up to £3000, depending on your income. I think less that £15k if I remember correctly you qualify for all of it, plus you can access hardship fund.

But even 3k for a whole year is pushing it, maybe a part time job would be good.

You can stay a halls of residence for the first year, Meet some new people make friends, regain your confidence, and just flat share privately 2nd/3rd year with people.

Edit: also on top of the grant he would have access to and maintenance loan. He could possible get a income of £9k minimum while full time at uni, but again thats more debt, but he wont have to pay it back untill he earns over the threshold.

Firstly the suggestion was COLLEGE not Uni. Somebody with ZERO qualifications is not going to get into Uni and rightly so. The suggestion was to pick up some GCSE's or similar.

Secondly living on £3k a year? LOL
