As far as rent arrears goes you do NOT have to be denied help by a social landlord. Former tenant arrears guidelines are in place through government that if you are paying them off, have stuck to the payment plan and are able to maintain the payments on top of other essential outgoings then they can rehouse you on an introductory tenancy until the arears are cleared.
Something else that a lot of councils get into trouble for but continue to do if failing homeless families or other priotrity groups under the 'reasonable to remain' part of the legislation. Scotland has some different 'quirks' in law BUT we all have rights and sometimes we need a professional to remind the councils just who they are supposed to help. Specialist housing advice units are all over the UK, some are attached to CAB offices, some are with law centres and some stand alone. Shelterline is always a good place to start as they will look at your case almost straight away but some areas are so overworked that you may need to find a local alternative so just google housing advice centre, law centre or housing aid with your area after it and see what comes up
