I know this is an odd question. Here is the situation. We are moving house. My dad, who lives abroad, has asked me to set up one of the utilities at our new address in his name. His reason for asking us is that he regularly visist the UK and no longer has a permanent address here so when he tries to do things like get mobile phone contracts, it is a nightmare. Last time he was here, I ended up having to put his mobile contract in my name. He has a British passport and a UK bank account, but that isn't enough.
So, I really don't want to do this, but feel that I should do him this favour as he has done favours for me financially. However, I want the full facts before I decide.
What are the implications of me doing this? What come back could there be for me?
