We are in the (slow) process of divorcing. He still has the majority of post delivered here, including a new phone and tablet I had to collect from a neighbour the other day .
today a letter came and it was poorly sealed and I opened it. I know it was wrong, but now I'm glad I did. It is a letter from the court saying he owes £165 and needs to pay up otherwise goods/cars can be seized. I am worried and livid.
I phoned the number given but of course they can't discuss it and just advised me to return the letter 'not known at this address' and tell him to contact them. I am now so anxious. Will have to tell him I've opened his letter and then face him probably blaming me for his problems. He has had paid work pretty much consistently since moving out (sahd before that) and, though it's not well paid, he shouldn't have let this happen. He has obviously been burying his head in the sand about something (new phone, taking dc out to restaurants to eat multiple times a month - all he seems to do with them), 2 holidays in one year etc etc. I feel sure there will be a horrible scene tonight and at the end of it I will have no certainty that he will take the necessary steps to ensure my goods/car don't get taken - or will they be taken anyway???
He is the registered keeper of my car still, as it was the more convenient way to do it at the time, but I paid for it in full and he has never driven it- would they have a right to it?
My other fear is that it is a motoring fine for my car that has gone unpaid, but he would have had no reason not to let me know if I'd got a speeding fine, for example, and those come in big DVLA envelopes don't they, so I would have seen it?
I feel sick...
