Advice please

Hi,

Sorry if this has been answered before.
My H and I have been separed almost 3 years and he moved out in june 06. He has recently moved (he told me), last week I received 2 letters from his council and today one from water company. I mistakenly opened one from council, about a couple of payments still needing to pay, it says on it, "further to our conversation"...I deduct he must have given them my address as his new address?!. I mean, I am not ok with this. When I told him about it, he declared he will no longer want to speak to me?? I think he thought I was just gonna go along with it and just give him the mail when he visits his son, but I won't, I can't risk it, I am declared alone with my son, I don't want any complications. Will these people continue writing here even if I send back the letters? One of them wants my name put on the enveloppe already. I am very upset about this.... Someone can give an advice about how to handle this or wether hey had that problem before? please.
Thank you.

Can you ring or write to both companies to inform them that your exh is no longer resident at your address and has not been since x date? Ask them to confirm in writing that they acknowledge this. If you have his new address give it to them.

Return any further post with 'Not known at this address' written on it. Keep a record of who you have spoken to and the date, and tell your exh that you will be advising the companies concerned that he does not live at your address.

Thank you for your answer. He has never wanted to give me his address. I was worried that if I phone the Cies they will be asking me questions etc...and I think why should I have to tell them who I am and so on. But I guess I will have to get in touch with them. The ex does no longer wish to speak to me !

You MUST inform them in no uncertain terms that he is not longer at your address. Particularly the council, as otherwise you may become liable for full council tax and it could impinge on any benefits or tax credits you receive, if they believe he is living with you. The rest is his problem.
