She’s under the assumption it will give her magical powers with regards to residency and it’s a better utility bill. I’ve already put her on the water and electric (2 by mistake) and she keeps on asking me to put her on the council tax.
She’s got an eu passport but from South America. Wants residency.
I’ve told her to get on the electoral roll as it’s good for credit checks/finding your last address etc.
I’ve given her a utility bill (was easy to add at 7pm on a Friday night and bill the next day).
She’s under the assumption that it’s going to help her open a bank account and the banks have already told her the water utility bill is fine.
I’ve lived overseas for many years and came back - so I’ve gone through this process.
She’s read that if you are in council tax arrears it can affect your permanent resident status - she’s read this as “if you don’t pay council tax” which she does, as part of her rent.
I’ve told her to get a driving licence as it’s good ID and address.
I just don’t want to feel pressurised into doing stuff because she disbelieves everything I say.
