Soo I’ve just had a call from our letting agent went to voicemail as I was on a call and my fucking husband hasn’t paid the rent for the last 2 months….

The bastard is at work and his phone has been switched off

I don’t have the money to pay it all - I did wonder why he had some extra money

We have separate accounts he pays rent etc I pay other bills it all works out fair

I am so bloody angry I daren’t phone the letting agent back and I’m off to check his emails 😡😡😡

Mildly!?!?

I keep seeing it and checking see if she has updated I really hope its an administrator error and he has been paying it all along

Another one wondering what happened. I hope it's an anti climax rather than than the DP having left the country or something.

He was in hospital in May (for 2 weeks) and again in July (for 2 weeks)

I need to speak to the letting agent I’ve rang 3 times and not had an answer

Why was he in hospital?

Hope this has been sorted

Why was he in hospital?

First time was when he didn't pay the council tax.

The second when he'd missed a payment to Vodafone.

Is Your Husband been known to Gamble. There is a Reason. Sorry.
Communicate with your agent - don't let this debt get away from you
as there is a way out long term. Pay the Rent weekly also.

How would they see they were unread, unless they’d put read receipts, which is not the norm. It’s email not WhatsApp.

It's quite normal to use.read receipts if you are using Microsoft Office Outlook, which is used by most businesses

But I have the ability and often do, to not send the read receipt…… so it’s a useless system!

If they are using gmail you can add an app that doesn't require the person that receives the email to acknowledge it. It just tells you that its been opened.

Ahardyfool · 12/08/2023 09:03

Christmascrumpet’s reply is fantastic.

Otherwise, I just came here to say that my exDH did this (unbeknownst to me) just prior to the telephone call I received from him asking me to pick the children up from nursery instead of him doing so. He made this call just after he disembarked the plane that had touched down in Spain where he was to reside for the foreseeable. Dick.

JudgeRudy · 12/08/2023 09:25

Come back OP. I'm dieing for an update. Why hasn't he paid? Unfortunately I can't think of a good outcome to this. Hope you're OK.

Or - even more sinister - OP is in a shallow grave.

Remember that case when the woman found out that her husband was in massive debt. When she confronted him he....well, google it.

Sorry for lowering the tone.

sqirrelfriends · 12/08/2023 09:52

I keep coming back and every time there’s no update.

OhamIreally · 12/08/2023 09:58

@Ahardyfool so your husband didn't pay the rent then fucked off to Spain leaving you with two children to raise?

My ex did something similar (bills were paid though) and that phone call moment is burned into my brain. I'm sure it leaves you with PTSD .

I guess it wasn’t as big a drama as she thought then 🙄

NannyOggsWhiskyStash · 12/08/2023 12:22

So, has he now paid the rent?

WhereshallIwander · 12/08/2023 12:25

We are entrenched in mystery, captivated by the suspense and stumped by the inability of the OP to answer the cardinal question of what has happened to her husband.

Checking Daily Mail for any recent news on domestics

Rosiem2808 · 12/08/2023 12:27

Easy. He has form for doing this sort of thing. She has gone ballistic on here, later she has calmed down because he did pay the rent and there was a mix up and now it is all ok.
OP has not returned to the thread because she is either too embarrassed or ashamed or can't be bothered any more

Not really, most of us ignore them. Usually used by demanding twerps who think their stuff is more important than anyone else. I don't send them.

An email marked important does get my attention though.

itsmylife7 · 12/08/2023 12:47

I imagine the OP reading this thread and thinking " tricked them all and laughing"

I can't speak for all Agents but when I forgot to change the standing order the Agents rang the next day, not two months later!
