Ive Just shopped someone for benefit fraud, do I deserve to burn in hell.

[Gulitladen]

I feel quite bad.

This person is an acquaintance, She was a single parent for a few months, then she met someone who pretty much moved in, he was paying her bills for her and moved in properly earlier this year.

She has always worked full time with a salary of around 20k.

She seems to have an awful lot of money, and, as a single parent myself, I couldnt quite work it out. However, I have seen her tax credits renewal form as she didnt understand something and asked me to have a look for her, and shes claiming to be a lone parent, working 16.3 hours a week, earning 12k a year less than she actually is.

She is also claiming housing benefit as a single parent.

So, I have completed the DWP form and sent it off. I couldnt help it, it makes me see red.

But I now feel terrible.

Boudica, Im really sorry, i hope it doesnt come to that. x

Interesting that you don't care how many boozy nights out she has or how many handbags she owns, yet the hypocrisy as you saw it of her telling you to manage your money better, despite this, was the trigger for you 'seeing red' and reporting.

Sigh.

Its lovely that your so devoted to the wonderful state and government.

Entitled that wonderful MN phrase.

I love a play called Inspector Calls By JB Priestly, Read it some time op and lets hope the lady doesn't end up in a less than favourable state.

Her looking down on me did piss me off, yes. Of course it would do.

More so now I know that shes been wrongly claiming.

Anyway, I think its best to leave this now, carry on throwing the buns.

Yes but she cared enough to put it in her op didn't she. ( handbags and gladrags etc)

MN ' the place where fraud is celebrated and if you live by the law you are in the wrong'

can just see the headlines now.

People looking down on you is water off a duck's back when you've had years of it because you have a child with additional needs.

yes, yes, ive had it too, being a single parent.

but that wasnt what this was about at all.

And shows you are just trying to goat and throwing anything into it to try to prove your point.

"Carry on throwing buns"

Even just by reading the thread title you bloody well knew how this thread was going to go.

Goodness me, fraud is not being celebrated here. You're just being called out for being vindictive. I can see that it's not what you intended upon when starting the thread but people do tend to have opinions different to your own, on the internet.

I have no goat.

Everyone on MN has a goat, You. Did you not get your voucher?

No

Many posters have stated that even if they knew somebody was claiming fraudulently they still would not report. Isn't that celebrating it?

Granted the OP may very well have wanted a pat on the back minus the knives but that does not make the premise of the OP wrong. She had in her eyes good reason to suspect the claim was false is she wrong to report it?

Seriously??? All you lot who are saying report it to the 'authorities' Do you have any idea how you sound?

Don't you see that you're not just falling, but JUMPING willingly into the trap set by the gov't. They want us proles to turn on each other.. while we're doing that we're not bothered about them destroying the NHS, the Education of our children.. all the tax dodging billionaires.. troughing it up with gay abandon while we're frothing over a few measly thousand?? Really???? Wise up.

I know someone pretty close on the fiddle. I break my back for £36 a day and she gets double what I get, has plenty money and can take her kid out on a whim. Yeah it does piss me off she's got nice things and I haven't. Why wouldn't it?

Cilla, don't forget about Gove handing out the deeds to our schools to his mates.

You knew exactly what would happen when you started this thread OP and thats why you namechanged.

So well done you`ve achieved your aim.

I really dont know why MN allow these threads and goady posters to stand tbh.

And, sodding ban namechanging MN, why give posters a cloak to hide behind unless it is a very delicate situation, it pisses me off.

We earn £3 per week too much to qualify for the goat.
We are happy we can manage without and hope somebody else receives the goat we would have if £3 worse off.

What do your goats cost to keep, I hope its not too much.

And she's been shopped before and interviewed. They didn't stop her money

Well in the case that its fine, im going to start my own cash in hand business, maybe drop some hours at work, up the cash in hand work, wrongly claim and not mind who I tell about it.

:)

Glad to know that has the approval of everyone, and, should anyone dare to report me, they have serious issues that they really need to address and I am the better person.

A few thousand when you are living on the breadline is a lot of money, sure it might not be to you, but try and remember that not everyone is comfortably well off.

Not read the full thread so sorry if it's been mentioned before, but HMRC will know exactly what she earns and if it's too much for the tax credits she's claiming, she'll get a bill at the end of the year for the over payment and her Tax Credits will stop until the shortfall is met. I know because it happened to me. I wasn't trying to con the system, but my salary fluctuated for a while and I claimed for the worst case scenario. Turned out I earned a bit more and had to pay it all back.

I've never bothered claiming Tax Credits for the past 4 years, it was too much hassle for about £50 every 4 weeks which I would end up probably paying back anyway.

I'm just glad I don't have a friend like you op, will you be there for her when her benefits are stopped whilst they investigate and she can't feed her kids?

OP I bet you REALLY don't know the true situation .
You are just a jealous and nasty woman.

She is not my friend.

Please read the thread.
