Benefit fraud investigation

[Sn0wpink]

So have gone through CMS to try get money off my ex, we were colleagues for years and I know he gets around £500 a week cash in hand from work alone and is also getting benefits. CMS recently told me that they received evidence from HMRC that my Ex ‘earns’ £100 a week from working and is still on benefits. I contested this and now Fraud/Financial investigation is underway and they have referred the case over to Benefit Fraud. I feel quite uneasy as it will be obvious it came from me. Any advice? Should I have just left it alone? So anxious.

Anyone have firsthand experience of what happens when he is found guilty? Will he actually have to pay the money back and/or face prison sentence?

There has been numerous appeals to whoever is in power, lots of petitions, lobbying mp's and nothing changes....

Errant fathers and mothers need to pay properly and we need to follow through on punishments for lying and avoiding maintenance.

My eldest son is 26. We went to court numerous times. He lied and left employment. Companies helped him avoid an attachment of earnings. The bailiffs. And attachment on his house.

Oh and when my DS was early 20's they wrote to me and said they were writing his debt off. With or without my say so.

It is shameful what we do to single parents in this country.
