Hi,

Ex lives in a static caravan illegally whilst he waits for planning permission.

He has water, electricity but access by emergency services (heaven forbid he needs them) would be difficult because a) they would not know where he lives as it isn't a registered address b) it is a dirt track and a field from the road.

And

He wont be paying council tax, TV licence (water and electric he does get billed for).

He is self employed and declaring minimum but is about to build a 3/4 bed property with other buildings.

He has our daughter (2yrs) eow and I get £20 a week which I know is more than some get!!!Blush

I cannot do it anonymously as the council will not accept complaint. If he finds out I have dobbed him in he will go ape!!! Angry

Why do you want to.

I'd say living on a dirt track is punishment enough.

What are you reporting him for?

If underpaying - go to it, but recognise that it's bloody hard to prove.

If not that, what are you reporting him for?

If you are worried about emergency service access for him or the kids look up the os grid reference. All emergency services will recognise these.

Sound's like the guy has it tough enough, really don't think you will be doing him any favours, or yourself by saying anything...

Another one wondering what you want to report him for.

Caravans aren't liable for council tax.

You want to dob him in for not paying his TV licence? Why would you want to do that?

Yes make sure he knows his grid reference if he should ever need emergency services. But they are quite used to finding people who are out and about when they need help so I'm sure would manage.

MrsBoldon · 04/10/2014 16:58

I'm also wondering what exactly you'd be reporting him for?.

YouAreMyRain · 04/10/2014 17:05

If you dob him in, who will benefit?

He will have less money and less to give to you.

He will be more stressed.

Your relationship will suffer.

Why are you even considering it?

Talk about bitter ex partner.

Is it the 3/4 bed house that is waiting to be built that is getting your back up?

Would it be in your dd's best interests?
