Split up, and he's just emptied our bank account!!!

[oopsadaisyme]

Oh my god, he's just emptied our bank account -

what do I do? It's xmas!!

Then you need to politely ask him for some cash

Appeal to his better nature or you risk getting nothing from him.

What a piece of work. Do you work? Does your salary/benefits get paid into this one? If so make sure you change it tomorrow so he can't access any more in future. Do you have any money of your own?

If its got an Overdraft facility ask the bank to freeze the account or if you need money draw some out then freeze it so he can't take more.

As said above, stop any further money going into the account, ring tax credits, child benefit etc and switch it to another account.

Also start the ball rolling on CSA as it doesn't look like he's going to be reasonable about money..

(This is all assuming you have kids)

If you are desperate for cash or food, approach CAB and see what help you can get, emergency loan, food banks etc.

omg, everything in that bank account was for the kids xmas- theres nothing left -

What skye said.

Make sure no more cash gets paid into it.

Set up an account of your own & have your income paid into that one.

Phone him & ask him what he thinks he's doing.
