Interview under caution am really scared!

***UPDATE***

I attending this morning with my friend who came into the room with me for support. I was cautioned and interviewed by one person, it was recorded.

It was about my ex-partner (over 2 years since we split) staying over occasionally as someone had reported me for committing fraud. It seems they have some photographic evidence of him coming late in the evening and leaving in the morning, such evidence was a handful of photos taken over 2 visits, 2 weeks apart, hardly concrete proof we are in a relationship together!

I was prepared, having heard more gossip in the last 48 hours about who had reported me, so I was armed with paperwork.

I answered all their questions honestly and in detail, making it quite clear why my ex-partner had stayed on occasions because he had been spending time with his mum who was dying of cancer. I pointed out that he was a good father to our 3 children and often took them out for tea (without me present) and put them to bed.

It was all very formal if I am honest, I think the interviewer was a little shocked at how prepared I was, I submitted evidence of our separate financial history, proof of my tenancy, his property, wages, driving licences etc. My ex even managed to get a letter from his mother's GP, detailing she was terminal ill and expected to go into a hospice in the next few days and as her only son he wanted to remain as close as possible to help her.

I think the interviewer felt like a bit of a idiot at times.

I held nothing back, I even admitted I was in an early relationship with someone else, and explained how she was still living at home with her parents and we were taking things slowly. He didn't expect that, I also pointed out that the reason my relationship with my children's father ended was because I struggled with being in a relationship with him.

I also told him I was possibly aware who had reported me, but of course I had no proof since it was hearsay, but our volatile friendship when back to our primary school days!

Lasted just under an hour, and upon leaving I was told it was unlikely that it will be taken further given the evidence I have supplied, I should get a letter about the investigation shortly.

I had no tricks up my sleeve, I was just open and honest! I did ask was it illegal in any way for my children's father to occasionally stay over to see his children, to remain part of their lives etc.

Watch this space!
