Has he not been a bit stupid rather than a premeditated plan to commit fraud, it may still be fraud I know?

Claiming nursery fees for a child that does not and never has attended nursery is fraud. It was deliberately and knowingly done. There is no "may" about it.

Yes it is stupid.......but some people are greedy and unscrupulous. But to knowingly commit an offence like this when you've got children to care for is terrible. Fraud is a serious crime. You can get imprisoned for it. Where will the kids be then?

It would appear that it is the child care costs have gone down to nil from xmas?

No, they were always nil for one of the children. That child does not go to nursery. But the OP claimed that they were.

I was asking if you were implying that I was a work shy fraudster who should be prosecuted as you had used the term you in your reply to me, and being some waht tongue in cheek.

I don't even know who you are?
Who are you?
Do you work?
Commit fraud?
I have no idea.


My comment was in reply to you saying that there was a "fine line" between fraud and giving misinformation or knowingly claiming for money that you are not entitled to.

My reply was that there is no "fine line" - it's one and the same thing!

Well I am sorry for offending you with my post what about the rest of what i have said would you like to rip that to shreds as well.

I wonder if this is as clear cut as you seem to think and would ask that the OP comes back on to clarify his first post, but I doubt it.

why would the 2 children have been registered in the first place?

You haven't offended me. Why would you think you have?

The children weren't registered with a nursery. The OP told the tax credit people that they were so that he and his partner could falsely claim for the childcare costs.
