  • Surely the best option is to use the information to extract extra cash for the kids.

    You get more out of someone by holding a gun to his head and making threats, once you pull the trigger you get nothing.

    I like what you say only being on Income Support atm my kids wouldnt benefit from CSA payments even though he should be making them anyway, my kids are top of my list and I would do anything for them, but this is about principles.

    I havent mentioned blackmail anywhere on my posts, that isnt what im trying to do.

    "Extortion-the felonious act of extorting money (as by threats of violence)" (according to online dictionary) nope dont think im doing that either!!

    to report someone for benefit fraud - just phone up the helpline and they will ask you a series of questions about the person...description what time they leave/return to the house etc.

    They don't even ask you for your name.

    Absolutely grass. Its people like him which makes me SO angry. The vast majority of us work, pay our taxes etc. And people like this make life harder for everyone else.

    I agree with moutainofdebt, phone up the benefits helpline. Get CSA chasing. Phone the police and let him know when he leaves the house in his car and that he has no insurance etc.

    Grass. Why should we all pay for 'Bleeps' like him.

    It is everyone's moral duty to report crime.

    Shop him straight away, as long as you know it wont come back on you as with all the info your gonna give will he suspect you and only you, also is this all factual or a bit embelished upon.

    Yes I would report him. Especially about the car. You are not grassing on anyone your not a gang member.
    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.
