What would the police arrest you for? He is not legally an adult untill 18 so you can keep his stuff untill then if he lives under your roof?

Actually, keeping someone's passport is an arrestable (and possibly jailable) offence, even if they're a minor. As a "document of passage", by withholding it you can be done for false imprisonment.

Also remember that any debt he runs up before being 18 would be unenforceable. As soon as he turns 18 though, contrary to what others have said, his bad debt could count against you - as many lenders do searches on all the residents of a household when any one of them is assessed.

Sounds like time for him to move out! Living under your roof and calling the police on you!! And then expect you to pick up the tab for his living expenses! No Way

Really???
Complete and utter rubbish. Only when you are financially linked they will (and only the linked people, not ALL of the people in the household). And you are only financially linked if you ever open any financial product together.

Rubbish!

Lenders have no legal right to do this.

That is complete and utter garbage.

Please don't give this advice again as it is untrue, and misleading.

I think Degenerate wrote touche (accent on the e) - a generous acknowledgement of my pedantic "hit". Comes from fencing, the posh sport, nothing to do with stolen goods!

The forum deletes letters with accents on...
