Fraud tip off...

DomRidd

If you thought someone was being fraudulant, one would you contact to ask to investigate... I mean claiming housing benefit, while driving round in two new audis, and running a business from home, and taking out c/c's in his partners name and spending on them?

the local council would have a fraud investigation section, if you wanted to report it.

For housing benefit it would be your council office.

What about getting the credit cards in his partners name and racking them up!?

Local council would investigate for housing benefit, could also mention to them about running a business from home as I believe they need to be informed if the house is being used as a business premises.
Very much doubt there is much you can do on the credit cards, if his partner has taken them out in her name then she must have agreed to them and know they are being used. Especially if they are living together it would be very difficult to prove that he was making the purchases instead of her, or that she hadn't given him permission to use the cards.

He applied for them in her name though? She's only aware now, and he's racked them up spending...

she should report him to the police.

my advice would be to mind your own business and get a life, jealousy is a bad thing, you seem to know enough about who has applied for what in who's name that they must be friends of yours or your listening to rumours, if i had friends like you i would no longer need any enemies.

Ah, if she wasn't aware then yes she should report him to the police and also contact the credit cards direct as most of them now have specialised fraud departments.

It looks like the partner needs to come on here for advice in her own right. She will know the ins and outs and needs advice on the consequences of the different options open to her.
