It appears that my lovely ex, who I split up with in 2005 omitted to pay the council tax that he assured me he'd paid. Not only that, he put my name on it. I opened a bill for £2k.... that will wipe me out.
He promised me he was going to pay it, do the redirection of mail thing, etc. He obviously did none of this. I organised the other bills, he only had this one to do. B4stard......
However, I've now given them his new address which they didn't have...
Exactly what I'm talking about! You can't trust 'em full stop. If you do, you get bitten. this is the kind of thing that I expect will happen to me one day - something left undone, somewhere, that I didn't realise....!0 -

The mistress loves to gloat about taking the car, which upsets me as he treats it like he treats me a pile of crap. So no doubt the poor thing will fail its next MOT and be scrapped.
caught mine in the nick of time once - in a quiet, multi-storey carpark with my car door open (he still had a key, it had never occured to me to ask for it back as I was still carrying a key to his car). I can only assume, as the girlfriend was with him, that they were looking for evidence of.....something?! or they were going to drive it away. Barstewards, the flippin' lot of 'em!0 -
Got to admit much as losing the car hurt, losing the house terrifies me. I pay the mortgage on my own but he owns half, claims to be too sick to work and is expecting another child. Wouldn't a crystal ball be nice.mortgage free by christmas 2014 owed £5,000, jan 2014 £4,170, £4,060, feb £3,818 march £3,399 30% of the way there woohoo
If you don't think you can go on look back and see how far you've come0 -

What a day, very exhausting.
The little ones have been told, he's gone and I've taken the keys off him.
I've found out some info about things and now I'm scared, I really must fight. We have a hard road to travel but we will get there.
Let me apologise now I will probably get on all your nerves as I use this thread as an outlet for myself.
I've told my mum everything which was not easy.0 -
You vent away DH, I'm sure that there will be a lot of people who have travelled a similar road, and had nobody to support them. We're all here for you... xx0

I agsolutely agree, none of us will think you are getting on our nerves.
Your life as you know has just ended in the most shocking way possible and you probably have a million questions and you feel hurt and humiliated. You SHOULD talk to people otherwise you'll end up depressed from trying to put on a front.
I said he would be off if you confronted him with the truth, no doubt he will try and turn some of this onto you - this is only the start for you all, but a good start in a way because you can live for yourselves and not for him.
How are the kiddies doing?
Why are you scared? Has he threatened you?0 -
DH - yep vent away.
Although you have his keys back, remember he may have another set. Depending on how you feel, it may be worth getting the locks changed just so he can't waltz back in when he feels like it.
Stay strong, we are all rooting for you,0
