  • So who owns the property that is rent free? His uncle?

    Nope an inlaw.

    Gosh, he is efficient when he means to... within a week he has managed to sell all the stock that he couldn't shift sooner, managed to get the cash for them, go to the bank and give it to his uncle. Amazing.

    He also managed to get back on JSA whilst tax credits were cancelled, even though he was only at the stage of having to provide information.

    And he has a family member prepared to have him live rent free in their property, but somehow not prepared to lend him £100 so that he could get a job which could mean he could start paying rent.... your story is so full of holes, it is starting to become nothing but entertaining!

    Troll ? ?
  • Of course he's a troll - that was obvious days ago! This thread is quite funny, although surely the OP doesn't think that we are naive enough to take him/her seriously?

    I vaguely recall another thread with a similar scenario...JSA claimant living in extremely remote area, no access to transport, no shops nearby, no money to get a suit to attend possible interviews etc etc...:think:

    That person had every excuse under the sun to counter any reasonable suggestion to improve their chances of securing employment.

    Rather like this OP'er .....

    so its difficult to get stock, and once he gets some he holds onto it so he can sell it later....
    doesn't sound like a business to me.
    it isn't even a hobby, its just something to keep him occupied when he's bored.
    for tax credits, he has to 'work' with the expectation of being paid. this doesn't seem the case.
    he wants tax credits instead of earning, and that isn't what they're intended for

    I don't know why the OP is getting off lying like this and wasting people's time. It's not even funny.

    I never understand why people who post feel their time has been wasted. Surely if they had something better to do they would be doing it rather than trawling through other peoples trials and tribulations.

    Nope an inlaw.

    Inlaw? So he's married then? What does his wife do?
