My ex was fully aware I applied for the catalogue account and fine with it.

You've still committed fraud by applying in his name. You're trying your hardest to prove he doesn't live at your address but you lied about him living at the address to fraudulently obtain credit. And you've admitted to HMRC about this fraud to try and prove he doesn't live there! Not that they will care directly about the fraud but it doesn't look good for your character. What a tangled web!

If he is so unwilling to help, than maybe you could stop helping with the car too? Is it a motability car?

I can't abide people who think it's ok to use children as pawns in marital disputes.

OP please don't take the advice I've quoted.

It sounds like the DWP don't believe that the guy doesn't live there though.

I appreciate that it is fraud but I was made redundant out of the blue when the company I worked for unexpectedly closed 200+ stores in the UK last year, I had just bought my house the previous year and quickly went through the small amount of savings I had waiting for income support to be sorted out, my daughter was too big for her toddler bed and I simply could not afford to buy a new one, I don't have a big family to help me out I'm mostly on my own.

Can anyone give an opinion on if the evidence I have provided will be enough, I've been as honest as I can with them and sent them my car insurance with him on it.

I know no one can predict it but I'm just so worried as I know this will mean I lose my house, I even asked on the phone if they could send someone to my house to see its just me, I even have a single bed! But they said they don't do that.

Newwashingmacine it's hmrc not the Dwp investigating it.

Re school info he is on there as an emergency contact but it's only a phone number

If you have children, what information does the school hold for emergency contact, etc?

One of the first stops in this sort of enquiry is checking with schools to see what names and addresses are given for emergency contacts. If the school still lists your husband as a contact at your address, that will certainly work against you.

He may have parental responsibility and be registered as a contact with the school. This shouldn't work against the OP.

edit: as just confirmed by the OP...thanks I'm a slow typist...

Why on earth would you lose your house?

If he doesn't live there then tell them they are wrong. You don't need proof to defend that claim...they are the ones that need proof to prosecute you. He doesn't live there so they have no proof. Picking the kids up does not indicate that he lives there...even if he were to come in and have a chat over a coffee. They would need evidence that he stays overnight and that his life is at your house...i.e all his possessions. As none of that is there you have no problem. Just tell them to reinstate your claim as a single claim and move on.

Many couples have bills in one persons name. I couldn't honestly say how they will view it. There is a lot of negatives going against you.

Can you provide them his car number plate so they can trace his registered address?

any solicitor records regarding your separation

What about social media posts - ie him on holiday with new girlfriend 6 months ago or whatever.

Hospital records sent to him as PR. Your last hospital consultation that shows you as a single parent if you have one.

His mobile phone contract to another address.

It would if he was shown as still being at the same address as his wife. But the OP has stated her school doesn't keep such details for the father, unlike my kid's school which has full contact details for both parents.

I will lose my house because it is mortgaged and I use most of what I get from tax credits to pay that every month, if they suspend or stop them altogether it will get repossessed as I couldn't pay without them.

He doesn't have a car.

He lost his driving licence and is sending for a new one, supposedly.

He is getting me a bank letter with his grans address on and that is all I have.
