    You do realise you asked an almost question a year ago

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5613219/voters-roll-big-problem

    Hoping for different answers this time?
  • The defaults won't help - neither will the £11k on your DMP = that's £11k less credit you're likely to get.

    Why not just get a run-around car to get you to and from work?

    Or a bike? Moped?

    As an aside, if you do have a car just now, I hope for your sake it's not insured at your mums address.

    Only a dead end because it ends your little scam.....and you're not prepared to do that.

    The facts as you call them are on your other threads.....not the first time such an accusation has been made against you.

    Your Mum needs to be very careful. She shouldn’t be claiming housing benefit for a house that you own (or any close family member).

    Why not register for CT where you currently reside the most, if thats where your mum lives then just suck it up and pay the extra money if need be.

    Why are you renting your house to your mother for £350 a month if the mortgage is £600?

    Why are you subsidising her when you are in debt and struggling?
