  • I've rung the Employee Assistance Prog through work and am awaiting a call back to try to get some legal advice. 
    As for me not making enough of an effort, or being perceived as such, I have been in regular contact with the CMS and they have contacted his employer and got nowhere. 
    I think I am going to ring his employer and see if I can get anywhere.

    Is he on social media?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Not that I can find. He's always been pretty antisocial which has helped in other ways, so I can't complain. 
  • Are you paying full council tax or getting the single person discount? (just a thought)

    Has already said, it is an offence not to update your (his) address with DVLA, any V5 and insurance should also be updated

    good luck
    Now we all know how it felt to play in the band on the Titanic...

  • There is evidence that he moved out a year ago as all the letters from the court are still coming here, addressed to him, with the conditions clearly stated that he cannot come to the property. 

    I had to laugh at the stupidity of that. The court sending him letters to an address, stating that he cannot be at that address.

    Suggestions, look into   -   A notice of disassociation is a request from you to a credit reference agency (CRA) to remove financial associates from your file.  Google how to do this. 

    Electoral register - you should be able to go online to ensure he is marked / registered not to vote at your address.  This will make it difficult for him to use your address for any financial reason.

    Ask a friend to go with you to his work in a vehicle he will not know, buy a cheap wig off the bay and glasses.

    People like your Ex get sloppy and think they are invincible... make a list of any pubs, favourite spots, shops, food places and so on that he visited... he will slip up.  If you see him in a car, get the Reg. probably can trace to a friend or relative. 

    Your 'friend' who may know his address, did he visit them on any time / day, can you get a relative or friend to sit near their house to look for him?

    Make a few lists, leave a pad out to scribble on... you will remember things you have forgotten doing this. 

    Do you have a camera to record who visits you while you are out... not for your safety, but nasty abusers drive past to 'check things out'.  

    wishing you well.

  • Thank you guys. 
    Tbh I am happy enough with the court sending documents here because it gives me info. I imagine that may be why they do it. 

    I will check out the CRA. Good shout. 

    I have taken him off the electoral register and just put on the form that I didn't have his new address. 

    I have applied for single person discount on council tax after a suggestion on here. Didn't realise before and I am still waiting for a reply from them. 

    I do have his new car reg because the V5C came to my home. 

    It isn't practical to go to his work and follow him from there. He works shifts so I would have no idea when to be there. It's about 30 miles away, and there is no parking anywhere around where I could lurk. It's by Heathrow so all no parking zones. 

    He will get what's coming to him, eventually. 
    In the meantime, all I can do is keep sending letters back and informing organisations that he no longer lives here. Something, eventually, will trip him up. 
  • The first thing I thought you would do is disassociate him with your address.

    His employer has admitted he works there to HMRC, so it is guaranteed he receives any mail.

    The CMS tell you all sorts of things and all do not know the rules.

    If you have it in writing from CMS that they cannot collect child maintenance from an employed NRP because they have no fixed abode and can’t use his employer’s address, for contact, fill out form SSCSA and appeal.

    Many NRP’s would say they have no address if it was so simple to avoid paying child maintenance.
  • NRP?
    As for disassociate him from.my address, not sure how.I do that apart from what I have already done, as in return to sender, take his name off all bills, contact any companies, electoral register etc.
