yes thank you everyone for your help as it will affect my grandmother so i will just stay out of it all thanks

yes i do understand what your saying about being a nosey parker but i have not given the full story . its not a happy relationship she wants him out the house she pays for every thing and the social services are now involved due to his neglect . she does not pay council tax as exempt but he told her not to say he lives there .

yea she does get the council tax free. i just better wait for karma to catch up with him thanks all

i have a question i know someone who has never paid council tax he lives with his grandmother last 20 years rent free food free everything free he does not work and he has no respect for her. she is 89 . i would like to tell the council but i know he will just get her to paid it !! she has dementia, and does not no what she is doing. would the council hold him accountable for the recovery or his poor grandmother ?

yes it was a bad patch i was going through at the time . and now i have a criminal record for a silly item worth £12 and as for jobs , who wants a thief working for them ......

hi i am new to this site and have a question 3 years ago i was caught for shoplifting and went to court i was fined £35 and given a condition discharge , i had been caught before that and given a £80 fine as it was my first offence. my question is i have been told that if someone is caught again after a year has passed they would just get a fine and would never go to court is this true ? thanks
