Even in a small way?
Ok context. Wor lasses brother moved in with the local slag (she's pretty smart mind) after flirting online for about 2 weeks. This was about 2 years ago. He left his house (lived alone in a council house) and ditched his girlfriend (who lived in Glasgow and saw every 2 or 3 weeks or so. He needed an address to put down for his bank details etc so we agreed he could have ours. And over the 2 years we've had tonnes of letters for him and bailiffs looking for him. He told us about these debts he left:
£600 ex girlfriend (this I think is disgraceful)
£2500 rent / house repairs
£1500 council tax
£200 virginmedia
£1800 benefit fiddling
£1500 payday loans
As she lives as a single parent she gets her rent, council tax paid for and payments for her 3 kids. (possibly 2 as one is 18) He gets paid monthly and blows it all within a week living the life of extravagance. Last weekend he spent £600 on camping equipment and took the 'family' away for a few days. Come back skint and then as usual sends a text around the 8th of the month asking for a sub till payday.
This pisses me right off as we budget very well and sometimes can't just decide to take the kids to a theme park for a few days at the start of the month. He couldn't do this if he paid anything!
Anyway last month a guy come to the door saying he wanted to know where the brother was. It's our principle that we don't grass for anything - although I'm tempted! He said to pass a message on that they're going for an arrest warrant. Wouldn't say who he was but I assumed council tax as they have quite a few powers. I told him and he said he would ring the guy.
I can't understand why they can't find him at work through his NI number. Anyway, at work the boss asked him to drive a transit down to a supplier who wanted rid of some aluminium pumps. The boss wanted to go to have a chat with someone down there. On the way back they were pulled by the police for a random weight check. the vehicle was 18% overladen and the boss got a fine. Wor lasses brother got a fine too as the driver but the boss said he'd pay it as he made him drive. Fair enough.
However, as the police were checking his licence the spotted that his licence had been revoked. Apparently he had a £30 speeding fine which he ignored too when he moved. This fine is now £1000 and his licence is suspended. So on top of that him and his boss were fined again. He was given 6 points for not having proper documents.
Then a letter arrived - an arrest warrant unless £320 was paid immediately. Very odd the police sending a letter out but I guess he's low priority. I refused to pay it and he said he'd get the boss to pay it as he assumed it was to do with the recent incident. But no! He sold a vehicle about 18 months ago and didn't send the V5 to the DVLA. The boss refused to pay it. As I sit here he is hiding in his home hoping he doesn't get arrested on the way to work next week in order to pa it on Friday.
for me this is his just reward and the start of the issues that he thought he got away with.
