yootalkin2me Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 So, it would appear that although she's paying a paltry £20 per week back, this £20 is more than likely paid from benefits therefore we are effectively paying ourselves back for over £39k that we didn't spend: http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=45371&headline=Benefit of £39k falsely claimed over 10 years&sectionIs=news&searchyear=2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 At that rate it will only take 37 years to clear the debt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without index linking the re-payments and assuming a 2-3% rate which is reasonable, it'll never be re-paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I couldn't give a shit about stuff like this. It's not even one years pension for one half wit. There's far worse fraud going on daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So also blocking desperately needed family housing whiilst also screwing the social. Total freeloading pond life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What puzzled me about this was that there seems to have been a Corpy house (and it seems to be a house rather than a flat) that was unused for so long and the Housing Department seem to have been either unaware or uncaring of the fact. The fact that boiler had been turned off years ago is particularly strange - either they knew it was empty or they were expecting a tenant to live without heat or hot water.

Lots of people are struggling to make ends meet , but they don't defraud their neighbours who pay tax, just to get something for nothing. Lock em up.

The gas would be between Manx Gas and the tenant. Nothing to do with Corpy. Just goes to show what a rent man going round could save. He’d know. Even if not a rent man a housing officer should visit and inspect every house once every three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of social housing units occupied by people other than the tenants, in breach of tenancy terms, the real legal tenant living elsewhere, often in other social housing units. The “sub letting” is often to family members, grown up children, who don’t qualify, aren’t on the housing list, stopping someone with real need from getting housing that is tax payer subsidised.
