My advice would be to get your name off all the bills as if he doesn't pay them it will ruin your credit history and what with the difficulties occuring in the market now this could make your life so much harder in the future.

I agree with the other post about what they say about making yourself homesless too, you need to check this out and not make it more difficult, however if he is being violent, you gotta get out.

Good luck and keep us posted.x

When I walked out on my ex hubby, I contacted all the various companies and departments and told them that I was moving and where to. Tenancy and council tax were in both names, went in and signed my name off them.

Once you have contacted them all and have gone, that is his problem if he does not keep up repayments. He will be the one that gets evicted and utilities turned off, not you.

i dont think  that you have to put the bills in his name?

just get readings etc and phone all the relevant companies and tell them ur leaving that address and give them a forwarding address to send the final bills to

good luck

Speak to your local council BEFORE you leave your home....

If you walk out willingly DONT expect the local council/HA to house you.... in their eyes you are making yourself homeless and they won't be interested. 

thankyou for all ur replies, im a big worrier as it is so this is gona b soo hard, iknow he will not pay bills etc even if i put them in his name as he never dealt with them and is absoulotly s*** with money burns a hole in his pocket thers no way he will 200%. i kno this shouldnt b my worry but im soooo scared

I agree with the other ladies, hes just trying to be nasty but he cant do anything apart from refuse to move which is horrible but as long as you can go to your parents you will  be fine. Phone every company that your name is on the bill for and explain the situation. I had this about 5 yrs ago with an ex and i called the letting agency/council tax/water/gas and elec/phone etc and they all took my name off straight away. You have to explain the situation if only slightly so that if you cancel any standing orders they have your exs name to address all the new forms and bills too and dont think you are doing a runner so to speak.

Hope everything goes ok for you

id just like to add you dont need his permission to be taken off the rent book x

hiya i also would ring the landlord and council etc, phone the companys up and explain to them that you've moved out and see if you can put ur fella's name down instead of yours. i'd go to CAB they can offer you a lot of advice and guide you from there.i hope you can go to your parents or a friends house sounds as tho you defo doing the right thing.

i hope things work out for you sorry if am no help but couldnt read and run good luck x

thankyou pink im planning on goin to a friends for a few nites till i can face te parents with all this. i just hope i have the balls to actually go tom when im all calm and have slept on it deep down i know its the rite choice xx

Do you have anywhere else to go?  Hope so.  With the council tax, phone the council tomorrow and tell them you are moving out and do the same with the landlord- do you need to give notice on the tenancy?  Regardless of this, they can't force money out of you that you don't have and so long as you make some payment offer to both the landlord and council, that should be ok.  Not sure what other advice to offer.

Good luck with it all.
