My mum was caught twice fiddling the system and they didn't do anything about it then either
-
I was having a random chat with a chap in A&E last year. (both our sons had damaged themselves in various ways and were sat in paediatrics on respective games consoles.
He was in accountancy and more specifically company receivership and administration. He said the chances of a conviction for doing devious things during or preceding administration was absolutely zero. HMRC have not got the resources to follow up and as a result were only going for the stuff involving over a million. So getting HMRC to worry about some bloke who is on benefit is the wrong end of the scales. Just have to face the facts that if you really have nothing to lose or don't care then there is nothing they can do.

09/10 costs: £109.68m
09/10 amt recovered: However the total recovered across all categories of outstanding debt for 2009/2010 was
£294.3m. These include recoveries by the Department of both DWP and Local Authority
administered benefits.
The number of investigations into benefit fraud opened by the Fraud Investigation Service in
the last financial year (2009/10) was 175,508. 135,115 cases were closed during that year.
Please note that the number of closed cases may not necessarily relate to the same year in
which they were opened and therefore cannot be directly compared with the number of cases
opened.

He's also a benefit fraudster.
In both cases they have taken zero action - they can't be bothered with the real crooks.

How come we get accused of being on par with child molesters for using a PSC when there is god knows how many people fiddling hector when it comes to off the books rent!
If its a room you don't need to use the scheme if its the flat pay the deposit wait until your about to leave and then make a formal complaint for not being in the scheme. Its a 3x fine from the court.
