PLEASE HELP

I NEED YOUR ADVICE

I'm very upset right now. It has recently come to my attention that my neighbor is frauding the governement. I live in low income housing and I know that she is not claiming all the people that live with her nor is she clamining her income. She has 7 people living with her and I know that she is paying less rent then I am. To me this is not fair. She has 3 vehicles. My understanding about low income housing is that you must be need of this housing. Well it my opinion that this family is no where in need. I want to report this but worry about how to do it. I worry about the outcome but feel strongly that this family should not getting a free ride from our government. I have struggled with my income and have to jump though the hoops to be able to get the disablity income support program.

If anyone has advice please let me know.

    i think it is a difficult decision, standing up for your beliefs....vs turning a blind eye and walking the road of less conflict. there are a ton of calfs sucking off the governmental teet....

    compassionately, im glad the assistance is there for those who need it. even if it is abused by other folks.

    follow your heart. it is difficult to struggle and see others take advantage of the system. The choice is yours.

    I agree with every one that has commented. I am behind you 100%. I feel that she is ripping off the government and that is totally not right. She needs to be reported. Taking advantage of the system ruins it for those who truly need it. I think you should tell; I know if I was in your situation I would. She has no right to do this and get away with it. I love you Sweetie.

    i think karma or what ever will eventually sort things out, the situation could be more complicated than it looks, and im sure if you report things, you will be stressed about what would happen if they found out who reported it. you know what some people are like. difficult situation really.

  16. inpainincanada

    sorry hun, its a dificult call - after all, you dont know for sure, and it could backfire on you. If there is anyway to report it without your name getting mentioned, that might work best. Hugs

  17. milkywayexpress

    The reason people get away with this is because no reports them. You can make an annoymous report, have all the facts you know about them and only give what you know to to be true. One other thing is that this against the law and we as Citizens have to be watch dogs for people who rip off our government.

    i believe i would do that which forms part of my duty and that which falls under my responsibility... u r not responsible for what your neighbour does... and as long as what she does doesn't affect u... there is no responsibility on your part to do anything about that... in this case however, u seem to be affected by what your neighbour is doing... u can therefore follow a path so that this situation my no longer affect u... but in doing so... it can be worthwhile examining your motives... could u be wanting to follow a path out of jealousy... for what u may not be able to be doing?... u would know better... but whatever may be the case... u may want to follow what your heart tells u... and what u feel may be morally right... keeping in view any consequences that may result from the path that u follow... hoping this helps... pls take care... and good luck... cheers... afzal...

    I think you should report them, I am assuming is a confidential call, I mean your neighbor won't know you've called right? I would be pissed to with someone getting a free ride while I struggle, but I wouldn't put myself at risk either. Maybe you can make an anonymous call, that would be perfect I think

    Looks like you have received tons of advice.
    1st Pray for God to show you what to do.
    2nd I do agree we reap what we sow if you do nothing things may happen without you.
    3rd if you feel strongly about turning them in be very careful to make it anonymous people can be very cruel and I wouldn't want any thing bad to happen to you.
    4th I would weigh the pros and cons for instance are there children involved? Are they good or bad neighbors? If they end up moving you could get worse or better neighbors, It's a crap shoot.
    God Bless You.

    Hi,
    Okay it urks me to no end people getting away with freebies. I have to wait 6 mos for my first SSDI check and I paid 22 yrs into that system and just lost my house. But listen you should pray for peace in your heart and ignore them. I worry if it came out who reported them what havoc they would cause you and the girls. Bad people get theirs in the end when they have to report to a higher source.
    (Hugs)Mary

  22. moon2star

    moon2star

  23. peped2k

    peped2k

  24. shy39

    Hey there D, personaly if I were in your boat I'd place a anonamous phone call to the houseing board describeing exactualy what you just described in your journal. The system is there for those who need it not for those who want to abuse it & treat it like a joke, that's my opinon....


    shy39

  25. andyme

    Most definately 110% report them....too many people work hard and pay all their taxes and never make the most of any benefits available...others simply suck on the state like leeches.....report them, no worries...In the UK this can be done anonomously.


    andyme

  26. tygeress1968

    I believe you can report them anonomously..If you feel strongly about it then I would report them.
    Good luck my friend.
    ((Hugs)) Rae

  27. AnxietyRidden

    If you want to justify your reason for reporting them then think about the people that have been put on a waiting list for housing. They are having to wait while someone is living it up. Do us all a favor..report them greedy bastards.


    AnxietyRidden

  28. crazymomm

    I say report them. They could be taking a warm place to sleep and a safe place at night away from children that are in need.

  29. cjsaunt

    Hey, I can read how much this bothers you, and it doesn't seem fair. However, it is a sticky situation cause you do want to stand up and say something, but then will that cause conflict and stress for you after you report them. Choose what you think is best,a decision that you can be happy with yourself. Just be careful and try to think of the different possible outcomes to help you decide what you can handle and deal with if you do or do not report them. Hope everything works out, keep me posted.


    cjsaunt

  30. hopeful511

    yes, i would report them. An annonymous phone call should do it. Don't get to worked up about this situation either.

    I believe those who take advantage of the system ruin it for others. The more they take the less there is to give to those who really need it. I could go into a bad story of a girlfriend on Comm. Heath and Leap (pays the heating for low income) and drives a new 31,000 Durango 07. I havn't said anything but a friend told me they are curious after she drove up in it so sure she will be checked out. Some people just don's know when to quit when they are ahead. You can call Social Services anonymousy. You won't be doing anything wrong she is.

  36. marshav

    its a hard thing to prove cause she will just lie, say visitors, just thank god for your self that you have aroof over your head, and that, some people to defraud the system, but if you do report them, and they know, dont want you to get hurt becareful stay safe sorry hvent been on much, mt boyfriend has pneomonia over 3 wks now, and not much is helping talk to very soon....
