Official address
Discussion
Hello PH massive,
So, I am separating from my wife. I am looking (in the short term) to move to a rented room/be a lodger.....
What do I do with all the official stuff I have that needs an address? Driving licence, banks, credit cards, car insurance, work etc etc? I don't really want to change everything to a rented room where I might only be for a month or two before moving on....
I had considered using my parents' address, but that is 300 miles away, and as I can claim mileage to/from work from my home address my work might not be impressed
What do others do? Random thought: what do people do who live on boats on canals?
Thanks.

So long as they're happy to keep forwarding stuff on, go with that. Online statements instead of paper for financial stuff helps a lot. Car insurance need to know where the car's really going to be overnight, though.I had considered using my parents' address, but that is 300 miles away

I think they might also query whether you were REALLY doing a 600 mile commute every day...JumboBeef said:

Friends of ours use his sister's place, a long way from where they may happen to actually be.Fried who has a narrow boat does the following;
all hi mail is redirected from his last fixed abode address to a mail handler (independent address)
mail handler opens all post, scans in first page of any doc and emails it to him.
he then decides whether he needs to action anything & can get mail forwarded to a PO box
at least I think thats what he told me !

Thanks for the replies, and sorry for the slow reply.
What would happen if I officially lived in one place, but spend most my time in another....? Would that "another place" have to declare I am there? They are currently getting single persons council tax because they are there by themselves (no other reduction/benefits are claimed by them).

Get them to declare that you are there and pay the difference if you are genuinely living there.What would happen if I officially lived in one place, but spend most my time in another....?
