Robert 'Crab Bait' White consents to losing his houses

[Well played, Awake Borough Council.

I think all the cool kids are using the word “woke” rather than “awake”

Goddamn it, autocorrect. I'm shutting that damned thing off right now.

[notorial dissent]

That's gotta sting. The council called his Fisher-Price Play Court what it is. And, if hes going to claim hes not Robert White, they're going to act like he's not Robert White. Well played, Awake Borough Council.

Our little Quail has NEVER EVER been one of the "cool kids" and NEVER EVER will be. He is a convicted drunk driver, a serial possibly compulsive liar, a tax cheat, and a generally all around nasty individual.

If he was really cunning he’d simply buy a car registered outside the EU, say Sweden, and bring it back to the U.K.

Offtopic: Yesterday, I saw a car with a license plate frame that said "Warning: Swedish driver." I had no idea how I should adjust my driving habits. My best guess is that the car was from Ikea and likely to be missing pieces. Or, that the sound system might play Abba and Ace of Bass at embarrassing decibel levels (anything above zero). Is there some Swedish driver stereotype I'm not aware of?

Probably the same issue my wife had on or recent trip. Driving on the left rather than the right and getting used to traffic circles. She never quite got the hang of that resulting in a lot of honking at us.

He/she probably drives at 50mph on snow while swerving past Elks.

Similar issue here in Canada. My wife hit a bear a few years back and deer and moose collisions are not uncommon.

Pound (lb) for pound (£) I nominate the humble pheasant as roadkill to avoid. It's like hitting a flying brick. I lost a front grill, bumper and headlight hitting one of those feathery little bastards and it didn't even kill it. The fucker flew off before I had a chance to put it on the menu.

I see on Crabby's Council Tax fb page that Swale Council finally got bored with his idiocy and obtained an Interim Charging Order on his property, not going to be much left once NatWest, the Official Receiver and Sale have taken their chunk !!

Probably figured they'd better get their claim in before someone else beats them to it.

Crabbie still seems to believe he's not bankrupt.

[aesmith]

I don't quite read it that way. Crabbie seems to have managed to keep the various parties in the dark about he whole picture, for example his local authority seems not to be aware that he's bankrupt or surely they wouldn't have bothered with a charging order. So I think what he means is that the LA trying to make him bankrupt would achieve nothing except provide him a bit of amusement.

[longdog]

Wouldn't it be a shame is somebody tipped the council off?

I suspect the council will soon find out he's bankrupt if they apply for a charge over the property. The Land Registry will tell them.

I suppose in a way he's right to be cocky on this occasion as there's nothing much they can do to him. The fact he's had to flush his entire life down the drain to reach this level of invincibility is but a minor point.

Is that true? My understanding is that if you are in council tax arrears you declare that to the receiver, it is added to your debts and the council cannot collect any more from you during that financial year. Where it could go horribly wrong for him is that if he hasn't done this, the council can come for the full amount against his wife as she will be jointly liable.

Methinks our little Quail is living on the river these days, and it is called DeNile.

I bet a charging order for Council Tax gets them higher up the queue for any money.

I would have thought it would be the mortgage lender as highest priority, and first come first served after that. From his posts the IP put a restriction on the house last July, then the bank started possession proceedings in May with possession now granted. Seems to me that the council would be a bit late to the party.

Edit - got my dates wrong, looks like the Council got their charging order in May 2018.

If they join the Trustee in Bankruptcy (ie the Trustee is informed of the debt) then the Trustee will keep liquidating assets unti either their's nothing left or all debts are paid.

Looks like the bank are starting to move on the possession of his house ..

He says "I'm still waiting for the possession order which is well overdue now". Maybe he's forgotten that he actually posted up the possession order on 20th August ..
