My other half's ex-bf is a complete and utter c*nt.

They bought a place together during the boom but then when they split did a disappearing act, refusing to pay his half of the mortgage. Inevitably this is now going to lead to a repossession (the property is in serious negative equity anyway) but he (despite knowing this) has gone off the radar.

The bank, predictably enough, sympathise, but refuse to enter into any agreements without both parties present and are sending all correspondence and auguries of doom to my other half. She's done everything she can in terms of providing addreses, documentation and so on and that's as far as it can be taken.

Now, to add salt into the wound, a bailiff appeared at her parents house the other day as somehow he managed to take out a big personal loan in his name at their address (where he has never, ever lived). The baliff understood the situation and apparently he's pulling the same trick on his own parents too (yes, he's that much of a prick).

Now, as I see it that's criminal fraud but I'm unsure how to report it as I can't see the local plod doing much about it. Is there another recourse to action here besides reporting it like a civil prosecution? Another aspect of this is now he's seriously taking the piss I'm hoping the police/bank will make more of an effort to track the cowardly c*nt down and make him live up to his responsibilities.

Any advice much appreciated. My other half is 6 months pregnant and doesn't need this sh*t and it's so frustrating not being able to (quite literally) get hold of the f*cking c*nt.
