He is dead. He won't care.

When Sprout* died you lied to his mother about that car. You told her you had made some payments towards buying it but you never made any payments and you know it. You are a fucking liar. That was one of the reasons I divorced you. You scammed your best friends mother in the face of his death. So you got the car. Are you fucking happy now? No.

You then tried to sucker some poor lady at work to notorize the title. I am glad she didn’t do it. She could have gotten in serious trouble if was discovered later that she notorized a title for a dead person.

But you did not stop there. When I spoke with you yesterday about how things were going you said they were all fine but you no longer had cable. When I asked why you told me they had shut it off but “It was no big deal as the bill was still in Sprouts name”.

You are a fucking asshole. So far it has been only the cable. I am sure it will be the electric or gas next. You are just going to let the bills build up until they are shut off. Hey why not? they are in dead guys name. You did the same thing to me when I left you. I didn’t take the bills out of my name because I trusted you to pay them. I was stupid for not changing them and I was stupid for trusting you.

The poor man was ill for many years. He had open heart surgery at 30 and stroke at 35. He was taken away from us way to early at the ripe old age of 43. He was like an uncle to my kids when they were younger. We cared about him.

You claimed over and over again that Sprout was your ‘best friend’ to the point were everyone who ever knew you was sick of hearing it but you have no problem using his death as excuse to benefit yourself.

You are fucking scum and I hate you.

I am going to try and locate his mother so I can tell her that you are racking up these bills. Maybe then she will see you for what you really are. A fucking scum bag.

I wish I was more imaginative with my words so I could come up with some interesting titles for you. Jive Turkey is just way to subdued.

I’d be inclined to conact the utilities and the like if this is happening, its probably some sort of fraud too so the police might be interested.

Yeesh. I hate people that use other people dead or alive like that. I know how you feel. When my grandma died and my sister was dying my BIL kept her social security checks. I’m not sure how that turned out, since at the time I was in Colorado for training, but apparently he didn’t go to jail for it.

My cousin, on disability had his own sister steal his checkbook and write herself a fat check. He didn’t press charges when he found out, but since that day I’ve let it known that his sister isn’t welcome in my presence. I hear she’s sick now, but I have a hard time mustering sympathy. (She actually tried to rob me once and got caught. My mother had to talk me out of strangling her on the spot.)

That sucks. I think that casdave may have a point - if you have an obituary, which lists Sprout’s last residence, you might be able to convince them that they’d do well to investigate whether they’re supplying services to a dead man. And if you ex lies to them about Sprout’s continued health and living status, then he may set himself up for fraud charges. (IANAL, just guessing there.)

On a very morbid level, have I just upgraded my seat on the bus to Hell from coach to first class by wondering if your ex will keep Sprout’s voter registration active, too?

I doubt Sprout was a voter and I know that my ex is not a voter. Even if he was I doubt he would think that using Sprouts voting registration would personally benefit him.

It just sickens me that he has kept the bills in Sprouts name and the fact that he is letting them continue to build and go unpaid. He died in June so this didn’t just happen last week.

This reminds me of when my flatmate was killed in a motorcycle accident. He had the lease on the house we lived in and was responsible for the rent. I was quite poor and often a little behind in payments. He went away for Christmas and I gave him the rent I owed him in cash instead of direct to his bank account.

Shortly after Christmas I heard that he’d been killed.

When his family arrived to sort out his affairs, they only had record of the rent I’d paid direct to his account, not the cash. They then asked for the rent I “owed”, I told them I’d paid, they didn’t believe me.

I hadn’t acted like the subject of your OP, but I sure felt like I had, and they thought I had :(.

I hope your dude gets what he deserves!
