Post Addresses if you're full time.

[Dave46049]

What do people use for contact address if they are full-time - do you get any complications ( banking etc )?

I know some folks have a home they keep / rent out or have relatives - but is there anyway of being truely "homeless" with a Motorhome!

Thanks

Not without complications.

Much better to persuade a family member to help you out!!

Have a look at www.boatmail.co.uk

We used our daughters for 6 months when we full-timed, if that hadn’t been an option we’d have used www.boatmail.co.uk as mentioned by bigtwin.

You also need to check your MH insurance if you don't have a home address as that could mean you end up with your existing policy being void and having to pay 'genuine' full time insurance which is expensive.

In short, no, you can not be homeless AND have any form of responsibility, such as owning a motorhome.

If you want to disappear off the grid and become homeless, get rid of all your possessions, bank cards, doctor, dentist and voting rights
If however you wish to at some point return or indeed keep a vehicle, a doctor a dentist and the right to vote or buy stuff
Then you need an address.

The simplest address is a friend or relative.
To make it 'official' you simply get an AST from WH Smiths (Assured Shorthold Tenancy document) and rent their garden shed or garage for £1 a month.
You can then register to vote, get a doctor, get on the local housing list, get a dentist, (even if you never intend on using any of them) have the bank send you statements and insure and tax your motorhome.

It means you 'exist'

One of my sisters was largely 'off grid' for many years.
She then died. (Leaving debts all over the place, which only slowly came to light over the next 2-3 years)
That was 2017.
I'm still trying to sort out the mess today, 7 years later, with no end of the 'administrate period' in sight as so little proof of her existence.
There is money, that she did not know she had (as no address) that I'm still finding (last lot, over £5k, in December) and I have trouble on obtaining as I can't prove anything.

I see someone has obviously been reading this thread nearly a year later.

An update on the post above is:
I'm still trying to obtain the £5k we 'found'.
They admit it's ours (The Executors), all we have to do is prove it.
And therein lies the rub.

It's simple all you need is:

A utility bill. No. None.
How about a mobile phone bill. Nope.
A registered doctor, surely everyone has one of those. Not my sister.
A Bank ?
Proof of employment ?

DSS records ? - No, none.
Property ownership - No she owned no property
OK, a Rental agreement ? No, never rented in her name.
Credit Rating ? Voting card ? Bus pass? Trade Union membership?

They would even accept a Library card, if she had one.
Or Gym membership, had she been a member.

Even her death certificate is not in English as she died abroad with a foreign address.

At the moment we are in stalemate.
They have something which they need to give to the owners.
They accept we are the owners (on the basis there is no one else and our names match)

But there is zero proof.
As the only address they have for my sister was the family home, which was sold a quarter of a century ago.
(And it's a property they are unable to find as location names have changed since)
