So this is the biggest dick move I have ever heard of. I’m going to keep this short, for easier reading; names have been replaced for safety and such.
My cousin, Colin, has been working for his father for 3 years. His father owns a pet shop and Colin has been working there full time.He has not been paid wages because his father, Jacob, is a dick basically. Jacob considers that because Drew is living with him, and such, he does not need to pay him any wages. Nothing, no super, no money. On a side part Jacob has recently married Sarah and they have a 3 month old baby. While Colin has been living with them, they have been treating him as a live-in babysitter. Colin is sick of this, as he has even waking up in the early morning (3am) to look after the child and hence, has recently applied to join the Army, Jacob is annoyed as he is about to lose his essentially volunteer employee and sitter, neither of which he is paying for. This past week, there has been a new problem caused by Jacob. In the past years, Jacob made an account in Colin’s name, which Colin didn’t know about; as a tax evasion; while this is all well and good because the account is in Colin’s name, he has now been hit with a tax payment for all the interest Jacob has been earning off that money. The amount Colin has to pay is $40,000 so forty thousand dollars, equivalent to holidays, or 2 low priced cars.
Now you may think if this was a regular story, Jacob would pay the money but no, even though Colin had no idea about the account, Jacob is refusing to pay the fine saying Colin must pay it. Keeping in mind that Colin has not been paid for 3 years by this same man, and has no money, so he is going to have a $40,000 loan, to which he can pay barely anything.
This is a true story, happening to my cousin at this very moment.
Any lawyers out there, might tell me is there an offence being committed here?
Otherwise, how much of a dick move is this and what do you think Colin should do?
I posted the same thing on tumblr but yeh dickhead.

i dont think people are allowed to create things in people's name without their permission. i mean, thats like fraud or something.
depends whether he was a minor at the time the account was created. and if so, Colin cannot prove he didn't know about it.
ok anyway, the things that got me
Jacob is colin's father right? and Jacob is making his son (who seems to be a minor at that time) pay for it. Somehow, this is so strange for me. what type of father does this? i mean a son has to honour his famiry but his father doesnt seem very honourable..
And secondly, why does Sarah agree to this.
And thirdly, who is Drew? What happens to Drew? Is Drew Colin's split personality. And the fact is that Jacob doesnt acknowledge Colin because he only sees Drew and cannot come to his senses and realise that Drew doenst exist and he is infact Colin?
There is DEFINITELY something illegal going on there. I don't know what law exactly is being broken, but your cousin has a very strong case.
I would seriously consider suggesting legal help for your cousin Hogg. That shit just doesn't fly with any decent human being.
that's... whew, the first part with just the whole unpaid forced labour is too much.
but then the making an account in his name and using it to dodge taxes then demanding that he pay the $40,000 that comes out of it?
And this is his father's doing?
Seriously this should be taken to court. It's unacceptable etc.
yeh, lawyer up colin. he'll win.
but the unpaid shit happens all the time, so the best you could do is make jacob pay the tax stuff, and then youd have to pay for the lawyer anyway.
best off just killing jacob and getting that inheritance money.
I understand the father would wanna be saving money....but to do it by using your own son and then claiming he has to pay it with money he doesn't have..... the fuck?!
Its the fathers fault, HE has to pay off the 40 grand, and fuck sarah cause she was just watching everything happen the whole time.
And also drew should become his own self, instead of just a split person.
