My brother is in his late thirty's and has always ben bailed out with money all his life....there have always been debt collectors knocking on the door and my parents have always bailed him out. Except now it is not funny, our Dad is 70 years old lives on his own, my brother lives the high life with his girlfriend and hasnt lived with Dad for YEARS but keeps giving my dads address ie during stays in hotels and doing a runner, then my Dad has baliffs on his door as he did last night! but is too afraid to give my brothers current address (so protecting him) trouble is guys it is us tax payers who end up paying in the end.
Is there a national type data base I can contact to post my contact details should any one be looking for him to recover debt? then I can give them his current address and protect my Dad?? any ideas?? HELP

Wow, I don't usually condone snitching, I hate snitches. But I understand what you are doing and who you are protecting and your right. I believe the first answerer is correct, contact the credit reporting companies.

You are right, you need to protect your parents.
Some of the others could be right, contact the District Attorney for your area and just give him the proper address for your brother. Your parents need not know that you are "HELPING" them out. It would only cause problems. If you speak with the DA just tell him whats going on and that you would like to keep this information personnel but need help for your parents

Yes. It is time your brother woke up and smelled the urine soaked walls of a jail and not the starbucks.
Give the debt collectors and marshalls or police his address.
Tell your father you are sick and tired of him rolling over and playing doormat for this sicko child man who will spend his entire life as a leech living off other people. The lower than snake sweat jerk needs to be taught that he and he alone is responsible for his actions.
It is time someone in your family did the right thing. Obviously, your father and brother aren't going to; so it is up to you to stand up and step up with the information.
Good luck to you. And remember, you have the world behind you. They have no one behind them. Because they are WRONG.

One answer is to ask the bailiff from which court they are from then contact the court and explain to the clerk exactly what is happening and that you confirm that your broth does not live there and has no permission to use your address for his named home
They are normally very helpful in these cases especially if you explain the stress it is causing your aging father
Your brother doesn't sound worth calling "brother" good luck to you and your father

I believe Dad can post an Legal Ads section of the classifieds in the newspaper saying he's not responsible for debts of Son. But it has to be dad, not you.
Another option is dad to turn over Power of Attorney to you so that you can act in his name in these matters.

Your Father sounds like a good Father that will do anything to help the Son he loves.
If you want to help your brother, get him into some financial management classes.
You may want to talk to your Father about not being a crutch for him.
Other then that, I would not do anything to hurt the relationship you have with your brother, or do anything to destroy the relationship he has with his father.

No. Move your father to a new home and don't tell you brother the address.

You can actually contact the local DA in either your dads area or in his (if they are differnt) and look into filling elder-abuse charges. Or you can possible petion the court for control of your fathers financial's if you feel he is incabable of handling it on his own.

if your father protects him and keeps giving him money the cycle won't end.
the only thing you might want to try to do is call the agencies that want your brother and offer what ever info you have about him to them

It's not your problem. Your dad is making himself the victim. If you 'unleash the hounds' on your brother, then your dad will just end up bailing him out of trouble again. Stay out of it.
