side entry dispute

My neighbour is trying to build a wall in the front garden up to the side entry. He is not allowing me enough space to get my bins out from the back garden to the front. Has said I just need enough space for myself to access the entry and not my bins. Please advise.

Fustrated neighbour

Advice needed !

Hi all,
I have recently been made subject of a disciplinary investigation by my current employer.

without going into detail an issue between myself and a female employee had a falling out after a relationship over 12 months ago she has since left the job and made allegations against me ?

Now the allegation made against me is false and my employer has stated they cannot investigate somebody who has left?
is this true as the alleged victim is still attending the weird place to be interviewed and would need to attend any subsequent disciplinary hearing if it goes that far ?

Incorrect default on credit file

Hi there,
In 2005, HSBC took a charge out on my property for an alleged debt.

I had a dispute regarding the debt, it was going through the Courts, and HSBC eventually offered to settle .

The agreement was made in 2015, and was that HSBC would wipe the alleged debt out, they would remove the charge from my property, and offered me a £15000.00 redress payment.

The above was all confirmed in an order from the Court. I received a letter from HSBC stating that they'd removed the charge from my property, and they made the £15000.00 payment into my bank account.

However, I have discovered that the debt is still showing on my credit file, and not only that, but it is showing as having defaulted in 2015.

Please could anyone advise me as to how I can get this removed from my credit file, and if I can claim a redress payment as this has greatly affected my credit rating, and effectively stopped me doing things I wanted to do with my life.

Many thanks.

Pot hole damage caused by British Gas

I suffered two near side punctures after hitting an exposed gas manhole cover because British Gas had not repaired the road patch around the steel cover properly. According to the local Highways Authority the gas company was to blame. Can you advise on what action I can take to reclaim my repair costs?

Can I leave my car at local dealership?

Hi,
I've been trying to get Audi Finance to process my VT since 21.08.2020, told it would take a total of 4 weeks, theyve been sat on my case and not processed it until I called about 2 weeks ago, I'm having to call them every other day to chase and escalate, it's reduced me to tears at the lack of help I'm getting from them.

My insurance will end 01.09.2020 and I refuse to have to pay admin fees and daily insurance at which Audi finance has said they will not refund me even though they admitted my emails been sat in someone's mailbox and was not actioned.

After all this torture I'm just at my wits end and dont want the car anywhere near me, am I allowed to leave it at Audi where I bought it from so they can just pick it up from there or would I still have to pay insurance even if I do that? I haven't even written my numerous phone calls and 2 call back from managers which is promised 48 hours...still waiting..

thank you

Jacobs removal team

Received a text stating that an enforcement agent came to my house and I refused to pay, so they were starting removal action and has to phone them immediately to pay and stop proceedings. NO ONE came to my house as I’ve been home all day, as we’re in isolation bc my son had to have a covid test the previous day. What are my options and can I complain about the blatant lie about my refusal to pay something I have disputed in the past with the original company. It was for parking that I paid for and sent the council copies of the meter tickets, yet no one replied, so assume it had been wiped clear.

Car deposit

Please advise if I’m entitled to my deposit back if I paid over the phone ? I’m due to visit the dealership tomorrow
thankyou

Advise on conflict of interest with solicitors

Hi everyone,
I have recently purchased a property (first time buyer), my solicitor who was recommended by the estate agents was AWFUL to which I have taken to the ombudsman. My big question is, I have searched LinkedIn and found out the solicitor I used have the same managing director and several employees as the solicitor that was used by the person I purchased the property off.
Is this a conflict of interest??
I have had many issue with my own and the vendors solicitor about the same issue to which I have tried to complain to which is how I found out he has both companies.
I have been advised to go to the sra but not really sure what this comes under?
please anyone can you help.

VT moneyway

Hello, I know this has probably been done to death so apologies in advance.

I recently terminated my finance with moneyway and they collected the car, the person collecting did not give me an invoice or anything to sign. Just took the car and said he’d signed on my behalf.

money marked my account as closed on the 2/09 according to credit karma. However, they have now put a default on my credit file for three missed payments. When contacted on Friday they said there was an outstanding invoice to pay!

I informed them this was the first I had heard of it and asked them to email me the invoice. Called again today as still no invoice (they have to check internally if they are allowed to email it?) and asked for the details of the invoice.

there is a charge for damage to the wing, a large scratch on the other wing (there when I bought it and reflected in price), missing locking wheel nut (I told the man collecting where it was in the car!!) and £170 for a missing service history (came without one and I never had it serviced in the three years I had it).

I’m aware I can claim scratches etc as wear and tear but what do I do about the service history? There is nothing in the terms and conditions given to me on purchase, it just says car should be returned with registration, tax disc and mot if asked for. No mention at all of service history.

Does anyone know where I stand with fighting this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Unregistered People Living Next Door

Can I please ask for some advice regarding my neighbour next door.

It started off last year.

Her daughter and son in law moved in back in November last year.

We've had nothing but problems since.

We've experienced problems with parking, noise, banging on the party wall at all times of the day and night (that appears to have now stopped), selling stuff from the property, and the main gripe is we can smell cannabis being smoked regularly.

I approached the Council Tax department, and was told that she had not declared that they had moved in with her and they would send a letter out to her.

I don't know the outcome of this as the Council won't tell me even though I'm the complainant.

The other thing is she has also failed to inform Electrol register as well.

Recently we were all sent our yearly Electrol forms, the neighbour filled her's in falsely, claimed she was still living alone.

I informed Electrol services recently, they sent her another form end of last week, so far the neighbour has failed to return the forms back.

Both my husband and I are very alarmed as to why our neighbour appears to not want her daughter and son in law registered at her address.

We understand the son in law is an American national, we are concerned he might be here illegally and might not have a valid full visa, this could be 1 reason why they are not registered as living there.

We are at a loss what to do about the situation, they have been living here for 10 months unregistered, and have caused nothing but trouble.

Until they appeared on the scene, we had a good relationship with our neighbour, but since they have arrived she stopped speaking to us.

Because the Council seem to want to do very little about the situation, and the fact remains they are unregistered at this address, any advice please?

Thank you.



Redundancy & Loan

Good afternoon,

I'm in the final stages of being made redundant (not voluntarily). I had a loan with the company and my employer is now looking to recoup this loan by way of a deduction from my redundancy - is this acceptable, and more importantly legal?

I don't dispute the loan but it will be hard for me to survive if my small redundancy package is reduced by this deduction. I don't have an official loan agreement, just a simple letter. The only clause referring to repayment in full is this:

QUOTE " Should you leave the employment of the company at any time then the outstanding balance at that time would need to be immediately settled."

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Mike
