Hi people. Long time no see. I'm in the process of helping a couple of friends of mine with a problem and need some up to date advice These two friends run a small time curtain making making business. Very small scale. They did some work for an interior designer last year for about 10 months. All was going well until the end of last ear when she started moaning about the quality of some of the work. She then refused to pay about £2000 for work done. Her complaints about the workmanship are very spurious indeed and any small problems my friends have put right at their expense. She was sent a first and final letter befor action. She has replied threatening to counter sue for over 8000 for loss of business and additional expenses incurred as a result of my friends alleged poor workmanship. My friends are happy to pursue her through the scc but I'm a little unsure of the procedure if she counter sues. If she counter sues for £8000 could it end up being put outside of the scc and as such e issue of costs need to be considered. Any advice would be welcome

Fedup If Im reading you correctly youre leaving to live in Canada on friday for at least two years. The house you leaving behind is in negative equity and the organisations holding the charges are being awkward about the renting. I think I know what Id do and dont leave a forwarding address !!!

Ive bought a number of cars from dealers and they sometimes dont have tax. The reality of the situiation is you run the risk of a FPN for No VEL but thats the risk you take. It certainly doesnt invalidate your insurance.

In a word Credit crunch !!!

Just a quick update. As suspected Barclaycard had registered a default whilst the matter was in dispute so I decided to impliment the banks complaint proceedure alleging they had breached the banking code. That was a torturous affair to say the least but eventually last week they agreed to remove the default. A good result eventually. Im just about finished with the re claiming game having got back almost every single penny paid by the kids. I wish you all good luck when the bun fest resumes next year that is assuming the banks havnt all gone bust as a result of their greed in the mortgage business. If the judgment goes against them next year it could be the final nail in the coffin and perhaps then we can get back to ethical local banking with decent customer service at a reasnoble cost.

Rumbley I have also the same problem. Just moved into a house which previously had a contract with Talk Talk The previous owner has cancelled it For ease I tried to start a contract with Talk Talk but they tell me the line has been discontected and I will have to get in touch with BT to get an Active BT Line Speak to BT who will only do it if I pay them about 130.00 for the privilage. The line still works but this is because it takes about 10 days for the cancellation to go through. This is really P@#$%ing me off Any ideas anyone
