    Never had response but November 26-2023 i was sent final notice letter that my appeal was unsuccessful. I sent a follow up letter on a recorded delivery same day, challenging and requesting copy of the letter of rejection (copy attached), parkingeye failed to produce one.

  2. The insurance company did not refused. They could not find me on the details that the broker gave and then complaint to Fos and they have been chasing both the broker and the various insurance companies given to them by the broker. All the named insurance on the policy denied me as their client. Case been with FOS for almost two years if not more. The UU decided to carry the repair work meaning it was their responsibility, but the neighbour blocked drain was a neglect for years in his own part that caused the expense. How do i go about recovering my money back. Unless you want something specific, all the information on my opening page #1

  7. I had called an independent contractor to unblock the drain in my semi-detached property. The work turned out to be bigger job than I thought. After several days of work on the drain, the drain specialist diagnosed the blockage was from and beyond the party-wall. This becomes legal and work stopped. Advised to get united utilities involved (water company) by the drain specialist. The water company came and carried out their investigation and instructed the Owner to move his tenants out as the blockage line was under his conservatory. This was around May 2021. The Owner was not able to move his tenants out to my inconvenience, and after several months wait, I was written to by the water company that they have decided to divert the sewage line into the opposite direction of the street and that they will pay me incidental cost resulting from inconvenience and damage and replacement of the shed as the shed will have to go and a signed contract with water company to this effect was made. In June/July 2021, the drain was completed. No compensation received to date from water company, reason, claim was too high as I rejected offer of only paying for a new shed passed claim to insurance. The effect of the blocked drain at my neighbour property had: 1. Resulted into underpinning my property, leading to piling. 2. Damaged caused delayed in repairs 3. The cost of independent contractor to investigate and diagnosed the problems. I have contacted my insurance broker and the insurance to deal with the matter, with no joy. I have been on this for several years with insurance claiming that I am not in their book as a client, a case that has been reported to the financial ombudsman for over a year with my neighbour (Owner)not aware of my intending action of wanting claims for damages caused by his blocked drain. Neighbour’s Tenants: My neighbour’s (Owner) tenants moved out in June/July 2023 and the owner wants to sell the property. I expressed interest and he allowed me access to the survey report that he carried out in May 2021 at the time I reported drain blockage of his drain to the water company. My neighbour had come to me at the time with his survey report to introduce him to the builder that did my underpinning/piling. Secondly, I requested for an independent surveyor as I expressed interest in the purchase of his property. He allowed me to carry one out but reject my offer after I told him that he must have consideration for his asking price because the subsiding in his property had caused expensive repair work on mine, he ignored the facts as both two surveys established the fact. Any help? What can I do and how do I approach this if the property is sold. Who do I go after, water company or my neighbour - the Owner of the property.
  8. I cannot pay this money unless I sell my house. I cannot see myself selling before court deadline. Can i make proposal of payment
  9. sorry error on my part. trying to delete one but don't know how
  10. Scan2023-03-10_074947 £100.pdf 25th August 2021 letter from Simeon solicitor to builder.
  11. Yes same case. The claimant originally brought a claim of £2866.66 when it should have been £2513.00 had he completed the job. i counterclaimed for 16k. He didn't defend his claim and I got a judgement by default. I was ill at the time, gave the claim to my solicitor to which the claimant agreed to pay £100.00p/week by instalment but I rejected the offer. My solicitor went for an order claimant to pay their cost, ( I believe for £3k.} The claimant then made application to set-aside judgement. This cost was mention at the hearing on the 1stMarch and judge says it has nothing to do with the hearing and the claimant's Barrister said the same when we were trying to settle before the hearing?
  12. I believe that my previous solicitor got court order of over £3k cost against the claimant for judgement by default. Could I have set this cost (my cost ) against the claimant cost of 7K awarded against me.
  13. following on from The Costs Issue Wrote a letter to the judge for postponement for being unprepared plus leaving the Scott Schedule and all the, all-night prep behind at home. I was a nerve wreck at the court. Judge gave me opportunity to think over the postponement and try to settle. I accepted, the claimant wanted 15k and I proposed 3k. It appeared the Judge was dealing with the counterclaim as I was still addressed as Defendant…confusing My question to claimant was, “why did claimant take me to court for £2866.66 when indeed the outstanding was £2513 if he had finished the work. He replied’ he was not sure of exact amount The judge then picked him up on his application to which he confessed he did not sign the claim application and a friend had done it. He was told it was criminal offence and before she decides sanction him, for his criminal behaviour, she says, she would like to know my views. On this occasion I said whatever she feels right and the claimant was exonerated and hearing continued 2. His counsel asked if I agree with Expert report.? I replied no because no plasterer /builder would charge £20 to fix damaged wall or fix your electricity for Zero £ (hearing was nerve racking and I didnt do well at all and wasn’t myself as I stammer a lot throughout) The judge went through the items and put her final figure at £1300 for the counterclaim I asked about my cost from claimant losing his setting aside application, she said that the case didn’t have anything to do with this hearing. it was finished at the lower court. Asked about damages for not finishing work. Again, did get straight response. Just looked silly/confused in the court room. Don’t have this cost to pay unless I borrow or sell. I did not win my counterclaim to the value of £16k , but win for £1,300 while the claimant won for £1,129. Should I have claimed cost for my win and damages:? I do understand that the claimant might want to say that the case should have gone to small claim and would request their cost, but this would have reduced my cost as well if I was able to claim my cost as well Who exactly have won in this matter?. Don’t really know if I have been taken advantage of in the court room.
