Hello guys, I am sorry two questions in one post I feel they are related and can be answered together. Question one. After 9 months and £13,000 of legal expenses. 2 barristers, 3 solicitors, 2 high court visits and 2 tribunal visits, my friend has won against the local council. They wanted him to pay £3600 in council tax and his argument was the tenant was responsible 8 years after the event. All contracts, letters and recorded delivery slips which he used to inform the council were kept. He won the case out right. Now a lot of people are telling him you cant claim legal expenses or personal losses due to the fact its the council. If he did it everyone else would. He is being informed unto total cost of £18,000 is his. He cant claim a single penny for his loss. Please advise. Please note he has proof of everything. From the case to earnings to legal invoices. Question two. After seven phone calls including to head office, local office and individual who invited us to the local car show room the following happened. They failed to understand the car I wanted. They failed to understand the cost of the car. They failed to understand the monthly repayments of the car. They failed to understand the context or pretext or the ONLY reason why we would visit them. At the cost of 2 hours round trip. At the cost of diesel and time. When we reached there we were informed the maximum I could borrow was 45% of what I wanted. And also they did not have the cars. Both cars were not available. Discussing this with the manager he said unless you were here we can not tell you about the car or the finance. In seven phone call including the one that invited me down was the following. “Are you sure I have been accepted? Yes! “for the Galaxy” Yes! “for the Prius? Yes! “what is the maximum they are willing to lend?(3 lenders apparent)! Any! I even went further, I said I am only going to travel because YOU are saying I can get either of the 2 cares. Yes come down I was told. When we went there nothing. All lies. If I was on minimum wage along with my friend. I think the total lost including time and diesel is £22. What shall I do? Please I cant let them get away with it. This is pure day light robbery. Ali Hello guys, I am sorry two questions in one post I feel they are related and can be answered together. Question one.
