Northern Rock won't communicate

[pocster]

Hi all,

 

Firstly forgive if wrong forum!; not sure where to post.

I own a flat in a block of 2. The downstairs flat sometime ago got repossessed by the lender Northern Rock.

During that time there was a leak (I cannot prove if the downstairs tenants were resident at that time but have information to proof NR were contacted and did not react). The leak went on to cause subsidence affecting the entrance way and hence both flats. The insurer wants £1,000 excess. NR do not respond (I expect them to pay half). Equally the roof (in the lease both flats are responsible for) needed repair at cost of £620. I asked NR for half - no reply.

I got my solicitor to write to NR especially about the insurance subsidence issue - no reply.

 

Apart from being complete £$%£% ; what should I do?

Is it worth small claims court? (i.e. is this a valid issue in that respect) ; or do I just give up pay £1000 excess and also the £620 for the roof repair.

 

Any advice welcome.

 

thanks

Keep at it, send a letter before action or get lawyer to do it and certainly worth small claims court, you can represent yourself and they wont win. They are *****.
