walshie 2,804 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 It is very sad, but she has 3 weirdo sons who live at home at their age who should have done something about it, not to mention not paying the rent. She's had 5 letters a week for 3 years, so it was hardly a surprise to them. The housing trust could have handled it better, but her sons are the ones who need a kick up the arse. IMO.

jigsaw 11,899 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 yeah I agree,they had plenty of time to sort something out but to drill open the doors was a little harsh for an old gal,them sons want a bit of a slap for letting it go so far..sad at the end of her life shes to deal with that kind of thing,even though it was of her own making i suppose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,851 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I do have sympathy for her...but...it's taken 3 years of letters and numerous court visits...she's missed her rent. She has 3 younger sons...why havnt they helped her get sorted. You cant let people be nightmare tenants just because they are old...would you be on her side if she was a Muslim?

forest of dean redneck 11,806 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I can understand keeping things as the May come in useful,but you got to draw the line somewhere,otherwise you end up like that trebus character on the old life of grime tv series,most the hoarders seem to be slightly tapped in the head.

king 11,984 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I seen a documentary before on hoarders.an old fella had tunnels in the house because of so much clutter and while cooking he only had a tiny space to stand in. Some of them can't bring themselves to even throw a plastic bottle away or a newspaper. But as said they should of helped her years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,851 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I understand it, It is linked to mental health and feeling secure. But if the house is a fire risk and it had gone up in flames...maybe with a young family next door...would you then be commenting about the poor old dear then...or saying feck me they had 3 years of notice! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onlyworkmatters 1,584 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The old dear was £200 in CREDIT with her rent, if you read the comments further down the page a neighbour explains they wanted her out because she was claiming her right to buy but the estate wanted full market value for the property, b*****ds should be ashamed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 28,300 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The sons are a waste of skin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 48,202 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 f***ing terrible, they can find money for court, solicitors and bailiffs but they can't find a few quid to just help her sort it out. Her sons may be complete articles but in a world that can find money for black history month, heroin users, queers and every other assorted odd mark your telling me they can't spare a few quid for an old girl of 87? The people on her street should be ashamed of themselves for not coming out in force to stop the police and bailiffs......I hope they are all proud !!! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
