if im honest you should have had it all back. the fact you made the most of it is beside the point. smell of sewage in there and the fact u had to dig a trench to divert water is a pistake

I agree , but I’d met the guy on arrival and he came across as a difficult guy . I didn’t want to go through all this and thought I was more likely to get a 50% refund through non court negotiation. Then when I went to the online small claims I thought the same thing . Maybe if I’d got legal advice I might have gone for more , but then again I would have had to pay some solicitor.

I want to get my refund first . I don’t want to do anything more to antagonise the guy . When I’ve got my money back , then I’m going to shout it from the rooftops!!!! If you google the copper house Sykes cottages you will see that it’s no longer available, the company has stopped dealing with him , I noticed that other firms who were acting as his agent have pulled the place off their books too .

Understandable. Look forward to hearing it!

Just thought I’d give anyone interested an update. The guy had until November 26 th to pay ..... guess what . He didn’t. So I waited until the new year and contacted DCBL (can’t pay, we’ll take it away ) off the telly . I paid the £66 high court fee and left it to them . Got an email yesterday afternoon to say that they made “peaceful entry into his property, and after a threatening to remove his property he has made payment in full . I can’t believe I’ve got my money back . But after my costs and the bailiff fees he’s got to pay over £2000 . If he had only spoken to us or Sykes cottages and been reasonable it would have been half that .

Brilliant. Even better he tried to get out of it and you f****d him again.

Gives you a bit of faith in the system.

Well Done mate. Glad you got your money.

Cheers Arry

DCBL give it three attempts to go to the debtors house and try to recover your debt . If they can’t make contact or entry, you are stuffed . I felt sure that this guy was going to get away with it . I am genuinely impressed with them . It does give you a bit of faith in the system, but it is not an easy path , and you have to be determined, because it would have been so much easier to forget it .
