Hi all, briefly after my father in law died 2 years ago he was involved with what i can only describe as a con woman,
he received a compensation payout and bought for cash a static caravan for £15,000,he died 3 months later,
we did not know until aftr his death that this woman had loaned him the deposit of £1000 while waiting for his funds to clear, this put her name on the sales invoice,
3 days before he died, she sold the caravan back to the park for £6000, we found this out after she changed the locks a week later and stopped the sale as there was a will, it went to court and the judge said 50/50 which we were expecting, she had a legal aid bill of £3000 and we represented ourselves, she was ordred by the judge to give us a key,
we were to take over the sale and she was to return our posessions she removed, she has done none,
we had to hire a locksmith to get in, only to discover that she had not drained the pipes and they all burst, we took photos and wrote to her solicitor stating that under no circumstances whatsoever were we paying to have the damage repaired, as the caravan was in her clients sole possession and we had no control over the winterisation of the caravan,
her solicitor has ignored the photos and stated that her client is not responsible nor would she be paying the locksmith bill, because of the flooding the curtains had started to grow mould and also patches on the furniture,
while we were cleaning it and hired a plumber to replace all the pipes we were receiving threatening letters from her solicitor wanting evidence of how we were advertising the caravan for sale, she ignored the facts that all the pipes had burst and would not accept responsibility, she failed to advise her client to give us a key and return our belongings,
because of the damege and the fact that the floor had been wet for several months we had to sell for £5000, all the time being harassed receiving many letters from her solicitor,
i deducted from the sale the cost of these repairs and sent a cheque for the difference to he solicitor, who returned it, so in july of that year I called the LSC to pay the cheque to them but was told they had no record of the cert no, probably because it had expired, we heard nothing from her solicitor since sept 06 then last week we received a court bundle and we are being taken back to court for the full £2500,
unbeknown to us, this womans solicitor has written many letters to the caravan park asking questions about the burst pipes and did we sell it for les than it was worth, she also wrote to me stating that new evidence had come to light from the salesman at the park and that he would be willing to attend court, I then wrote to their head office complaining and enclosed the solicitors letter and the next day i receiced a call from the salesman who said both her and her solicitor had called the park on numerous occasions and that the solicitor had completly taken out of context his words and twisted what was said to use in a threatening way against us and that he did not say he would attend court.
she has also contacted or local caravan park and attempted to get details of the caravan we bought there, as far as writing to their solicitors. her last legal aid bill was £3000 and the solicitor claims that the delay in bringing the action was to secure funding because the LSC would not extend her license, she tried her home insurance twice, which was refused, then she submitted a new claim to the LSC in Nov last year which was granted in Jan this year, is this the normal way solicitors represent their clients,
my Husband and I have been constantly harassed, threatened, accused while she has failed to advise her client to adhere to the order, so despite all the photos of the damage she will not accept responsibility and with legal aid we are being taken back to court, so im wondering, when her legal aid cert ran out in july 06 why would her solicitor write so many letters and phone calls, there was no funding and I know for certain that this woman would not have paid out of her own pocket. the solicitor has also had this woman and her son sign sworn affidavids, under oath which we can proove are lies, do you think she is a friend, surely they dont go to these lengths, its only a caravan...B
