adverse possession

hi could somebody help me plz,,15years ago we erected a fence and put our horse to graze on former sewerage land previously owned by the water board, about 6yrs later they asked us to leave or pay a seriously high rental for the field, we refused and nobody bothered us again,,about 4 yrs ago we found out via the land registry that in 2001 the land had been sold to a firm in bristol,we never had any contact with this firm. this week we had a letter off a power company who claim to now own the land but say the land has until recently been licensed to someone else,this is untrue,they are asking us to meet to discuss a license, would this negate any claim for adverse possession we may have, what should we do next please,,thanks xx

    The MoneySavingExpert forums are not the place to get reliable legal advice. You must go to the Citizens' Advice Bureau or see a solicitor. Some household insurance policies offer free legal advice, and some solicitors offer an initial consultation for a fixed fee.

    Once again it must be emphasised that legal advice should not be sought on a discussion forum. You don't know the credentials of those giving the advice, and could end up in a lot more trouble than you started with.

    Oh, and normal sized text will get just as much attention.
