The firm knew he would never give his consent. There is no legal way for that firm to force Silvercar to give his consent.
Upshot = the firm never did get into the house to retrieve this and had to write it off as "down to Silvercar's vendor and we cant get Silvercar's vendor to pay up/couldn't con Silvercar into paying his vendors bill = end of matter and have to throw that bill away as unpaid".
That's how I'm reading Silvercar's post.
Correct. Sorry, I had thought that was clear from my post.
I think there was also the realisation that the actual parts cost was small. The work that had to be done involved calculations and plans and labour plus the materials, which were bits of wood. So the material cost would have been small.
There was one telephone conversation, where they asked if we would like to pay, we said we had already paid a fortune for the house so weren't gong to pay for something twice. I think they may have registered the debt with the bankruptcy people.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
