Why do you think we havent accepted that?its money we àre worried about
Anyway got a phone call from friend saying he found 600 quid phone debt bill
. 2 months rent arrears letter and hd took a few photos of them. Then he said he was woken 8am as the had their toddler round eho was crying and their response was to puf child in bedroom next to his so hd heard loud screams all morning
Perhaps your friend should contact Shelter. It's not a matter of choosing whether to accept facts or not. The tenancy (and hence, the lodging) will be coming to an end in the not to distant future as rent has not been paid. At the very least, Shelter might tell you friend at what point the council will be obliged to house them....probably once they're actually evicted.
You friend also needs to be very careful. If they get caught photographing the tenant's private mail, they might be out on the street sooner than they imagined."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0 -
Another update. The couple was out to 10pm came back with friends went in kitchen closed door, he even said the door was open till he heard their friend ask about how much their tv costa which is when the couple decided to go in kitchen.
He then heard at one point them making fun of him as he had leftovers on a plate calling him dirty and disgusting. Then one of theit their phones went turns out it was the gitl not the ones friend staying with father mentioning what we told him earlier. Then 4 people enter the room and start telling my friend they are upset at him and he has to be out in morning. Then the girl walked off angry saying friend is ignoring them.
My friend may be strange like me but people mistake that for stupidity when he is far more intelligent than me.0 -

I barely understand what you've written, but I suspect John Barleycorn may have been involved."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0 -
Breaking it down the room was advertised in a shop originally, went to shop today and the owner was there his daughters boyfriend is the brother of the couple. He was shocked and told us to get out of there. When the couple came home he text them and they got angry on friend for telling basically and the girl stormed off.
