CCJ for Waste Removal after house sale?????

lady1964

Years & years ago when I still lived with my parents, we moved house. The seller had left some stuff behind in the garden. My parents received a letter from him about a week after they had moved out saying he had left some semen in the garden ��
The 'semen' turned out to be a bag of cement - there was a language barrier - which they collected a few days later ��

Pay the bill. Challenging it and going to court will only cost more in the long run. If your friend didn't want to pay that much for rubbish removal, perhaps he should have hired someone cheaper.

People are very keen to say the bin bags could have gone in the wheelie bin, but my council collects rubbish fortnightly and won't take 'overfull' wheelie bins, i.e. if the lids don't close properly. The two bags might have fitted in my bin, but I don't think much else would have! The bulky item collection may be a chargeable service only collected on a certain day, and - having just done this through my own council - requires items to be no bigger than 6ft, so depending on the size of the bed it may have had to be partially dismantled. Absorbant materials such as matresses needed to be wrapped, and everything moved on to the street. It can be a bit of a faff even if the buyer is physically capable.

Your busy friend is very keen to judge how the buyer should have used their time. Did it occur to them that the buyer might not have the time to compare quotes or bag up waste and drive it to the tip, and instead picked the option that was convenient for them?

I think we are getting side tracked here, but I believe the bed was in the house. As was the rubbish bag (sealed).

The fence panels were in the Garden, but were in a usable state, they just werent in part of the fence.

The question is not the ins and outs of the rubbish / waste / items. It is whether he is liable to pay.

Your colleague is the one who got side tracked, OP

1. He left a bed in the house - did he know whether that was affecting her ability to place her own belongings? Or if anyone could help her lift/transport/dispose of it?
2. Why did he not put the bins out? smells, hygene, respect?
3. Fences, see point 1 above.
4. Was asked to do something about it and ignored/dismissed the request.
5. Now squealing as he has to pay - perhaps excessively- for it and failure to pay could result in a CCJ.

I couldn't be more pleased for her. How shocking' your friend's behaviour was - spoiling the excitment of her new home with such ease - now the laughs on him.:T

ETA: He's got time now, I suppose?

I wouldn't want the embarassment of having the neighbours see me returning to clean up my mess, but that's the only version that will be free.
