my sympathy well is running dry for this knuckle-dragging Rambo wannabe.

You mean the person who's had his property stolen, and been lied to?

If this is even real, which I'm pretty sure its not, why arne't you just shutting your door and leaving it to be sorted out by the relevant parties?

No, because the situation is of your own making.....

how is it OP's fault when she has asked if they could claim any recompense from the female owner and solicitors - who are the ones who created this mess? obviously she should not have continued to engage with the male ex, but this whole thing was started by the fraudulant sale which was not OP's fault. i think they would be due at least an apology for having some stranger wander into their house!

I haven't seen the man himself since last time - we are communicating through his solicitor. He can retrieve most of the stuff from the charity shop himself, so no real damage done there (except the war collection - but the charity shop people may be able to track them down for him). As far as I know, the female owner has the sale money in an account for him as well.

Because the OP is enabling this situation to go on. By tracking down items from a charity shop. By allowing him to check the attic. By continuously engaging in what is a dispute between exes.


A court cannot order an apology.

i'm aware that a court can't order an apology. but this has been a very stressful situation for both parties so i don't see why they wouldn't be entitled to some form of compensation as this situation wasn't declared to OP and i'm sure that something like this should have been declared during the purchase? unless she signed the papers fraudulently, in which case there is a fraud case against her

Hardly!

As far as OP knew they were just buying a perfectly standard house in a perfectly standard way.

I'd also disagree with other post about regarding this guy as someone with "anger issues" or any other issues. It's not abnormal behaviour to get upset if someone sells something you own/part-own over your head and you had no idea. It's entirely understandable.

The "piggy in the middle/cause of all this" is the other part-owner.

Unless there is a provable loss by the OP (which there appears not to be), she cannot use MCOL and would have to sue for damages in a higher court which would cost far, far more than anything she might be awarded.

Hi Folks,

I'm having a quiet Friday evening so thought I'd pop on here to update you all now that the dust has settled! I'm pleased to say that we are still very much in OUR home & nicely settled. Things seem to have calmed down a little. The 'angry man' managed to get most of his belongings back from the charity shop and came to an agreement with his ex for his share of the house funds plus interest and some moderate compensation. In return, he withdrew legal action. We were also visited by the police in relation to the possible mortgage fraud that may have occurred, so we gave our version of events and haven't heard anything since!
