    Fluid is now at £240 This month I'm going to focus on paying this off and getting my car fixed! In other news though it's been a whole year since we sold the house and it's still being dealt with via the solicitors which is beyond a joke now!

    I'd be thinking written complaint.  As in on paper & sent to be signed for.  To many businesses are using covid as an excuse to hold onto money that isn't theirs to keep.

    We've made a complaint and rang them and they replied saying its down to the deeds of the house not being sent out. It's so annoying as they said they can see its been printed etc
