  • hi MKDon,

    we did agree to it when we put the house up, its a charge if we take the property off with them.

    i know we should not have done it, but we had just put an offer in a fab house in our area, so we had to act quick, and they said it should be easy to sell as it's a fab house, good area......8 months later and not one person!!!

    It still doesn't appear to be "reasonable" to me for them to charge you for their failure to sell. Did they advertise it much, if at all? It could be worth a starting a thread on the House buying, renting & selling board, just to see what comes back.

    Any half decent company of Estate Agents are bound by a "professional Code of Conduct". There is an ombudsman, see this BBC link for a brief intro. It also has a link to the website for the ombudsman. If it saves you £250, it has to be worth a look.
  • OKAY

    hey hon, just thought i'd take a look in and see how you're doing, any joy shifting that crystal yet? welldone for making a start on the overpayments, thats great news! yes only a tenner but a tenner less than you had on there yesterday!! :-)

    You're doing brill, any sign of teh giving up smoking yet? I know it's a very hard time of year what with parties etc, OH and I are literally social smokers, I have one and then can't stand the second but trying so hard to reform as I'm trying to get nice and fit right now and the occasional fag isn't conducive to that. However at parties etc it can be very hard, however i'm pretty sure the cold weather is killing a few smokers off!!

    Take care hon and keep going. xxx
    debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!

  • If you're serious about buying a breadmaker I can recommend this offer from Amazon:-

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-breadmaker-SD254/dp/B000QV07C4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1197986745&sr=8-2

    They're a little more expensive that some makes, but worth the extra :)
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    I wonder if you have a similar scheme locally,maybe if you contacted social services they might be able to help.

  • it has come all crashing down around me,

    it's the 7th of the month 20 days until payday!!!, and we have the grand total £1.31 in the bank

    how has this happended, i thought i was doing so well paying off what we could when hubby had a bonus!
    I know i know i must keep a proper spending diary!!! because it's going somewhere and according to by budget we should have enough to live on.

    i have made £150 from ebaying this week (have to wait a week for the money to come through) was hoping to pay more off the debts but we will need it to survive! the rest of the month

    how can i have it so wrong!!!

    sorry if anyone is reading this, i am just venting
