15months to debt free - I hope

Sorry to hear about your worries about the car. 

Could the solicitor help?

This definitely sounds like you should ask the solicitor, they don't have a contract with you and it is bloody outrageous they're trying to ask a disabled non driver in her 70s to pay 2k for something that's nothing to do with you

I have emailed the solicitor but as I understand it a contract like this doesn't die with the person, I think we have decided to photograph it when we are at the house next week and put it on the selling place I use for silly money and see what happens. It will be a pain as I may have to go down and possibly stay overnight being reliant on the train. Mr lh is happy to take me but it costs at least twice as much and we have to take Bear which isn't fair on him as he isn't keen on travelling.

Good luck to them getting money from a stone.

Are you calling me a stone?

I would definitely speak to the solicitor first but otherwise selling for a silly price sounds best.  I can't see how they can force you to take on a contract that isn't yours.  What would happen if BIL didn't have any relatives?

Enjoy the Strike book, it's always nice to have a good bit of escapism!

Definitely need to speak to the solicitor about this.  You can't be expected to over your BIL's contract.  The contract was between him and the company and absolutely nothing to do with you.  I think they're just taking a chance that you'll just pay up.

I think the company are chancing it too. It’s not your problem you didn’t take it on. This is something for the solicitor to sort out.

Evening all

According to what I have read the contract is enforceable to the estate and although I am not doing the legal stuff I am  still the executor. However the good news is the company have agreed to take the car back. I have to wait for some paperwork to sign and then they will arrange collection to suit me. I think joedenise is probably right that it was a try on. They did try to tell me the car "may have some value". I thought the use of the word may was quite interesting. We have been watching similar cars on the auction sites and they are acheiving a sale price of less that the cost of buying a battery and that is with owned batteries so would probably have been a loss if we had bought the battery and the leased ones ones arent really moving at all. . Anyway hopefully it will be sorted very soon.

Out to PO with yet another letter that I thought best to send special delivery. I called into the charity shop and bought three books. As it has been very warm and humid today I have done absolutely nothing other than the important stuff such a walking Bear. I have just sat and been very hot. I dont cope well with warm weather.

I have picked some strawberries this evening. They seem to be thriving on my neglect of them

I think thats me for tonight have a good one.
