And squating doesn't??????:rolleyes:
Read up on social squatting on the website... www.squatnow.com
A big portion is about not inconviencing others, and about paying your way.
The aim is to make use of unwanted housing, not to push up other peoples costs.
In many cases social squatting will push DOWN costs for others through reduced crime/council tax.Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0 -
If you read my edit made when Squatnow had his hissy fit, I disclosed everything, the boiler was serviced and passed as fit, it then broke down so I claimed. I also disclosed the hot water was not working, and the engineer spent a good two hours fixing dodgy wiring. I asked if there was any charge (as it mentioned there might be in the T&Cs) and the engineer said no. Perhaps Squatnow should report him to his boss for too good customer service. And unlike Rick from the Young Ones, I was offering practical help to the OP. I got several hours of labour for the price of signing up to BG, something that could help his/her son.Yep, that's fraud. You didn't disclose an existing problem, then made a claim.
Squatnow, were you the school sneak who went running to teacher telling tales? Your outbursts sound like Victor Meldrew, and probably spend hours in the dark watching neighbours with binoculars from behind your granny annexe curtain, screaming "I don't belieeeeve it!", and reporting them to the cops. Are you really all that's left of British anarchism?
Remember when that woman in debt came on here and you reduced her to tears telling her she was going to prison? Or when you recently told someone to abandon a house sale just before completion, which would have cost them thousands? Or your claim Richard Branson was financed by hundreds of millions from his parents? Now you're going to report me for making a genuine claim on my insurance?
If you have nothing useful to say to the OP, why try to derail this discussion?
SQUATNOW IS A GRASS AND A LIAR!Been away for a while.0 -
KatyKat, don't think your relative is doing you any favours quoting £1200 to swop the boiler, there is probably a fault with the expansion vessel in the boiler, which can be repaired.
Contact the boiler manufacture for a quote to repair, many do a fixed fee.
Or take Running Horse's advice! get British Gas to repair and take out maintenance.0 -
Wouldnt the idea be to check whether in any of your sale documents it said that the Gas C/h was working or in a "fit and proper state". I remember when I bought, I was told in no uncertain terms that I had to have insurance covering me from day one, Mortgage wont go through without it....tribuo veneratio ut alius quod they mos veneratio vos0

That would have been insurance for the building not the heating surely? Why would the mortgage company give a monkeys about your boiler
Anyway, OP did the vendors declare the heating as in working order on the SPIF?0 -
And as an aside, anybody can work on the gas appliances in their own house without being corgi registered. It is only if you rent the house or do gas work for somebody else that you need to be register.
Rabbit - can you back this up? As far as I am aware, CORGI was set up following a devastating incident that destroyed a block of flats. If I can fiddle with my own pipes, that offers no protection to my neighbours.
Whereas with electricity, I'm only going to kill myself, so that's OK.0 -
Generally you are correct. The difficulties are demonstrating competence if something goes wrong and complying with Building Regulations if that is required. Have a look at :....And as an aside, anybody can work on the gas appliances in their own house without being corgi registered.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0 -
is the thing with british gas a 'service contract' on your central heating and not techinically 'insurance'?! or are they the same thing?:happyhear0
