    What sideways?
    Am I right in thinking they don't like going to court? When I mentioned to Big foot (re the heathen who kicked my gate) he stuttered when I said he would have to take me to court over non payment.:o

    Good for you! Keep on their backs.

    Welcome staff seem to think all their customers are liars and are simply trying to rip them off, so they're less than sympathetic.

    Not yet Gina, in fact I just got a letter over the weekend from the Legal dept. advising me again the points he made (as if I'm stupid), I emailed him today to re-iterate the points I'd made as though he was stupid lol.

    They like to think they're bigger than their customers, well not with me, and not with the rest on here it seems lol :beer:
  • thanks sol
    my motto is dont let them grind you down to there level!!

    Your right about court gina,after the conversation from the "screetching banchee"welcome legal dept lady on mon,i wrote a letter giving them 7 days to sort it or i will make a court date (cant afford to pay my brief anymore so doing it myself)
    TROUBLE IS IT TAKES AT LEAST 5 MONTHS TO GET A COURT DATE ROOUND HERE!!
    theyll be bust by then!!:eek::eek:
