Two years ago I had a seeemingly reputable builder do some work on my attic room; work that I had scrimped and saved for.

 

The work turned outto be defective and I had a leaking attic room and slates falling off the roof. To cut a long story short, after many phone calls to get him back to effect repairs, he became increasingly reluctant and abusive.

 

After much to-ing and fro-ing of letters and a disappointing court appearance where he shouted at me and was warned by the judge.... I finally have a judgement and

 

I WON!!!!!!

 

The letter was there when went home for lunch and I had to read it through 3 times just so it would sink in. I was dancing around so much that it upset the dog

 

At last, I can get that room finished

 

To say that I am relieved is a gross understatement.

[Chickvic]

Congratulations! Glad you got the outcome you deserved!

[Egluntyne]

Fantastic news. Well done. What a relief.

[Tiggy]

fantastic news

[The Dogmother]

Thanks Guys - it's been going on for 2 years now, and there's not a day that I haven't thought or worried about it.

[Olly]

Oh well done - what a relief! I hope you can get your money out of him quickly, if he doesn't pay up then go back to court to enforce it.

[susanbb]

Well done. Glad it's all worked out well.

[The Dogmother]

Oh well done - what a relief! I hope you can get your money out of him quickly, if he doesn't pay up then go back to court to enforce it.

 

The judgement says that he is to pay the amount due by 5th May, but I am aware that this isn't enforced by the judgement, so I'm prepared to go back to court for an enforcement order and will eventually involve the local press if necessary.

 

When I get this money back, I can finally get the work on the room finished and move all the gubbins back in there - it has been clogging up the rest of the house for the last two years!

[lisa33]

That's Great News. You must be relieved it's almost over.

[Omletina Kyckling]

That's excellent news! Hope you get your attic room sorted soon!

[clootie]

That's really great news, what a weight that must have been on your shoulders. Shame you had to go through it in the first place but glad that justice prevailed !!

[The Dogmother]

I certainly am Lisa.

 

I have just made some BAFTA-ish phone calls of thanks to friends, builders and family who have helped and advised me work seems so humdrum after news like that.

[Yorkshire Pudding]

That's fantastic Clare!

 

If he has a 'reputation' to guard, your threat to involve the press should make sure he pays up.

[Jules.]

Yay!

[Lesley]

Great news Clare

[Charlottechicken]

Well done Clare

 

What a couple of years worth of worry you have had though, it must have been a cloud hanging over you all this time and I am pleased you made it though with your sanity intact

 

Hope the dog is OK now too!

[theherd123]

Brilliant news Clare!

 

But please dont upset the dog again!

[The Dogmother]

She's probably calmed down by now, but she wasn't sure what was going on!

 

By coincidence, I have a massage booked tonight - a friend and neighbour is an aromatherapist and i look after his house and elderly cat when he goes away. I get a massage in return. I shall enjoy it even more now and relax properly.

Great news Clare! SO glad it is sorted!
