Stuart Lyon Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I've been contacting care homes re a place for an elderly relative who can't stay on her own any more and the lack of professionalism shown by 2 of them is unbelievable. I used an online enquiry form for one and put my contact details down but hadn't heard from them by Thursday so phoned and explained what I was looking for and they took my contact details again and said a manger would be in touch. By yesterday I still hadn't had a call from them so I phoned again only to be asked to leave my contact details yet again. Guess what no contact from them today. The second one I actually visited last Friday to be told that both the manager and her deputy were currently showing an interested part around the home. The receptionist recognised my relative's name as apparently her social worker had called just a short time before our visit. I was asked to leave my contact details which I did but again no response so far. Unfortunately places are in short supply so those running these homes have you over a barrel.

Debut 4 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 A fud from the next stair moved away and left his van, with a puncture, in front of our block in parking spaces which is the right of ours. It's easily been 8, 9 months but I checked and his van has been SORN'd. Ignorant ****er. Really grinds me. He actually had it parked there when he stayed in the area and no one bothered, even me, it was fair enough as there was space sometimes. But it's just the ignorance that gets me now. He's still local in the sense he's moved to a nearby area but he's taking the pish big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not a private (as in private property, or privately paid for) road, it's still illegal to leave it there. You could dob him in at https://www.gov.uk/report-untaxed-vehicle if he's content to just leave it there. It'll get shifted, and he won't be any the wiser about who done it.

I hate to be a snitch but I'm not far from doing it. I just think he's being a total w******. During the day he's apparently coming back and forth treating it like a storage container. I never see him because I'm obviously working. We've been fair imo leaving it this long by giving him a chance to move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Just do it and don't look back. It's been months, and if he's using it as a storage container, you have an even bigger argument for them shifting it, as you could say he's actively using it for work. Get it launched, and enjoy your new, van less view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a dozen of us done it with a car round our way and it took a couple of months for them even to respond to us. It was reported to the council as abandoned and to wherever for having no tax or insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our stuff ended up in a self storage place for a month last time and we were temporarily "homeless". Ended up having to shell out loads on a serviced apartment. It was a proper ballache and next time I'm letting the professionals pack up and move my stuff for me. I won't be lifting a finger and it'll be worth every penny.

I tried at 1 point but it just wasn't the same. Thanks to the shed I will never leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
