A bit of local news, we finally won a victory for our community woodlands. For several years we've had to deal with animosity ranging from people yelling "YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN THE WOODS", to the kids from the Forest Schools project coming and finding some grown ups have been in the night and smashed up whatever they were working on. We've now got a public statement from the Parish Council that they will pay for tree care & maintenance, and, importantly, that the woodlands were entrusted to the community by the Coal Board for recreation. We were always right to be encouraging people to use them, and anyone who said otherwise is a oval office. OFFICIAL. I listened to the recording of the relevant part of the council meeting where as it's being discussed, this one woman keeps naming a company to come in and do an assessment, and they'll take care of the trees, we should give them an ongoing contract, I'm sure we can get them to do bins if we ask, etc etc. Eventually one of the other council members tells her not to get ahead of herself when she says they'll give them a call. I mentioned it to someone this morning and she said "Oh yeah, Derwent Treescapes? That'll be Sue, her brother owns it and she makes sure they get all the outdoor contracts round here whether they need doing or not." loving Tories. Even at Parish Council level!

Yeah the writing between the lines is pretty chilling. ‘We acknowledge mass graves would be required for 4000 deaths a day. No we don’t support lockdown. No we don’t have any suggestions as to alternatives.’jabby posted:There's no way Starmer faces Boris at the next election. Problem is half the Tories think he has to go because he’s mismanaged things and let the virus get out of control. The other half are just mad he’s doing anything about it at all. Anyone supporting a Rishi take over is in the latter camp. Regarde Aduck fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Nov 2, 2020 |

Well, we have to make good of the state we find ourselves in, which is nothing to do with me of course, and leada new eara of hyper austerity.

gently caress's sake. My wife's van was stolen earlier this year (and was promptly used in several high-end bike thefts), and to add insult to injury she then got a ticket from a private parking company because it was left in the grounds of some luxury flats. She told them the circumstances, gave them the police crime number as evidence of the date of the theft, and thought that was the end of it. Nope: she's now had a letter (claiming she hadn't responded to the original bill) threatening a visit from a "doorstep collection agency" if she doesn't pay up double the original amount, and when she called again to explain was verbally abused and basically told "we don't give a poo poo that it was stolen, pay us or go to court." Anyone had experience dealing with these kinds of parasites?

Tell them you'll see them in court and ask them to serve you papers - a judge would laugh this out and they know it.

Tell them she'll go to court. They may well capitulate in advance or just not turn up on the day. (Happened to my sister over a dodgy loan company falsely claiming she owed them £900.) But in any case have a read here: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/l...se-was-driving/ there's a section on stolen.

These fuckers know they can't actually win & that the cost of attending trial would be more than they'd actually get,* so they just try to bully people into paying. It often is literally harassment, which is a crime as well as a civil wrong, pushing that angle is probably your best bet. *it's fixed costs in small claims so companies tend not to actually litigate if they can avoid it, over-aggression is a telltale sign that they don't actually have the balls ime

MoneySavingExpert has a very good page on how to deal with these companies: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/private-parking-tickets/ The upshot is they can't do poo poo apart from ask you to pay (through various threatening letters/phone calls) unless they take you to court and get a judgement against you, which in your case they would certainly fail to do. Their entire system is set up to bully you into paying, they will never willingly cancel a ticket.

Borrovan posted:Yes. Tell them to go gently caress themselves, threaten to sue them for harassment (which you totally can do), if they instruct lawyers then tell them to go gently caress themselves, then pedantically insist that they meticulously follow every aspect of the pre-action protocol practice direction, maybe offer them a generous settlement of one (1) packet of monster munch (roast beef flavour, opened, Claimant to cover postage costs), and tell them to go gently caress themselves again when they refuse. I know the answer is lol England but how are these companies not routinely shut down and the responsible parties inprisoned/fined? All it should really take is one person refusing to pay and reporting harassment for the whole enterprise to come under scrutiny.

I mountain bike in the forest I live, and it's accepted and there are places where it's sanctioned and all good, and even then walkers and mostly older people try to verbally and physically assault mountain bikers. It's increased since the first lockdown, and there have been multiple accounts of trail sabotage including horrific poo poo like pungee pits and wires across trails. Some people absolutely hate their forest being used for things that they don't like.
