Our legal system is a farce!! 😤😤

Instead of posting this problem and telling everyone what you want to do on a social media platform, maybe do it without attracting worldwide attention?

You had a point up until the last bit about this site 'attracting worldwide attention'........ still, stranger things have happened. Jordan Hugill scored a goal for us once 😊 .

It has cost you so much already. How about instead of spending more on legal fees pay a Double Glazing firm to remove the windows on the pretext they need replacing but don't replace them. Store the windows somewhere safe and let the fu*kers freeze to death or better still the dog escapes through the open window and runs off.

Can certainly understand your frustration and anger over this and also the very great temptation to wreak some form of retribution! BUT, to do so would very likely play into their hands as well as land yourself in trouble and, aside from making you feel temporarily better because you've vented on them, in the longer run it won't solve your problem (and may likely add to it). But then you know all this and that's only adding to your frustration. If venting on here helps that's fine because that's what friends are for -and, whilst there may be disagreements between us, the main posters on here will be supportive of each other.

I'd guess that many of us on here have had some experience of the law and how slow it is to run its course even if it has not involved the sort of money you have lost. And it does always seem that those in the wrong are allowed to get away with too much!

Anyhow, I really hope that this last hurdle of the "terrier" is over soon for you and that you can at long last get them out and the house back. As for all the money you have lost in legal fees and unpaid rent etc, I don't know how much of this you will be able to get back but be good to have some sort of end to this for you all.

Really sorry Mick, this kind of stuff really gets in the way of helping your mental health. Keeps you stuck. I can totally understand why a lot of Landlords don't do it any more.

My brother is a window fitter Joy, has been one for 40 years so this would seem easy but it isn’t.

The law is totally on the side of rogue tenants because even though they have ignored the strongest mandate a court can grant in the Mandatory Possession Order given to us in November.......if we literally step onto the pathway or garden we can be arrested for harassment and stuff of that nature.

They are totally protected, the house might as well be inside a sealed off bubble.

This post was more intended to be a discussion on the ridiculous state of our legal system than anything else but as I wrote it my inner anger just welled up, maybe a few can understand that?

Obviously there’s the odd few who get more pleasure victim blaming in the sense that my anger is the focus of their posts.

I wonder how sanguine these people would be if they’d seen scum cost their family £35k and mounting?

Easy to sit on the high horse and score points off me because I’m at my wits end though.

It’d be more interesting to hear from others who have had instances of the law being weak, skewed in favour of the guilty or just a plain ass!?

Totally understand the frustration Mick and the whole point of the forum is to discuss non footballing matters too. Presume these tenants had good references and were employed when they took possession of the property? I know a good estate agent or Rightmove are very thorough with references and want to see bank statements of earnings as part of a affordability check to pay the rent.

The problem with today’s society is that the perpetrator of any crime gets far more protection and sympathy than the victim. I have no answers to your problem mick, I can only sympathise and hope that everything turns out well for you.

Best of luck, Mick, on getting this sorted, I feel for you, the frustration and anger must be overwhelming.

Can you kidnap the dog then just go back with the bailiffs?

[westcountryvillain]

Shaking my head in disbelief at this Mick, I hope there's a mechanism for you to get all or at the very least a good chunk of your money back.

Will these tenants be blacklisted, absolute vermin.
