Default nothing is ever simple

....

Poxy council... Got the keys to my place on 25 Novemeber.. no flooring, no nothing, hence not moving in for a month later...

get a letter... 400+ quid, dated from 1 November.. Sent a letter clearing stating the property wasnt even built then... Then I get another letter 400+ quid from 1 November.. Are people REALLY this stupid..???

Plus.. BT,.. fookin absolutely useless... BT Broadband please... ok, 75 quid to activate your line.. So a little harsh, but needed I guess.. 24th Jan we will be with you... No probs.. Call them back as I forgot to get a modem off of them.. lady on the phone said that the date had been cancelled WTF.. who by, because it werent me.. If I hadnt of phoned, I would have wasted a days annual lkeave to wait for a BT engineer who wouldnt turn up..

Why are companies thick Useless..

Pisses me off big time..

BT do that to us in work on a regular basis. We often order phone lines for clients to convert to ADSL. On many occasions the installation date has passed without a visit from an engineer. They cancel the install for one reason or another but never inform us.

No, tell them it was vacant/uninhabitable until your entry date. They'll piss around, but you'll get off with it

Usually if a property is uninhabitable and you aint living in it you are entitled to a 50% reduction on your council tax for 6 months at least.....
