DrDougster Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Anyone got any advice on how to cancel UK services from these bar stewards without obeying the "we advise you to use our helpline". "HELP" line? Virgin media want a letter ffs. Is this the 1980s? Edited July 26, 2022 by DrDougster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has taken us so far over 5 months to sell a property in Uk , no mortgage, no chain, just incompetent solicitors who if and when they deign to eventually reply to us, they have drip fed documents to us and insist on posted ink signed documents, won’t accept scanned copy’s. They have been drip feeding the documents to us for months. They have been taking 3 weeks to arrive back in UK, yes we could send registered, but that has taken over 2 weeks at extra cost least so not worth it. It’s pathetic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The 80s? Some legal practices haven’t changed for hundreds of years. Even with my Sister in law in the UK sale of my deceased father in laws house and settling of estate has taken forever. Between the lawyers, agents and land registry……… There are better ways they can do it as Jadgit says but not all solicitors will agree to it.
