Fingers crossed for the solicitor's meeting today. I really hope you manage to sort something out.
In the absence of a proper job would you be able to do house sitting to look after people's pets, dog walking, a few hours mucking out for someone etc just to bring in a little bit of money.
Positive vibes going your way.

| Have you found places for all animals etc? Are you anywhere near SA32 postcode? I could ask lovely lady there if she can help in any way if its not too far. She is very helpful and will always go the extra mile. |

Just a thought.. not sure if you feel the bank has not acted in a fair way ( do they ever!) might be worth your while contacting the Financial Ombudsman. Having been in a similar situation with my bank and getting nowhere after FO was involved bank at once changed tactics! amazingly!!
Good Luck and fight for your rights every inch of the way x |

Hi everyone, things have been very tense indeed - can't say too much at the moment but our "evil" buyer definitely has inside information - he came back with an offer that matched the amount of our debt exactly, but was still way below asking price and would have left us with nothing. Our Estate Agent even said that bloke is crooked, he knows what Bank you are with - my fear is he will approach the bank with his "offer" whilst we are still trying to sort out our other rescue plan.
Things were critical yesterday and we nearly lost our rescue plan - she has another property that she could buy and needs to move on our house quickly or she will lose both. Very short time window to get it all sorted (48 hrs). Our solicitor is working extra hard to sort it all out. If it works we can at least stay here for a little while but will have to reduce our stock, as we will only have 2 acres to use. It might take her a year to come up with the full money to purchase. Not an ideal solution, but best we can do.
I urgently need to part with quite a few alpacas, 5 miniature mares at least. If all those who have enquired about them could confirm if they can proceed it would help me enormously. I have got somewhere to put the mini mares for a couple of months, but it is too exposed weather wise to leave there over the winter.
Still not out of the woods yet. Yes the bank have been feeding information - but how do I prove it? At the moment I must concentrate and getting things sorted. We will still be out of work, but at least I can live in a caravan with some of my animals around me. May take a long time to get on my feet - but I will try. Just wish I was 30 years younger!
Thanks again to everyone for offers of help and support.
Hope next update will be a good one! |

| Hi if the bank are feeding someone the information then make an urgent complaint to the Head Office of the bank and explain exactly what you suspect.............whoever is doing it is breaching the rules and acting in an unethical and unprofessional manner and may well be in breach of the banking code of practice and conduct.........sounds like they have more than 'professional' interest in the place! Maybe someone at the bank has got a relative to act as an intersted buyer for them.....sounds strange they know exactly how much to bid far too much detail for them to be acting without some kindof heads up from someone on the inside |

Hi everyone.
It has been a very tense, depressing 48 hours. Our rescue plan isn't quite as good as it sounded originally. We should sign tomorrow, all being well, but it still means I come out with nothing and have to lend her my furniture and all my equipment. All rent she pays has to be paid back to her when she buys the house! That means she stays for free. I can stay free but I have to build a 6ft fence around my caravan and keep the dogs and cats locked up! Well, at least I know what to call my new home..... COLDITZ! It doesn't sound very legal or ethical but she won't use the agreement my solicitor drew up, she has drawn up her own and I either sign up or I am out on my ear. |

| Not sure what to say to your latest post, sounds pretty grim, can only hope that it means you have a breathing space to be able to sort out something much better for you and yours in the long run. Stay strong. |

Not sure if it is quite legal for her to be able to pay rent and then have it returned when she buys the house, after all she has been living there so should pay rent.
Many moons ago (and I know legal things can change) we sold our house and moved into a new one where completion hadn't gone through and we had to pay a rent based on the value of the house until completion, certainly didn't get our rent returned.
I do hope you manage to come out of the other side OK and things improve for you.

| Hi all - well rightly or wrongly the deed is done. We have signed. Now looking for a cheap winterised caravan or mobile home. They are more expensive than I thought. Will keep you all informed. |
