FUMING!!!!!

Maybe, but at the same time if it was me, I wouldn't want them to think that in the safety of their little group they could walk all over me, and take advantage of me. I'd fight them (through legal means).

To turn the situation around to a different angle, consider this. Imagine if you bought a used car, took it home, spent all day giving it a good scrub, t-cut and wax, then the garage phones you to say they've made a mistake, and you have to bring the car back so they can give you another one that isn't as nice. Would you just take it on the chin?

 

I see your point too. If it was me, I wouldn't actually go as far as submitting a claim through the small claims procedure, but I would do everything up to that point just to scare them into making the effort to get it right next time.

I would right to them on the date that I'd previously said I was going to log the claim, to tell them something along the lines that on this occassion I've decided it is in nobody's interest to proceed with legal action, however if I suffer any further loss in future as a direct result of their negligence I will not hesitate to use legal means to recover my losses.

Give them a good scare, and they may well be prompted to sort out their systems and processes to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

 

Here you are TB these are the people that will help you with your problem and will tell you the right way to go...Good Luck

Sorry about the two identical posts.

 

This may not be an issue. In my experience kids are more likely to vandalise stuff that appears to be neglected anyway. Once it all looks tidy, they may very well move on to another neglected site to wreck. Not always the case, but I reckon more often than not.

 

Totalbeginner I hope all our comments have empowered you and maybe in a very short time you will not seem such a little lost soul or new kid on the block or should that be plot?:cnfs::D

Once you have settled into your plot you will feel more at ease although I still think it's very sloppy work allotting the plots in fact I think the commitee should make up for this error by clearing your new plot for you.

I really don't think there is any fear of alienating yourself towards the other plots holders, people need to stand up and fight for what's right and by gummy if there's a slip up I make sure that it gets put right after all we really should not be sheep and just except what one person wants us to believe.

If things are wrong then it's wrong full stop.

Anyway enough of the rant enjoy your new plot just make sure it's in writing and that it's yours this time.Hel.xxx.

 

totalbeginner, I',m sorry you have had problems. Like you have been advised - fight. Who gave you the allotmetnt? Was it your local council or someone else? These people on her are spot on so don't mess with them, they will tell you who to contact.
I know how it feels to be messed about. You have to consider all points and I'm sure you have had loads from here. I am feeling very fed up with the incompetence of 'people'. So let us know what you do.

cheers

 

She's signed a contract, in order to do so
the allotment commitee must of terminated the previous
contract, i but it down to favourism on the site,
sorry but i say what i see.

 

right, i rang them about the fence and the lady whom i spoke to said it was number 1 on the councils priorities to fix, but she said she cant really give me a time span. fair enough.
the people who it says on the contract is with is ''john laing integrated services''. but the contract says.....
'' agreement made this 16th day of march 2009 between jophn laing integrated services ( hereinafter called the corporation) acting by its chirf executive of the one part and ...(me) ''

when i asked about the name of the lady who i spoke to and did the contract with, the woman on the phone caught on to where that was leading (a complaints letter) and told me it didnt gove a name on the system, only the date abnd the plot. how convenient.
anyway, i will certainly write a letter just out of principle. Its not a monetary issue, i dont want any paying for the work i did on the original plot, i just got so disheartened and dissappointed that i did 3 weeks of pure rubbish clearing and recycling and buying all my bits, for what felt like nothing at the time.
but i have now made a new plan for my allotment in regards to the companion planting etc, so i feel a bit better and ready to get on with it.
i asked for someone to meet me to measure and tell me exactley where my plot is, and she said i would get a call sometime next week and he will meet me there at some point. i told her, i apreciate he is busy but , its nearly april, i havent got that long to get things done!!!!
oh well. so again thank you to everyone on here,. its nice to get this off my chest and for you guys to understand!
xxxxxxx
