Questions

I sold a piece of land in 1990 to developers who built houses on part of it. They also built on some of my land that I didn’’t sell to them, but I didn’’t discover this until recently. I would like to have the land returned. How would I go about doing this?

I have recently received an order from the council seeking possession of my council house. I owe just under £1,000 in rent arrears. My local advice centre says there will be a duty solicitor in court. Is this correct?

My girlfriend and her children are about to move in with me. She has debts of several thousand pounds, but repayments were frozen at £1 a week following a court judgment. Will the court increase her weekly payments when she starts living with me? Could I become liable for her past debts?

I was quoted £195 including VAT for a full service on my car. I was therefore stunned to receive a bill for £320. The garage pointed out all the extra jobs they ha’d done, including changing the windscreen wipers. We paid them the £195 quoted, but we’ have now received a bill for the extra £125. Should we pay it?

A neighbouring property has been sold after the owner died. Because of a long-standing problem I need to know who the new owner is, but the sale has not been registered at the Land Registry. Surely this is illegal?

My fiancé wanted somewhere to do up his car, so I agreed to let him knock down part of my garden wall so that he could get the vehicle into my back yard. This was on condition that he rebuilt the wall after the project was completed, we’’ve now split up. Is there any way I can force him to rebuild the wall?

Last year I received a cold call from a company stating that they could reclaim about £1600 for me from mis-sold PPI. At the end of the call I realised I had given away too much information and contacted the bank to cancel my credit cards, However, a sum of £800 had gone from my account several days later. Do I have a claim against the bank?

My bank insisted I took out life cover with a business loan I arranged while I was renovating a property. The loan is secured by the property, so I wrote to cancel the life cover, but the bank still took the premium out of my account. Can they do this without my permission?

Three years ago we moved into a detached house with a driveway down one side and a path down the other. The current owners of the house next door have used the path for ten years, and the previous owners did so before them. We don’t mind the neighbours using the path but it has been suggested to us that we could eventually lose the land if this continues.

Our service is completely free and we can help you.
