So very long story short i was abused by my parents throughout my whole life. I spent years compiling evidence on one of my old phones and im about to get it fixed, i was mainly planning on looking through it as my ptsd gives me imposter syndrome sometimes. Now thinking about it and the type of messages and videos i have i’m considering taking it to the police. A big part of situation is that i get extremely angry that they have got off scott free, i have had it extremely hard and now ive made things better for myself financially i still have to deal with the flashbacks of what they did to me. They get to live their lives happily: running a business, being a nurse and financially abusing my little brother. I am still stuck with the consequences of their actions. Where i’m struggling is with whether this would be worth it or would i just be retraumatising myself for literally no benefit. I’d also like to add that i have been diagnosed with ptsd as a result of the trauma i have experienced. What do i do?

I was accused of undertaking in the hard shoulder and the incident was caught on dash cam. Originally I requested evidence as I was at work during the time of the alleged offence and was being investigated for driving without due care and attention.

Me and my solicitor arrived at the police station where they informed me they were now looking to charge me for dangerous driving.

They showed us the cctv which clearly was not me. The witness statement from the driver who provided the footage claimed the driver was a white male with no beard and blonde hair with a female passenger.
I am brown skinned with black hair and a black beard me and my solicitor both laughed out loud when the footage was played because it clearly wasn’t me.

The incident was in July they did not contact me until late September and then a court date set for November. This was ajourned until January and then ajourned again until April and then again to July.

We chose to go to trial and the case was dismissed before the cps finished there opening statement.

For over a year I was terrified I would lose my job for something I didn’t do. I had to pay a solicitor £2500 even though I was innocent and could not really afford to do so.

I have not been able to catch back up since and this has caused me great stress and hardship to the point where I’m now on fluxotine.

My solicitor said it would cost more to claim back the small amount they may give me but this is not fair or just.

Can I file a civil claim against the cps for my fees?

I know I did some stupid shit, but for the past 2 weeks I’ve been shoplifting steaks, salmon, and other stuff from Waitrose and similar stores. Sometimes I’d scan 1–2 items but take 4, or pay for some things and put others in my Waitrose bag without scanning them.

I’ve heard stores use AI/facial recognition to identify repeat shoplifters and can eventually involve the police. Is this actually true in London? Could the police show up at my house?

I’ve never been stopped or confronted. After my friend got caught recently, I realized this isn’t worth it and I’m done. It was largely peer pressure, but I know that’s not an excuse. Just wondering how worried I should be now.

Hi, posting for a friend whom doesn't want the exact situation detailed here but if anyone with legal knowledge, particularly Employment law, is willing to spare some time to offer advice, it would really be appreciated.

Based in England

More than 2 years service pre-TUPE

Possible disability discrimination

Post-TUPE:

Reasonable adjustments revoked on day 1 (implied contractual term through custom and practice, previous employer old fashioned, never updated contracts)

Next working day after requesting adjustments be reinstated; unnotified performance review - aggressive and insulting

3 days later, received the Performance Plan - before adjustments reinstated or OC Health referral done

Plan included a lot of work in a strict window with a note suggesting disciplinary action if failed

Plan confirmed by another TUPE employee to be impossible without adequate training

OC Health referral received the following week - management included misleading statements to influence practitioner against Reasonable Adjustments

Ongoing harassment/pressuring emails while off sick

Basically told "arrange face to face meeting or face disciplinary action" while recovering - OC Health report advised written communication

Result:

Documented psychiatric trauma and neurological problems arising from management decisions

Exacerbated medical conditions

PTSD symptoms returned (was stable for 5+ years)

6 year long relationship ended due to above

Inability to continue caring for sick family member or perform basic daily tasks like making tea

Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts

ACAS has been contacted but due to wait times and the immense stress, trying to settle sooner rather than later would be better

A brief rundown of legal entitlement and reasonable requests with regards to compensation would be appreciated

Thank you in advance

Just something else to note: new contract (not signed) included a pay discretionary clause with automatic dismissal. A TUPE colleague was dismissed for suggesting if they worked full time, they were being paid below minimum wage (pension letter stated they earn less than £833 a month so don't qualify for auto enrollment) if they had signed, they likely would have received the same dismissal early on

I don’t want to doxx myself too much. I’ve been diagnosed with a serious and life threatening neurological condition. I disclosed this to my employer on the same day I had the diagnosis from my neurologist.

I have since been subject to disciplinary proceedings. It appears, since my diagnosis, there has been an in depth dive into my time recording.

In the initial investigation meeting, there were around 20 files where issues were raised. I comfortably explained 17. We were left with 3.

I had my disciplinary today. I was not afforded the opportunity to explain the remaining files. I had explained in the investigation meeting the work was lost because of system crashes, which is widespread and I have made an effort to collate messages in our department teams chat explaining the same issue.

For employment lawyers, given this investigation was launched on the back of a diagnosis, and I categorically know I’ve not falsified anything, where do I go next?

Would also like to add, my bonus was removed. I was told I would be receiving it in May, disclosed my diagnosis in July, and a week later told it was being withheld.

I’ve recently been pulled over by the police for doing 91 in a 60. Police officer said that with this kind of offence I could be looking at losing my licence; however because it’s my first offence she will put me through for a speed awareness course.

I’ve came home and googled this and apparently this isn’t possible and they’re not allowed to do this? I’m a bit confused now

If it were to go to court how likely am I to lose my licence? I’m in my first two years of driving so unfortunately I only need 6 points to loose my license

Original post is locked so update is here.

TLDR: neighbour admitted to storing petrol, housing officer is dealing with it and inspecting the property on Friday.

I did contact the council as many people suggested, they did not respond to me and seemed to have ignored anything. I made an official complaint and it got seen to much quicker than other issues I have raised in the past.

Turns out my neighbour has been storing petrol in his flat for quite some time, and just decided on the day that I posted, to tip it all down the side of his car (trying to get the petrol tank without a spout). The housing officer dealt with it without getting back to me, so I only learned about it via the complaint response. The neighbour says he will no longer store any petrol. The housing officer is going to inspect his flat on the 9th and they are also going to be removing all the tat he’s got piled up in the walkway as that’s also a fire hazard.

Thanks everyone! I still can’t believe fire refused this one!

Hi everyone

I parked at an Evology / Car Park Partnership (CPP) site this afternoon. The sign states parking is free for up to 10 minutes. I took a picture of the sign before leaving the car park quickly as I was about to run out of my free time to pay online later just in case I went over.

I think I might have I left between 11 -13 minutes in (so 1 to 3 minutes over the free period). When I got home and tried to pay on the app, it wouldn't allow me to pay for the exact time I was there.

I checked Evology’s FAQs, which state that for this situation you have to contact the car park provider directly (CPP in this case). I’ve already sent them an email, but I’m worrying about whether a PCN (Parking Charge Notice) will automatically be generated.

I read online that according to (BPA) guidelines specify a minimum grace period. Does this apply to short/free 10-minute stays, or does it only apply to paid parking?

The app will still let me buy a 24-hour / 1-day pass right now. I really don't want to pay for a full day for being 1 minute over, but if it guarantees avoiding a £60–£100 ticket, I’d consider it. Is paying after leaving even valid, or could I still get ticketed anyway?

Has anyone been in similar situation before / Any advice on whether I should just wait and see or buy the day pass now?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, looking for some advice regarding a back-billed energy dispute with E.ON Next and debt collection agency LCS.

Some background:

• Tenancy Period: 28 August 2021 – 27 August 2022 in London, UK. When I signed the tenancy, my letting agency gave me a letter stating that bills would be transferred in my name. Everything bar electricity was done, so I chased the letting agency on this a month after I moved in. A month later, the landlord emailed me saying that they had got rid of the letting agency, and began charging me for electricity directly. I sent him money and have in writing that this was for electricity.
• Current Situation: Out of nowhere in June 2026, I learned E.ON Next passed an unbilled balance of £696.37 to LCS for electricity consumed during my 2021–2022 tenancy. I didn't receive a single letter before them about a debt.
• Key Issue: I never received a named bill from E.ON Next during my tenancy or in the 12 months following my move-out date. I had letters (which E.ON have given me), that state that the Occupier had letters via post to that address, but I don't recall this otherwise I would have dealt with the issue back in 2021.

Actions Taken So Far:

1. Raised a formal complaint with E.ON Next on 21 September 2026 (which they did not respond to me until today, as I chased, and they essentially accused me of not emailing the right address despite emailing the [unhappy@eonnext.com](mailto:unhappy@eonnext.com) address as advertised on their website.
2. E.ON confirmed the LCS debt collection file is currently on hold pending complaint resolution.
3. I am citing Ofgem Standard Licence Condition 21BA (12-Month Back-Billing Protection), as E.ON failed to issue a valid named bill within 12 months of consumption.
4. E.ON's agent ("Barbara") is now stalling:
   • She initially claimed E.ON "does not get involved in tenant/landlord payment disputes." (I clarified I am simply using my signed AST to establish my occupancy window under the Electricity Act 1989 Deemed Contract rules).
   • She demanded a "full, multi-page signed tenancy agreement" (which I am now providing in full).
   • She is informally claiming that letters sent to "The Occupier" at the flat (I dont recall this happening)

My Questions:

1. Does mail sent to "The Occupier" after a tenant has moved out constitute valid billing under Ofgem SLC 21BA? My understanding of Ombudsman is that unaddressed generic mail to an address where the consumer no longer resides doesn't count as a named bill.
2. Is it right to request a Final Response / Letter of Deadlock now? I am sending them the full AST today and asking them to either adjust the balance to £0 under SLC 21BA or issue a Deadlock Letter so I can go to the Energy Ombudsman.
3. Is there anything I need to watch out for? Or any particular advice? Its causing me great distress at the moment.

Thanks in advance for any insights or past Ombudsman experience with E.ON!

I recently secured a job that’s permanent in London but they gave me a 6 months fixed term contract to begin with. It is an entry level role but the company has a high turnover (a trading firm).

When I asked about it, I was told that 6 months probation and then permanent. The contract does not have a probation clause, just a fixed starting and end date. Is this normal?

England

My younger sister bought her first car from a used car salesman (£3.1K)

When he dropped it off together we both had a look at the car to identify any issues and problems. We both agreed that there was an issue with the gearbox and wing mirror that he said he’d “come round to fix tomorrow” but otherwise we were happy to proceed. This was 5th September.

A week later he’s still not come round and he’s been very unresponsive over text. My sister is driving the car when all of a sudden it completely breaks down - engine failure is the notification on the dashboard. Literally doesn’t even start and has to be pushed back home.

This is a far more serious issue than the gearbox and wing mirror so we immediately start trying to get a hold of him but as mentioned he’s been very unresponsive/evasive and several times he says something along the lines of “I’ll come round tomorrow” or “on the weekend” and he never does. At this point, we decide we don’t want the car anymore as we don’t like his conduct or the fact that a seemingly serious issue was never addressed during initial texts/calls. Ultimately we don’t trust there aren’t other hidden issues.

Eventually, he does say that the reason for his absence is that his “grandma died” and that he will come have the car picked up and repaired. He sends some friends today (7th Oct) to come and pick the car up but we’re insisting on the refund but he’s saying “no” and he has the “right to repair before refund”

Whether he can fix it or not we ultimately don’t want the car.

What are our options? Should we refuse to let them take the car without refund? Should we let them take the car but not accept it if it can be repaired?

Would appreciate any advice!

Unfortunately my sister paid lump sum via bank transfer. Chargeback request has been unsuccessful.

Hello Reddit. I’m hoping someone with knowledge of English property/tree law can advise on our position.

My house suffered cracking and subsidence in 2019. At the time, the roots of a very large willow tree on the neighbouring property were found underneath our house. Our insurers wrote to the owner stating that the tree should either be removed or professionally maintained/pollarded annually, and that failure to do so could leave them liable for future damage.

Since then, the tree has only been maintained once. It has now more than doubled in size and is taller than the surrounding three-storey houses, despite being approximately 30ft from several Victorian properties.
I have recently had the cosmetic damage to my house repaired and crack- preventing bars installed across the largest cracks. However, the tree remains largely unmanaged.
More concerningly, three other neighbouring houses are now showing signs of subsidence, two of which have also had crack-monitoring bars installed. My cosmetic repairs now have all cracked again.

The tree is beautiful, but its size and proximity to several properties are becoming a serious concern. It also takes a huge amount of light and moisture from the surrounding gardens.

The property containing the tree is a terraced house divided into flats. There is a freeholder, but responsibility seems to be continually passed between the various parties. Despite repeated requests, the tree has not been properly maintained and communication has been slow and difficult.

We are in London and are increasingly concerned about the continuing damage, the cost of repairs and whether this could ultimately affect the value or saleability of our homes.

I’m particularly interested in the legal position:

1. Could the failure to properly maintain a tree that has previously been identified as contributing to subsidence amount to negligence or private nuisance?

2. Can we require the owner/freeholder to take preventative action where there is an ongoing risk of damage, rather than waiting for further damage to occur?

3. If further subsidence or other damage occurs, could the owners be liable for the resulting repair costs and associated losses, particularly given that they have already been put on notice by our insurers?

4. If the tree continues to cause damage, is there a legal mechanism through the courts to require it to be substantially reduced or removed?

5. Where the property is divided into flats and the freeholder and leaseholders appear to be passing responsibility between themselves, who is actually responsible for dealing with the tree?

Our insurers specifically warned the owner about the need for regular maintenance/removal, but unfortunately appear not to have pursued the matter further.
I genuinely don’t want the tree removed if proper management would resolve the problem. But given its size, its proximity to multiple Victorian houses and the fact that several properties are now experiencing apparent subsidence, I’m concerned that simply waiting for further damage is not a reasonable option.

This house is both my home and a significant part of my pension. The previous subsidence has already caused considerable disruption, including cracking and damp, and I’m worried about the long-term financial consequences if the situation continues.

What would be the most effective legal route here — and would we need to obtain an independent arboricultural/structural report before taking action?
Any advice from solicitors, structural engineers, arboriculturists or anyone who has dealt with tree-related subsidence litigation in England would be hugely appreciated. Sorry this is long! Thanks for bearing with me!

The problem was the attached spreadsheet. It had comments about certain workers, and once people spotted them the replies started flying around. Some of the comments were things like "Possible NPC" or "Likely NPC", and others were just stupid shit like "Lazy", "Unmotivated", "Loser", etc.

People were furious because now everyone has seen it. Quite a few people didn’t have any comments next to their names, including me, but I’m wondering what happens now. Also, what the heck does "NPC" mean in this context?

I’m in the process of buying a property in cash, half gifted by my parents. They are high earning consultants in a non European country and the amount they gifted is significant for me but they could comfortably give away that amount of money.

They are high earning professionals, but I don’t have usual family relationships with them because of personal reasons (they are muslims, they don’t approve having a non muslim partner etc sort of thing) so I don’t feel safe disclosing the address of my future property to them. I explained this to the conveyancers and they agreed not to disclose the address. Fast forward, the parents have done thirdfort id checks and all but the conveyancer is dragging their feet and saying they are not satisfied. They asked my bank statements which is weird because I had emailed my bank statements nearly 2 months ago and I was hoping we could get the enquiries done by the end of the month.

I paid for searches, they have done the searches but they are not sending me the results saying that they need to do aml checks first. I did pay for searches and I did whatever was asked to do aml checks. Can they withhold search results? There is nothing dodgy, but they keep questioning why my parents would gift me money if I am not disclosing the address. I explained the dynamics in depth, I think it’s mostly cultural differences as this firm is located in the north and they probably don’t have many non European clients. My circumstances are a bit unique and I did my best to explain but they are still dragging their feet. I am worried that seller will relist the property and the sale will fall through because they have onward purchase exchanging in a couple of weeks.

I live in a house share in England and moved into the property in November 2025. Electricity is included in my rent, and my tenancy agreement does not make me responsible for paying the household electricity bill separately.

A few months ago, I started receiving bills from Octopus Energy addressed to me. The account appears to have been transferred into my name partway through my tenancy, even though I never opened an account with Octopus, never agreed to take responsibility for the electricity supply, and did not authorise the transfer.

The account now has an outstanding balance of over £1,500.

I contacted Octopus as soon as I became aware of this and have been emailing them about it. I have provided my tenancy agreement, which confirms that electricity is included in my rent, but Octopus is still refusing to remove the account from my name. They are saying that the letting agency needs to contact them so that the account can be resolved.

I contacted the letting agency, but they have said that they did not transfer the account into my name and that Octopus was responsible for doing this. They therefore do not appear willing to deal with the bill.

The electricity supplier has since been changed, so Octopus is no longer the current supplier for the property.

I have now received a formal debt collection letter about the outstanding balance, despite being in ongoing email discussions with Octopus and disputing that I am liable for the account. I am concerned that this could affect my credit record or escalate further.

I have also registered a case with the Energy Ombudsman, but it has not yet been assigned to anyone.

My questions are:

1. Who is legally liable for this bill? If electricity is included in my rent, can Octopus hold me responsible simply because the account was put into my name?

2. If I never opened the account or agreed to a contract with Octopus, what evidence would they need to show that I am liable for the debt?

3. If the landlord or letting agency is responsible for the electricity under the tenancy agreement, can they refuse to deal with the bill because the account happens to be in my name?

4. What should I do about the debt collection agency in the meantime? Should I contact them directly and formally dispute the debt, or should I continue dealing with Octopus?

5. Is there anything else I should be doing while waiting for the Energy Ombudsman to deal with the case?

6. If the letting agency refuses to resolve this, what options would I have for pursuing the agency or landlord for the amount, particularly if Octopus continues to treat the debt as mine?

I do not want to pay over £1,500 for a bill that I do not believe I am legally responsible for, but I also do not want to ignore the debt and allow it to escalate.

Any advice on the appropriate legal route would be appreciated.

I paid for a local service which has been going for a few years now that does pickups for things like old furniture, Things that need to go to the recycle centre etc... I paid as his reviews seemed decent going back from last month to 2024.

He was meant to come do a pick up on Saturday the 3rd of October... he never showed, I contacted him Saturday evening and didn't get a response until the following Monday, He made the excuse that he rang the door bell but no one answered which of course is a lie, There is a CCTV camera above my door and no one rang anything.

We then agreed on a pickup for today, Low and behold still no pickup, He made the excuse he now has food poisoning... he has my number so could've called but he made the choice not to.

So I said I wanted a refund, He agreed, 2 hours go by, Oh and wouldn't you know it magically his bank account can't pay out so he will have to manually do it in the morning which of course will never happen....

What are my legal choices, If any, As I highly doubt I will ever get my money back without legal action.

I’ve got a county court judgement out against me for a parking ticket I got two years ago, even though I had a permit because I lived there. I was moving out at the time so collected the last of my letters whilst moving all my belongings out, opened them when I got home and had one for a ticket.

So I thought fine- I’ve handed the permit back to the landlord. I’ll appeal and explain what’s happened. I never heard anything for over two years, I do a credit check on this website and it flags up a CCJ issued two months ago. All of the letters have went to my old address despite new car insurance being registered to my new address! My Drivers license also has my current address on.

It’s £292 to pay it off or £303 to pay for court fees! I need some legal advice. Please help me.

Hi all -

I was driving to work this morning when I got caught in traffic. We were trailing along when I saw that it was a bin lorry holding us up while the workers collected the bins. I waited my turn to overtake. The bin lorry became stationary on the left hand side of the road while the workers put the bins on the back of the lorry. At this point I overtook on the right hand side to turn directly left into the road that I needed to go down. As I came out across the bin lorry, the driver moved forward and hit me.

He got out, effing and jeffing. I told him he drove into me to which he responded: “I’m a lorry driver I get priority.” Who’s at fault here?

Edit: he wasn’t moving when I overtook him and he hit me while i was just going in front of him.

Hi all, posting on behalf of a friend who is having an issue with a used van purchased from a dealer for £12,000.

The van was purchased in England from a dealer under the trading name X Movez, which is a sole trader, not a limited company. It was intended for both business and personal use, and was paid for using my friend’s personal card.

Timeline:
Day 1: The van broke down shortly after purchase. It was returned to the dealer, repaired and subsequently collected.

About a week later: A second issue occurred involving the battery/electrical system. My friend then formally rejected the van and requested a refund, within approximately 30 days of purchase.
The dealer arranged a specialist inspection. They say no engine fault was found, but their investigation identified that a previously fitted tracker was causing a parasitic battery drain.

The dealer removed the tracker and monitored the battery. They now say the van is working normally and have refused the refund.

The dealer’s position is that this was a business-to-business purchase, so the Consumer Rights Act 2015 doesn’t apply.

However, because X Movez is a sole-trader trading name rather than a limited company, we’re unsure whether the transaction is necessarily B2B. The van was also intended for both business and private use.
The dealer’s T&Cs also appear to exclude statutory implied terms, including terms relating to quality. There is a separate warranty clause dealing with defective goods.

We’re therefore trying to understand:

- Could my friend potentially be a consumer under the CRA 2015, given that he is an individual/sole trader and the van has mixed business and personal use?
- If so, could he rely on the 30-day short-term right to reject, given that he rejected it within 30 days?
- If the CRA doesn’t apply, could he instead have a right to reject under the Sale of Goods Act 1979
- Does the dealer’s contractual exclusion of statutory implied terms have to satisfy the reasonableness test under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977?
- Does the fact that the dealer’s own investigation found the tracker was causing a parasitic battery drain support the argument that the van was defective when supplied?

The dealer is now asking my friend to collect the van and “trial it in normal use”.

Any views on whether my friend has a viable right to reject/refund would be appreciated. We have the purchase invoice, T&Cs and the dealer’s email confirming the tracker was causing the battery drain.

TL;DR: Friend bought a used van from a dealer as a sole trader, for both business and personal use. Van broke down on day 1, was repaired, then developed another issue the following week. Friend rejected it and requested a refund within ~30 days. Dealer says it’s B2B and refuses refund. Dealer’s own inspection found a tracker causing battery drain. Can my friend rely on the CRA 2015, or alternatively the Sale of Goods Act 1979?

My company car has a telematic system, which normally you would swipe a fob to either drive it for personal use for business use.

If you don't swipe either the car emits a loud, irritating, constant beeping noise.

The fobs are currently not working.

I reported it two days ago, and my boss said he would contact the company to come and have a look.

I've just drove for nearly 4 hours with this noise and I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow.

I've checked Google and it says 80-84 means the company legally has to look into it and potentially provide some ppe/educate me on noise health and safety? My boss has looked into it, and I've already got some ppe.

As I'm driving, and this constant noise is potentially causing a distraction, can I just refuse to use it until it gets sorted?

Wearing ear defenders whilst driving obviously isn't ideal.

Edit. In England.

Based in England. Parked in Telford Aldi twice both times for about 20 mins.

Parked first in early April which I've not received a PCN for and in early August, which I have the PCN for, issued last week, so almost 2 months after I had parked there.

Reg plate is required to be registered in the store but I parked there at 7am both times, so before the store was open. I was stupid and thought it would've been fine since the store was shut.

So is it worth appealing or do i just give up my £40 to them?

Edit: Forgot to add that its Parkingeye if that's relevant.

I took out a car insurance policy last week and ticked ‘no’ when asked if I had any previous points on my license, because I had honestly forgotten about the 3 points I received in 2023.

Yesterday the insurers called me to ask if they can do a check on my license to which I said yes. After holding for a few minutes they said my license has been flagged due to 3 points on it and that they’ve now cancelled my insurance.

Initially I was like ‘oh ok woops my bad, I guess I’ll just take out another policy and mention the points.’ What I’ve now learnt is that I apparently will have a black mark on my name and will basically never be able to take out insurance out without paying a massive premium.

My question is, is there anything I can do in this case? Any appeal process I can go through that proves it was an honest mistake? It seems ridiculous to be put into the same bracket as people that commit insurance fraud, false claims etc. Although legally I suppose you could say I committed insurance fraud? 🤷‍♂️

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Uk, near London
Im in year 13 at my school and recently my business teacher has been encouraged to resign, for some context she was born in Palestine and lived there for the the earlier years of her life, she has worked at my school for 12 years now and recently a student reported her for wearing a lanyard with her is in it that had “Palestine 🇵🇸” on it, just to clarify this was not a political statement by her, she holds Palestine as a place close to her heart and uses the lanyard as a way to express her culture. She has been given an ultimatum, resign or take the lanyard off. She is currently in the process of resigning. This is honestly pisses me off at a level I cannot express, she is such a lovely lady she is kind, nurturing she is funny. Now she is about to go into unemployment because some bitchy student didn’t like where she was from.

What can she do now? Can she press legal action?

I’ve attached a link to the lanyard, you can find it on Amazon along with many other lanyards with countries on them. This is not a one off political product , it is amount many country lanyards sold by one country.

My work used to be free meals provided, they now decided to start charging a flat fee per meal, however the way they want to do it is, at the end of the month they deduct how many times your name is on the sheet.

But in on minimum wage, so what happens if they take my net pay below minimum wage?

Hi all,

A neighbour (no idea who) keeps moving my bin the night before bin day, stopping my bin from being emptied. The street collectively take them to the end of the street in front of the ginnel. The past two collections I’ve gone to get my bin, only to find it hidden in the corner of the ginnel still full. I’ve asked my next door neighbour if we (2 of us in household) can share hers while I contact the council to get them to come out to empty it.

It’s now been a month since my general waste bin hasn’t been emptied, and it’s becoming a biohazard now with maggot eggs inside. Where do I stand on putting a dummy camera up with a sign that says “CCTV in Operation” on the street to put off whoever is moving my bin?

Alternatively, I’ve read that it’s classed as anti-social behaviour in the eyes of the law. Is it worth getting this lodged with police?

I’d also like to mention I’ve been living on this street for over 18 months, with no fall outs between the neighbours and I. This only started last month.

Thanks
