The affair has not moved much recently. I started to see another lawyer, I'll see if she's better.

I went to London for 5 days last week with my sister, and it was very hot and sunny there. Walking, green parks, museums, Portobello and Camden... Got pics, but I'll post some another time.

Sorry to read this Krys. I had some similar problems with my previous house but with far smaller financial repercussions for me Eventually I managed to get the guy who did a crap job on the technical check up to pay for parts of the damages and I ended up being screwed for something like 500 euro's only. Biggest problem in the whole things wasn't the law, which is quite clear on the fact that potential buyers shoudl be informed of all these kinda of issues, but was proving the previous owners actually knew something was wrong. Even though it was pretty obvious there was no way they wouldn't have known, proving that was quite another issue.

YOu live and learn, it just sucks big time when that comes at great (financial & emotional) expenses. Hang in there and come have a drink in Groningen this summer to forget you problems, cause that's the in vogue thing to do nowadays

Last smiley was rather very ironic.

I'm not depressed, but my last child illusions on the world of adults are now gone. I'll make my best to have justice triumph, but deep inside I feel I'll get screwed in the very end, whatever the ending.

You ever get the feeling that these awesome words sound even better in french? Like they say in the Matrix, the French language is a great one to swear in...

All that aside, I'm positive things will come right for you Krys. Please don't lose the faith!

I'd like to think that your years in CDZ has taught you two things...

Never give up and always be an asshole if you have tank armies...

Yeah PP, maybe I should come this summer... Will see. About my problem, you're quite right on target : everyone knows what everyone knew ; the problem is proving stuff and also those little text annoyances you find in contracts.

Meli, I'm making it a habit now not to give up, but it's hard. And I think I'll be an asshole anyway, despite only having spearmen on my side.

Hey there. I finally managed to get me Internet in my new appartment.

So I'll probably post more often from now on. Except that I'm still not playing Civ. Except that I'll go on holidays in a few weeks' time.

But yeah I'm connected again.

Posting is good. How's the appartment?

Socrates · 15-07-2008, 23:48

Appartment is getting slightly better. The affair is going very slow. Might give you an update next year probably.

As a mod in your own forum, you can see the IP from which people post, and better, a hint at their Internet provider.

The old woman who sold me the appartment... died last July, she wasn't even aged 80 ! Better : 2 of her 3 children aren't responsible for their lives (seriously handicaped), which means this is getting really complicated. On top of that, the agency owner has written lies about me in a letter to the old woman's family and to my lawyer.

I've just received a draft from my lawyer for the "assignation en justice" (can't be arsed to look for the translation, basically the letter in which I officially expose my problem and cite the guys I attack). I'll only address the notary, the rest can fight without me.

Her dieing must complicate things somewhat, would you now be claiming off her estate? The agency owner could end up helping your side if you have proof that what was written are lies. I doubt that the court would look kindly on that sort of thing. Best of luck, sounds like things are moving now though.

Affair still going slow : lots of papers to gather, etc...

What's more annoying to me at the moment is that I twisted my ankle while practicing volleyball 2 weeks ago (not sure of the term, but basically my foot got hurt when I ended my jump). It appears the injury isn't that important, but I still got a 3-week notice. Can't walk properly (got walking sticks and stuff), and this sucks. Looking forward the end of that.
