Revolver Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 From what I heard, it was a cock-up by the landlady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah, the boiler was set up to be running 24/7 and the only methods of room temperature controls were on the radiators. Seems the boiler itself has been going on full since we moved in and was only changed when the house got repossessed and the new company sent their gas man round. Seems we should have had a thermostat linked directly to the boiler as well. But they didn't do that bit.Its an old boiler as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 id take the money, your not gaurrentied to get anymore by taking it further, you may even end up with less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 It's like deal or no deal. I don't really understand the risk, but if you've been offered more than what all your stuff was worth then taking it any further isn't going to help you out.Them paying over a grand to you two is going to be punishment enough and they will have learned their lesson.

Matt Vandart Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm not sure that I would accept the money.Have you put in claims for distress etc. you gotta see a doctor for this.What does your solicitor say?I once accepted an offer in a case and found out that I would most likely have had much more if I had stuck out and gone to court like about £15,000 more.Once they have made you an offer it's like an admission of guilt I would have thought and then it is up to the courts to decide how much you are owed, and you may end up with less.If the damaged shit cost you the money that they are offering and you havn't put in for distress/mental anguish then.........It's a hard decision.Taking them to court may highlight the problem a bit and stop it happening to someone else though.Good luck.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Surely the offer of a settlement is an admission of guilt?I'd never take the settlement, because that's the reason they offered it. F'ck it, screw 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
