I had a very nasty problem with nuisance calls last year... I know it might not sound that scary until you have experienced it... however, a horrid sinister, fake psycho voice and vile things said can really throw you.


I called the BT Nuisance Call Bureau, they put a trace on my phone and recommended I reported it to the police, they then managed to trace the caller and find out where they were calling from as well as the name of the person on the bill...


The police, who were also amazing, (I thought they might think I was making a fuss about nothing but no... they told me that 'mental abuse' which it comes under, is taken as seriously as physical abuse now and can receive a prison sentence of up to 6mth) caught the guy. It was someone I met once at a friends' house over dinner... he seemed fairly normal but turned out to be a nasty little screwed up nutter! He, of course denied it, but as he lives alone and the calls were made from his address, it was pretty clear who it was! The police visited and gave him a tough time and an official warning, and told him it was now on record that nuisance calls were made from his phone, and that his name, address and number were now on the nuisance calls register.

Result!!!

End of phone calls!!!

The police encouraged me to make a statement and pursue it though official channels, as generally once a person has been caught, they do not continue to abuse other people...


I recommend that you report it...

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By ctovey · Posted

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.

      Electrician - Geek electrics - Bob Barwell

      We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]

      I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
