Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

:LOL: here I go :ninja: I'm joking of course I would never do anything illegal...but I have wished lately I had the guts to just cut the dam thing but that would make me just as bad as Virgin Media and my selfish and very arrogant neighbour and that to me is a :nono: no no as I would never bring myself down to there extremely low standards.:rolleyes:

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

And you'd risk getting a conviction for criminal damage.

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

think the court might well see the mitigation mind you I would have done it "accidentally" from the off once the neighbour shown his disrespect

as I say hire a lad to do the garden and "forget" to tell him/her

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

:wtf: Like I said I would never do that, if I was going to that I would have done it in December when I came home and saw what they had done to my front garden a total mess with horrible green cable laid in shallow ground. If you had read the thread you would have seen I was going down the legal route...

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

:LOL: Who knows what the future holds we were planning to hard landscape that area anyway.:notme: but I do agree with your comment...about the court as we have been told this will could put future buyers off if we ever did decide to sell or they could use this as a bargaining tool to lower the price :eek: I know I would be put off because I would not to buy a property that could be dug up any time through a fault and to add insult to injury not even for a service that they are supplying you nor were ever given by you to lay there cable in the first place as only the owner of a property can grant a wayleave not the neighbour.. In the deeds it says only electric,gas and sewage has the rights to go onto said property not Virgin Media..

The criminal damage here has been done to my property by Virgin Media as they came onto my property without permission to lay cable to supply neighbour and used my land. Oh for your information I can remove the cable but I have to give them the opportunity to rectify there mistake by law. I am not getting at you cookie 365 just totally annoyed with Virgin Media and totally justified at being so...

Mitigating factors affect sentencing, not conviction.

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

What would they convict for removing cable in garden that was laid illegally in my garden get real and don't make me laugh, I am giving them every opportunity to remove it and of course within the law and if they don't then tough Bring it on I say because i'm getting angry with them now as I thought it would have been sorted out by now. I have to give them 28 day's and then I will be doing what tizmeinnit suggests and remove it and I don't mean by shoving a spade through it. I will not be braking the law trust me even my lawyer has said I will be able to remove the cable at Virgin Media expense and a letter was sent stating this and believe me it will be removed one way or another either by who I employ to do it or Virgin Media themselves. It is called cable trespass and totally illegal if the owner of the land did not give permission, and believe me I did not... FACT only the owner of land can grant a way leave for this not a very stupid neighbour...I also enclosed a boundary survey to the tw**s at Virgin media...maybe that is why there top gun is phoning me personally now they know they made a big boo boo here...unfortunately on my land..I had to get a lawyer as Virgin Media would not deal with this matter as they referred it to their legal department not me, I think they did this in the hope I would go away sorry but had to disappoint them as it is not in my nature to get walked over and anyway it was the principle of the whole matter now...


The only services that are allowed are for necessity electric gas and water as this is stated on the title deeds not virgin media cables..

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

i would bet that virgins legal team are sat scratching their heads at the moment not knowing what to do, do they cut off the neighbours service and risk legal action / paying compensation to him or do they sit and hope you forget about it.!!
good luck

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

Removing it from your property is one thing, putting a spade through it is another ;)

Do what your lawyer tells you, not what anyone on an internet forum tells you, me included.

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

I think you will find I said joking about the spade but I will be doing as my Lawyer instructs as I am a Law abiding citizen :notme: it was Virgin media and my neighbour :LOL:

Well that's never going to happen and I do not care for my neighbour for reasons obvious nor do I give a second thought for Virgin Media paying compensation to them, but I do not think they would offer as they could have routed through their garden or up their driveway but seem to have been instructed to lay cable on my property. Not my problem where they put it. I just want it removed from my property. ;)

Well that's the Lawyers letter away :bsmack: Oh Happy days :p: I'm going for a wee vodka and irn bru with ice now :beer: cheers :D

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

Classy :D

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

putting a spade through it facilitates removing it

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
 

You could have just been playing spade throwing sports in your own garden, and it just happened to accidentally land on a cable you didn't know was there, because it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
