Another update,
Started court action, BT have suddenly found a solicitor to deal with it.
They seem to want to drag it out, they have entered their contractors as part 20 defendants, these people had untill yesterday 2/9/10 to respond to the court.
From what I can understand of the BT solicitors intention is that they intend to deny responsibility for anything thats mentioned. They insist that I should show proof of my claim [good job I followed advice from members about plenty of pics]. Most of the paperwork I received from them seems to concern them being able to claim through this court action from their contractors if the court should find against them with my claim.
I am not positive but they seem to me to be piggybacking little me's claim as a way of not having to pay out anything to anyone. Very impressive for a big company I'm sure.
Why they couldnt deal with their contractors after the case is decided is beyond me.
It is a worry that these people through experience know exactly what they are doing and they are manouvering me into a position whereby they can stitch me up. Still I'll know more next week one way or another, fingers crossed.
