But he won't go to court, will he?

I'd certainly be tempted.

Yes, he would and he would break a window/door to get in if we locked him out.
That's why I won't do it.

A guy wearing a nifty (heh) pink hat came to our front door today, was trying to stuff a small handwritten note through the door.

My dad noticed the uncle's car parked two doors down, with the uncle sitting in the driver seat.

The guy went back and got in the passenger seat and they drove off. (Sad eh?)

The note said his partner and brother in law were coming to our house tonight at 4:30 to discuss the mortgage, on the condition we don't rant/rave at them (We don't do either, it's he, who does the ranting/raving)

So I guess we'll see how this goes hehe

I don't suppose you could lay your hands on some recording equipment before they arrive? I lay odds on whatever you and your Father say being misquoted and distorted.

Many mobiles have a memo/recording feature

[AdamD]

Yes, we have two mp3 players with recording ability.

We plan on using them.

[AdamD]

Looks like a no show, oh well.

Managed to get an appointment with our councils Senior Housing Adviser for the governments mortgage rescue scheme.

Although the government is phasing the scheme out and there aren't many places left, so, keep your fingers crossed for us! :P

Well, we've found out where he's moved to, it's one of his partner's houses in the same town.

Should we start sending his mail back to the senders saying he's moved out (With the correct address?)

I would be wary of doing that as you lay yourself open to your Uncle claiming you are interfering with his mail. You could "cough" have "him" redirect his mail directly to the new address so that it doesn't come to your house at all.

[AdamD]

Ahh ok

We're going to mark them as royal mail suggested (Not known at this address) and put it back in the postboxes.

[danielf]

I'm not sure if I would do any redirecting unless your uncle has told you what his new address is, or has confirmed that he's moved out. Even by returning the mail, you're saying that as far as you're concerned your uncle doesn't live there anymore. I'm not sure if that's wise when he's still on the deeds, and could decide to move back in. Returning/redirecting mail might bite you later if he decides to claim you kicked him out.

[AdamD]

Good point(S).
Thanks for the information.

[AdamD]

Looks like it's to late, had a letter today saying it's been passed onto their litigation department.

Ah well.

Thread closed at the request of the OP.
