[Yorkshireman]

Thanks,i need all the help i can get,i will listen to their goodwill gesture and take it from there.

Might be worth getting a dictaphone or borrowing one so you can record the conversation

Make it a lot harder for them to go back on their bulshit later

That's certainly a step in the right direction Yorkshireman, so pleased for you that there now at long last seems to be some progress.

I'd echo recording anything offered to you, if you do make notes . . . get them to sign as being an accurate representation of your conversation.

Good luck!

I already have one taped conversation that caught there lies,i received a letter of apology.

Many people overlook the smartphone as a recording device. It does the job remarkably well, with the right (free) app.

[Yorkshireman]

I just used the voice recorder on my mobile

[Yorkshireman]

I need your opinions please as i don't know which way to turn,bearing in mind i have been fighting for 4 years,i have photo evidence and a taped conversation of the lies they told me,the fact they have done a sound test which supposedly passed,the NHBC backs them and they say they will get there lawyers involved if i take it further and i can't afford one.They have agreed to visit me to talk about a goodwill gesture but i do not know how much they will agree to.
If you was in this situation what would you do please.

[Greigster]

They obviously know they are in the wrong otherwise they would not even consider a goodwill gesture. I am sure I have asked you before but do you have any legal cover with your house insurance or car insurance or even your bank account? Are you a member of a trade union, as they sometimes offer legal advice.
What sort of figure would you like?
Perhaps get this thread moved to the members only section if it is not already there.

Depending on the amount you would feel is fair, you could consider the small claims fast track. You only have to prove "beyond reasonable doubt" that they are at fault.

You definitely need some professional advice.

Have a look here :- www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?56-General-Consumer-Issues
and start a thread making sure that you include the words "Wimpey Homes" in the title along with some other descriptive words as this makes sure that it goes onto facebook and others along with hits in Google search for maximum coverage.
There are some good people, some with legal backgrounds on CAG. I am sure you will get more expert advice from there.

Good luck

The media is definately the way to go, contact that wee bald bloke that gets in there faces.

[Yorkshireman]

Good luck yorkie hope you get something sorted

Can you get your neighbours to be in on that day making all the usual noises, then they would hear what you have to put up with. I would be embarrassed to know that everything could be heard, especially using the loo.

Give the neighbours a 2 litre bottle of water and get them to slowly tip it down the loo when the Wimpey people are there also give them 2 potatoes to drop down the loo after the water, preferably groaning a bit as they do. You could send them a pre written text when the time to do it would be right.
