I have thanks...Executor intentionally damaging Estate's property when there are creditors............poor advice IMO

You clearly haven't as he's said that the creditors have no interest in the van.

No he said the "bank" had no interest in the van......in fact I'm not even sure he declared it's existence to them.

it's moot now as he emptied out over the weekend and has long since left so the thread can be closed.

Caravan / site contract is nothing to do with the bank.......if bank are not pursuing loan then, given you are Executor as well as the beneficiary. and the estate is already in debt, I can't see any problems in giving the caravan to the farmer in lieu of his charges and as full and final settlement......who is going to complain?

This ^^^

appears to be one of the more sensible posts on the subject, the op needs to have a face to face (remember them ?) conversation with the farmer.

If the farmer still insists on trying to obtain money/fees etc then the op can play the "estate is empty card"

Apology accepted....except he only posted a little while ago (14.26 today to be precise) and hasn't left nor contacted the farmer yet and told him the score so don't see how you have been put in charge and want the thread closed.

I think he probably meant left the caravan rather than the thread!

Thanks again for all the advice. Much appreciated and will update as and when on the outcome

Then adds VAT on!

... but only 2% VAT not 20% VAT according to that bill

My folks had a van for years on a site. No contract, wrongly allowing people to live in them full time (apart from the 1 month compulsory vacancy in January when they'd go to Portugal or Spain for a month). Also, as mentioned above, charges for as much as possible like disconnecting water, and reconnecting again, profiteering on electricity supply, etc. Elderly (mostly) taken advantage of.

303 - 1 is not 303, either.

This is what happens here. Its not a residential site but a holiday site so one month compulsory break in February where the site shuts. Apart from one caravan where they get to still live on site under the title of "Site Wardens". Load of bks but again, who is going to argue!

[Janluke]

I think the 11 months licence is fairly common on holiday sites(as opposed to park homes) and is as much to do with planning permission/licencing rather than profiteering

The bill is £2500.00 plus 20% VAT, total £3000.00

The £60.60 is a seperate bill for the Gas.

Electric?

And separate.

[Freddie Fitch]

Ask for a VAT invoice as a VAT registered trader is obliged to supply one.

Well just to update, letter was sent tracked a few weeks ago and recieved next day.

Not heard a dicky bird since. Rent is not due until today but wouldn't think he would leave a response until May.

One would assume no news is good news. I'll update again if I hear anything

[PurpleTurtle]

Good luck with this OP, hopefully the last you hear of it. It has certainly put me off ever owning a static caravan!

Is this the farmer by any chance?
