Dear Colleague,We have been advised by Linleys Farm Cottages to beware of a family who may currently be looking for holiday accommodation in this area. The Linleys have finally secured an eviction order after the family refusedto move for 11 and a half months - without paying. Details as below.We are Bath Tourism members and this is just a quick email to warn you of a family who move into a holiday cottage for a week and then don't leave. it has taken nearly a year and various trips to court to finallyget an eviction notice. They have nowhere to go and are busy phoning round trying to find somewhere. They currently owe us over £15,000 + legal costs which of course we will never see. Their name is Fraser butthis changes and they are South African. May I suggest you put round a warning to all property owners. If you would like more info, please letme know.Further details received as follows:The family come across as very pleasant, educated people and has 4 sometimes 5 people in it - Keresa Fraser in her fifties, Luc Fraser in his sixties, Johnny (son) in his thirties and Chiara (daughter) about 20. They are South African and Keresa claims to be from Burmaoriginally. They came from Cumberwell Cottages .... Before that they were at Orchardleigh Cottages in Frome and I believe it took them well over a year to get them out - the owner was so angry he made them bankrupt but of course bankruptcy is discharged after a year. They payfor the week up front and then that is it and for us they have had 11 and a half months free accommodation. The other thing is that she changes names, although always keeping the first names so far. She has also been known to use the title Dr. I hope this helps and thank godit's nearly over for us apart from the clearing up!! If anyone would like further details, please contact Han Warr atLinleys Farm Cottages on LINLEYSFARM@aol.com or 01249 715578.Best regardsFiona HumphreysCommercial ManagerBath Tourism Plus

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2008/02/29/crime-family-matriarch-mags-haney-gets-out-of-prison-86908-20335103/never heard of her down here....thankfully ..lol. However , there are always similar people where ever you are . As for people refusing to get out of a house and not paying rent .....if it were my house they would be only to pleased to leave FAST . Their choice would be to walk out or get carried out on a stretcher....these ba**ards rely on good natured people that will follow the law etc etc ...I am not one of those people . If they crap on me, TSHTF , I go mental. I grew up being taught there is only one way to beat a bully ..kick seven colours of crap out of them ...it works , they leave you alone afterwards. The same goes for the crap that does the sort of thing talked about here. cheers Russ
