Hi everyone
Has some of you may remember a couple of months ago I was shopping with my granddaughter, to cut a long story short I was at the till when this man started to shove his trolley into my legs, so I pushed it away, and he throw his self on the floor and said he had hurt is back, so I get phone call and letters saying he is suing me, I even had a visit from the police :shock: .
But for your support I would have gone to pieces,I decided to put in a counter claim, anyway this worked and he has withdrawn his claim.
So I just want to say a very big THANK YOU to all of you for your support and advice.
I am so happy it is such a weight off my shoulders
Can I say a big thank you to Joseph for all his advice, you are all so kind.
Lots of love to you all
Barbara xx
Love
Barbara

    Hi there Barbara,
    I have only just joined the forum and of course, didn't know about your problem.
    I am so pleased for you. It must be such a relief.
    I live in the London suburbs but worked in central London for many years.
    This sort of thing is becoming more and more common there.
    I had a young girl jump out onto a zebra crossing in front of my car on purpose. I missed her. I was told by a passer-by that she did this on a regular basis, hoping to get compensation.
    I won't miss next time!!
    I think some Magistrates are now more aware of what is happening on our
    streets and hopefully, in a few years time, it will become known to everyone to be more aware of these scam artists.
    Take care.

    Fantastic news Barbara!!

    I hope that now you can relax and put it all behind you

    Your tactics worked didn't they?

    However, giving your name and address out to a complete stranger by the supermarket is wrong and will you make a complaint about that? You should :x

    Hello Barbara,

    I am mightily pleased for you. However it put you through a lot of misery and anguish which you could have done without.

    All my best wishes for a lovely lady,

    Hi Barbara

    Thanks is fantastic news. I am just sorry for all you have been through and had to do to get him to withdraw his claim. Just needless and endless bullying basically.

    I really hope you can put this all behind you now.

    Have a drink on me ....... hiccup

    Great News Barbara i am so please for you. I am a great believe in things happening to people who do wicked things to others. You may not be around to see it but it will happen. Makes you wonder how may times he has done this before. Hope you have a Fab evening and celebrate in what ever fashion you do (chocolates???).

    that's great news Barbara - shows that it is worth fighting for what you know is right. :D

    hope you put a formal complaint in about your name and address being given out with out your permission? I think that caused half of the unnecessary stress for you!

    Hi Steve and oneday
    Thank you so much for your kind words, I will repeat myself again , I couldnt have done it without your support, all the way through it I was thinking well what will they say on the forum if he wins....I just wanted to give you all good news.
    I am very quiet, but this has given me the confidence I needed , what do they say something good can come out of something bad.

    Not been around much, so just seen this Barb.

    The relief must be tremendous, BUT.....I imagine the pride in yourself that you feel, having stood up to this twonk, must be very gratifying.

    Well done you.......Much love.......Ange.x.
