No chance of him getting that - the deal is, as always, if I borrow it, and
then something comes through, he sends it back with my details... which is
only right and fair, given he's been good enough to lend it to me in the
first place, and it's my ***, actually committed or otherwise, that needs
to be resolved.

Just spoken to him - they've not had the courtesy to reply to his complaint
he never received the allegedly sent original NIP that he enclosed with the
returned 'final notice' filled in with my details, but they've managed to
send an NIP to me.

Gonna concentrate on Pepipoo, as it seems one of the more coherent ones.

It doesn't seem to focus to well specifically on safety vans though.

It was a 'safety' van, so run by civilian monkeys.

As for a lawyer... they cost money - can't get legal aid for this sort of
thing, not sure if you ever could, tbh.
