Transfers blocked?

Post by Bahia Feliz »

Colleague of mine had his transfer agreed(to Weymouth) Sold his house,found a place to live in Weymouth,now they have told him that RM have blocked all transfers!
So now the house sale is off and the transfer is off!

Any chance of sueing?

I'm not an expert but there must be a legal case here?
I spend my life trying to fit in but I always end up standing out.

When you say "it was agreed" exactly how agreed was it? Did he have written confirmation or was he just going on a verbally tacit agreement?

'RM have blocked all transfers', my arse!

Since when? I should get your colleague to question above who ever told him this.

Have you got a sick record for the last 1 year? Usually some delivery office who accept people coming over from their previous block the transfer because your a risk to the area budget.
