ok thanks

[quote user="Sunday Driver"] ertificat de cession.  This is the three part "notification of change of owner" document.  Three copies, one to the buyer, one for yourself, you must send the third copy to your prefecture within 15 days.     [/quote]   Just to confirm - should it be me or the buyer who sends the 3rd part of the certificate de cession to the prefecture?   Thanks

Is cash still ok for a lower price sale? I am selling mine tomorrow for around 1400 euros and the bloke wants to pay cash only.

they work for me too...ok so looks like i'm not the only one. I'll have to call them again. There isn't much forthcoming when I call them though.

I can't open those links for some reason. Yes, it's a cable TV provider. Apparently many people in France had not received their deposits back last year (25000 people or so). Hopefully someone will have heard of them and already got their deposit back.

I'm sure plenty of people have heard of it and are using it. I'm hoping it's just taking some time :)

Hello, I am leaving france and have cancelled my subscription with Noos by sending a registered letter which they have received. However, I have not received a response from them with regards to sending the receiver back and getting my deposit back. Has anyone already gone through this process? I have heard from a few people that there have been problems for most people trying to get the deposit back. I don't get through on their telephone lines and they don't seem to want to reply to the registered letter. I am actually leaving very soon so am hoping to resolve this asap.    

Hello Dee&Tom,   I got it , thanks very much...sounds like he will do a great job.

I think you're right...I got quotes for a 2 day van hire picking up in Strasbourg and dropping in Calais next day for 780 euros..

thanks for the info everyone.. I will try the companies and nos. that you gave me... Re the van....another colleague of mine left last year and had to drive the van back to France as they couldn't leave it in UK. Like you say they don't seem to do one way deals.

Hello, Just wondering if anyone is moving back to the UK from the Alsace area this month and would like to share the costs/van (whatever option turns out best). I'm moving to London from Strasbourg at the end of May and the quotes I got so far from removal companies have been fairly steep. Other plan is to just hire a van and move my stuff myself.

thanks..i'll give it a go

Sharing a van could be an option..is anyone else leaving end of May in the Alsace area? I'll probably be dumping some excess stuff in my parents house...sure they'll be delighted. I am trying to sell all of my furniture so it's unlikely I'll have too much anyway. Sue - do you remember which company you used?  

I am leaving France at the end of the month after almost 5 years in Strasbourg. I wanted to ask what other people who have left have found to be the best/cheapest option in terms of bringing all their stuff back. I am moving back to London so will probably be swapping living alone in a F3 flat for a small bedroom in a shared flat in London. I will try to sell all of my furniture but that still leaves me with a  lot of stuff to bring back. So far I have had quotes from removal companies charging between £1200 and £2500. Another option is just hiring a van and driving it back myself which would be cheaper but would then need to drive back from London to Calais so that the van would be dropped off in France. I was told that using a shipping company who would basically wrap the stuff and send it over would be a cheap option but even for that I am being quoted the same kind of prices as the removal companies. Does anyone have any tips from their experiences from moving to or from France? When I first moved here the company subsidized the move but I need to finance this one myself.

Excellent..thanks for the info.

thanks a lot for the info. Do you know if a printed black and white copy of the non-gage and the certificate de cession are valid? Just that I only have a black and white printer...I guess it's fine but I know they can be strict with the details.

Hello, I'm trying to sell my car before I move back to England and was trying to work out what I need before I can make any sale. From the other posts I see that I need the following: - Carte grise (which I need to cut off the bottom corner of and give it to the buyer) and marked "Vendu le ****" and signed by me. - Non-gage certificate - 3 copies (1 for me, 1 for the buyer, 1 for the department (who gives it to the department?)) - A certificate de cession - which I need to sign, as does buyer. Then I must send this to the prefecture. - The controle technique document (less than 6 months old). Give to buyer.   Is there anything else I need to do before making the sale?    

Hello everyone, Thanks for the tips...I have since managed to negotiate it down to 7 weeks...and this is ok with my new employer in England too. I still wonder what the legal situation is. I read about the two months notice for anyone working longer than 2 years. Everyone I spoke to at work insists that 3 months is standard. This is even stranger seeing as I have only been in the job for 3 months (although I have been with the company for 4 and a half years). Although I'm a project manager I do not have any staff reporting to me or any projects beyond the next 2 weeks. Aly - I guess I'm lucky that I didn't have the same manager as you :). The outcome for me is good as both sides are happy.  

Hi Clair, thanks for this. This is the problem though...I think they are bending the law and claiming an imaginary 3 month notice period. I do not have a  particularly senior position in the company...junior project manager. I have no staff reporting to me...yet they claim I should work the notice period. I would like to know if they can legally insist on this. From what I have found on the internet I can only see that standard ones are between 4 weeks and 3months..my company claim they never write the notice period in the contract as it is written in French law...yet I do not believe this to be true.

I have a problem in that I have found a job in UK and am currently working in France with an alleged 3month notice period. However, the company in UK wants me to start sooner.  I am British.. I would like to know what my rights are in France. I cannot see anything in the contract at work. It only states an agreed reasoable amount of time from both sides. HR told me that they don't need to state a time as the law states that it is 3 months so they don't need to cover that in the contract. I found a note on the US Embassy website saying that notice periods in France are between 1 and 3 months. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I would like to know what my rights are. It seems that the company is using a 3months notice period which has never been written into contracts and may not be legal. 3months notice would cause me to lose the opportunity in UK. Or does anyone know a good source where I can find the answer to this question?

cheers for the info..

Anyone know if this is being shown on french TV today and , if so, which channel?

Does anyone know which channel this will be broadcast on today in France? I can't find it amongst the NOOS or Canal+ channels listings.   Cheers

cheers for the info. I'd better take a look at getting that package then..it's just there was never any mention of it being removed...it was working the last month or so and now i see no sign of it, nor did i see any adverts mentioning it.

Hi, Does anyone know what has happened to the football channel on Noos (cable)? I had it on channel 908 the last 2 years and it has suddenly disappeared off the list of channels..the last one is now 907. Not available to select at all..just doesn't appear..goes from 907 back to channel 1. No warning nothing. I'm in Strasbourg by the way..maybe there are different versions. It used to be called English Premier League..has a new name now...TPS Football I think.
