    Mortgage advice

    in French Finance

    Posted

    We have a customer who is going to use us , they have financial problems, they are behind with their hypotech, nearly 8 months, the bank have given them 8 days to pay the arrears before starting legal proceedings. ( they dont have anything to pay at the moment )These customers dont speak much french and have asked my advice but I dont know the system here well enough.

    1 - is there an equivelient to the citezens advice in france, preferably one that speaks english ( if not they will have to get an interpreteur )

    2 - Presumably after the 8 days legal proceedings will start, how long is it likley to be before reposesion of their house and is there any way of going back, say for exaple after proceedings had started they found the money to pay off the arrears.

     

    Any advice is welcome to pass on ; I have done lots of searches on the matter for them and have never come accros this situation before

    Many thanks

    Home wanted for German Shepherd Dog

    in Pets

    Posted

    We( foster home) are looking for a permanent home for Ben.
    He is a German Shepherd Dog, uncastrated ( though castration can be arranged )
    He is 6, very good with children and cats but needs to go to a home with no other male dogs. He is fine with females.
    Ben had to leave his original owner at the begining of this year due to ill health, since then he has stayed with me at Sunfleurs Holidays for Dogs , we re homed Ben with a great family but unfortunately their existing dog didn't take to another dog in its territory so Ben came back to us. we then re homed him with a lady who new GSD's well, but unfortunately after a month of having Ben she put him into kennels - Le Chenil de le Bois. Ben has now been here for over 3 months.
    His existing owner cannot take him back, she has moved to the uk and has asked if Ben cannot be found a home within the next to weeks to have him put down.

    I know Ben very well, he has a typical GSD nature, idealy he would go to a family who know the breed well. Please if you interested get in touch with
    Sharon at le Chenil de le bois 05 53 60 73 11

    Bens tattoo number is 2CND379
    He is up to date with all his vaccines but doesn't have a passport.
    We have all his pedigree papers.
    Bens origal owner can be contacted for references as well as my self, Nina and Sharon who is now looking after Ben

    Please help us give Ben a happy ending to 2008

    Regards

    How to fold your towels if they are on display

    in B&B/Chambres d'Hôtes Owners

    Posted

    Sorry to keep you all waiting so long

    Fold the towel in half widthways - making sure the wrong side of the towel is inside.

    Fold in half again, the edges of the towel should all be together.

    Fold in half again to make a square, if its a bath sheet then fold into 3.

    Store so that you can see the one rounded edge towards you.

    Once done like this you will always have to fold towels like this

    Good luck

    New central heating solution

    in House Renovations

    Posted

    We live in a big charentaise house that is cold every winter, we have oil fired radiators, they are all old except for one, this heats the room that it is in very well.  My question is could we clean out the existing radiators (somehow ) and therefor get a better heat source in the room, or would this be a waste of time and really we need to replace all the rads with new ones.

    Thanks
