Fixing faults on sold vehicle

I sold a car to a buyer recently; however, it appears that there were faults with the vehicle. I have offered to repair these, but the buyer is demanding a refund. What action can I take?

Flat leaking but been told to claim against council rather than neighbour

My neighbour’s roof has caused my flat to become flooded. My insurance company have said that I should be claiming against the council who owns the building because my neighbour does not have insurance. I am not sure if the council are to blame. How should I proceed?

Flatmate is failing to pay the bills as agreed

I am having problems with my flatmate with regard to bills. There are three of us with one account holder who is supposed to pay gas, electricity and television bills monthly - this has not been the case. We have found out that the bills are in arrears with only one payment having been made, and our account-holding flatmate is being very evasive. What can I do?

Flat owners won't assist after storm

I would like to make a claim with regards to damages caused by a storm that has affected my flat. This has become an issue because my flat is amongst other flats in the building and no one else appears to be doing anything about the issue. A contractor has attended to start the job but I have to wait for other people’s insurers before anything begins. I am finding this difficult because only myself and one other flat is directly affected. The damage costs are approximately £700 and I am concerned about any legal or financial implications if I instruct contractors to come out and do the work.

Flat tyre after hitting pothole

I hit a pot hole in the road which caused a flat tyre. The nuts were so tight on the wheel of my car that I could not get them off manually. RAC assistance could not get one of the nuts off. My car is now inactive. The garage is happy to sort the problem out with regard to the nuts. What other action can I take for who is responsible?
