A catalogue of distressing events over the past two years
The check-in report of the 1st March 2022 states that the room radiators are not working. The radiators were replaced on the 17th December 2022
How did it take over 9 months to replace them?
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Because defamation is a false statement of fact, truthful statements are, by definition, not defamatory. This standard gives the person who made the statement some leeway—as long as a statement is "substantially true," it can contain minor inaccuracies without being defamatory.

A disgusting image of the fungus/mould.
It is the same toilet as shown in the check-in report.
I put the case number of K04CL303 on the toilet before I smashed it.
I had planned to completely leave the flat as I did not wish to risk re-infection of the Infectious Colitis that I had contracted from the toilet. Which I did on the 6th February 2024. I occasionally visited the flat to collect mail. I had been informed by Jason Grey of Action Response that the toilet had to be replaced as there was no way to fit new hinges. I smashed the toilet as I did not want anybody to contract Colitis.
Please find details below of how St Marylebone Property Company operate.
St Marylebone Property Co. in their response to my counterclaim state the following under Claim 11:-
'The Defendant repeatedly broke the wc seat and the contractor attended to fix it.
It is not admitted that the wc unit required replacing nor was it the responsibility of the Claimant to do so.
It is for the Defendant to prove it it the Claimant's responsibility to replace the entire WC'
'The Defendant repeatedly broke the wc seat and the contractor attended to fix it. My response:- I first reported the problem of the toilet seat slipping on the 24th March 2022 to Andrew Stevens. As I have had a lamenectomy this causes me great pain. Every time I went to sit down it would slip. The idea that I broke it is almost comical. The fact that I reported it on the 24th March 2022 by email and that the photo taken by my son on 18th June 2023 clearly shows that the hinge has slipped because it lacks a proper seal.
It is not admitted that the wc unit required replacing nor was it the responsibility of the Claimant to do so.Current communication will be published below
To be fair to St Marylebone Property Company I have sent them an email as below: I will not publish my Counterclaim and their Response to my Counterclaim until I have given them the chance to give information that will enhance their case:-
Dear SusanDear Susan

Dear Sirs,
I was not in the office on Friday or over the weekend.
To clarify, have you returned the key to surrender your lease?
My client takes defamation against the company name very seriously and is taking advice on how to proceed. It is noted you say you have now published information.
My client is also considering its position generally in the light of your new correspondence. As you are fully aware the entire wc unit was replaced last month and indeed a grab handle was even installed at this time on 11th March 2024. Hence you comment about the wc having the same marks is not understood.
It appears that you are now disputing that work has been done to repair the wc. Hence attached herewith is the workman's report with photographic evidence that the work was completed.
Kind regards,
for St Marylebone Property Company Ltd
