not everyone can fight the fight u chose to fight... The choice you make is admirable but the stakes you gamble with are high.. I wouldn't walk your road, I couldn't risk losing my home. In all honesty, Patty, . . taking on C&RT with any sort of challenge to their corruption and shortcomings really is NOT the high risk strategy that most people see it as, . . unless you push things to the absolute limit and refuse to back down under any circumstances. It took something a little over 5 years of flat refusals on my part to buy one of their fictitious "Rivers only Licences" to provoke them into the rash, ill-considered and totally unlawful action they eventually took on 22 October last year, . . and they were still sending me 'Final Warning' letters up until only a matter of days before turning up with a Criminal Boat Services tow-boat and the undercover pseudo-Ninja 'Bailiffs'. I would never expect, or even attempt to encourage, anyone to risk pushing any sort of dispute with C&RT to the extent that I have. What I would say to each and every one of C&RT's 'customers' as part owners of the inland waterways that C&RT are systematically destroying - the canals were 'nationalized' and taken into "public ownership" in 1949 - is that it's their duty to protest against and to register their disapproval of both C&RT's lousy performance and the appalling, and unlawful, conduct that has accompanied it. Refusing to pay a licence fee for services that are not being provided - by a private limited company - seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable way of drawing the Government's attention to the failings of the destructive and unregulated monster it created in 2012 post the abolition of the (nationalized) British Waterways Board. I really hope that u get the end result u are fighting for.... CRT do not seem to act in the way they should depriving people of their homes is something that is shameful...I just hope they will see this and stop

CRT do not seem to act in the way they should depriving people of their homes is something that is shameful...I just hope they will see this and stop Thank you for your good wishes, Patty, but I'm afraid that there's realistically only a very slim chance of seeing this rotten to the core so-called Trust, and the miscreants responsible for the way it operates, consigned to the dustbins of history where it and they so deservedly belong. The essential truth that must never be lost sight of, however, is that the C&RT depriving people of their homes by means of the calculated abuse of legislation enacted back in 1983 for no other reason than to protect British Waterways from retrospective claims by the owners of derelict and abandoned boats that had been removed and disposed of, is an awful lot more than simply a moral outrage. It is, by every test that the law and the Courts would apply, were they ever to be afforded the opportunity in the face of consistent and well practised deception on the part of C&RT's lawyers, . . utterly and wholly illegal.

"Halcyon Daze" was ILLEGALLY taken away after some FIVE YEARS of refusing to buy a fictitious so-called "Licence" that has NEVER, EVER been legitimized, or even mentioned, under ANY STATUTE OR OTHER ENACTMENT related in any way to the river waterways for the time being under the control of the C&RT.

So presumably anyone following your advice would end up in the same situation. It's not very good advice then, is it?

Not unless they were every bit as stupid as you are, and neglected to read the rest of the post ! You've quoted the last paragraph out of context, disregarding the fact that it took some five years of refusing to buy one of the 'Mickey Mouse' Rivers only Licences that C&RT have no powers or authority to issue BEFORE they performed the unlawful seizure of the boat that was my sole residence, and at the same time illegally evicted me from it.

Well, the good news is that if what they did was illegal, you'll get the boat back.
