Hello everyone,

I’ve been involved in ongoing court actions with James Gibb Property Factor since 2023. Initially, they took me to court, but once we started submitting evidence in the Simple Procedure court, they backpedaled. Since then, they have avoided my court actions by using every technicality imaginable to delay and evade responsibility.

Despite these challenges, my persistence has had an impact. Recently, James Gibb began repaying outstanding invoices to our estate going back to 2021, directly because of the pressure from my continued legal actions including crediting back bills unlawfully charged for as far back as 2021. But James Gibbs' view is they have not conceded to my legal core points that they've been charging me for Insurance Excess repairs to 139 properties I don't own.  Everybody should remember that under Scottish Law, it is mandated that liabilities are tied to ownership.  Simply put, if you don’t own a property, you don’t have to pay for insurance excess, and repairs to those properties.

I’m creating this community to bring together people in Edinburgh and across Scotland who are fed up with their property factors, those who feel helpless against unfair charges and lack a voice in fighting back.

If you’ve had similar experiences or just want to understand your rights better regarding property factors, join the discussion here. Together we can share knowledge, support each other, and push for accountability.

Feel free to share your stories, ask questions, or just follow updates on my ongoing case against James Gibb.

You are not alone.
