| The system in Northern Cyprus beggars belief and sometimes makes beggars out of innocent people. It's a rotten system that needs remedial action , and quickly. |

| Don't worry too much folks, she is mobilising the troops and boy has she got support from some very powerful and unlikely sources. Not content with taking her villa in a violent and cowardly way, living in it at weekends, despite saying they need to take it to recoup their money, they now want to 'frighten' the proverbial out of her. What is they say, never pick on someone who has nothing else to lose? |

| What you fail to understand blade, and I cannot blame you for it, they took the Writ against me, if I do not defend, it will be heard anyway and I will have no input and they can basically ask for whatever they like, I will have say in the matter. Betyterto at least have a fighting chance, heaven only knows what they will be awarded if I dont challenge the Writ. |

| I can't see anything in the article shown in http://northcyprusfreepress.com/2012/02/10/is-malicious-prosecution-illegal-in-the-trnc/ to give the bank a reason to sue, it gives the impression that the writ is perhaps just to stop Pauline reporting the eviction of an 89 year old World War 2 Spitfire pilot, in my opinion. It also gives the impression that if Pauline was to publish an article to show how to boil an egg she might be in trouble, again in my opinion. |

AKFINANS BANK deserve the publicity they and only them have achieved over the last couple of years! now if you want to talk about Akan Kursat or his father Talat for their previous activities, just let me know |

| Do you remember this? http://www.cyprus44.com/forums/26554.asp They are running away from the trial like hell but they have almost reached the end of the road. No more excuses any more. Either they start the trial and incur more costs or withdraw with full costs. So to start a case against somebody is very easy specially if the main aim is to harass but winning is something else. For a start how are they going to prove the idendity of the writer on a site on the internet? Do they have the know-how? I doubt it. ismet |

| The bank, who I will not mention by name were insistent my current address was given in to the court on the 19 December 2011, the Writ for libel is dated the 22nd December 2011 but was not served on me until the 9th February 2012. Three days elapsed between them knowing my address and going to court and arranging for the Writ, it surprises me it took so long for it to be served. With a little effort, they could have totally decimated my Christmas too. They have already totally decimated my life. |

| Ismet, unfortunately they confiscated Pauline's laptop and no doubt will find emails containing the articles on that. I imagine that was the reason for taking it in the first place. Although I'm not sure whether the confiscation took place after the articles were published 21 months ago. |

| I have no idea what you are talking about ismet, who is Pauline Read? From memory I remember something in the press about Pauline Read having her laptop taken in mid October 2010. Surely since she probably did not write them, they would not be on there. |

| Brilliant Ismet! An opportunity to explain the plaintiff's actions over the last few years, including an attempt to run down her partner which was not investigated and which evidence submitted to the court MIGHT show the plaintiff was involved. |

| Of course, as everyone knows, I am a bit thick, but did Pauline have to pay the K5 costs for their lost application for an interim injunction, even though I have read somewhere there is an Appeal pending and why did they pick on Pauline to pay these costs and were the two police men there to cart her off to jail if she didnt pay the money there and then. Is that how it works? Just curious. |

| Polly, Just to dampen your curiosity: 1. An appeal does not stop execution unless the district court or the appeal court approves an application to that effect. Normally the courts turn down such applications. 2. The defendant who was awarded costs can take out a writ against any plaintiff or plaintiffs at their pleasure. Then the others can be held responsible pro rata by the one who had to pay. 3. If she did not pay, the bailiff could look around the house and confiscate anything worth any money. That can be sold at a public auction. If nothing to confiscate the writ is returned unsatisfied by the bailiff. 4. Then the next option is an attemp to get an order for payment by monthly installments in accordance with her earnings. If she is a housewife with no income and presumably supported by her partner, then the court rejects the application for payment by installments. Quite often such applications can turn into a cat and mouse game. The only time an arrest is in question is when she is ordered to pay every month and she fails to do so. Then an application to court is in order for imprisonment for disobeying a court order. If she pays at that stage she does not go to prison at all. ismet |

| I have just caught sight of an article by Marion Stuart about the electricity being used as a weapon on K5 see Cyprus Start page 5 - the house that is allegedly Pauline Reads but now occupied by the bank family is the cause of all their problems. It is a good job there are no railroads here, I have visions of a maiden being tied to the track, a speeding train and a cowboy country bank manager twirling his moustache, and saying 'sign or else' oooer. |

| And the prize for the most ongoing court cases goes to: A bank. 1 main case with K5 1 Appeal date awaited 7 Eviction case hearings 1 case for not allowing access to the telephone company 1 Libel case. What a busy boy their Advocate is. Now would that be the same Advocate, who is not a member of the English bar, not a member of the RoC bar, not a current ISO9001 certificate holder, not a very nice man, is/was a shareholder in Aga Development alongside Gary Robb and has an EU arrest warrant outstanding. Obviously eminently qualified to practice law in the TRNC |

| No polly you missed nothing you are correct! as always There DOES NOT seem to be any end to the corruption in your adopted Country, for me the sadness is, victims still can't see through the haze of sunshine......... Not one person will take responsibility in the Government for their actions over the last 10 years! It's creepy, and I thank god every day for my little house in the rain! The TRNC deserves to be exactly where it is "One Third of an Island cut off by the rest of the world" except for Turkey, full of ex pats fleeing from the law in various country's throughout the world! the corruption will eventually self implode, (you can read it now on this site) meanwhile summer will come, the sun will shine and everything in La La Land will be beautiful! I don't agree with Embargoed, It needs to stay cut off, like Alcatraz so everyone in the civilised world knows exactly where the criminals are from the Government down............. |

| philbailey I have no idea who Pauline is phil but I have not read anything that says that she has had her property returned. Indeed, I sort of recollect reading somewhere, that she might think some child could have received it as a present. I am sure she would be happy to know it went to a good home...........! I must admit that I was shocked to read that it might have been taken illegally, surely not in the TRNC. |

| Really Cathy I think you should give us a link to that article, I dont remember reading it. But since you refer fo an article written by someone called Pauline Read saying that, you can surely direct us all to it. It is, I think easy to refer to something out of context and am sure that is not your intention.............. I guess from that comment we can take it the Afrika Gazetesi has been well and truly read by certain people. Correct me if I am wrong, isn't Pauline Read being sued for her alleged writing about a certain Bank and not parenthood? |

| Ms 62. My name would not appear as I withdrew my membership of the group when the removal of my post took place. My annoyance is because not only was my post removed but also a comment to it. So 2 people where censored. I am aware that you are busy and my reply on here to your Ms 59 does stand. Your Ms 61, I do not know who the person was and my post was removed without explanation by an unknown. Perhaps the 4 moderators should review the post removal policy. I am happy now that you are aware of this issue and to save you dealing with this here there is no need, unless you wish but my point remains. I am not against your cause in fact I applaud you for you tenacity and courage but I cannot stand arbitary censorship in any form. |

| The originator of the facebook page tells me that the page is secular, apolitical. The only posts he remembers being removed were from GC agitators or advertisers. Please inbox one of the admin and explain your feelings. I feel your post could have beeena casualty of a mistake. You are right censorship is ugly and only necessary in extreme cases. You certainly do not come over as anything other than a rational normal person. I am sure the whole team at STBINC are sorry and would welcome you and your comments back. |

| Maybe for the sake of the members on 44 who might be unaware of why this facebook started here is a reminder. Least we forget it could happen again any day to those who feel that because their builders are stating that their deeds are ready if you hand over another £5,000 or so ! How do you know you are ever safe from not knowing the truth until it is to late ? Yes some are happy and safe with their deeds but many many are still being told '' the deeds are ready '' Who know's ? ! http://postimage.org/image/gj7rvheff/ Spider,X |

| Stop the Blackmail in North Cyprus Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta Blackmail Durdur We call on the government in kktc to sto the blackmail of property buyers it is common practice for landowners / property developers / vendors to demand money over and above the contract price in return for them signing over the kochan this must be stopped it is blackmail and is ilegal in the rest of the civilised world . This is the statement of the group and why it was set up. For the people to gain support and help from each other and for the government to be knowledgeable to the wrong doings of some individual builders and banks. Some say this is just the beginning of future nightmares for many more pensioners living here. Will you be the next victim ? Spider,X |

| Well said spider. I hope there will be no more victims for their sake. But remember the cost of speaking out allegedly is between 50.000 and 100,000 lira, how ironic that the original debt borrowed by Yuksel Yilmaz and Abdurrahman Guney was the upper figure of 100.000lira, All I can say is heaven help Pauline (whoever she is) if they are looking for a repeat performance, i.e turn ing 100,000 into 2,077,000 lira. |

| Les, it took some finding but there is a oist from you on STBINC with 10 comments, it is a long way down and took some finding but it is still on the board. The originator tells me that so many posts come in and depending on how many comments, they often go way down the board. |

| I see Pauline (whoever she is) has put a comment on your post which brought it back to the top of the postings. It looks like it was very popular at the time Les. |

| Today I went to HSBC to pay cash to cover my Advocates fees, a good friend was giving him a cheque to cover his fee and I was reimbursing my friend. We both bank with HSBC but they wanted 31 lira to do this. To pay cash into a HSBC account in Famagusta, I was paying it in HSBC Girne. Needless to say, I threw a wobbly, and eventually the fee was waived. Tell me, what is the advantage of being a HSBC Premier Account holder? I often pay the fee of a translator into her Koop Bank acct and I do not have an account with them, there is never a mention of any fee. I told them I would rather walk all the way to Famagusta and place the cash in his hand than pay them 31 lira for this transaction. I am sick and tired of being ripped off here. Not a good start to a new week. This is not off topic because the fee is for the Libel case. |
