Good afternoon Mr Finnerty,
Unfortunately due to ongoing current case commitments, we are unable to assist you at this time. I would suggest Housing Rights as an alternative service for the
issues described below.
Kind regards,

Dear Mr Ó Muirigh,
RE: REQUEST FOR LEGAL ADVICE RELATING TO EVICTION THREAT
I have a number of related financial and legal problems which have been building up since around 1998, and which are proving extremely difficult for me to resolve. The most pressing of these problems, just now, is that I am being threatened with eviction from
the Radius Housing Association flat in Belfast I am at present living in.
Evidence of this eviction threat can be viewed in the scanned copies of two letters (both dated January 8th 2021) I have received from Babingtons Solicitors, who are acting on behalf of Radius Housing Association. Scanned copies of both letters can be viewed
at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/BabingtonsSolicitors/8January2021/Letter.htm
On February 9th 2021 last I came across a piece of text at the following government web page
https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/protection-against-eviction
which read:
"If you live in rented accommodation, the law protects you against harassment and illegal eviction. It is a criminal offence for a landlord to harass their tenant. A tenant could claim damages through court
action."
For a number of reasons, which include the fact that I am suffering from Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which I believe I am
not receiving proper medical treatment for, I feel I am being subjected to harassment from Radius Housing Association. In addition, I have heard (from a number of different sources) that it is unlawful for landlords to attempt to evict
tenants during the Covid-19 lockdown periods. Also, I have not yet been told the results of two appeals I have lodged with the
Northern Ireland Appeal Service which relate directly to the eviction threat in question, and which earlier involved the sudden cancellation -- without warning or notification -- of my Pension Credit payments; and, some months later, the cancellation
of my Housing Benefit payments as well. As a result of these two cancellations, I now have Radius Housing Association "rent arrears debt" of approximately £8,450. In addition, and in connection with money I have needed to borrow (since 2007) from my brother
Gerald Finnerty, and my late half-sister Marjorie Dolan, I also have financial debts relating to this borrowing. The overall sum of money I have borrowed from my brother and half-sister to date amounts to approximately 114,000 Euros.
Up to recently, it looked as though I might have been able to get professional legal advice on this Radius Housing Association eviction threat via local Community Psychiatric Nurse Briana Bloomer, who, together with her colleague Social Worker Tina Millar,
had established contact on my behalf with Belfast law-firm MSM Law (and also with the Belfast Law Centre). However, MSM Law has apparently decided to disengage from this role (without providing any reason for doing so as far as I aware), and evidence of which
can be found in the copy of the email dated March 8th I have received from Community Psychiatric Nurse Briana Bloomer at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/BelfastHealthAndSocialCareTrust/8March2021/Gmail.pdf
===
I feel I should point out that I have replied to Babingtons Solicitors letter dated January 8th (referred to above), and a scanned copy of my reply, dated January 20th 2021, can be viewed at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/BabingtonsSolicitors/20January2021/RegisteredLetter.htm
To date, I have not received any reply from Babington Solicitors to my January 20th 2021 letter, which I sent to them through the registered post. Scanned copies of the Post Office receipt, and of the Post Office proof-of-delivery (on January 21st) can also
be viewed at the www address immediately above.

In connection with some of the earlier problems I have had (up to May 17th 2019) in relation to finding professional legal advice and representation, of the kind which was willing and able to deal with my overall set of legal problems in a holistic manner,
please see the slightly edited copy of an email titled "STILL BEING THWARTED AT EVERY TURN" at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/MentalHealthAwarenessUK/17May2019/Gmail.html
An unedited "Gmail PDF" copy of the May 17th 2019 email in question can also be viewed at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/MentalHealthAwarenessUK/17May2019/Gmail.pdf

Finally, there are two much more recent "FACEBOOK POSTS" of mine relating to my overall situation, as it is at the present time, which can be viewed at the at the www address provided immediately below.
:
#1) "LAW FIRM CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE SUPPORT":

#2) "HELP FOR DEPRESSION AND OTHER PSYCHIATRIC INJURIES":

Any written advice that you, as a professional lawyer, might be able to let me have regarding the legality of the Radius Housing Association eviction threat referred to above, would be greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
William Finnerty.
