    • Lolerz - I don't understand you.  Rebuked you?   No. I simply replied to your orange comments with legal facts as I know them.  I've already worked through the s42 and s146 issues - over the last 3-4y - and these issues are (mostly) resolved legally.  In terms of posting evidence.  Sure I can post some.  But my most recent questions have been a) how can I enforce a sale before trial?  And b) how can I make a complaint and/or a claim v receiver? (E.g. to which body do I complain?).  At the mo I'm asking for some helpful pointers on those specific questions??  I'm not asking for help with how to prove or present evidence. Fwiw - all evidence for trial has been disclosed (although additions are poss). The lender sent me like 10,000 emails and docs.  There's also 000s of emails, docs, photos, videos, recordings and texts that relate to freeholders/ me.   I read, filed and categorised everything for ease of future reference.  Witness statements and evidence were prepared for trial in the 42 and 146 matters. (now joined with current claim to save duplication).  I've lived the process before.  My current statement and linked evidence has taken like 6 months to draft/ write - to ensure I can succinctly prove my defence and counterclaim points.   Whether I can convince a judge at trial w/o lawyer / barrister is debatable 🙄   But I've prepared.  And continue to try better prepare - which is why I visit this site (and clinics).  This is NOT my business or expertise at all.  I'm just trying.  Not that anyone should ever have to justify why they need help if they ask politely! 
    • Thanks for the other info will also take a look at that.
    • It doesn't use the word reconstructed in the cover letter.  Although, I have just noticed on the cover letter they have asked me to complete a financial statement and offer a repayment within the next 10 days, or they will continue to follow court directions.  They sent a separate letter on the same day advising me they will be continuing with their claim ?  They have done the same for both claims.  Is it worth just doing that - doing the financial breakdown and offering a x amount.    
    • hahah except I can't locate the courier to frighten them with it hahaha

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi just wanted a little advice really...

 

For the last 4 years I have had problems with my local council, they charge me stupid amounts of Business Rates each year and I complained...

 

YEAR 1 - £50 a month (I was happy with this and I paid)

YEAR 2 - £112 a month (Came as a shock and couldn’t Afford it - ended up with some arrears)

YEAR 3 - £171 a month (I nearly fell off my chair)

YEAR 4 - £39 a month (now I’m happy again)

 

 

BASICLY - my council were taking the PlSS... I couldn’t understand the increases in the amounts... I run a small Karate club in the community and just manage to break even... its more of a hobby and I love helping the kids...

 

I filled in 3 Appeal forms which they managed to lose... so I posted the 4th one recorded and for some reason the got that one.... that was sent in the second year 2005 they finally came to see me in Feb 2007. The woman agreed that it seems unfair but that was the increase...

She said she would do all she can back in the office to make me fall into a new category for 2008 so that I get an automatic rates reduction... She managed to get it down to the £80 a month mark which entitled me to a further 50% reduction... I was so happy, but still had arrears...

 

So now I’m happy, they never ever contacted me over my arrears... so I just happily got on with my business. I could easily afford the new rate so I set up the direct debit... checked my internet backing and it was set up and LIVE... one month later I receive a Court Summons... for failing to pay.... this is for my current year.. No letter from the council no warning... I fell back off my chair as I knew that I had set up the direct debit... I called them and they said that I had cancelled the direct debit.... I contacted my bank and they sent me a 3 cover letter providing full evidence that the direct debit is still live always has been and that the council has made no attempt to take the money... I sent a copy of these letters to my council and had no reply I also took them to the court with me... the court refused to look at them saying that that is between myself and the bank to discuss... I felt out numbered and I knew where I stood.... they put £80 on top and forced me to pay the full amount....

 

So I lost but had to accept it... I’m now paying it off and last week I go to my place of work and I have 1 letter stuck to my door, in a used envelop with my personal details in it, threatening removal of goods due to the old arrears... anyone could have read it... I don’t have a letterbox at my club, all letters should be sent to my home address, my council tax letters are sent to my hone, and in fact, the letter stuck to the door had my home address on it, but they chose to stick it on my business door... my opening times are on the door, but I have had no visit from the bailiff in person... they have also been around to my home address because they are threatening to take my care.. a silver 3 door corsa, which makes me laugh as I live with my parents and that’s my mums car... so they have been around my house, haven’t knocked took details and then stuck two more letters on the door of my club for anyone to take... when they could have easily posted them at my home address...

Do you think they are scared of meeting me in person as I am a martial arts instructor and I might just kick their ass...? (Trust me I will)

Luckily I have received these letters, but as far as they know someone else could have stole them off the door... I haven’t made contact and I’m playing a blind eye, I’m going to tell them I have receive nothing... they are aggressive letters and one is dated TODAY as in the English language... I think that is sarcastic... the other is a walking possession order, which I must sign, but haven’t so that don’t stand.... what should I do... I have just written a letter to the council offering to clear the arrears. Now waiting on a response...

Thank you for reading.

Councils do not like to contact anyone about arrears, they want people to default so they can add their exhorbitant charge on to those arrears.

Did you know that the councils in England made a total of £200,000,000 in charges in 2007, so they are hardly likely to to give you a chance to pay up before a court appearance.

 

The courts could not look at anything in a liability case, they are not allowed to, this case was just to establish liability, the councils then have the power to send in bailiffs or deduct payments direct from your wages or even get you sent to prison.

 

You do not 'have' to sign a walking possession order, they are hoping you do as it will make the bailiffs lot easier.

 

There really is no way around this, so don't delay in settling the arrears, they always have the upper hand and if you can frustrate the bailiffs from collecting, they will just go back to the court for a custodial order.

 

There is also a new tactic that a lot of councils are taking now and that is to make you bankrupt, (1,000 by Manchester in the first 3 months of this year). It achieves nothing except to punish you.

I understand you 100% and i know that you are right...

 

But i also know that the law is corrupt and one sided, they have a law of their own and i dont like that. i have got the money.. i have more than enough to clear it. the thing is with me i am stubern and i will not go without aa fight even if i know im gunna lose...

 

i will always fall down fighting, cus eaither way im falling down...

 

i dont want to pay the bailiffs, im just holding out and my plan is to get a letter off the council refusing to take my cleared payment, the when the debt gets passed back to the council and they contact me i will offer to clear straight away, if they say its too late i will argue the fact that i have offered previously and that they refused in writing... i may get to clear it that way or they may still get away with it, but at least i tried. and when i got to those pearly gates of heaven i will be let in, unlike these ppl who think its fun to inflict pain uppon the helpless...

 

i left school and started my business at the age of 17 took me a year to legally own a busines account and now im 23, most of my friend that left school with me are already dead through drugs and other crime, yet the law hates me...

 

 

WE NEED A REVOLUTION...

 

And with the great power of the internet, i really dont think thats to far away....

 

:D

Since councils usually put business rates in the individuals name,it covers you under the Data Protection Act.

I had similar problems and sent them a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request).I was able to find all their cock ups in there and threatened them with the local Government Ombudsman.Strangely enough my account was "Re-adjusted" ........

 

Its much more of a pain when they get a liability order since unlike private individuals-you cant keep the front door of a business closed-especially if its a shop.

 

More disturbing is the scenario for arrears involving commercial rent-If I am not mistaken the landlord can instruct the Baliff to break in and take your stock without even having to get a warrant.

All my letters from the council and the ones from the baliff are addressed to my Business Name, so does that mean that i am not covered by the Data Protection Act?

 

I am vey annoid that all 3 letters have been stuck to my door, and when i have got their they have been been oppede and read by other ppl :confused:

 

What benefit will a SAR be in my situation? and how much will it cost?

 

 

PS. Recieved a reply letter from the Council today. they state that the arrears were passed on to the Baliffs in December 2007 i had no knowledge of that and 1. the council never informed me of this and 2. its took the bailiffs 8 months before they contact me.

 

I read on another site that the council have to inform you before they pass on the arrears to a bailiff and that they must do so in writing 14 days prior to passing on the arrears, is this true?

 

 

Regards,

Sorry for the late reply.

 

The council do have to inform you. They will probably say that they did and now they've been to court, they don't have to prove that the issued the letters to you.

 

Just a thought, but if you run a club for the benefit of the community (especialy kids) the Council have the power to grant you discretionary relief on your rates. The reduction you are already getting will be the mandatory relief which you are entitled to, but ask them for discretionary as well. You may end up paying noting (except arrears of course, but you caould ask for the releif to be backdated!!)
