    • Hi, I am a local authority tenant and was in a 3 bed house. At the end of last year, my last child moved out and so did my spouse as we are now going through a divorce which meant that I was in the house alone and decided that I needed to downsize not only for myself but to offer the property to a family that needed it. I registered on the local authority housing bidding site as i was asked to do and I was accepted and given a priority banding as I was downsizing and they were desperate for my house. I have been extremely lucky and after about 6 weeks was accepted for a new build from a housing association via the housing gateway. I viewed the property 2 weeks ago and had to sign the tenancy last week when they were doing bulk signups for the houses and that is the day I moved. In between viewing and sign up, I contacted my current local authority landlord and asked how I give notice as I had been accepted for a property I had bid on and was moving.  The lady told me how to do it online and then said that I needed to give a full weeks notice which wasnt a problem as I had enough time.  (I was also told a weeks notice was what i would need to give by another staff member about a month ago when I phoned up for another housing related question.  I dont have any of this in writing.) I have now moved, handed back the keys and I am now being told that I need to give 4 weeks notice which I cannot afford. I hav e spoken to the council again explaining that I was told a week and that to be honest, if I knew they were going to charge me 4 weeks I would not have been able to move and would have stayed in the other house.  I thought I was doing the right thing. They said that calls are recorded and they asked me when I called in and was told a week and they would listen to the telephone conversation and if it was correct what I was told, they would see what they could do to reduce the notice period. They have now emailed me back and said that they have listened to the conversation and the lady said 4 weeks notice and I am liable for 4 weeks rent.  Now I may well of misheard her when I thought she said a full weeks notice she may have said 4 weeks notice but I am sure she said a full weeks notice and i was told a week by another member of staff a few weeks ago. I have emailed her back and said that I may of misheard but I would like to listen to the phone recording myself.  As yet they havent responded. I think its unreasonable for them to make me give 4 weeks when I had to sign the new tenancy with little notice or loose the property.  And it was all done through their gateway, and they will have a tenant in there pretty much straight away getting rent from them. I am on a very low income, I am on my own, I have serious medical issues and I am really getting myself stressed out over this. Any advice would be so appreciated.  Can I insist they let me listed to the recording? RH  
    • Susan Crichton is at the Inquiry today. She seems to have trouble remembering a lot of things but seems to find it easier if it's something that shows her in a good light.
    • Send them a letter of claim straightaway. No point hanging around. Given 14 days in the letter of claim and if they haven't paid you by then, issue the claim on day 15. The amount of time is more than adequate for them to get going. Post your draft letter of claim here. A look at. Then log onto the MoneyClaim website and start preparing your claim and post your particulars of claim here for us to have a look at. Don't bluff. No point in it.
    • That's what we thought, but the store manager is inferring that, as the jeweller we used was not a member of the NJA, no one  would give what he said, any credence. The Jeweller we used is in fact, a long established, well respected company, with 2 store and rather than just being a retailer, they craft the most exquisite jewellery inhouse!  I wish my Fiancé would have bought from them rather than H Samuel! Do you think we do need to get another report from and NJA accredited Jeweller ?
    • Really pleased that you won. UKPC know that you have supremacy of contract but still they persist because so many motorists blindly pay them.   Muppets.

    • 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

 

yesterday i recieved a letter from northampton court saying i had 14 days to reply with my admission

or denial at a jd williams debt for 310 pounds.

 

This catalouge debt is about 5years old and is mostly charges

 

a couple of years ago i got letters from several debt collectors inc llowell

 

i sent back proof it letters with the pound postsl orders

 

no one came back with anything and

all went quiet until the court letters

 

it wants my employers details income outgoings etc..

 

...i could really do without a ccj!!

 

Should i contact llowell and ask them to set up a payment plan?

 

Do i tell the court ive done this?

 

I only work 16 hours per week and with 2 kids i can set up payment plan.

 

Never had a court letter so dont understand it all.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Claire.

'the claimant's claim is for the sum of 390.21 being monies due from the defendant to the claimant

under a mail order agreement regulated by the consumer cedit act 1974

between the defendnt and jd williams under the account ref *********

and assigned to the claiment on the 20/12/2012

 

notice of which has been given to the defendent,

 

the defendet failed to maintain the payment under the terms of the agreement

and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

 

the claim also includes intrest to section 69 of the county courts act at a rate of 8.00%

 

catalouge was taken out roughly 5 and half years ago. (most of this amount is charges)

 

where do i go from here

 

im loosing sleep over this

 

i really dont want a ccj and

 

just need to know if me contacting lowell

 

and setting up oayment arrangments is enough to stop this going any further.

 

thank you

If you make an arrangement to pay, and they accept, from what i have read they will still continue with the claim unless they can say they will discontinue with the claim, but you will need that in writing....do not phone lowell or carter do everything in writing, that way you have a written record send all letters recorded delivery.

 

At the moment, I and quite a few others have also received claims from Carters/ Lowells they send these out like confetti.

 

Personally i am not worried about the claim, as they have failed to produce the documents they are relying on to take this to court.

 

when they send the claims out, they hope that the individual will just pay what they are after, what they don`t like is when the defendants stands up to defend the claims.

Lowells and carters send these claims out without checking whether they are right or wrong. meaning they dont have the correct paperwork in place when the claim is issued.

 

 

You have the following timescale to go with, You have 33 days in total subject to how you decide to proceed.

5 days from date of claim for the claim to be deemed served so 28 remaining ...14 to Acknowledge service and if defending a further 14 to submit a defence.

first thing you need to do is acknowledge the claim online http://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk there is password on the claim form to use for this.

when you do the acknowledgement tick that you want to defend all ( if you do) and do not tick the jurisdiction.

 

hope that helps

You need to send the CCA Requestlink3.gif to whoever has sent you the Court papers.

 

You also need to send the CPR31.14 to the same people, asking for

a) Agreement

b) Default notice

c) NOA

d) How the debt is made up

Ok

 

I may as well defend it if they are going to give me a ccj anyway??

 

This debt has been passed around a handful of dca's and

 

when I've sent cca requests nothing comes back

all goes quiet for a while and

then another crops up.

 

I'll acknowledge the claim defend it and

 

send the cca request and

 

other kettle mentioned recorded delivery to Lowell tomorrow?

 

Thank you will keep this updated x

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
