Council PCN with wrong VRN
InformedSearcher replied to v5uk's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
Short answer is ... They can't! They cannot re-issue another PCN unless at the time of the contravention. What I would say is they you do tell them and they can simply cancel the one issued in error. They will probably thank you for telling them (I think)? LOL -
Normally when you get a parking permit (unless a virtual one) the letter arriving with it either separately or attached usually tells you about checking daily. If this is not practical then get a neighbour or someone to check for you. Cars are an emotive issue however just imagine your car getting vandalised or stolen and what the insurance company (or Police) would say if you offered a defence of 'I've been on holiday for two weeks'? Having found out the hard way myself, I always check 'my pride and joy' is okay, probably way too often. Dependant on the council they either remove,

Dropped Kerbs are normally processed by the owner of the property whose drive is blocked contacting the local council. Where a council operates a removal / relocation system they will probably want confirmation (on arrival of the removal vehicle) by the person reporting this (the home owner), normally by signature. Dropped Kerb (code 27) is not normally processed unless requested so it's probably the owner of the property considered this unacceptable? Resident parking permits allow parking within allowed areas. This does not give any 'extras' so you have to park where you are allowed to a

@argoshelpers Fridge Freezer 3.1/2 years old failed
InformedSearcher replied to InformedSearcher's topic in Argos
Thank you all for the replies. I decided to replace this with another one. I think way too much 'chasing up' with probably getting 'banned' from them for expecting something that was quite valid. Hopefully this will not happen again and alas the 'unauthorised' repairer never replied when I said their repair failed. Something not to be repeated. M -
@argoshelpers Fridge Freezer 3.1/2 years old failed
InformedSearcher replied to InformedSearcher's topic in Argos
Thank you so much for the reply. Nosed around in vain! The value 'new' is now circa £249 Spoke to Argos and they are telling me £30 and that's final as I had it repaired unauthorised plus 'Gassing' is considered natural wear and tear. I gave them a dozen chances to knock money off a new replacement and they totally refused. The failure is back to what it was previously - Code 5r. I cannot believe that they would not consider their decision and appeared uninterested that I might pursue this in a CC. I look in amazement at the 'wriggling' to fob me off with them saying I -
Back in late October 2014 we purchased an Hitachi Fridge Freezer. One of those amazing offers reduced from £499 to £349. In mid April it failed with a code (5r) being displayed. I called Argos and was advised that I should find a company to check it out and produce a report then they would make a decision. The mention of 3 and a half years was an obstacle I was told. Just how hard to find someone anyhow eventually (and a mini fridge purchase later) I find a local company. 2 visits and 2 hours later they decided it was an exceptionally small leak over time and repaired i

Thank you so it seems that no one in this situation is protected. At the whim of the Landlord you can be evicted with simply 2 months notice?! Amazing how this type of 'easy' thing came about?

Thank you for that kind reply! Michael

Hmm, so okay he really wanted us to leave because he wants to sell the property (and I've no idea about how long is left on the lease). I've managed to 'swing' it so we are still here however my concern is how someone can so easily with little effort decide to issue an eviction notice and 'kick you out' (as it were?). My question is broadly on advice as to where I stand in this type of case. Can someone just at a whim evict people for example?
-
Yes, I'm concerned that this will happen again and if it does what to do about it.

Okay here goes... After 13 years being a private tenant with a private landlord he decided to re mortgage the property. He's spent zero over that time except installing a new (£3500) boiler. He was a bit upset that as we smoke the place is simply ageing and has not been redecorated since god knows how many years before we moved in. He gave me the intimation that we should redecorate and keep the place 'sparkling'. It's a ground floor flat and since 2005 have never received an annual tenancy agreement. The annual gas safety check is sporadic as well ranging from 12 to 20 months. So as there

Claim form (MKDP LLP) old HSBC ban account
InformedSearcher replied to davedru's topic in Financial Legal Issues
Personally I doubt whilst HSBC have written over the rights MKDP don't have 'all' your details from them. I'm guessing you had numerous letters from DC Solicitors (in house HSBC people)? It's simply their procedure. Now you are going to start receiving calls from MKDP, believe me you will receive many! With someone like HSBC they have a simple procedure. Each month unpaid (whatever) registers 1 point. So if you said paid half of the monthly payment it would be 0.5 point against you. After a full 6 points it'll generate a 'default notice' which needs -
MKDP / HSBC Loans CC summons
InformedSearcher replied to InformedSearcher's topic in Financial Legal Issues
Thank you (so many times!!!!) citizenB. I'm now going to send these two CPR's pff and even call the court to verify I have the 14 day extension as their web site seems a little lacking on this. I look in amazement at this type of underhand procedure that a company might engage in purely to prolong things. Just a point here that I received two letters (out of the blue) yesterday from 'Cabot' advising me of unpaid debts relating to the years 1988(!!) and 1998(!!) - My wife was concerned and I looked on in simple disbelief!

MKDP / HSBC Loans CC summons
InformedSearcher replied to InformedSearcher's topic in Financial Legal Issues
Hello, THANK YOU!!!! Dare I add that I have the actual originals sent to me so if they 'manufacture' anything I'll tear 'em down in shreds (well hopefully)! LOL I'll send you the letter I intend to send if you could verify it's okay maybe? I'm personally so incensed that as with the 'nasty' DCA's they have decided to encompass delaying tactics to extend CRA entries to like over 10 years knowing full well after '6' they'd have failed. I guess in the end they are really 'all the same'. Enduring up to 6 calls a day (Monday to Saturday) for 2 years I suppose the end was nigh? Michael -
Hello, Is there someone who could advise me regarding an HSBC defaulted loan passed to MKDP. The loan was defaulted (with a defective by date Default notice) in mid 2009 and passed to MKDP in 2011. I have now received a CC summons from Northampton Court from MKDP. I might add that whilst I have the originals from HSBC I'm having difficulty in locating the 'handover' to MKDP. HSBC also having passed the stuff to their initial Metropolitan services and then solicitors never issued a CC summons. I'm assuming because they realised that it would be futile due to the
