Part 18 is news to me?!!!

Copy email received today.......

Part 18 response edited.pdf

Thank you BankFodder.   The lease most definitely specifies one parking space only and not the garage.

I shall investigate further per your advice.

We recently took out a lease on a terraced house that states the garage is not included.  The landlords have now emptied the garage of their possessions and are renting it out privately.

However, as half the length of the garage occupies the private garden of the house, I understand that there is a portion of council tax that can be deducted and liability lies with the garage rental.  In addition, the lighting in the garage is connected to the main house.

What are the implications of all this to the legal tenants of the house?

Can I not get an MCOL now?

Letter received at the weekend.

Thanks guys, time for reaction to CPR was what I was asking but you have answered that!

Northants confirmed that a printed name in lieu of signature on the letter of defence is suffice under current circumstances so that has been re-sent to them.

CPR emailed today to sols.  Remind me of the time allowed for response please.

The defence was an email to Northampton Bulk, do I now need to print that off and post it signed?

The CPR will have no signature, just printed name.  Emailed to sols and followed up with a hard copy in the post?

The email I sent for defence wasn't signed.  I shall print off and sign it and post it.

Will I do the same for the CPR31:14 ?  Or email it first to sols and then also follow up with a printed name, not signature, hard copy by post?

Received email reply :

Email sent and acknowledged immediately before 4pm..........

CPR 31:14 next?

Sorry, they didn't say when or to which address it was made.

Yes, he did say I think you should know that judgement has not been issued.

Thanks dx. 

A Backdoor CCJ sounds horrific!  To notify everyone of a change of address almost seems contrary to not giving out any information to DCAs!  Especially if this letter is the first he knew about the debt?!

Hope I've done this OK.

Incidentally, he lived at another address at the time he bought the phone and they have followed him to his current one!

Thank you Andyorch.

I shall endeavour to upload the letter but that may take me a week! 

In the meantime,  the letter is from the solicitors and is headed Notice of pending CCJ  saying he failed to respond to the CCC ,  threats of bad credit file, threats of a Warrant of Control (Bailiff) and wanting full payment of over £300.  

I will speak to him again this evening for more info and raid his emails.

I shall also read the links above that you sent.

ps. Can I ask my son to calm down a bit now?!

Long time since I've been on the site (thankfully!) so am a bit rusty.

My son bought a new phone on the internet during lockdown 3 years ago from Vodafone.  Unbeknown to him they sold him a SIM package too which he never activated and never used.

He has now received a Notice of pending CCJ for over £300!

Can I be reminded of how to deal with them?  SAR first?  He's very anxious that they've given him till 9th July to act.  Can correspondence now be emailed legally?

Many thanks

He was apparently going to go to the Top Manager himself after I left!  I reinforced to him what you've said about retaliation and vindication on him but he was adamant there is nothing anyone can do ?!  He is quite a smart cookie himself but I reiterated and he said that the Trade Union Leader was in the vicinity as well at the time and she really looks after the workers.  As said, I'll sleep on it, maybe discuss it again over dinner tonight which he's cooking 

So, my son has returned from work unscathed.  The manager who dealt with me is not normally on the shop floor but is manager of the dot com team.  The staff all around us at the time were not happy at all with his behaviour with me and said he handled it all wrong.  The member of staff who flew in my face has been involved in a few incidents before (thought she wasn't quite all there!)  I feel somewhat vindicated but shall be writing to head office, copy to local store manager.  Wrong day, wrong time for me I guess.  Might have to take an extra chill pill next time I go out........  Thanks to you all x

Thanks good people.  I did need a rant and I was so upset by both the employee shrieking in my face and by the floor manager's behaviour, so I lost it 

I have just had the most dreadful altercation with a floor manager in Tesco!  Although this virus is causing  a lot of stress for us all, I am full-time carer for my terminally ill husband at home and have a 20-yr old son with Type 1 Diabetes living at home.  He works in Tesco when not at university.  Working there more than ever right now because they've been offered 10% wage increase and 15% staff discount!

I took him to work at 8.45am this morning and I started my shopping.  In the chilled aisle, there was a worker with a trolley filling shelves but she left her trolley to speak to another customer on the other side of the aisle.  While she did so, I reached across her trolley for a packet of ham.  Suddenly she was in face screeching You shouldn't be this close to me!!!!   I said Well why don't you move out of the bloody way when you can see a customer stretching over your trolley?!  I left it at that and carried on.

When I was halfway through checking my groceries and medicines out, a Floor Manager came over and shouted This sale is void.  Do not put this shopping through.  My son was on the next checkout and  the lady at my checkout is an old friend plus a lady manager nearby who I also know very well.  We all just stood there stunned!  He said his colleague had said that I had sworn at her and he was adamant.  I explained to him exactly what had happened and he said he had no reason to doubt her!  I said I would be happy for him to check his CCTV to see what happened.  He then insisted to the checkout lady that she void my sale so I picked my bags up out of my trolley and tipped them all onto the counter.  He was pointing his finger at me so I said F*** You, and he said there you go swearing again, so I just said F*** You again and he said Right you're bannedf, you're banned from this shop!  I just walked out.

At the bottom of the escalator there were 3 managers at the doorway and I called 1 over and explained what had happened.  She very reassuringly said, Don't worry, you're not banned, shaking her head, you're not banned.

I was in tears by the time I got to Morrisons where it was much more civilised and being properly run but I am so furious that I really want to take it further.  I see slander and defamation are very difficult to pursue but feel I can't let it rest.

Thanks for the rant!    ps.  The worker in question doesn't appear to have her lift going up to the top floor!

Mmmmm, after my recent experience with DCA's, I'd rather take the safer option...... although my judge defied CPR's and suggested that in all probability, documents will have been sent to the Claimant 

I just wondered, where's the proof?!  And sending me an invoice 2 years after purchase?!

I'll upload the documents if it'll help.........

I am being harassed somewhat with SMS and threatening letters for £14.99 from an online company called Studio on which I bought a product online.   This happened in 2017 and I don't even recall receiving anything from them?!

Can they do this 2 years later?
