Hi all, let me tell you that we managed to get 2 more months to stay in the house this morning at the hearing. Couldn't done it without Leas help and this forum Thank You If anyone wants more info about the hearing let me know

Hello, let me inform you how the things are up till today. I finally sorted my hearing and it will take place on thursday 17th of May. My hearing will be based on the fact that: - all the tenants paid the rent (minus 1 month) and none of us was aware of what's going on till we went on all the papers - there is 1 child staying in the house (8 yrs old) and the moving will messs up with the school - half of the house is studying and the courses are due to be done in at least one month(not the best option to move right now when everyone is preparing the exams) I think this is all but if any of you has any advice on how to present at the hearing or what exactly I need to do then I would be gratefull. Took me this long to set the hearing because I was running around from one solicitior to another (from one area to another) because they heavy different days when they are free but I found out that just in some regions they deal with housing problems and when I bumped into the good ones they were not helpfull at all (they tried to send me to the first solicitors that I've went because they were saying that those are the good one which wasn't because I was already at them and so on they were playing ping pong with me) Right after I put the papers for the hearing the mortgage company called me and this time they were really helpfull, they were saying that the problem is that none of us (tenants) it's on defendant name (or the 'landlord') but they gave me a bit of a hope. Everything is on thursday morning now. Thank You. I'll keep you in touch anyway how it went.

Been on the phone with them only (2 times) and they were saying that the goal is to sell the house and not to let us stay there anymore. I will send the letter first thing in the morning on Tuesday like you advise me. No I suppose there is no point of me going to the solicitor on Tuesday after you've told me this. Thanks

Sorry if I go too deep into things but it's just me. Was your Landlord the 'claimant' on the court paperwork? A: No it wasn't Was he/she named as the 'defendant'? A: Yes it was. Have your names (the current tenants) appeared on any of the court documentation? A: None of the names of the actual tenants appears of any of the court letter. Hopefully this will clarify the things any more details let me know and I will try to provide them if I'll be able. Thank You Lea

Hello Lea and thanks for replying. So I went again to the only pappers you managed to find and I can tell you this: "Name 1" and "Name 2" were appointed as Joint Law of Property Act 1925 Receivers the Property by Capital Home Loans Limited by way of Deed of Appointment dated 28th July 2010. Then on another page there is another "Company 1" which appears as a borrower and later on the papers is the landlord. There is this Tenancy Agreement between "Company 1" as the Landlord and then "Name 3" and "Name 4" as the Tenant where is stated that ther rent is £850 a month and il increase later on to £1000 a month. On the Housing Act 1988 Section 13(2) at the Landlord section appears this: "Company 1" acting by "Name 1" and "Name 2", Joint LPA Receivers On the Housing Act 1988, Notice Seeking Possession of a Property Let on an Assured Tenancy or an Assured Agricultural Occupancy on the tenants name appears "Name 3" and "Name 4" and as a landlord appears "Name 1" and "Name 2" and the total arrears amount is £2.700. Now back on the main page of Possesion Claim and hearing papers I have this: Claimant: "Name 2" Defendant: "Name 3" and "Name 4" ---- So you paid the rent to "Name 3" till it dissappeared and none of the name lived in the house since I've moved there. None of the current tenant names appears on any of the court paper no matter how old or new is it apart from the notice of eviction which is addressed to "Name 4" and "ALL OTHER OCCUPIERS" Becaus is Bank Holiday can't go on Monday to any solicitor but on Tuesday that'll be the first thing. I can scan all the pappers I have and upload them in a single file if someone wants to go go through them and like this will be easier to help us if possible. Let me know what I need to ask when at the solicitor or what steps shall we folllow. Thank You all

Hello, being new to this forum I will please ask for your help fighting against the eviction notice that I've got it today (3rd of May). Basically the story is like this: I live in a shared house and untill December 2011 we were paying the rent to the "owner/landlord" that used to come every week to collect the rent, our only responsability was to pay for the gas only. So from January 2012 till March his "brother" came for the rent and since the begining of April nobody came for the rent but we've receive a Hearing Letter on the 10th of April with the hearing date for the 11th of April (we went there even if our names weren't on the letter ). I went there with other tenants but we didn't got the chance to say nothing but the person dealing with the Housing Issues told us to sort it out with Goldsmith Solicitor or with the Mortgage Company. On the 19th of April we've got this letter stating : - the defendants give the claimant possession of HOUSE ADDRESS on or before 25th April 2012 - the defendants pay the claimant £7,000.00 for rent arrears and £32.88 per day from 3rd May 2012 until possession of the property is given to the caimants - the defendants pay the claimants costs of £301.75 - the defendants pay the total amount of £7,301.75 to the claimants. After this I went to CAB and they advise me to go to a solicitor which I've done and he said that I should wait for an eviction notice and that we'll continue from there (he said that the letter will take between 2 weeks to 6 months ) so we were calculating roughfly 3 months for the whole process but we receive the EVICTION LETTER on 3rd May having the eviction date on 21st May. So we said that we need to act and find out what's going on with this house because for the last year and a half we've been paying the rent on time and now this situation came. I started to went through old letters to find out what needs to be paid and to who and discovered a letter from the Andrews Property Services which states that the rent arreas is at £3000.00 and that the monthly payment through mortgage were £850 and they've raised it somehow to £1000.00 a month. In short lines this is the whole story and now we (as tenants) are trying to sort the things out if we can. Let me add more information: -none of the persons that are state on the possession/ mortgage letters live in the house or have lived in the house as far as I'm aware of and none of the other tenants new them. -there is a 7 years old girl that lives in the house along with her family Do we need to rush to complete the N244 for or shall we try to send some letters to the mortgage company to try and spread the arrears and lower the monthly rent? We have chat with the the mortage company over the phone and they said that they want to sell the house and they aren't looking for any payment sorting no matter what's the situation. Hopefully I pointed everything or what I know at this moment from the letters and phonecalls. Can you please let us know which steps shall we take and if there is any chance with N244 if we go to court because we'd rather spent the time left looking for accomodation . Thank You in advance and I'll try to provide more information if required.
