  1. i question from a friend. i dont know the answer i have tried googling it

     

    his wife is disabled and asked if he was entitled to disabled council tax relief. under rule ( a room (other than a bathroom, kitchen or toilet) required to meet the needs of the disabled person, and used predominantly by them)

     

    what i know she is on higher rate mobility and lower rate care.

    the one bedroom is fitted out were she spends most her time during the day and sleeping electric bed, 48in tv. any friends and family visit. this is were they go. anyone else is appointment only and the visit is in the living room.

     

    reasons are. because she suffers from severe arthritis. the electric bed is the only way she can rest.

    her husbands bed is also in the same room

     

    any advice

  2. you have a letter from a county court bailiff. not as bad as private bailiffs. they are civil servants. ok sounds like good old northamption county courts have been losing post again. you can apply to set aside but it will just but you back to square on and i guess your not disputing you owe Next the money.

     

    call the bailiff and ask them to send out the N245. and suspend the warrant. it is a means testing form. Next will see the form and either accept what you offer or decline it.. if they decline the judge will make a ruling and as long as you fill it in correctly. the judge wont force an amount you can not afford. if your unemployed and on benefits its free. otherwise its £40

  3. first offence: no but as i said we can only go by what you tell us. if he has his own address in london then maybe he has evidence to prove it. does he pay council tax or rent. has he had loans etc at this address and insure is own car from this address.

    if he can then you properly get a warning about letting your ex stop over night. dont know how you can explain the joint account

  4. have you been invited to an interview under caution.

     

    hmrc mostly likely got their evidence together and need to hear what you have to say.

    council tax and electoral: your partner should have been removed from these. your ex should not have stopped over night except in emergency circumstances. from what you have said its going to be hard to explain why you didn't do it. there argue you would have known about it for the 25% discount

     

    again your partner staying overnight is a big no no. except in emergency circumstances and i don't think you have met that

     

    using a joint account: again is a big no no. and i guess they wont believe you. part of their check now includes who puts money in and who withdraw its

     

    joint mortgage is no so bad as its hard to remove one name from a mortgage because the mortgage want to protect its investment

     

    we can only go by what you are saying

    my advice is if your partner is living you then come clean and explain why you did it. a £5000 overdraft is one factor. you will have to repay every penny back but hopefully you would avoid the courts

     

    beware the fraud team collect vast amounts of evidence so beware they could have other evidence for example job application forms for you ex giving your address catalogue companies delivering stuff to your address and loans all taken out at your address

  5. What type of tenancies do the current tenants have? If they are AST's (assured shorthold tenancies) one of the requirements is that the landlord DOES NOT reside at the property that is let. Personally I would not therefore move in if they are AST's as this could affect any legal actions to evict the tenants.

    we,ve established that these are not self contained flats. land should not use an ast agreement. because of it being shared kitchen bathroom etc.

  6. This has crossed my mind, that they may change the locks again, but the whole court process is going to take a months, in the meantime they may sublet, damage and all sorts..

     

    You seem to have some experience, can i ask, from when you get the court order for possession how soon does it take to get the warrant for eviction ?

     

    it depends what work load the bailiff has. he will need to give them a minimum 8 days notice served via the letterbox or via royal mail for a secure access.. the court will tell the time scale from issue of warrant for repossession to the eviction

  7. The fact the tenants have keys to their own rooms makes your case stronger. You really need to speak to the police to make your intentions known

     

    You have every right to live in the property . The tenancy agreements give each tenant an allocated room. The rest is communal with one unit vacant. You have right to access your house. Except the let rooms wether the rent is behind or not

    The tenants do not have extra rights because they are in arrears.

     

    Speak to the police and ask for an officer to prevent a breach of the peace while you change the locks

     

    The police do not get involved in civil law. Only criminal.

    The tenants would have to prove harassment not just allege it. And as long have an officer with you to prevent breach of the peace. You will be fine

  8. if you think it was unfair then appeal. but remember with atos. its not whats wrong with you but what you say at the assessment. you could be bed bound. but say the wrong thing and your fit for work. there are plenty of stickys on here to guide you through

  9. I way I,m reading the police are giving you the option of giving them details of identifying the driver or nominating yourself. A lot of people have nominated fake drivers and got caught . At which point becomes perverting the course of justice.

    Advice here is given on the basis of your post. But if your your trying to avoid points and a fine Beware pc plod has seen this so many times

     

    If it was me I would give all the information they need. After all if mr smith borrowed your car and never returned You would provide all the information they needed to trace him

     

    Oh your letter will ring alarm bells with them quoting the human rights act don't scare them. Making yourself more of a target for further investigation. They leave the human rights act for the courts to decide

  10. if you were the one who booked the room then its you who agreed to the terms and conditions. travelodge are known to use the county courts to reclaim the damage costs. you need to speak to them and see if they,ll accept a lower fiqure

     

    normally they would charge it to your card if you have enough credit

     

    would a judge see it as a speculative invoice. damaged caused company had to replace and repair. travelodge did in fact suffer a loss

  11. ok

     

    how many letters did the insurance company send out to you.

    was you paying by direct debit.

     

    personally i would speak to the insurance company.

     

    your case would be you. you have sent sent the items needed and can produce the original documents. what need you from the insurance company is a letter confirming that had you been in an accident. because you had the documents requested. but for some reason they had not received them . they would have covered you.

     

    the police would then drop the case.

     

    if you paid by direct debit and only ever paid the deposit. then they would likely refuse to help because of lack of payments given you missed 4 payments without raising it
