    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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.

Hello all, i have been in arrears with my ge money (formerly i group) mortgage from day 1 (3 years ago) and have finally given up and decided to sell and move to rented accommodation. GE have indicated that they may be willing to accept a redemption payment in full and final settlement of less than the amount owed. I have to obviously provide details of costs etc and send them an offer in writing. Has anyone out there done this before and what percentage did you offer?

Did they say this to you in writing or on the phone??? What costs are they asking you to detail? Did they charge you any fees for being in arrears?

It was their collections guys who said they 'may' consider this based on the evidence I can supply and the offer I have from a buyer. They wanted everything from solicitors and estate agents fees to moving fees. My original mortgage was for 144,000, and after late payment charges (every month for 3 years) and my six month interest early repayment penalty my redemption figure is 157,000. I was going to supply the info they require and offer the original 144,000. Do you think this is an unreasonable starting point? I forgot to add that i'm on a variable rate interest only mortgage, and my monthly repayment has gone up from 980 to 1250 a month in the time i've had the mortgage

Have you got a buyer yet? I'm not quite sure as to what to advise. I think you really need to do some sums and then work out a reasonable offer. Try and calculate it on the basis of what money will be left over once the property has been sold. eg Sale of house = £? less all the fees for selling. If you have had the property for 3 years, you hopefully would of paid off some of the original mortgage. Were you tied into a term with them eg you had to stay with them for 5 years. If poss try and find the original mortgage application and check their figure for early redemption.

okey doke....the mortgage is interest only so nothing has come off the original amount, in fact we are having to accept an offer for 5000 less than we paid for it due to the horrendous drop in house prices in our area. We have a firm offer of 165,000 (survey done etc). The sticking point is I have second charges applied by the courts for a loan and credit card debt on the property which unless I can pay will apparently stop me from selling at all (worth 24,000), If I can negotiate with everyone concerned I may manage to drag myself out of the mire, but i'm not confident. Will any remaining debt become unsecured?

 

My mortgage provider also uses the interest rate now to calculate my early redemption penalty which makes it 1200 higher than if i'd changed provider immediately upon taking the mortgage out...bummer

Under the possession order you can go back to the court application fee is £30.00 and ask the Judge for an order allowing you to sell . The Judge has to look as to what is best you can then issue a secion 9 application to have your Mortgage company account for all the money they have taken from you once the house is sold. is is a short cut to mmaking them account for all the charges they applied

What usually happens when you sell a property with more than one charge on it is - first off the mortgage gets paid and then the remaining money is used to pay off the other charges in the order they were placed on your property.

 

What Bona has said makes sense ( although I will have to go and do a bit of research as to what section 9 actually is)

Section 9 is a little used application where you can apply for the otherside to address a situation it can only be used where there are proceedings you issue ther application they then have to then reply with in a time it is quiet compicated and I am in the procses of using it but you get a hearing much sooner thanif you issue a summons I got advice to use it but I cant untill we have the outcome of our costs hearing on Friday then we will issue the aplication for the morgtgae company to account for every penny they took on completeon when we sold our property the mortgage comapny then has give an account to the court of evry penny that they have taken and why they are also restricted in what they can do or cant do which from my research is to my benifit

I'm not in a position where a posession order has been applied for (not yet anyway) I'm selling to try and make a fresh start and get some quality of life back. Will the second charges stop me selling if I can't negotiate away the negative equity they will cause?

 

Thanks for your previous comments by the way :)
