    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • 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.

Hi All,

 

I've just bought a new car (well, second-hand, new to me), and the tax runs out at the end of this month.

 

I want (well, not want, but you know what I mean) to retax it, I have it insured and it's just passed an MOT, but I don't have the V5 as that has been sent to the DVLA. I'm hopeful that the insurance cert will arrive before Friday, but what do I do about the V5?

 

I still have the green slip that I shall send to the DVLA tomorrow with my address etc...or should I keep that and give it to the post office when I go to buy the tax?

You do not need to send the green slip to the DVLA. It is effectively your 'receipt' for V5/proof of RK until the new V5 arrives in your name - in response to the previous keeper sending in the rest of the 'old' V5.

 

You can use the green slip in place of a V5 to obtain VED for up to 2 months from purchase (if you haven't received a proper V5 by then - chase the DVLA)

Excellent - thanks for that; I was hoping that was the case, as it runs out this week.

 

All I have to do now is hope that the insurance certificate turns up before then!

Yes, pat is correct. Never ever send the green slip. You're not meant to. That is what you use to tax it. You are relying on the previous owner to send the V5 to DVLA to notify change of ownership. If they never bother to, no new V5 will be issued to you. This would mean that you would have to apply for a new V5 in your name on a V62. This is normally £25, however if you have the green slip and staple it to the application it is free. So, keep it safe!

Oh, I don't like the sound of sending anything original to the DVLA. They've lost so many letters/application forms etc... of mine that I would rather send a copy.

Honestly? Wow.

 

I dread sending them anything - they lose about 75% of everything I send them. My ex partner has had the same experience. They even sent her tax disc to the wrong address, then wanted to charge her 25 quid to have it sent again.

Yes, it really is true. Often when I buy cars that have no V5 and have to apply for one they come in seven to ten days. Never the four to six weeks that they say it may take. None have ever gone astray. VED refunds, I have always received. I know of no customer that has never received their new V5. I really am tempting fate now! :(

Well, I am astonished - maybe it's something to do with the area in which you live then perhaps?

 

Don't know, maybe my name ;-)

Will the post office take it off me when they give me the tax, or do they just want to see it?

No, they will (or should) give it straight back to you. As I said, a new V5 will not be generated until DVLA receive the old V5 from the last owner showing change of ownership.

Fair play. Thanks for that chaps (and chappesses!).

 

If I tax it tomorrow (assuming the cert arrives) I'll get the full whack won't I? Not 11 months or something?

You can tax a SORN'd car to begin in the next calendar month two days before the end of the current month. He should have waited until Friday!

He wanted it on the road like yesterday teenagers for you ...... I tried to get him to wait but it's his first car ... newly passed driver
