    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.
    • I have initiated the breathing space so ill wait. from re reading everything this what i understand BS gives me 60 days break from the creditors during these 60 days they may contact me and will most likely default I need to wait until after a default notice to see whether the OC will keep the debt or sell it off If kept by the OC then i should attempt a plan or pay some token payment? If sold to DCA then don't pay and after 6 years it will leave my credit report once the DN is registered with a date. DCA may start a CCJ but unlikely, if they do come back here. last question, do you know roughly how long this will all take? in terms of defaults/default notice, potential CCJ? Would you say I have 12 months plus from when the BS ends?

    • 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,

Here is my situation.

1. I previously lived in a shared flat with three other people (they only had my name) , and I pad council tax on the flat , however a debt was run up whilst I still lived there from 98 - 2000, however I had a wages arrestment for 1800 pound made against me , which I had to pay , however some three years later I got a letter stating that I owed them a further two thousand pound for what, they have still to prove to me , anyway I explained to them , two other people were staying there , one on benefit , and the other working, I gave them both the names (I did not have their addresses) and as far as I was aware that was that , until again I got a letter from Scott and Co demanding the 2k again ?

So I called Scott & co and explained the fact that I had previously paid 1800 pound in arrears , and that this was agreed as being my debt settled by the council on completion of said arrestment , until the further two thousand pounds claim. Scott and co rightly said I needed to contact the council. I duly did so and they said that they would need to get someone to get back to me, of course no one ever has.

2. I have also got another two accounts for my two previous flats (Listed on application of inhibition) , both of which myself and my ex partner believe we had paid in full, however they of course deny this , and even denied receiving a 600 payment we made to Scott and co, and subsequently continued to bills us for the most recent flat previous to where I am now, and to add insult to injury then billed for six months when we were not living their. Despite all our attempts to tell them otherwise, as well as trying to say we owed them money from the flat previous to the previous if that makes sense at all.

None of which they have backed up or supported with any sort of proof.

3. Today I got in, and had a letter stating they were proposing an application for inhibition of sale, as we are trying to sell our flat (which I still reside in), however I have been off sick from work with disc problems / sciatica since early march , and they are trying to say we have arrears of 2.6 thousand for all combined (inc billing us for the whole year in advance) , however when we call them one person says there is nothing owed on the previous two flats , and another says there is !!!!!!!!

So in an attempt to sort it all out I again called them today and stated that the letter I received was in all fairness a bit of a joke, simply because I have called the office numerous times previously (May / June / July) about the debt from the previous flats and also the summary warrants they are trying to execute despite my calling them and them never calling me back when they say they will.

Also I calling them today to discuss the matter , I wanted to record my calls now, as they always deny any and all knowledge of any conversation I have had previous with them over the phone , and it is really getting me down (pop quiz, can I record my calls if they are just for my own use , and if so should I not even bother telling them., .

Anyway back to the point , I am sitting with a bill for over 2.6 grand , and a mandate they want me to sign for the full amount (we don’t agree with) or they will stop me selling the flat , now the guy I spoke to (A Hanlin) stated if I don’t sign and return it , they make the inhibition happen, and we cant sell out flat end of,

Basically they say we owe them X and we are sure we owe them Y , + the fact they are also trying to make me pay other peolpes tax we had previously agreed as being settled, even after I paid an agreed amount via an arrestment that should have settled it , ..

I think this may be a bit vague, but my head is such a mess now with it all, that I really am becoming very stressed and don’t think I can face speaking to them again.

I wanted to know what my rights are in terms of information I can legally request they give (re all accounts)

and also if, as I asked previously, If I can record my calls to them regarding this matter.

Any advice would be really appreciated asap.

thanks in advance

Eather
