    • Hello Friends. I cannot believe it but im being evicted again, i was given a section 48 notice 4 months into my tenancy. I already went through this process last year, i overstayed in my last place by a few months and left on 6th Oct 2023. I knew to check all the documentation that they sent to see if the notice is legal, it looks like it is. I took this place out of desperation as i had to vacate that last place. I hate this place so im not bothered about leaving it.    These cowboys lied to me when i viewed the house. I told the agent that i was evicted from my last house and naturally i dont want this to happen again. She said  the landlord has no plans to sell the house. What she did not tell me was that the landlord had tried to sell the house last year and failed. So it looks like they have used me to fill in the short period of time until its time to sell again. I did see it advertised online.   I told them im not in a strong enough financial position to find another property, cost of a deposit, 1 months rent and moving costs.   They have told me they are starting legal proceedings. They have sent me an invoice for £395 but i have not even received the court paperwork.    I dont like the job im in so i have decided to relocate to a better job and hopefully find cheaper rentals.   I can post a copy of the notice if needed.  
    • yes a judgement sorry I used the wrong word before
    • Hi So on Friday I received a copy on email from the claimants solicitors with an attached relief from sanctions application - on the basis that the solicitor missed the deadline for the additional directions and it was an oversight on their part and that the claimant should therefore not suffer.   They then attached a copy of the deed of assignment and a new witness statement.  They stated that they would be happy to delay the court date by 28 days but that they believed both parties were ready for the court case on 7th June. My first question, is there anything I need to do or do I just sit and wait to see what is decided?  Secondly, is it likely the judge will be aware that the claimants solicitors did exactly the same in the set aside court case (ie they filed their court bundle late and applied for relief from sanctions on the morning of the court date, and my solicitors had no choice but to agree because they threatened to strike my case out because my solicitors had only filed their court bundle by email and not post).  This is a clear pattern of how these solicitors work rather than it being a one off oversight! 
    • I shall find the link later this evening. It was about couples not living together but being liable for council tax. I was never married or in an official civil partnership. We lived together for 18 months, I then left for 6 months for work but continued to pay my half of the bills and rent.   We then split up I gave up my tenancy she took it all in her name. She then decided to move in with me 5 months later. She then banned me from going back to my house eventually let me back in then called the police. Took over my house and is now only paying the rent not the bills so I will be landed with those to. So over the course of our relationship I have ended up paying her debts for 5 different addresses, personal loans and credit cards. If I refuse to pay them she makes more accusations.

    • 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.

If anyone, who has legal representation in their fight with LBL, has been offered or even accepted a settlement directly or indirectly or has been told they will lose their vehicle or are liable for costs if they refuse please contact your solicitor as a matter of urgency as a statement may be required

hi johnchris

 

i advised on a thread about this recently

the client accepted from log book that the account was now closed and no further action if he signed on the dotted line

 

i believe stephensons sols were dealing with it.

 

i told him the only reason they would do that would be if the sols had some thing on log book.

 

i thought it strange as the sols were acting for him, he did not contact the sols for advice before accepting

 

 

care to elaborate on your post

are log book loans up to some thing

Just for the record, I have signed nothing from Stephensons or any other solicitors that has any reference to retaining services, they never got round to sending it to me.

 

It was all pro-bono unless documents had to be submitted to the court, in which case costs would then be apportioned. As to checking with Sols, it is hard to do at 7:30PM on a Friday evening.

 

Sign or we will take your car now? Quite a simple decision and in my favour. As for Paul Foster, yes, I have been in contact with him and have emails stating that the offer is genuine and my account is closed.

For the record If you have signed nothing your not a client of Stephensons so this notice thread is meaningless to you & it may explain why you were made the offer

 

If your happy then sobeit but don't try & scare folk into settling on the same terms as you did because as you may find out in the fullness of time you may have been wrong to do so

 

Also I'm sure you'll agree NOT being client of Stephensons makes it impossible to know if some posters are genuine or not

I *WAS* a client of Stephensons on a pro-bono basis. hence my recieving regular letters, updates etc. As for settling, people will do what they want to do at the end of the day, be it settle or hold out for a better offer which is their perogative.

 

If you really think that *everyone* is going to get a massive settlement, you are wrong. How much money do you think LBL has once it has cleared peoples Legal Fees and their own? You will probably find they will just liquidate themselves and not pay.

 

Either way, IMHO all you will get at the end of the day is title to your car returned back to you, I just wanted that sooner rather than later. My decision, and respect to everyone else for doing what is best for them.

Really & you know all that how exactly

 

Anyway not going to get into a weeing contest with you. As I said if your happy & accepted what you have been told then sobeit

 

In the meantime this thread is for those who may benefit from understanding they don't have to accept what it's alleged they have been told & that before doing anything they should speak to their solicitor before committing their name to any document

Fine but stop trying to frighten people with the likes of "they'll liquidate if everyone claims" etc: or trying to imply you have any idea what a settlement might be

 

All you appear to be doing is serving LBL's purpose by suggesting they accept whats been offered

Hi Jon Cris, now i'm worried and confused??? I signed the agreement without a second thought? Just on a bit of a high that our 2 year ordeal was over???? I rang stephensons the next day and asked what i did now? He said he would ring me back but I haven't heard anything yet?

My case is the same as h775bpx?? I got the info but no forms were ever signed? What do I do?

Jon Cris, I am not trying to frighten anyone, this constant "post tennis" we are playing serves no purpose. As you are an ex-solicitor I will give up trying to explain myself.

 

Suffice to say. I did what was right for me, everyone else do what is right for you! Simple as.

 

I will not respond to this thread again as I have been made out to be "scaremongerer". If ANYONE wants any advice, feel free to PM me and I will give you whatever impartial advice I can.

 

Thanks

How can you offer advice on this? You accepted LBL's highly dubious 'offer' and that was your choice. If people want advice they can ask Stephensons or someone else with a degree of knowledge. You obviously believe what you believe, but stating stuff like "You will probably find they will just liquidate themselves and not pay. " makes it look like you have some degree of interest in people accepting this strange arrangement from strangers knocking on their door at 'out-of-office' hours.

LBL's business plan is to take advantage of the desperate and the mis-informed, they didn't expect any of their 'customers' to ever take any legal action and their reaction to this legal action has been to delay at every stage and maximise costs for the claimant. This method of offering a 'way out' is merely a continuation of taking advantage of the weak. I bet nobody has been presented with this 'one-off' deal during Stephensons working hours?

I have said this before but it is very telling that they couldn't get a decent legal firm to act for them, and instead employ a dodgy one-man-band cowboy outfit.

Look, I dont have any interest, this is getting ridiculous. My opinions are my opinions, simple as, and quite frankly I am getting bored of having to justify myself on here.

 

As to offering advice, I CAN offer advice relating to MY situation, LBL as a company, I can not. There are also a couple of people on here and I will not name names who have taken my advice, and now have their debt written off.

 

Suffice to say I DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT LBL ANYMORE. Let people make there own decisions.

I am not here to sit in judgement of you or anyone else.

However, as we are dealing with such an unscrupulous set of sharks I personally would not recommend this kind of 'deal' - once you pull out of legal proceedings you are rudderless, if these people turn up for your car further down the line who will you turn to? So, without wishing to worry you unnecessarily, your last sentence will only be proved in time.

 

People should only take 'advice' by those with who offer wisdom. LBL know how to 'play' the system, their whole business has been based upon exploiting the gap between criminal and civil law, and by abusing the civil justice system as much as they possibly can. What they are apparantly doing now is just another example of this abuse of process.

 

Tread very carefully!

Please do not overlook the fact that CAG is a self help group JonCris.

 

Whether you agree with h755bpx decision or not, and whether you agree with his opinions or not is immaterial. It is up to everyone to decide for themselves whether they want to take them on board, or yours, or form different opinions and decisions based on their own circumstances.

 

By all means explain why you disagree if you wish, but if people already have legal representation, there is little point them coming to a self-help website for advice (especially apparently from their own solicitor who I would hope would contact their clients directly), unless they have something positive to offer which may prove useful for those dealing with their own claims.

I am well aware of that Caro but this poster is asking victims to PM him why? what is it that he can't state here.

 

Almost of not all are already have legal representation & frankly don't need to be encouraged to seek the advice of a lay person

 

Does he or CAG for that matter want to be responsible for encouraging members to accept anything less than their lawful entitlement on the grounds of, what was it? oh yes I remember that LBL might go bust. What nonsense

 

I have already sent the Mods a PM which I must assume you have failed to read otherwise you wouldn't be encouraging such intervention

 

I understand the solicitors are now aware of what's being claimed here & are contacting their many LBL clients as fast as they can

I have not encouraged any intervention, and naturally would not agree with people offering advice by PM, as you are fully aware. My impression is that the poster has suggested this due to the forceful responses s/he has received. Thank you for pointing this out to everyone reading the thread

 

I don't suppose many who have appointed solicitors would seek the opinion of a lay person, but I'm sure they can decide for themselves if they wish to take note of different views or not.

 

It's interesting to note that the solicitors are getting information from CAG to help their clients. Perhaps that is an indication of the usefulness of ALL of the information and views expressed here.

 

Your have made your views very clear and I see no benefit in labouring the points any further.

I doubt CAG was of any help to he solicitors

 

I posted simply to advise victims that they might be being misled into settling for less by being told some utter nonsense.

 

This advice post was hijacked

 

I reiterate if anyone is offered a settlement before accepting contact your lawyer things may not be what they seem

I dont agree with jumping on other member's of the forum just because their views or decisions do not conform with that of the poster's and have no idea why as adults the forum is not just used to discuss the situation at hand.

 

I am still awaiting the important notice regarding logbook loans that the thread hints of. And as yet fail to see it.

 

What I can say is having just gained access to my university account having not been able to use if for some months I came across an email from a Julita Losowski from the Office of Fair Trading who is apparently investigating Logbook Loans.

 

As the email was sent back in June I responded to her to advise on why I had not been in touch and it would appear she is still collecting information. I have supplied her with a Statement of Truth Witness Statement as was her request and have included everything right up to the events of being made the offer on the 12th September.

 

Maybe this is old news but if not and if anyone is interested in contacting her and providing information regarding Logbook loans to help OFT gather their information then I am happy to forward a copy of the Statements Guidance Note with the questions asked and the Permissions to disclose form with email unless people feel it would be better posted on Forum.

 

As for the offer from Logbook loans, I would appreciate some info on whatever knowledge can be shared about that. However as stated on a previous thread I did forward my information to the solicitor who has acted on the information supplied and like a previous poster had already stated, when the offer came the first thing one assumes is that finally this can now be over and whether it can be seen as wishful thinking or blind faith, sometime for once I would like to believe not everyone is all bad and that some people can perform an act of good no matter how terrible they have behaved. But as the picture with Logbook loans seems to be getting bleaker by the second I guess I can only hope my solicitor remains two steps ahead of them.

I'm fighting back and ready to go :D who will be my first victim? LBL, Brighthouse.

 

..."If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life."

 

I am not here to insult or offend...just to offer advice and seek advice as all this is a learning experience, such is the cycle of life...for those that would wish to insult me for my thoughts or deeds...Stay Blessed for I know my heart is pure with no ill thought towards YOU. :cool:

I never started this thread with the intention that it be a place for discussing the LBL offer

 

It was started to advise victims that what some alleged they been told is not correct & they are not required to agree to what's on offer

 

If anyone chooses to ignore my advice & want's to settle then sobeit that's their privilege

 

I believe do know whats going on but I'm not going to discuss it on an open forum also if anyone has not yet spoken with their solicitor please remember your not their only LBL client by a long stretch

 

In the meantime I can only advise that members try again to contact their laywer before agreeing any settlement

h755 please don't insult our intellegence your advice is not impartial by any stretch of imagination

 

Like you say you are happy but please stop offering poor advice to people who already have legal representation

 

JonCris, I used to have to face bullies like yourself in school, and overcome them so you words do not worry me or bother me. What I will tell you is, I have a right to put my opinions and experiences on this forum whenever I like, and as long as I do not breach any rules, there isnt a damned thing you can do to stop me.

 

This isnt the first time you have jumped on someone on the forum for speaking their OWN opinion, as a grown adult (which I presume you are) you should listen to other peoples opinions and they do not have to justify them to you.

 

The bottom line is, I settled and I am happy MY SITUATION! If other people want to, then thats their CHOICE! YOU are the one bullying people into taking this matter as far as it will go.

 

One more thing, everytime I post a response is not necessary, I will not get into a "who has the last word" scenario with you, if you want it, be my guest and reply, but dont expect a response from me as I am bored of your whole argument now.

 

One other thing, A BIG THANK YOU to the folks that HAVE PM'd me THANKING me for any advice I could give in my limited knowledge.

 

Oh, in case anyone is interested, the HPi interest HAS been removed from my vehicle and I AM NOT liable for any legal fees.
