      Advice needed regarding Eviction

      By WiltshireGuy81 · Posted

      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.

      General question about CCJ's if not enforced or extended after 6 years

      By dx100uk · Posted

      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.

      General question about CCJ's if not enforced or extended after 6 years

      By Andy111 · Posted

      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?.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Firstly, apologies if i have posted this in the wrong forum but i wasnt exactly sure where it fitted, im sure it will be moved to an appropriate forum if its in the wrong place...

last week during half term, my 13 year old son was attacked by a 30 year old adult male with a crook lock, whilst out playing with his three friends. The cause of the incident was pretty trivial, and it was actually one of the other lads who was repsonsible (by their own admittance). Any way, the upshot was this guy attacked my son with a crooklock, striking him on the arms and hand, pinned him up against a wall, made further threats of violence twoards him before throwing him over the garden wall.

My son received cuts to his hands arms stomach and chest, and ended up with severe bruising and swelling to his arms and hands...had his trousers ripped, phone broken and trainers ruined by blood!!! and not to mention emotional trauma..:x

my son started to walk home bleeding and crying when a local resident stopped to ask if he was ok. the lady cleaned him up while her husband called the police.

the police came to the house later and interviewed my son, and called the station to confirm that this was a section 47 assault. I may have the section 47 bit wrong but definately they called it assault.what else could it be!! It was 2 days before they arrested this particular individual. He admiitted the assault, but somehow this low life has only received a caution!!!

i was fuming after the incident, but i am even more angry now.. how can this be?? surely not only is it assault but assault on a minor? :-x

Also, the police never rang and explained the outcome to myself or his mother, but told my 13 year old the outcome directly wihtout us being present...that doesnt seem right either.

we have tried to contact the police since to ask about his damaged clothing and property but with no repsones...

 

so, what are my options, i dont believe a caution was severe enough, and i want to know how he will be re-imbursed for his losses:confused:

If the assailant had refused a caution then chances are he would have been taken to court & fined or even imprisoned............ However now where there is no permanent physical injury it's normal to offer a caution if the assailant has no previous for violence...............However you can do something ...........You can institute a civil claim for damages to include damaged clothing..............and personal injury to include the stress of being threatened by an adult

Forgot to mention but even if he has no money it's worth doing because assuming you are awarded a CCJ (which is highly probable) then you can harass the bum in the same way he did your kid & you never know he may win the lottery in which case you get paid:D

Hi kfdh1962

 

I was in a similar position as yourself, albe it that it was a teacher! One problem I found was that if I took him to court, yes he whould loose his job etc. But here is the big but! my son would have had to go on the at risk register by default. and I was not prepared to let that happen.

 

So what was the upshot?

 

I got a caution (don't ask questions) and he was allowed to leave his job! He did start a new teaching job in a different locality but someone twited on his past and they said he was unsuitable and let him go.

 

There is more than one way of skinning the dam thing

Good luck

 

If he gets found guilty he should end up on the child protection register, if he isn't already having accepted a caution. Not a nice prospect for the idiot.

 

Can you explain what you mean:confused:

 

The CP register is for children at risk of significant harm, not for adult offenders. Also we are talking here of making a cash claim in the small claims, guilt is not an issue as such.

By defaut meaning regardless of the outcome he would have been put on the 'at risk register'

 

I checked it all out and it is/was true and I/we were not prepared to go down that route.

 

 

Who told you this and what grounds were there for instigating CP procedures?

Who did you check it out with?

unsure about that. all I know he had pips and I had to come back off holiday for the pleasure. it was mid 90's. What I can remember is that it his office was the top but one floor and overlooked the lights. His secretarys office was to the left as you walked through the door. He sat on some council committees.

So you are saying you were told by social services without a CP conference that your child would be put on the CP register if you didn't accept a caution?

No that is not what I said

 

ok

 

My son was 10 or 11 last year at jounior school. We complained about a teachers choice of discussion i.e. My son new quite intermate details of his love life, how and why he had split for his girlfriend etc???? After the complaint this teacher started picking on my son to a point were he slid tacked him durring football training (which he joined in with for no reason)and brused all his leg and also grabed the back of his neck leaving brussing. Plus other things like throwing his books across the room and sending him outside for hours.

 

I then wanted to take it further but found out that as soon as it went to court my son would be placed on the at risk register regardless of why and who won. While in the process of moving schools I gained the caution.

 

After the events some teachers snarled, some looked away and some came and talked off the record.

 

You may say your case is different but! you have got to say why and how and because of his age a social worker will be there. I was trying to point out that you need to check before you do anything. But if your happy then ok Forget the advice
