    • Hi I have to agree with @unclebulgaria67 post#3 For the funding side of moving to a new area and it being private supported accommodation I would also suggest speaking to private supported accommodation provider about funding but also contact the Local Council for that area and have a chat with them about funding because if you are in receipt of Housing Benefit certain Supported Accommodation that meets a certain criteria is treated as ‘exempt accommodation’ for Housing Benefit purposes but you need to confirm this with that relevant Council in your new area especially since it is Private Supported Accommodation as each Council can have slightly different rules on this. If you have a certain medical condition look up the charities and also have a wee chat with them as they may be able to point you to different Grants to assist with moving costs and your question about funding for private supported accommodation as well.
    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all

    • 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.

Thats the truth ODC , I suppose im looking for proof that it wasnt an "error" i know and you know we all know it goes on , though that doesnt prove it , i would like to stand in front of a judge and tell them its mass abuse of the system , with figures to back it up.

I think a request under the Freedom of Information Act requsting details of how many Judgements were issued against people with a BT postcode may well be the way to go. If Crapqust had obtained more than one of these then that in my opinion would prove abuse of the system. They cant play the error card or the stupid card. They after all are the so called professionals

Mailed this of to MCOL

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I am mailing you in order to assertain if i have the right to request some information under the freedom of information act. I am aware that debt collectors are abusing the court process at MCOL by bringing actions against people who reside outside of the courts jurisdiction ie N.Ireland and Scotland . . I have recently been on the recieving end of one of these fraudulently obtained CCJS myself . Therefore if permissable, i request that you provide me with a list of CCJs issued for the BT postcode with the name of the company who bought the action to the court . If it is not within your remit to authorise the release of this information , i would appreciate if you could provide me with the email address of someone who may be able to assist me in gaining the required information.

Got an email from MCOL the guy dealing with me is checking to see if i can have the information . Nothing from Cap as yet day 7 tomorrow , thinking i was unwise with the email should of just posted recorded delivery . Just a further thought , if there are two people of the same name living in a house which credit file do they trash considering there is no date of birth on the court papers.

Keep the pressure up on Crapquest. If there is no response by the weekend send them the letter by recorded delivery and refer to the email.

 

A nice little touch is to put

OFT

The mention of the Rt. Hon Member for Belfast West:cool: should have the desired effect to their bowel movements. Just a liyyle reminder that you havent gone away you know:D

Irrespective of whether they agree to settle or not, I would still involve OFT FSA et al. also a reuest as to how MCOL is an accomplice to fraudulant practices, I'm sure Gerry and his mates will love sticking it to the British Legal system allowing illegalities in its own name

 

I would also contact the individual CRA's and instruct them to remove any record of this illegal CCJ (and lay out why it is illegal) as it is defamation. If they refuse or fail to remove it, then you potentially have yet another beneficiary to your christmas fund

Recieved this mail from MCOL

 

Thank you for your email. Please be advised that Money Claim Online can only be used if both the claimant and defendant have an address within England or Wales for the service of court documents and claims outside of this jurisdiction cannot be issued through us. (WANNA BET ? )

 

Also please note that we are unable to view any case details without a claim number.

 

Now in three seperate emails i have sent them i stated quite clearly i was aware of the rules of jurisdiction and had still had an illegal judgement made against me . They in their 3 replys have still to mention anything about any illegal judgements.

I think this backs up Spamheeds theory

My reply

 

I am well aware that your guideline states that only people who reside in England and Wales can be processed through your court.

 

However i do not live in England or Wales and i have had a county court judgement issued against me through MCOL . I have contacted the company involved and they state they made an error . These companies are supposed to be profesional and to provide the word Error as an excuse is beyond belief.

 

I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions for me

 

1 How can a judgement be entered in my case ? I have never had an address inside of your jurisdiction

 

2 What procedures are in place to stop this happening ?

 

3 Do you are rely on DCAs providing you with statements of truth on these maters ?

 

4Was the statement of truth in my case perjury.

 

5 What dissaplinary action is taken against DCAs for knowingly breaking the law ?

 

6 What recourse do i have against this company?

Time for a Formal Freedom of Information request to see how many "errors" were made in processing CCJs against NI and Scottish victims.

You should also make a formal complaint that the actually issued a judgement against you. Let them take it up with Crapquest. Either way it's not your problem that they are stupid. I look forward to helping you pee the compensation up againt the toilet wall of the aptly named Crown Liquor Saloon.

Like all official departments and processes they have to follow the rules, send them the same request but with the correct claim numbers etc.

 

I think this comes under the hedading of "giving them enough rope"

 

Obviously when you have enough evidence that none of the people involved in this highly illegal activity seem overly surprised of such an occurance and equally extremely unwilling to accept responsibility or liability for the counter claim which is almost certainly going to generate no small amount of interest from the media.

 

Rather thanlimiting your action to having a dig at the DCA, I wouuld also wish to include the courts and even the Crown service, see how much embarrassment/damage can be done and maximise your compensation claim.

The MCOL state that unless i have claim numbers they are unable to supply details of any ccjs , freedom of information act or not. Of course i can give them mine , i want them to tell me how they prevent these cases arising , if they cant tell me then it will become blatantly obvious that they dont care .

I will submit it to them , i havent actually raised a complaint with them as yet , i just find it strange that i have mentioned my lovely ccj 3 times and not one of them has went OH THAT shouldnt happen please do tell us all about it. !

 

I had originally contacted them to try assertain how many illegally issued ccjs they have on their books , but without claim numbers they wont tell me , now if i had the claim numbers i would already have the information i require, its like talking to a DCA

I would still go ahead with a request under the FOI. Im sure they have access to addresses by postcode. You will probably have to make a formal written request quoting all the proper guff but the information is their and should be a couple of computer keys away for them to access. Im sure like every other computer if you give it a postcode it will churn out loads of info

Got their reply this morning , just what i was expecting. My papers were put in the wrong pile for litigation ,one pile for England/ Wales the other Scotland and here. In reply to my statement that they knowingly went to the wrong court . NO FOUNDATION You have no knowledge as to whether the submission of your claim was incorrect or through error , We consider it innappropriate for you to make a statement in these terms.

 

You mention the indication of the use of bailifs . We are aware that in Northern Ireland the enforcement is through the Northern Ireland enforcement office The letter was generated as part of the process following a judgement . The sending of the letter flowed from the same initial error as the judgement.

 

A lot of other gumf folks but basically they say there are no foundations for any of my accusations , they consider their apology adequete and believe that any of the relevant bodies will agree with them . They say if i can prove that i was refused credit because of the ccj they would compensate me . Or if i can successfully dispute the debt and take them to court . Far to much crap for me to type up over two pages at the min but will get it done. Whats the success rate for wins over cap 1s agreements circa 2006 ?

Its not your fault one of their highly trained professional experts put the file in the wrong pile. The simple FACT is that they not only applied for a CCJ in the wrong court but having wrongly been granted it decided to seek to enforce it. Now these are professional debt collectors who should be aware of the law. If even a layman such as I can see quite easily that Northampton CC has NO jurisdiction over Northern Ireland then surely one would expect a so called professional outfit like Crapquest to check their facts befor making a serious error whether deliberate or accidental.

 

You must make a formal complaint to the FOS, the OFT, Trading Standards, MCOL and the CSA as well as your MP.

 

Go ahead with your formal Freedom of Information Request and you will see how many more of these errors Crapquest have made.
