    • 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 medication 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 stef

 

welcome to the thread, glad you like some of the cooking that we all have tried.

 

On the question of getting the small or the 12Ltr one, go for the 12Ltr because you are limited to only very small meals and hardly get anything in the small one i.e. a chicken would be very tight in a small one, someone on here did have a small one then upgraded to the large.......if you go onto sarahs site silicon moulds you can get the cooker and the accessories for one price other wise you will have to buy seperate, as you can see that we all have tried different things so it is better to buy the large one then having to spen twice on upgrading .....am i waffling on.....if and when you decide to get one please join in and post what ever you do, and any help you need we will all try and help you.

 

good luck you will never look back

Hi

 

thanks so much for your replies. Yup, I already read the 19 pages...and yummyyyyyyyy. Me hungry now.

 

I had a look at Sarah's site. The cooker seems good. Does it really matter which brand it is? I always find reviews of JML and Flavorwave cookers. Ideally I would like to go in a shop and get a cooker. Also I am on a limited budget. Are there any cheaper ones that do the trick? is a maximum of GBP 40,- incl. shipping a realistic budget?

 

Thanks again. As soon as I have my cooker I will upload pix of my cooking disasters. lol

 

Cheers

 

Stef

Hmmmm. I really like the HC on Sarah's site. They even have replacement bulbs... Does anyone know what the measurements of a 12L oven is? Just an estimate would be helpful. I am on limited space... Taa very much. Cheers, Stef

 

hi stef

 

about 33cm high

41 cm total circumferance for the base handle to handle

33cm for the bowl circumferance..

 

you could always put out of the way when not in use, if you have a cooker top/hob you can rest it on there if not in use

That could work. I need to try it out. i could get rid of my microwave oven which takes up a lot of space, and also my 2-hob portable stove. I won't be needing those anymore I guess. Hey, is it possible to reheat a cup of coffee in this HC? Maybe a stupid question, but I was just wondering if I could just put a cup inside the bowl and reheat for a few seconds...like I do in the microwave.

Just a stupid question, but is it possible to put a cup of coffee inside the bowl and reheat it for a couple of seconds like I do in the microwave? Sorry about all those questions, but I really want to be sure that a HC is the item for me to get. I need to check usability and space. Taaa again :-)

never tried heating coffee.....keep the microwave as you will need to part cook things i.e. jacket potatoes and reheat things but just put away the 2 ring hob do not throw away .....as if the halogen goes down you will need something to cook on.......if you think that you could do without them just put away not throw away just in case you change your mind.....have you got a kettle....lol

LOL...I live on limited space. there is no putting away...there is only keeping or getting rid of it. Lol. Hm..I thought I could reheat things with the HC? Yup..kettle is available. LoL

 

well just tried to heat a cup of water but the cup was to hot to handle and the water was cold, unless someone else knows about reheating the coffee.

 

at least the HC will give you a chance for you to cook a more variety of dinners and not just microwave meals, a good roast dinner and jacket potatoes etc.......

true. I will definitely get a HC. Am just checking prices etc. Does the brand really matter? I read a review from daily mail where they tested 6 different HCs, and the results were different. Which brands would you consider good, and which ones are to avoid?

 

 

well the reason why i said sarahs is because you get all the extras with it..(i did get my brother one)

i use the jml one myself and a my mates use one from coopers.......but you could always buy of the shopping channel where you can try first and send back if not satisfied,but more expensive without the extras ,,,but anything you buy you have a statatory 12 months warranty on them. The ones i mentioned have had no problems returning them if faulty within the 12 months.

 

As you can see that most of us on here have one of the ones named and you can see the results.

 

I could send you the cooked chicken cooked in the JML.....lol

I bought 2 of these 3 months ago from TJ.Hughes (collection)

I read lots of reviews and opted for the Elgento 12 ltr which was reduced from £44.95 to £35.

I managed to find lots of online recipe and cookbooks-easy enough but used lots of ink printing them off since they are in Colour.

3 months later-no problems to report.

Kiptower had previously given me lots of tips and pointers during our daily Skype conversations over many months.

Will do a more detailed appraisel when I can find some time.

The only thing that has shown to be a negative is the Electricity consumption if you are doing things like Casseroles.

I recently tried a Lamb hotpot which took over 2 hours.

In am on a prepayment electricity meter and observed that the process used 90p.

Just something to be aware of.

Hi. I found something on ebay and need your opinion, please. There is a seller who has a halogen oven 12L incl. all accessories for 39.99GBP incl shipping. That sounds good..but is it too good to be true?

 

This is the one: NEW ARRIVAL 12L Halogen Oven Cooker +£75 14PCS GIFT+DHL, item no: 150499682748

 

What do you think? To buy or not to buy, that is the question :-)

 

Thanks so much for your help.

 

Cheers

Hi. I bought the one I found on ebay. Just received it and will now put it to the test. 1st dish: Moroccan style tagine with chicken tigh and couscous and veggies from M&S dine in for 2. It says on the packaging preheat oven to 180 (fan)/220 C. I preheated the HC to 200 (golden middle). gently cover Tagine with aluminium foil and cook for 25 mins. i try 20 mins and see what happens. Then take foil off, stir and cook for further 20 mins. i will try 15 mins. Wish me luck.....

Hi Locutus. Thanks for posting my ix. I have no idea, how to get 20 posts. My count always stays on 0 for some reason...I cannot post links or pictures. Too bad as I really would like to add more photos of my cooking experiences. Today I will try to make marinated chicken cubes and also bake some rolls. Wish me luck. Thaaanks :-)
