    • 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.

Thanks Deller, just been reading your thread with interest.

 

Any news yet ?.

 

Also I filed my MCOL today, and it states that NW have 14 days to defend when filed, but they obviously choose to delay things.

 

Do you know how quickly MCOL file this and the 14 days start ticking ?.

 

Eager to get my money back, and before xmas would be just the tonic, then it's on to Capital One !.

I think they get 14 days to acknowledge the claim then once they've done this they get 28 days to give their defence (28 days from the date the claim was deemed served). You've now hit the stage where there seems to be a lot of waiting but just hang in there. Like they say ' all good things come to those who wait'.

Yes will do Deller. I can see from your dates that it was about 3 dates from the claim being filed to being acknowledged.

 

Will be glad to get the first one out of the way so that it makes it much easier to understand the protocol for getting after Capital One.

 

Thanks for your advice.

I filed my claim against Natwest on 30th Oct, and I noticed on MCOL that it was showing as date processed 4th November.

 

This then gave Natwest 14 days to 18th November to respond/file I think.

 

Presumably they now have a further 14 days from 18th Nov, ie. 2nd December to defend ?.

 

Not heard anything from Coblers yet apart from a letter from courts confirming they filed to defend.

Yes you're right with your dates Alex, and Cobbetts tend to use every last day too so expect some response on or around 2nd Dec!!:oops:

Hi All,

 

I received my letter from Cobblers dead on the deadline date as expected and the usual CPR Part 18 letter, which I did not complete as my claim is for just £1,200 in total.

 

I sent the template letter back from this excellent site on Monday, but received a letter from the courts yesterday confirming that my case has been transferred to a local court to me.

 

Also enclosed was an additional questionnaire form (small claims track). Do I need to complete this and send back to the courts ?. I am guessing so.

 

Have come so far now I don't want to make any mistakes, as I can smell the money coming back to me.

 

If somebody could give me a brief summary of what is likely to happen now, once I complete and return the AQ and having sent a response to Cobblers refusing the CPR Part 18.

 

Thanks as ever for all of the help, and I hope to contribute my 5% on winning !.

Yes you need to complete the AQ http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/11644-allocation-questionnaires-guide-completion.html

 

I would assume they will stall for a little while then offer you around 50%, Then they will come back with the full amount.

Thanks lively lad,

 

That feedback is excellent.

 

Everyone who knows what I am doing think I am mad, but I tell you what they are all watching closely and if and when I get my money, I can see a lot of them also jumping onboard !.

 

Thanks again.

I had the 50% offer prior to the defence and AQ, I guess they are trying to clear some of the backlog?

My advice has hardly any legal foundation whatsoever, however you never know it it might just work!

I too got my 50% offer prior to defence. I think they are trying to get people to accept part offers with the added pressure of Xmas on peoples minds!!

I can expect an offer of 50% then can I !!

 

Looks like it may be Jan before I get my money now, but I can sit and wait.

 

:) :) :)

 

 

They are devious trying to bribe people with lower offers in the hope that they will settle because of Xmas. Dirty sly tactic. Hold out for the full amount of your money. :D

I submitted my claim for charges made between 13th April 2000 and 4th November 2005, however my MCOL did not start until 30th October 2006.

 

I have had a letter from Natwest today offering me £160 and stating that I can only claim for the period of the last 6 years which would exclude 15 of my entries.

 

The remaining total is therefore only approx. £150 of exceeded charges, and yet I have paid my £120 court fee also.

 

What should I do ? Accept the offer or do I have any other form of recourse for these 15 charges from 13th April 00 to 29th Sept 00 ?.

 

Some help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Alex

No, don't worry about the 15 entries. Write back to them rejecting the offer and accepting the £160 as an interim settlement only. They will withdraw the offer.

Include in your letter something along the lines of the following.

"You have stated in your letter that NatWest will not consider any claim over six years old, alleging that it is time barred under the Limitations Act 1980. I shall be claiming, under S.32 (1) (b) and © LA 1980 that NatWest has knowingly concealed the unlawful nature of its charges from its customers, and I was not aware of this fact until the last few months - nor could I, as a layperson, be expected to be so aware. I am therefore giving you this opportunity to reconsider your decision not to refund charges extending back beyond 30 October 2000."

 

FYI -

 

S.32(1)(b) relates to concealment of facts leading to the cause of action rather than concealment that the charges were unlawful. So you would need to establish that they concealed the the true cost of the services they were providing in relation to your breaches - and their standard 'our charges are fair, clear and transparent' sentence is probably an enormous help in doing so.

 

Hope that helps. If it does, click the scales!

Absolutely not. It's raising a point that you may wish to argue in court (if it gets that far) so the last thing you want to do is exclude it! (Which is what WP does)

Hi, Alex

 

Has NatWest filed its defence yet? It should have done, if your MCOL was filed 30 October - in fact, they're well overdue. Is 30 Oct the date you actually filed?

I received a letter on 8th Dec. stating that they would offer me just £160 and saying that as my first 15 entries were older than 6 years these would not stand up.

 

Somebody kindly sent me advice on how to respond which I have done claiming that I am not a layman etc and stating that I would accept the £160 as partial payment.

 

I have not heard anything further from Cobblers. Can I contact the courts now to progress ?. Even without my first 15 entries I am owed £200 plus my £120 court fees.

 

Cheers
