    • 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.

Since neither you or Fluffy have never started a thread on this site you obviously do not have a problem that needs advice from caggers neither of you have ever offered any advice from which a needy cagger could draw courage, all your posts have been negative so I ask the same questions of you that I asked fluffy and received no reply to.

What draws you to this site? What interest does it hold for you?

 

HCE in reply to your post what questions:

There were but two questions and I thought that by highlighting them you would not have to search to hard to find them!

But its sound advice....

 

No matter how Wealthy or Poor you may be, people posting here end up in this situation through greed and want of luxuries they cannot afford.

 

Even if you are on a low income or have no income there are FORMS you fill in and send to the council, then HEY PRESTO! your CT bill is either exempt or vastly reduced based on the info you provide on the form. There is no excuse for not paying your CT.

 

All on here tell a sob story, but be honest, there is no excuse...... mostly its due to GREED is why these situations arise and i have no sympathy for you.

 

This money needs collecting OR the rest of us will end up paying on your behalf via a vast increase in the amount WE pay, and regardless what you think of bailiffs, that makes YOU in the wrong.

 

You all really need to change your perspective and change the advice you give on here to prevent tax bills going up for the rest of us.

Not half as sick as we feel about the illegal charges made by bailiffs who seem to have an over-inflated ego.

 

All fees are high no matter what the industry. Solicitors fees, Court fees , dentist fees, surveyors fees..... and are you really to daft to know why?

 

Have you any idea how much it costs to run a big organisation? The money has to come from somewhere, and yes guess what........

 

ITS FEES!!!!

 

But amazingly, if you comply with the law and pay your CT, you dont have to pay those FEES!

Bailiff is an unskilled job. Explain why it requires any higher fee than 20p and a kick up the ass?

 

It is certainly not a debtors problem if the owner of a Bailiff company has a 5 bedroom house and a top range mercedes to look after.

 

The entire bailiff system could be replaced next week with a system that would be extremely fast, efficient and save an absolute fortune - it would also cut down council tax departments and debt collection and save the taxpayer an absolute fortune.

 

It would mean the end of people being terrorized, bullied, assaulted, having their property removed in what is very clearly a breach of human rights as the only reason goods are removed is to punish the debtor for being in debt, even though being in debt is supposedly not an offence.

 

Sure, the ex bailiffs will have trouble finding a real job, being a bunch of illiterate anti social brutes. But sadly I don't give a flying *** what happens to them.

BLF, its not just about council tax though is it??

so just because some one finds themselves in a position where they either feed their family or pay the council tax/parking fine etc and opt to feed their kids, it does not give a bailiff a god given right to threaten, bully, assault, lie or cheat for their own monetary gain. You say if people paid their taxes there would be no reason for a forum like this, well take a leaf from your own book because if bailiffs followed the laws that were put in place then no one would have cause to hate the bailiff industry so much and like wise about this forum.

Tell that to a pensioner

 

Even if you are on a low income or have no income there are FORMS you fill in and send to the council, then HEY PRESTO! your CT bill is either exempt or vastly reduced based on the info you provide on the form. There is no excuse for not paying your CT.

 

Having filled in the forms they are then told they have 10p to much coming in to qualify for the HEY PRESTO exemption or vastly reduced Council Tax. So they are faced with feeding the family or giving what little they do have to the Council for an annual bill they want paying in 10 months, not the twelve months everyone recognises makes a calander year. By spreading this tax over a year, then those who have been refused help, would at least face lower repayments and possibly reduce the burden

 

All on here tell a sob story, but be honest, there is no excuse...... mostly its due to GREED is why these situations arise and i have no sympathy for you.

 

There are those who have suffered at the hands of your industry because when mistakes are made they will not even listen to what is being told to them, even when they are given proof they don't owe the debt the Bailiff still insists on clamping the car, terrorising with threats to take goods, threats of arrest etc. and all because he has a piece of paper he thinks gives him that right. So you are wrong again not all on here tell a sob story.

 

This money needs collecting OR the rest of us will end up paying on your behalf via a vast increase in the amount WE pay, and regardless what you think of bailiffs, that makes YOU in the wrong.

 

You all really need to change your perspective and change the advice you give on here to prevent tax bills going up for the rest of us.

 

If your taxes go up then you can always fill in one of your HEY PRESTO forms for the GREEDY if of course your'e not 10p over the limit then you will have no worries will you?

Let me allow reality to intrude on your fantasy BLF.

 

I was made redundant last year. Because my partner works I could only get contributions based JSA.

 

That JSA has now run out so I do not get any benefits.

 

The problem is, my partner only earns approx £650 a month.

Our rent is £500 a month.

Council Tax is £90 a month.

This leaves £60 a month to feed and clothe 2 people, pay for the partners travel to work, electric, gas. Oh and I am diabetic so generally cannot eat "cheap" microwave meals as they are packed with sugar.

 

What is your solution other than having to get into arrears with the Council Tax?

 

The council said my partners earnings were "too high" to claim housing benefit and council tax benefit.

The Inland Revenue said we are not entitled to tax credits.

So no magic hey presto forms for us.

 

What is your solution? How would you deal with this ?

oh but there are hundreds of jobs out there for people like you and I, didnt you know this, they pay great wages have nurses at hand for your every need just in case you relapse and there are people to help carry you down the stairs if you happen to be on the first floor or above in case there is a fire because lifts are not permitted to be used in case of these circumstances. Big corperate companies love to give the disabled and such likes jobs. Im being sarcastic by the way;)

By the way BLF I do actually work on a volunteer basis doing a job that people wouldnt get paid for doing. :p

OMG BLF!!!!!! Thank you so very much - the light has come on in my head and I now recognise the errors of my ways!!

 

Of course its all my fault for being in debt and nothing whatsoever to do with my disability curtailing my business and income.

 

Its most definately nothing to do with the mis-sold PPI on my loans that means they wont pay out for my medical conditions.

 

It cant be anything to do with the banks & their charges for making me even more impoverished.

 

It's all our own faults for wanting the 50" teles and the 4 x 4 cars etc etc etc so come on caggers, say thank you to BLF - all together now.....

Have I missed anything while I've been asleep??

 

Tell you what guys - I had an awful dream where I agreed with someone that the illegal charges by a bailiff are all our own faults for being so greedy :eek::eek::eek::eek:

 

Tell ya, it was a relief to wake up and realise that I am still in the real world and that the charges etc are still unlawful and it isn't always our fault after all..............

i am sympathetic to your situation.... but, sounds to me that its not the bailiffs causing your problem is it?

 

its government legislation that put you in the situation, try changing that.

 

The bailiff is only doing his job. the money needs collecting, it always will be.

 

There are legal ways around your situations ( 10p too much to qualify etc ) but its not for me to advise.

Its your own fault for being in debt and disabled, being in debt I can understand but there is no excuse for being disabled you should have thought about your lifestyle before becoming disabled, sorry sweetie I shouldnt mock being disabled myself, but the HCE's and the BLF's of this country dont seemed to realise that unless we are born disabled no one knows what the future will hold for any one of us. You could have the perfect life one minute and the next your struck down with some illness that prevents you from living a normal life. Its not a sob story is it its reality, but even the abled can be debt ridden through not fault of their own but when will people start to realise this and I mean the people in the debt industry, Its been said its not a crime to be in debt other wise the prisons will be over flowing with debtors. I wouldnt want any one having what I have not even a bailiff, but I often think how owuld they feel if the shoe was on the other foot, let them walk in my shoes or the shoes of the vulnerable and see how they would cope.

What do you recommend for someone who has been lied to & cheated out and sometimes threatened??

 

What about those who have a bailiff claim that they can break in to get belongings to sell and all without a levy on goods?

 

The list goes on and on and on & unfortunately, I have yet to come across a bailiff who is prepared to actually state what is legally allowed for, on here or any other forum.

 

Maybe, if bailiffs did this they would be given respect for their knowledge instead of which they post crap and then complain when caggers pull them up on the info the bailiffs say to be true.

you are absolutely right it does need collecting, but not in a way where people are made to suffer, in any way shape or form. Bailiffs are not exempt from following the letter of the law, we all have to abide by the rules including bailiffs

MKB, Let me tell you HCE's make it up on the day. Therefore how could they possibly tell you what they are going to charge till they see how big you are/where you live, what youve got etc etc, how much it means to you if they threaten to remove goods.

 

As I mentioned earlier, the legal wheels are going to turn quicker now, I've had enough, and a particular HCE has it coming like an express train with no brakes.

I have made it an ambition of mine to see him with a little legal issue that will cost him dear. He doesnt really realise that I have plenty of means to throw a nice big legal case, and even if i lost, financially it wouldnt matter too much - Im gonna try something in the legal world rather extreme, and iam very curious as to the outcome. 8-)

Let me dissect for you, BLF, some of the statements you've made within this thread alone :-

 

 

“and are you really to daft to know why?” - And are you TOO daft to spell a three-letter word correctly?

 

”There are legal ways around your situations ( 10p too much to qualify etc ) but its not for me to advise.” - If it’s not for you to advise BLF, then what are you doing on an advice forum?

 

“There is no excuse for not paying your CT” - Disability, unforeseen change in circumstances, and abject poverty are merely three of many more.

 

“Mostly its due to GREED is why these situations arise and i have no sympathy for you.” - An offensive statement. Are you Richard Littlejohn, by any chance? I have no sympathy for an industry that is at best thoroughly corrupt, rotten and needs cleaning right through. If bailiffs are finding it increasingly difficult, then great!

 

“This money needs collecting OR the rest of us will end up paying on your behalf via a vast increase in the amount WE pay, and regardless what you think of bailiffs, that makes YOU in the wrong.” - No it doesn’t. We’re already all taxpayers. What do you think VAT is?

 

“The bailiff is only doing his job.” - Ah, the old Nuremberg Defence again! Jawohl!

 

Is there actually any point in you being on this forum, BLF? Looking through your previous threads, all you seem to do is contradict others, be called out to explain what you've stated, and then disappear. Is it going to be the same with this thread as well?

Just throwing this is for info for anyone that doesn't know

 

Up here in Ecosse we don't have bailiffs we have sheriff officers.

 

Get behind in your council tax you get a reminder, you don't pay that you get a final demand. If you don't pay that then the council apply for a summary judgement (similar to a LO). This is automatic and you cannot go to court to defend this and then the COUNCIL apply a 10% charge to that balance and your account is referred to a Sheriff Officer.

 

SO seem to be alot easier to deal with, the seem to accept very reasonable payment arrangements most of the time. They DO NOT want your stuff they prefer to have the money. They can not apply any more charges as the 10% the council add is to cover their fees.

 

If you still do not pay it, the SO will apply for a charge for payment. This gives you 14 days to send a time to pay order to the court where you can send in and i and e. If you do not then after 21 days from the charge for payment they SO will apply for a wages arrestment and or bank arrestment.

 

I have not heard of any forced entries now for over 5 years as they tend to go for arrestments or agree to payment arrangement.

 

I even know people on benefits who have webt throught this and have agreed for a SO to send a rep to receive payments at the door for as little as £3 per week.

 

Obviously the one draw back is the fees can be well over the frist and second fees for a baliff visit BUT the treatment of debtors seem to be far more respectful and a lot easier to deal with and not as scary.

Whether its more expensive than England or not, it's a consistent and transparent system in which everyone knows where they stand. No room for Rambo-esque wannabes strutting about in their body armour.

 

I console myself with the fact that if they reinstated the Roman Wall, I'd be living in Scotland :D
