    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • 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 ee-bee, we're now well into double figures! Once we hit treble figures we can start looking at organising things - hopefully in the middle of their pesky election :)

Hey

 

OK, Atos have been rude and abrupt with me twice on on the phone and actually bullied me out of continuing with my ESA claim!

 

Eventually I got so annoyed about it I went back, got on ESA, forced my GP to get me into a specialist and hey presto no ATOS to be seen! I am waiting for an appointment with them but I felt it important to get to the specialist first given my previous experience with them, at least they cannot undermine a professional opinion surely?

Hiya One and All

Hi All

I Cannot agree more that we should all join forces and cause as much of a stir as possible. With all due respect i doubt very much that asking your local candidates their view and intentions will have any affect at all.

We disabled are an easy target and should not accept this anymore.

This may sound extreme but i feel we need to take this to London (those of us that are able to do so) and gain as much media attention as possible.

It is only a matter of time that we are going to lose out financially and when this happens it will be impossible to reverse.

We need to stop this from happening.

What are your views?

How would we go about it?

I tried something similar on another site and it mysteriously got shut down,dont mention dr,s names as you could maybe get the site into trouble.I agree we all need to do something about atos.

 

Everyone who loses their benefits should go to appeal as it may cause havoc with the appeals process, everyone should get their mp involved as they wont like to work for a change , everyone should write to yvette cooper as i am sure she thinks people wont, everyone should complain to atos and go through their complaints procedure to make their job harder, everyone that can should take their complaints to the general medical council to try and get them involved,everyone that can should contact the parlimentary ombudsman as they can look into the dwp and atos.

 

We may not be able to march on 10 downing street but we all maybe individualy be able to disrupt the system and the people that work for atos.I have and i will not take no for an answer from atos, the dwp, my mp, yvette cooper or anyone else i think is cullpable for this totaly unfair biased system that our government have put in place.Please keep fighting and dont let them push you aside.

I contacted both my Mp and MSP and the appeal came round a way lot quicker thatn expected, and my MP contacted Yvette Cooper who has passed the buck to Terry Moran who is CEO of DWP!!

 

We have out son's appeal on Tuesday.:eek:

 

We should keep up the pressure and the more people who know about the ATOS mickey mouse doctors the better.

 

Even if when I talk to people at the jobcentre they are appalled that a mojority of people who are clearly ill and shouldnt be working are failing the medical exams.

Thanks really really suprised that this topic on here and on FB as not generated a huge response I was ashamed to read the piece on amputees being defined as fit for work if they can pick things up with both stumps if this government was as tough on crime and immigration and the bankers then this country wouldn`t be in the mess it is:)

Hi

Is There a website or forum where you can post the name of the Atos HCP that carried out your WCA and was found to have complaints against him upheld by the Atos 1st tier tribunal as in my case .

( the tribunal even said this "doctor" has a higher complaint rate than is to be expected and will be reviewed by the MM )

He came to uk from Poland and never worked for anyone but ATOS and didnt have 3 yrs post registration with GMC.

I'm still in process of finding what registered body in poland he had 3 yrs post reg with !

was to have my ESA appeal last fri but on the morning they rang me and told me they looked at my evidence and they had allowed my appeal !

Still not gonna let them get off that easily ,this Doc hasnt heard the last of me until he is sanctioned for what he did/is doing.

Sorry to sound paranoid but had a year of this and you tend to go one way or the other ....give up through the sheer stress of it all ..or fight like hell and give them all you got(if your able to )

Cheers

Well done for setting up the group. I know my case isn't as severe as most and I do want to work but I thought my case exemplified the failings of Atos so HAD to speak to the media. They have no justifications as to the contradictory findings but I am sure they will somehow wangle their way out of taking responsibility.

 

I would advise people to contact their MP (although now parliament has dissolved i'm not sure how that works???) as mine as been really supportive (although unfortunately has achieved little in regards to holding atos to account).

 

Just keep fighting for what you rightly deserve.

Every case is SEVERE as ATOS failings are ruining lives. They are blantanly ignoring the medical evidence from your own doctors and specialists.

I don't think the 3 main parties will give a hoot anyway because ATOS are doing there job,less people on IB/ESA and More on JSA or working.

Have a read of this it makes for shocking read http://research.dwp.gov.uk/asd/workingage/esa_wca/esa_wca_19012010.pdf and this just one quarter/3 month period last year.

 

9 per cent have been assessed as Support Group

23 per cent have been assessed as Work Related Activity

68 per cent have been deemed Fit for Work

 

What's is going to happen and is happening More people will be forced off IB/ESA to JSA and work and more people getting into debt.

 

I'm sorry,but we all need to get a reality check :evil:
