      Advice needed regarding Eviction

      By WiltshireGuy81 · Posted

      Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.

      General question about CCJ's if not enforced or extended after 6 years

      By dx100uk · Posted

      extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.

      You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.

      General question about CCJ's if not enforced or extended after 6 years

      By Andy111 · Posted

      Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

"Eaxctly" is going to be a tricky one to name them all... Let's try all the people in Africa dying of AIDS because he forbids the use of condoms. For starters. He may no be wielding the knife himself, but as head of state, the bucks stops with him.

 

I think that's a wee bit tenuous to say the least. You could use the same argument here over people refused life-saving drugs. The buck stops with the Prime Minster over the use of public money. Does that make every British Prime Minister a murderer?

 

I know it's not quite as simple as this, but this is a religion we're talking about and people can choose to follow it or not.

 

Fred

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Well, lets turn this on it's head a little... Why wont Pope Benedict XVI talk to the autorities over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church?

Oh, and just in case anyone missed this fact; the invitation was extended by Gordon Brown.
I personally don't care who invited him, I just think he needs to face justice.

It is not tenuous at ALL!!! :shock:

 

Exactly, it IS a religion we're talking about, and unlike a prime minister whose edicts are NOT laws, what the Pope says IS the word of God for practising catholics. If he says "no condoms", then it means that a good catholic doesn't use them. Simple as.

 

Far from tenuous, it is the largest cause of AIDS failing to be contained and it lies exclusively at the feet of the catholic church and therefore the Pope.

:

It is now generally accepted that HIV is a descendant of a Simian Immunodeficiency Virus because certain strains of SIVs bear a very close resemblance to HIV-1 and HIV-2, the two types of HIV.

 

HIV-2 for example corresponds to SIVsm, a strain of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus found in the sooty mangabey (also known as the White-collared monkey), which is indigenous to western Africa.

 

The more virulent, pandemic strain of HIV, namely HIV-1, was until recently more difficult to place. Until 1999, the closest counterpart that had been identified was SIVcpz, the SIV found in chimpanzees. However, this virus still had certain significant differences from HIV.

Not forgetting also that, we live in a multi-cultural society of all faiths and creeds.

Very important to be tolerant of all faiths, whether you believe or, Not!

 

As for labelling the 'Pope' as a murderer, that is preposterous.

Or brainwashed from a very early age.

 

I think all religion sucks.

 

I wouldn't quite agree, but some people can take it too far.

 

A long time ago I worked in a pub on the river in Hammersmith. The Landlord was an Irishman who used to bring lads over from Belfast to work and he housed them too. This was at the height of 'The Troubles'. Every night after we had cleared up, we used to have a couple of pints and a game of pool. One night, one of the Belfast lads asked me what religion I was. I replied that I wasn't really sure (I wasn't either because it was no big thing in my house). He turned to his mate and said "see what I mean?". When I asked him what he was on about he told me that where they came from you could get shot for giving the wrong answer, whereas in England nobody gave a stuff.

 

That little episode still makes me think and I doubt that I'll ever fully understand the significance of religion in some people's lives.

 

That's why I find it so hard to understand why people can't say "sod the Pope, I'm using a condom". Perhaps Bookie is right, much as I hate to say it.

The origin of AIDS and HIV has puzzled scientists ever since the illness first came to light in the early 1980s. For over twenty years it has been the subject of fierce debate and the cause of countless arguments, with everything from a promiscuous flight attendant to a suspect vaccine programme being blamed. So what is the truth? Just where did AIDS come from?

 

The first recognised cases of AIDS occurred in the USA in the early 1980s (more about this period can be found on our History of AIDS page). A number of gay men in New York and California suddenly began to develop rare opportunistic infections and cancers that seemed stubbornly resistant to any treatment. At this time, AIDS did not yet have a name, but it quickly became obvious that all the men were suffering from a common syndrome.

Huh??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

 

Don't be confused. What I'm getting at here is that if the spread of AIDS is caused by sex outside of Marriage, then why are people ignoring one papal edict but adhering to another one?

 

Anyway, I've since, begrudgingly, almost, partially, somewhat, with gritted teeth, very reluctantly, much though it pains me, nearly agreed with you on something.

I think rape of children in South Africa (and other African countries) probably has more to do with the spread of Aids than the Pope banning condoms.

 

And, as AC says, many practising Catholics do use contraception in the UK and their priests know about it.

 

It's well documented that in African countries men do not want to use condoms, and Aids wouldn't be spread about so much if they kept it in their trousers. Please don't say that they are soooo concerned about what the Pope thinks of their not using condoms.

Oh, just another thought:

 

I've never seen one of these UK women who has an enormous number of children, gets an enormous house, demands an even bigger one, and gets so much money in benefits that they can afford four wide-screen televisions, wiis, gameboys, and so on, say that she has all these children because she can't use contraception because she's "a practising Catholic".

LOL, so graciously done... :razz:

 

But, just in case you were still wondering, remember that in quite a few countries, systematic rape of the women is an additional way of subjugating the enemy. Woman gets infected by rapist, passes it on to unborn child(ren), infects non-condom wearing husband, dies. Husband remarries, infects next woman, who infects unborn child(ren) etc, etc... Multiply the problem by thousands and thousands.... :-(

 

And before anyone says the above scenario is ludicrous, I am deeply sorry to say that it is not. I'm sure people have consensual non marital sex all over the world, whatever their religion. But the matter of systematic rape and subsequent endemic AIDS infections is a matter of record.
