    • 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.

hi all,

 

I have listed on my own spreadsheet the charges since Jan 2001, on my spreadsheet there are :

O/Draft Interest charges

O/Draft Excess Fee Charges

Unpaid D/D Charges

Unpaid Chq Charges

 

In all it comes to £3000. Now Im very confused about the Interest part, should I be including this, i am just adding them to the spreadsheet as they appear on my statements, im not calculating the interest.

When I say interest I mean O/Draft Interest Charges that appear on my statements. I have added them to make my final figure.

 

Any ideas?

Franco;)

Hi Franco99,

 

No, you can't just include the total O/D interest. You can only claim the interest that has been applied on top of, and as a direct result of, each unlawful charge. This is quite complicated and personally I don't bother as it does'nt usually add all that much value to the claim anyway. There is a spreadsheet in the templates library to help you though, if you decide to go for it.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Also, please make sure you have a really good read of the FAQ's and Step by Step instructions in the templates library, as well as some of the other Lloyds threads. Reloads thread is a good read, you'll find it in his sig. The more information you take in the better, and the less mistakes you'll make. Knowledge is power!

Thanks Gary

 

Im not sure if we are talking about the same Interest ( thanks for the quick response though ). On all of my statements since Jan 2001 I have O/Draft Interest amounts, usually taken out on the same day as the other charges, that total £339.54 surely thats worth asking for?

 

Cheers

I think you are right, Recorded Delivery is best, that way there are no excuses. I bet they must have someone for that job alone in their office, the amount of people sending in these requests.

 

Thanks for your help at this early stage.

Hi Franco,

 

As Gary mentioned, you cannot simply claim back all of the overdraft interest you have been charged.

 

The O/D interest applied to your account you can claim back is proportional to the penalty charges.

 

For example, say you have a £100 o/d limit up to the hilt. £70 of that is legitimate usage, £30 is a penalty charge. You get charged £10 in interest - you can therefore claim £3 back from the £10 interest.

 

That's an oversimplified example, and again as Gary mentions it can get quite complicated. There is a spreadsheet in the Bank Templates Library to help you calculate this, but like Gary I rarely bother as it is a lot of time and effort for what is often not much reward.

Ok,

 

What is the harm in asking for this though, will this make me look like i dont know what im doing?

 

So it would look better for me to take this off completely? ( its £339.54 !! its alot of money )

Yes, it will make you look as though you don't know what you are doing. As much as we may dislike it, the overdraft interest on valid overdraft usage is legal - and attempting to claim for it could possibly get your claim thrown out of court on that basis.

Hi!

 

I've just signed up after seeing Martin's weekly post.

I've also had enough of Lloyds taking my money. I'm about to send the DPA statement request letter but not sure who to send it to. Is it my branch or Lloyds' HQ?

Just call up Lloyds and ask to have your statements sent to your home address, they done this for me no problem at all. You will go through to an Indian Call centre first then they transfer you to England. They will charge you £10 for the lot.

 

Tel: 08453 000000

Not a good idea. If you had success doing it that way then all well and good, but if your statements did'nt turn up (which happens quite often), it'd be impossible to enforce compliance. You'd need a copy of the origional SAR and a record of delivery. Please do everything by the book - it could save you (and us!) a hell of a lot of time and headaches later on.

hi people,

 

As you know i sent my letter last week on the 14/09/06, i have had a reply today the 22/09/06. It is as you would expect, a letter saying lecturing me about going over the limit and that they dont agree with the OFT's thinking and that they are talking it through with them. Finally that they dont agree with me and that they cannot agree to cancel my charges, and if im dissatisfied i need to contact the Financial Ombudsman.

 

So what is my next step? do i send the LBA letter today?

Take no notice of their reply. Wait the 14 days then send the LBA.

cheers,

 

it wasnt exactly a frightening letter exactly what i was expecting. So with my LBA letter do i send the spreadsheet again? I dont understand the O/D interest, can i just leave this out and send the same spreadsheet?

 

Franco

Yes, send the spreadsheet again, and yes, there is no need to claim overdraft interest if you don't want to. I don't bother either, it does'nt usually amount to much and its alot of work trying to calculate it.
