    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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 kia,

 

if i was in your situation, i would seek legal advice from a solicitor immediately, you can usually get the first half hour or maybe longer free,

and if the amount is large, and they do take legal action, you will need a solicitor to defend you, sounds as though it could involve a large sum by your thread, hope this helps totiesquoties.

MY ADVICE IS BASED ON COMMON SENSE AND KNOWLEDGE FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I AM NOT LEGALLY TRAINED, AND ALWAYS CHECK LEGAL ISSUES EITHER WITH A LEGAL PERSON, OR

THE APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. :rolleyes:

IF I HAVE HELPED, PLEASE PRESS MY STAR, THANK YOU.:lol:

I had the same thing with my Mum Kia. We had power of attourney for her, but had to sign with social services as well accepting responsibility for her bills. They were paid when her bungalow was sold.

 

There's no getting away from it I'm afraid.

I've moved this to legal issues as there's a threat of court, and changed the thread title to be clearer what this is about.

 

Your Dad will have been assessed before he went into the home. He would only have been allowed to keep £22 or so for his personal needs and the rest should have gone on his care. I assume you were involved in this. This explains more.

I'd write, say letter has only just arrived (well it has to you), apologise for your ignorance and that you didn't realise that you had to pay. say that you are on benefits and can you come to an arrangement to pay.

Is there nothing from his estate that can pay it? If he didn't have savings of over £22,000 or a property did anything have to be paid?

no he had nothing no savings etc his funeral needed paying for which was just about met from his personal pension funds was short by few hundred but i just about managed it my dad never planned for the future and when he was alive he lived for the day bless him but it did leave a bit of a mess when he went and i am panicking somewhat now i really thought this had gone away and forgot all about it last year was a bad year for me.

 

I did at some point last year set up a payment plan but it never got paid and now am worrying a bit that they will say no but ill try cos i do have medical records that back up i had a sort of breakdown think i just gave up cos i lost me dad me dog and my relationship all in same year and this bill was least of my worries then xxxkia

I'm only jusst starting to look at this minefield ..... I don't know if I'm asking the right questions, but just trying some suggestions!

What type of nursing home was it? have you checked with social services, DWP etc. I have read that you are only liable if you have savings/assets over £22,000, but I'm not sure if that is limited to certain types of home etc.

kia when your dad went into the nursing home you would have signed a contract have a read through it and his nursing care would have been assessed to what level of care he needed as well as a financial assessment ....if the home cost more than

social services paid then thats where the top up comes in..say the weekly fee was £700 but social services only paid 650.00 you

would be need to pay the difference..should also say on your invoices.

As cymruambyth write to them you haven't got to go into detail:wink:

Kia check all the paper work...they would have included your dads pension and pension credit in the finance assessment

it should say on the invoice what the bill is for and dates from and to. When you write to them ask them to explain what the bill is for if you are not sure, but other than it being a final bill (top up) i don't know what it could be:|

All fees would of been paid by Social service if he did not have a property or his savings was below the threshold, Social services would of taken his pension to help pay for the Homes fees- and leave him twenty pounds pocket money- the contact would be between the home and Social services the chances are that social services owe the home the money not you or your father - Challenge this with the Nursing Home

I was just about to write a similar thing when I saw your post.

 

My Mum was in a home for several years before she passed away and this is what we were told. If there were no assets and savings below the above threshold, then your father/you owe nothing.
