    • 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.      
    • 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.
    • 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?.

    • 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 - please help.

 

A writ had been issued agains me by HSBC and DG Solicitors

and they now have judgement but i have been unable to defend against the writ for reasons set out below.

 

 

I will try and be as brief as possible.

 

I owed money to HSBC on an OD and I had offered to repay them.

But I fell ill in November 2010 when i had a break down.

 

 

My daughter wrote to HSBC on my behalf explaining the situation

and sending a £100 towards the debt and for it to be reviewed in 4 months time.

 

 

In February 2011 she again wrote to HSBC asking for account details to enable us to set up payments by Direct Bebit.

Neither my daughter nor I have a cheque account.

 

 

We received no reply but heard from DG Solicitors asking for immediate settlement.

My daughter wrote back to the solicitors explaining that we offered to make repayments

and only account details were needed so payments can be sent by bank transfer.

 

 

We explained that we cannot issue cheques with my bank account.

We did not hear anything from DG Solicitors for over a week,

then they notified us that they were issuing a writ of claim.

 

 

Again, my drughter wrote back and explained that we are willing to make the payments -

we only needed details of an account so we could make the payment.

 

 

DG Solicitors then wrote to us stating that a writ has been issued against me.

We asked for details of the writ and a copy

- which we did not receive.

No writ arrived at my address.

 

 

As they said the writ had been issued,

we specifically looked out for it.

 

 

We also wrote to Norhampton County Court Bulk Centre asking if a writ has been issued,

but they replied to say that they cannot help us unless we give them a claim reference number.

 

 

Then last week we received a letter from DG Solicitors that they will seek judgement in default

as we did not respond to the writ.

 

 

To date we never received the writ. DG Solicitors will not give us details of the writ nor send us a copy.

 

 

i understand that they now have judgement.

This means that they will try and get a charge order set on my house,

but i have no details of the writ nor was i able to defend it.

 

 

Can some one please tell me what i can do.

 

Many thanks. BF

I really hope you have copies of the letters and proof's of sending for these letters as they have treated you appallingly, especially in the state you were. The OFT have guidelines on how vulnerable people should be treated by debt collectors and this company have used every underhand trick they could to seek a judgement against you.

 

If there really has been a judgement against you then it'll either show on your credit file or on the trust registers website, you can search this website for the judgement and from that get the claim number, then its a case of seeking a copy of the claim from most likely Northampton bulk centre.

 

Its then a case of deciding whether you wish to request a set aside of the verdict via an N244 application.

 

I would also complain to HSBC directly as DG are their in house "solicitors" / the OFT / the SRA re: DG's conduct in this and I would provide them with all the evidence at the same time.

Hi Shadow - many thanks. I have copies of all communications. I have my daughter to thank for that as she insisted on only writing to these poeple so we have a record and a thread. I hv been speaking to some friends who advised that I can apply to have the judgement set aside but one person actually said that as they behaved so badly and more specifically, as i never received the writ, and as there seemed to have been an agreement with HSBC for the repayment, I should apply to have the judgement struck out. I dont know if thats possible. Can you comment on that?

 

I'll try and find the Trust Registers Website and write to the OFT. Whats SRA ? is that a Solicitors regsiter? i'll try and find that out. Many thanks. BF

You can basically ask the court to do anything... whether the judge will agree will rely on you to convince him/her. A set aside puts you back to the start of the court procedure and you'll be re-issued with the claim and then need to defend or admit and come to an arrangement.

 

Trust Register is here http://www.trustonline.org.uk/

SRA is solicitors regulatory authority but there old complaints link takes me here: http://www.legalombudsman.org.uk/

The law society, complain here: http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/choosingandusing/redressscheme/contactus.law

Disgusting behaviour by DG, but why did the postie not deliver the court papers to you. Did DG have a different address for you?

 

Time is of the essence with a set aside application - you need to get it in sharpish! But if DG can show they wrote to the last known address they had for you, you'll have your work cut out I'm afraid.

 

Regards

Hi.

Thank you Shadow and Lantana.

 

Good question - my address had not changed, but i never received the writ. I looked out for it and asked my postman - who told me to speak to the sorting office, who told me to contact the Royal Mail as there was nothing they could do. i hv kept a record of my actions and i can substantiate my efforts in court.

I agree that my work is cut out - but I wrote and asked the Claiments solicitors (DG Solicitors) for a copy of the claim or a reference number.

 

They chose not to tell me. its highlighted by the fact that they referred to a letter from my daughter's letter which clearly reqeusts the information and claim ref. number.

 

I realize that time is of essence - i only just learnt of the Claim Reference - so i will prepare my applicaiton tmrw and submit it by Recorded delivery.

 

 

All the best/BF

No there is no draft order, you just need to state you are asking for the court to set aside the verdict of xx/xx/xxxx, claim number: xxxxxxx and state clearly the reasons why... if you need to expand any points put them on a separate piece of paper and attach plus refer to it in the boxes.

 

If you have any supporting evidence then attach that also.

Hi

 

Can you help please. I have been trying to complete N244 form to apply for the judgment to be set aside .

I am now ready to submit the application and can send it tomorrow, but do i need to complete parts 6 to 9?

 

Many thanks BF

 

What have you ticked for number 5, with a hearing or without... if its without then you dont need to fill in 6, 8 needs to be district judge, 9 is the original claimant (full name + address)

thank you so much for yr help. All the best/BF
