    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. 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. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.
    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???

    • 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.

Hello

 

Sorry to bother anyone but I was told about you from a man i know.

 

My mum is elderly and lives with my sister.

 

She bought and paid for her house over 20 years ago.

 

My sister lived with her, my sister wanted to move so my mum used the money from her house to buy her a car and put the rest as deposit on a house,

my mum said its only money she doesnt need it.

 

My sister did not put my mums name on the house.

 

My mum is now needing 24 hour care but my sister says she can only look after her at weekends even though she lives there.

 

This means me and my brothers and other sister have to take it in turns to look after her, we are in our 60s except for one brother.

 

One of my brothers has grandchildren he has to take care of before and after school.

 

My other sister is not too good she is on tablets for her nerves.

 

My sister who lives with my mum is now trying to get more money for attendance allowance.

 

She works from 9 till 5 but leaves the house at 8 and doesnt come back till 9 at night, she said she has things to do.

 

We dont want mum to go into a home as she loves her house, we feel blackmailed.

 

My sister wont go part time or take a break from work, she earns a good salary, which I know is a good thing as jobs are hard to come by.

 

She sometimes goes away at weekends and we are so tired.

 

I have teenage children who can be difficult at times and am worn out.

 

Thank you for any advise.

All I can say is that the sister is one switched on lady!

 

It may be the case that this sale took place to try and avoid having to fund care in the future. However, by doing this the sister has 'cleaned' mum out of all the money. The sister now has her own house on mortgage using the mother's money and that mum is living with her

The council could well undo that 'gift'.

 

To be honest, the sister need do nothing. In my humble opinion the sister has stitched up the rest of the family for her own needs.

 

What can I say? I've seen this happen so many times before.

Have one case, where the mum sold her house and gave it to her daughter. Mum lives in the converted garage as a studio flat. She's not even allowed into the daughter's home.

Daughter has carers coming in and goes to respite regularly. All paid for by SS.

 

Her son isn't very happy about it all, and didn't realise that mum's name isn't on the deeds of the house that she paid for. He's lost out big time.

Then tell me why daughter and husband with no kids need a £750,000 6 bed house for themselves mostly paid for by the mum?

I have seen this before as well, but it was with a daughter in law the same thing happened the mum was always threatened to be sent into care home when she did not do what the DiL wanted. Mind you that was when the mum was of no use to her anymore. This woman gained by using all of her mother in law pension plus other benefits as well. Mother in laws was used to cook their meals as well this as been her been at home when their children got home from school. Both son and wife was working all day long and they kept saying to others in family that they were looking after mother. They ended up getting mother in law home and got away with everything that these greedy people did.:mad2:
