    • I lived there with her up until I gave notice. She took over the tenancy in her name. I had a letter from the council and a refund of the council tax for 1 month.    She took on the bills and tenancy and only paid the rent. No utility bills or council tax were paid once she took it over. She will continue to not pay bills in her new house which I'm now having to pay or will have to. I have looked online I believe the police and solicitors are going by the partner law to make me liable.   I have always paid my bills and ensured her half was paid then see how much free money is over.   She spends all her money on payday loans and rubbish then panics about the rent. I usually end up paying it or having to get her a loan.   Stupidly in my name but at the time it was because she was my partner. I even paid to move her and clean and decorate her old house so she got the deposit back. It cost me £3000 due to the mess she always leaves behind.

    • Just use the print option 'print to pdf' which will save a copy of email as pdf document on your device. If you lived at address as partner when the liability was not settled, then it would be Council Tax legislation they would use. This is designed to stop tenants or owners of a property resident in a property not to pay tax due, when the normal bill payee does not pay the liability due. If you want to know the exact legislation wording, suggest you search for it online, as the legislation is available to view online. If you did not live at address as partner at the time, there is no law they could use.

    • Hi all,   Thank you for your advice. Following the recent developments surrounding the appeal route via Starbucks/Euro Garages, I have not pursued this route. Following my original post I have since received a "PARKING CHARGE FINAL REMINDER" but will just proceed to ignore this as is my right to do so. It is helpful to upload this for others to see? As the registered keeper, I am happy that I am not liable for the parking charge as the notice has not been served in accordance with Schedule 4 of POFA: specifically paragraph 9(2)(f) (warning to registered keeper that creditor has the right to recover from the keeper) and paragraph 9(4) (serving notice within 14 days of alleged contravention). I look forward to seeing MET Parking Services in court

    • 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 all

 

I received a bill from Eon from a house my daughter and I were staying in, paid by my house insurance company, when i had a flood in my own property. I am currently off work ill with cancer.

 

I contacted them and explained that my insurance firm were paying and heard nothing back then got a threatening letter from LCS. The letter stated that i would be paying £200 admin charge on top of the bill and that i should pay in full within seven days. My income, at this point was £137 per week as i had gone beyond the years pay from my employer.

 

I rang them and said that i felt threatened so would pay all i could. They said it would be a minimum of £100 per month. I had to move out of my home and rent it out to be able to afford this and am now living with my father. I have paid the Eon bill in full now and LCS are still threatening me for their £200. What should I do? Please help. I am ill with cancer and dont need the extra worry

Don't take any nonsense from LCS AND NEVER TALK TO THEM ON THE PHONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE Write to them requesting a full breakdown of account. Have a financial statement compiled by one of the charity advice agencies and pay them only what is affordable. If they have added charges come back with another post and the issue can be dealt with separately.

I have paid it in full now - the whole Eon bill and they still are insisting I pay the £200 they say i have to pay to them for Admin charges. I have explained that I am unwell and this is making me more ill as my blood pressure is now at dangerous levels too! How do I get them to stop???

Counter this by requesting a breakdown of the charges claimed. REMEMBER WRITING ONLY.

 

In the meantime PAY THEM NOTHING. If they call you on the phone, let them listen to Jeremy Kyle or something equally boring for half an hour.

They dont have my phone number. They sent me a bill saying I owed £300; I paid £100 and now all that is owing is the £200 "admin charge". They are now saying that I paid the admin charge at the start so still owe Eon £200!!!

Just to update you all. I rang Eon on Friday and they were horrified at how I have been treated. They have contacted LCS and told them to stop contacting me! Phew!! Thanks all for your help.

Hi themummy

 

Really sorry for the late reply. Been out of the office for quite a while recently. Only back on this forum on Friday.

 

I'm also sorry you've had such a hard time about the balance on your account. It seems this is now being sorted but give me a shout if you need me to look at anything as will be happy to help.

BT and LCS - sorry don't know how to start a new thread...

 

I had agreed a Direct Debit amount with BT for my broadband/calls and have email proof of this. However they changed the amount without informing me first. I complained and eventually had a very rude manager on the phone to me the day before I was going on holiday last year. I explained that I couldn't do anything as I was about to go on holiday so she said that she would terminate my contract, which, when I came back, she had done. I reported BT to the Ombudsman and they backed BT however I am still unhappy with the charges etc. LCS are now involved and have now sent me a letter stating I am on 72 Hour Notice. I WAS trying to resolve this myself and do want to take BT to court for Misrepresentation among other things but am now tempted just to include this in my IVA. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks
