    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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

 

I am new here and seeking some advice!

 

I have recently moved and I have a outstanding Council Tax bill from my previous address.

I had a repayment in place of £95 a month with I have been paying since it was set up June 2011.

I currently changed banks as well and emailed the Council to make them aware of this so that I didnt default on my repayment as I have been unable to get them on the telephone , im always met with the office busy call back later!

 

I today had a hand delivered letter from Rossendales Bailiffs sayin

" NOTCIE OF BAILIFFS ATTENDANCE" MAGISTRATES LIABILITY ORDER/ WARRANT OF EXECUTION DATED 04/01/2011

 

And they are demanding £100 £150 and £100 to set up repayments on the 3 amounts I owe or they will be back to seize goods.

I will not be answering the door to the bailiffs and I know they cannot force entry unless they have been intot he property before hand but Im still alittle it concerned as to why the council has done this?

 

I wanted to ask if there is anyway I can get the Council to take the debt back or if there a generic letter I can send to them?

 

Im getting a bit concerned as I want to get this debt paid and seem to keep being met with obstacles from the Council as they didnt wait around! I only moved 2 weeks ago.

 

If anyone could offer me some advice on this id be very grateful as Im not refusing to pay this off but I am refusing to pay the Bailiffs and there fees.

 

Many Thanks

I've missed one just gone as I changed banks but emailed the council to make them aware of this and also emailed again today about the letters but have had no reply other the the auto response to say they have received emails

You need to get that missed payment in as soon as possible and continue without a break. If they have sent in the bailiffs, you now have fees to pay, even if you don't pay the bailiffs.

If you continue to miss payments, the council will take money directly from your wages if you are working or your benefits if you aren't.

Do as conniff suggests, and keep the bailiff out, you will have to allow for £42.50 for a lawful first and second visit fee as long as you can deny the bailiff entry and a levy, so keep windows and doors locked and park any motors away from your house. There is no law that says you have to deal with a bailiff so write/email the council telling them you have paid monies in.

We could do with some help from you.

You need to speak to someone at the Council and ask the following questions:

1 - how many Liability Orders they have against you

2 - the dates they were obtained

3 - the addresses they were for

4 - the period of time each covers

5 - how much each one was for

6 - how much is still outstanding

7 - the dates they were passed on for enforcement

bailiffs are nothing more than bullies, they are powerless they cannot do anything if you use the right methods, i have also seen the bailiff book and its ok but just the same old thing, dont let them in etc, dont fear them and using a great method you wont lose your car either.

STOP PAYING YOUR LOANS THERE IS NO CONTRACT FOR YOU TO DO SO

Hi

 

Im after some more advice please .

 

I was laying in bed this morning and heard the post come thro when I got down stairs there was a hand delivered letter from Rossendales bailiffs ( they didnt even knock )

They posted a Notice of Distress Walking possession Agreement through the door listing only my sisters car on it?

Obviously cos they havent gained entry to my property.

They must be stalking my house cos my sisters car ha not been here on the visits I know about.

 

Can they just take the car any time they like? or would I have to sign the agreement for them to do this ( which I wont sign )

 

Bit of advice please

 

Many Thanks

 

Tara

They cannot take your sisters car. Send Rossendales an email stating that the bailiff has levied on a car that does not belong to you. I would also ask you sister to email them stating that she has been informed that a bailiff has seized her car for a debt that is not hers, she can send proof along with the email, insurance details and log book should be enough. If they refuse to take the car off the levy then you have grounds to make a formal complaint to the CEO of the council where the LO was issued.

 

Are you still making payments on this debt. If not you really need to asap as Rossendales wont give up easily and the longer this goes on the more they will push it and try and add charges.

I will do that thank you

 

I was making payments but changed bank and wanted to set up new payment and the council are refusing and sent the bailiffs in again I mean it was in a matter of 2 weeks!! so I have emailed them numerous times stating I will start paying the debt to them regardless via there payment section on there website which I will be sending first payment payday. So im hoping this will be enough to get the bailiffs off my back.?

I doubt it. Once it has been handed over to the bailiffs they will still keep coming.

 

You need to speak to or email the manager of the benefits and revenues department and explain the situation and let them know when and how you are paying, you would probably need to pay a little more to catch up on the payments you have missed.

 

You should inform Rossers that you have started repayments to the council and let them know it was an over sight due to moving. You may get lucky and the bailiff will realise it wont be worth their while trying to get money from you as you are paying the council, however you would need to pay for the two visit that the bailiff has made. that would be £42.50. I would either pay the council this or send it straight to rossers.

Do I still have to pay them even though they havent even attempted to speak to me?

On both visits they have just pushed letters through the door without even knocking?
