    • 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.

I get the feeling at the minute they think if they keep ignoring us we will go away, and maybe that is how they get away with treating some ppl like this, I know lots of ppl have probably sadly given in, and if i'm honest when i said i would put a stop to this to my daughter I wasn't a 100% sure what to do, but this site is amazing the advice and support is unbelievable it takes the dread out of the situation so i say onwards and upwards tomorrow they have had a week to reply and have done nothing. So I think its about time they gave out some answers

Be aware that when contacting the Council they will try to fob you off by telling you it is nothing to do with them. Each person that tells you this ask to speak to someone more senior, just remember you can't get more senior than the Council CEO and the buck stops with him. Don't take no for an answer.

Well they definately don't practice their own codes thats for sure, I am sure I will be able to find alot of their codes that have been broken during this and ask if they would like to explain why. I have a funny feeling there might be a charge for their answers though lol

I know, I dont think they read their own codes of conduct, I doubt they even know what it is, but maybe a gentle reminder could be sent their way :lol:

Hi I have just finished another email for R & R and wondered if someone would give it a once over and let me know if its ok please. I have found some good pointers on the councils codes of practice which i will be discussing with them this afternoon, but if you could let me know if this is ok for R & R i would really appreciate it. Also could i ask where is the refund most likely to come from the bailiffs or the council Thanks for all your help x

 

Dear Sir

 

Thankyou for your recent email. I have now had a chance to go through your company policies. however I cannot seem to find a policy with regards to placing a levy on another persons, Not the debtors property. I would appreciate it if you could therefore send me details as to where I can find your regulations/policies on this. I have also noted that receipts should be given when any money is received (All monies received either direct to the bailiff or by other means, will be officially receipted) please take note this has not been the case. I would like to point out at this time that you are not allowed to levy or remove goods that Do Not belong to the debtor in accordance with the council's own code of practice. I am willing to send you a copy of this if you are not familiar with it. I have also attatched a copy of the V5 for the car that the charges have been placed upon as you will see it is not my car and never has been my car. I haven't seen any policy from you that you are legally allowed to place a levy on goods that belong to another person. So therefore it appears the fee's I have been charged are unfounded and would therefore request a refund of all the charges on my account except the 1st and 2nd visit fee's totalling £42.50. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours Faithfully

do not attach a copy of the v5 its none of there business (and they may use the information to knock up a notice of seizure )

Legally they have not levied against this vehicle as there was no notice of seizure left at the time of the levy

Ok i will remove that part of it, I was just hazarding a guess as this was levied upon as they will not release a copy of the levy without payment for it, and as they hadn't been in the property i assumed they had done it on the car. Is the rest of the letter ok with this bit removed?

as the levy was charged on the 10th may (the same day the car was clamped) i would assume the bailiff Will be calming the car as a levy however he did not leave the notice of seizure therefore there is no levy on this car I'm sure he also noted down the reg

 

up until this visit on the 10th (the day of the levy)may how much had he paid off this debt

Hi the levy was supposedly done on the 10th may 2011 the car was clamped on the 8th may 2012 although there was definately no notice of seizure left last year when the levy was meant to have been done otherwise we would have disputed it then. He made a payment of £240 the 1st time the bailiff came out, then paid 5 monthly payments of £120 although from what i can gather he then stopped paying the bailiffs as he assumed he had paid it off as the council tax bill was £481, unfortunately it turns out most of the payments went to bailiff charges not to the council so the debt wasn't cleared and now this happened. There is still £216 owed to the council however he's going to pay that direct to them at the end of the month. The bailiff that clamped the car wrote down the reg number so i know from that they do have the reg number now.

Hi I really need abit of help again with this problem, my son in law paid council tax off directly to the council now the bailiffs have reared there ugly heads again. They are saying he owes the bailiffs company £75 in enforcement fees and if he doesn't pay they will come with a locksmith and enter the property. Thanks to all your help I now know this is a load of but can bailiffs just add and collect on there own fees, any help would be gladly received as they are meant to be coming today

Has he asked which fees they are claiming, it might be they are wrong? Has he had confirmation from the Council his liability to them is satisfied? During their previous visits had they ever gained access to his home or otherwise levied on goods outside?

They have said they are late payment fees from what i can gather as they never paid them but paid the council direct.

They ask him to sign a payment plan and then levied on my daughters car with the help of this site i managed to get the car removed from the levy, but they have never been inside the property to have levied on anything.

That is originally what i thought, but the bailiff she spoke to said that because son in law signed a payment plan now called a contract they are allowed to charge more and recover there fee's apparently it is a late default payment. I'm not sure whether this makes any difference or not. I just think personally they are trying it on.

I asked my son in law to contact council tax and confirm the debt is settled and he has just been told the account is actually in credit and they owe him, but he will have to deal with the bailiffs over there charges.

Did the "contract" start Once upon a time because it is certainly a fairytale.You certainly have to give them points for trying.

I asked my son in law to contact council tax and confirm the debt is settled and he has just been told the account is actually in credit and they owe him, - he will have to ask if he wants the monies back oyherwise they will just leave it as a credit - but he will have to deal with the bailiffs over there charges.
