    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • 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?

    • 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 have a assured tenancy and it on the ground of rent arres I think .

 

'Rent arrears' aren't a ground - look in the particulars of claim under section 4c and see what is written there.

 

Do not pay the pay day loan, use that money to pay your rent.

 

It is unlikely that you will be evicted if you pay the rent plus something towards the arrears - so long as the ground they are claiming possession under is not a mandatory ground, which is why it is important for you to look at the PoC and tell me what it actually says, not what you think it is.

Hi

 

Useful CAB overall guide and info on rent arrears / possession below that might help

 

http://mymoney.nedcab.org.uk/moneyadvice/rentarrears.asp

 

Are you with a Social Landlord?

 

Are you entitled to any benefits - eg Housing Benefit?

It says the defendant is in breach of his contractual obligation to pay the rent as provided for under the terms of the tenancy agreement. Notice of seeking possession served on grounds 10 & 11

Okay, those are discretionary grounds, so you are not really in danger of losing your home, particularly if you use that 400 quid to reduce the arrears.

 

I would suggest you do an income and expenditure sheet (there is a sticky thread at the top of this repossessions forum created by Ell-enn, and the I&E form is attached to that). Once you've worked out what you can reasonably afford to pay towards the arrears, post back here, stating that amount.

 

For your pay day loans issues I would suggest you post in the relevant forum (I can see that you have already done this). A pay day loan is not a priority debt, but your rent is a priority payment and so are arrears. The worst the payday loan can do is take you to court and obtain a CCJ - but they can't get blood out of a stone. The worst your LL can do is take your home away from you, so where that 400 quid should go is really a complete and utter no-brainer.

Tomorrow is Saturday, so you may need to wait until Monday. If you have a social LL it is usually because you failed to contact them about the arrears that they decide to go to court. Hopefully you can arrange to make a payment plan with them and they will withdraw the possession proceedings.

 

If they don't withdraw, and say they will accept your proposal but only with a suspended possession order, make sure that you attend the hearing and inform the judge the judge that you came to an arrangement prior to the hearing and request that he/she adjourns the hearing on terms. With a low level of arrears this is a fair outcome, though the LL is likely to push for a suspended possession order. The benefit of an adjournment is that if you make payments as per the agreement, nothing further will happen, and no court costs will be added to your arrears (they'll be reserved for future hearings if your LL has to return to court with you).

 

I hope you get the pay day loan stuff sorted out, but it's really not a priority so don't let them bully you into making bigger payments to them than you can afford. Rent and council tax first (priority payments), followed by rent arrears, utilities, groceries and then any debts.

 

Let us know how you get on once you've spoken to your LL.

That's at least good news. Just make sure you stick to any agreement made.

 

With regards to the other debts, you can reduce the amount that you are paying to them, so that you can increase the amount that you pay towards the arrears - the sooner the arrears of rent are cleared, the sooner you can relax about the roof over your head.

 

Contact the debt holders, explain the situation re your housing, and tell them that until that debt is cleared, you are reducing their payments. They won't argue - there's no point. Pay them something though, even if it's a fiver a month.
