    • 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 complained about my supervisor and the manager has done nothing about it until i went to h.r for advise

 

which resulted in my manger getting an arse kicking,

 

because of the stress at work i went on the sick

 

returned to work about a month ago,

 

then last week i was called into a meeting to tell me i was being suspended pending allegations of claims i was making for overtime payments,

 

i have a meeting next week which will probably end with dismissal,

 

on top of all this i was being made redundant in jan 2013 anyway,

 

it's all a big mess my head battered really worried and scared

Hi Amanda,

 

Sounds like this could potentially be victimisation due to you submitting a complaint and could also be the company attempting to get rid of you now rather than in January to avoid having to pay you redundancy.

 

Can you tell us a bit more about the allegations against your overtime claims?

It is unusual for a company to push you to formalise a grievance. Why didn't you?

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

They are going off tunnel pass times saying i didn't work the hours i claimed for. but in my job i couldn't do the amount in the times they're saying i was there, e.g i claimed 5hrs for 50 items and they're saying i was only at work 1.5 hours, this isn't possible,

The company were pushing me because i put the complaint into my manager in july and nothing got done until october, te manager ended up in trouble, all i wanted was for the manager to talk to the supervisor. i didn't want him sacked or anything but the way he speaks and treats people had to be stopped,

Amanda,

 

Can you prove you were at work during the overtime hours you have claimed for?

 

One way of proving could be emails you sent during your overtime or files you were working on and saved.

Don't do emailing but there are work logs, i have said this to them and they said yo don't get paid for piece work, my point was i do 80 systems in a 8 hr shift so for 5hrs it's 50 there is no way i could reduce the time to 1.5hrs and get same work done, if this was possible in overtime you could do it mon to fri

Amanda,

 

In my opinion this sounds a lot like victimisation because you submitted a grievance and they are trying to get rid of you now and avoid having to pay you redundancy in January.

 

Do you have a union at your work? If so I suggest you get in touch with them about representation at the investigation meeting next week.

 

If you don't have a union, I suggest you start thinking about a work colleague to attend the meeting with you. This is a statutory right and the company cannot refuse your having a support person.

I have got a union rep but he knows absolutely nothing about the company, it gets worse....

 

When i went on the sick in june with stress due to the supervisor my partner got a phone call from the supervisor saying they were keeping him out of a particular hospital because there was a complaint against him saying he wasn't very helpful, he kept asking when it was going to be dealt with to date this still hasn't been dealt with. if there's an official complaint the company have 3 days to deal with it, then he was suspended same time as me, i strongly believe the manager wants me out because i had an informal grievance with the supervisor and they're taking it out on my partner, he has't worked for the company as long as me only 4 yrs but this shouldn't matter, he's never had a warning etc, always starts work earlier than he should, hardly ever takes his lunch, infact at one point the manager asked him if he would be supervisor as he wanted the supervisor i'm having the trouble with out, all a big mess that's probably going to cost us bot our jobs, home, everything.

Amanda,

 

Are you saying the same supervisor you complained about called your partner back in June and told him there had been a complaint against him. Nothing was done about this and your partner continued working there until you returned to work from a period of sick leave in October when you were suspended for the overtime allegation and at the same time your partner was suspended for the complaint made back in June?

 

Leaves the obvious question why did they wait for 4 months to suspend your partner over an alleged complaint made back in June?

This is probably not going to cost you your jobs, home etc, it may end your employment 3 months earlier than you had thought, but presumabley you were going to look for a new job then, so bring that plan forward.

 

It is a little confusing to follow with the evvents out of order and opinions sprinkled in with the facts. Could you perhaps do us a simple timeline?

 

eg Jan 2008 - start with with employer

July 2008 confirm passed probatation

July 2012 recieve "excellent" on apprialsal

August - x happens, witnessed by y. Submit greivance stating I would like x to change to...

there would have been a change of supervisor. or the old supervisor started doing things differently. or you had an argument about something. What hapoened before you went sick that triggered the stress? If you are claiming victimisation the detail here may be important.

no change in supervisor, the same supervisor didn't change his ways until after i went on the sick and after i contacted h.r. when i returned to work he was told to have minimal contact with me until the issues had been dealt with, we had mediation and he agreed with everything i said but the damage was done because the manager should of dealt with it so i didn't have to get h.r involved, in my opinion the manger made it worse by ignoring what was going on. The manager only comes to our depot maybe once a week sometimes doesn't come for weeks on end,

so 2011 to June 2012 you had the same supervisor, nothing changed in their behaviour, and suddenly you were off with stress?

 

That does not make sense. What actually caused the stress? What behaviour?
