      Highview/DCB(L) ANPR PCN - Letter of Claim - Now Claimform - overstay - Riverside Retail Park in Norwich, Norfolk.

      By anotheruser0000 · Posted

      Hi LFI, With regard to the ANPR cameras in your post #65, while I was on the phone to the Planning Department, they did take a look at Google Streetview and went back to 2012 where they could see the ANPR cameras in place so therefore they would have deemed consent. I had previously read the T&C Planning Regulations and had read the section on deemed consent so I understood the point they made on the phone. It doesn't matter though, that doesn't harm my case any, and I shouldn't really mention this now, (this is what you reminded me of on another thread) but in the past I was a member of a scheme that gave me access to legal advice, I have spoken to a barrister previously through this scheme on another matter and I think I am still a member. I am going to check if I am still a member of the scheme, and if I am I will discuss my case with a barrister or solicitor, whichever the scheme deems appropriate. I will let you know the outcome. I am also going to take Bankfodders advice in the sticky and go to the local court and ask if I can sit in on a case in the Judges office.

      deed?  you mean consent order you and her signed? concluding the case as long as you nor she break it's conditions signed upto? dx Yes sorry. they called it a deed at first in court.  Then Judge said she was happy to have it sealed as something else  exact names of orders in message above.     The disease was tested for when his cardiac testing was done immediately after purchase and part of the now sealed case.   However, results were disclosed incorrectly and I only found out  two days ago.   This disease did not form part of my knowledge during the case as I had been informed of a normal result that was not the case.   it is perfect clarity of a genetic disease where as the previous cardiac issue could be congenital until the pup is genetically tested.

      Halifax debt sold to Cabot

      By Deathbybanking · Posted

      Hi, Halifax recently sold a credit card account of mine to Cabot. I am unemployed and have no assets and was thinking of making token £1 payments for 12-18 months in order to drag things out a bit and reduce the chance of Cabot being able to get the correct CCA documents from Halifax if I requested them in future. However, I saw on the pages on this forum about defending county court claims that one of the standard approaches when defending such claims is to say “I had an account with bank X, but I don’t remember the details and so don’t know if I owe this debt…”. If I made £1 payments to Cabot, would it prevent me from using such a defence in future? OC: Halifax DC: Cabot/Wescot Card account opened: 2016 Defaulted: 2023

      CPR 31.14

      By jk2054 · Posted

      Hi, This may be the wrong place for a thread BUT If you receive a defence, can you send a CPR 31.14 request for document mentioned in the defence, and then apply to proceed with the case only after (14) days passed or they respond OR is it only if you receive a claim I see @dx100uk thread is for when you receive a claim, but can you also do the same when you receive a defence?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 looking for advice please

 

Myself and my partner lived in a property for 6 years and moved out at the start of December as we were expecting a child and needed a property with more space

The lease was due to end in February but we had the landlord and letting agents permission to move out and we found new tenants ourselves who moved in the weekend we moved out.

The new tenants have also paid a deposit to the letting agent and there has been a continuation of rent and no loss to the landlord.

The problem arises that we have not received our deposit back - in the lease it states there is a 4 week period from the tenant moving out for this to be paid

The landlords father is concocting damages to the property and withholding payment for really petty things ie there is a plank missing from the back fence , the kitchen door doesn't close properly etc and apparently is getting quotes for these

We left the property in far better condition than we found it and tbh if there ever were any problems like frozen pipes we fixed at our own expense ( wish we had been a nuisance to the letting agent and we may not be in this position now )

I have spoken to the letting agent at length and he inspected the property and in his opinion this guy is just trying it on.

The letting agent is currently on receipt of both our deposit and the new tenants deposit

How do I proceed with this?

Also we put new blinds into the property - am I within my rights to get these back as I'm well p...ed of with how this guy is treating us

£40k rent paid never late and we have been no bother at all

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Did your Tenancy start before or after 6th April 2007? If before, have you renewed your Tenancy agreement since this date, as if you had done so then your deposit should have been paid into a DPS.

 

Tenancy deposits

 

They commenced on the 6th April 2007 but only in respect of deposits received on or after that date. If you receive a deposit before that date then you do. not have to deal with it under the scheme (except where a tenancy agreement is expressly renewed after that date)

 

The above is from this link here, it is for the RLA & has all the information you need regarding your deposit & what to do/expect etc.

 

http://www.rla.org.uk/landlord/tenancy_deposits/tds-FAQ.shtml

 

I am also a private tenant, have been so for over 15years. I do know that if I stay with the same Letting agents they just transfer my deposit over to my new property (assuming all is in order of course with the property I'm leaving).

 

If I change Letting agents or go 'private with no agent' then my deposit has to be repaid back to me within 10 days of my leaving a property. (once again assuming all is in order with the property, ie no damages claimed for etc)

 

It's easier these days with having your deposits paid into a DPS as you now have control over it to some degree. You should be given within 30 days of a Tenancy beginning a certificate type piece of paper that should have the DPS name, reference number & access code (if applicable) so that you can go online & check your deposit. Your Landlord or Letting agent also hold theirs.

 

Once your Tenancy is up & you both agree no damages etc then your Deposit is released back to you. But if a claim is made for damages & your Landlord or Letting agent applies to the DPS for the money to be released to themselves, you can dispute this & the deposit money then stays where it is until a resolution is reached.

 

I did have an issue with a private Landlord a few years ago. My Tenancy was up on 10th Sept & I started to move out over the Bank Holiday, (with 4 boys, it gave me time to get the property cleaned, carpets washed etc) On the 2nd Sept, whilst in between moving out & into new property, the Landlord changed the locks. I was locked out with some of my possessions locked inside & the property was only half cleaned. The Landlord also applied to the DPS for my deposit to be paid to him. As the DPS notified me off this, I logged in & stopped the repayment & raised a dispute.

 

What followed was an 18 month battle, (I involved my local Council housing office & Shelter but got no where with them) In the end this was resolved in Court & was finally able to have my deposit released from the DPS. Although all my possessions were long gone by then!!

 

So I would start by going back to your Letting agent & check whether your deposit was placed into a DPS. (you also need to check when your Tenancy started before the 6th April 2007 & or if you renewed your Tenancy since then)

 

Also check out the link I've given you, there is lots of information there regarding Deposits etc.

 

Lastly did your Letting agent give you a checking out list? As usually a Letting agent goes around the property with a checking out inventory list (furnished or unfurnished it doesn't matter) as they should also check fixtures & fittings, with yourself present & you should both sign it.

 

The Letting agent is acting for the Landlord & as such should be resolving any issues raised. If your Letting agent agrees that the property is in order when you left, then it is them that should have repaid your deposit back to you within 10 days. But if you have stayed with the same Letting agent, what they usually do is transfer it over to your new property.

 

I always make notes & take photos of any damage before moving in & out off a property now, to cover myself. In my present property there's water damage from several leaks that the previous tenant did nothing about, so covered myself just in case I get blamed!!

 

Good luck

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every single minute of it!!

was there an inventory condition report done when you moved in and one done when you moved out? if not then not much the LL can do.

Also any claim would have to take wear and tear would need to be taken into account!

As said above if you signed any AST since April 2007 then the deposit should have been protected.

To get things moving start an action in small claims for return of deposit, but first write to LL, copy to agent, demanding deposit and give them 7 days to repond or you start court action.

IF your tenancy is since April 2007, and your deposit is not held in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, take him/her straight to court. The judge WILL find for you and MUST award an additional payment to you of THREE TIMES the deposit. Google 'AST deposit', there is a lot of info out there.
