    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

you need to repond within 14 days I believe.

First thing, if you are now up to date with the rent and have the evidence send that!

You should mention that the extra £40/month he is claiming is illegal, unless you agreed to it! ( this could taken that you did as you paid it )

The rent cannot be increased within the first twelve months of a tenancy ( by law ) unless you agree to it, also the contract should be amended.

As for delays in rent due to benefit payment problems are not relevant, rent must be paid on time or within a reasonable time after due date, unless LL agrees or accepts.

If he has written to you saying this not accepatble then any futher delays could be used against you in this context.

If you can put together a list of all payments made and when since you moved in,up to present.

Not sure about S21 has the two months notice you received past and is the notice valid.

This means that the last day I can send it is 20 February 2013 (I have sent an email to the court yesterday when I have received their letter in goal to acknowledge receipt on 06 February 2013).

In the claimant claim the further £40 does not occurs : only the £260/month (the original rent agreed : my bank statements of the first three months of the tenancy prove that was the rent I had to pay). The contract has not been amended : the landlord had just sent an email for this purpose but i have respond to him explaining that i agreed for the further £40 if the harassment stop...and that has not been the case so (the harassment still continue) and i think I will make a counterclaim regarding this permanent harassment ( a lawyer told me that in case it seems to be a "breach of covenant for quiet Enjoyment").

I was regurly paying the half of the rent every two weeks. The landlord had not written against this two weeks delay except in the eviction notice received in november.

Correct.

 

Hello MoonTop.

 

It is very important that you keep looking for somewhere else to live.

 

Simple reason is once your landlord has served correct papers on you,got the dates right,so on and Judge is happy everything is correct....

 

Assured Short hold Tenancy will end in your Lawful eviction by court bailiffs.

 

Sorry to be blunt again,what have you done to find alternative accommodation

 

Your LL will win in the end with a AST !

Ok, is this a proper claim form issued out of Northampton County Court ?

 

If so, you have a timeline to adhere to.

 

Issue date 1st February + 5 days for service = 6th February + 14 days to acknowledge = 20 February + 14 to submit defence = 6th March.

 

Can you let us know exactly what it says on the claim form.. what the LL is claiming for ??

 

Is there any chance you can scan the front page of the claim form and post it here - you will need to edit out any personal information using your photo editing software.

 

 

Follow the instructions below.

No, it is not in Northampton County Court.

 

Presently I do not have a scanner and really sick so I cannot do the process above.

 

The ground is : 'rent arrears'.

 

In the 'Notes for defendant' it is said :

 

'You should : fill in the attached defence form and return it to the court within 14 days of receiving the claim form'.

Shelter will help you, with advise and defence if they can

No, last time the sent me 'Community Legal Advice' who use a 0845 number (and I had more that £100 as mobile phone bill) and the solicitor was taking all his time and did not really resolve the issue (i had to make a complaint against a police officer before to have the issue resolved).

The court hearing could go ahead without you,if your LL can prove rent arrears im afraid it's mandatory possession order with a AST..

There is a queue isn't? And sometimes I had to call shelter several times (with my reference number) when i had new infos for the solicitor...and presently i would like to net get extra charges due to my sensitive situation. However, i may not have any other choices...and may call them tomorrow.

 

I have made my calculation yesterday and it seems that my rent still presently up to date : i am waiting for the bank confirmation payments done to my landlord through my bank account. In addition to this I will give my last month mobile phone bill (the monthly fee deducted) to my landlord.

I don't think you fully understand or dont want to understand

 

How easy it is to evict a tenant with a AST via the courts and bailiffs ...

 

Your best bet is to find somewhere else to live asap and then sue your current LL in the courts for damages for attempted illegal eviction.

 

Good luck ....

Thanks but as I have the opportunity to make a counterclaim in my defense I will do it.

 

Just a quick summary of your 'contribution' : a month ago when I asked someone to help me fill the n244 form you requested from the moderator (who was willing to try to find someone in forum to help me) to wait until I receive a confirmation from the court that there is truly a possession claim against me. Now, a month later, (after reception of a letter form the court regarding a possession claim)I am asking help in the forum to fill my defense form and all you are saying (despite of the fact I already explained you several times that I am sick, on my own and presently cannot move) are :

- the landlord has not committed any harassment ('he has just changed the lock'...)

- i may not have my rent up to date

- i have to leave the property, etc...

 

Thanks God that at least my sickness has not affected my intelligence.

the OP has been given good advice on this and other problems, however rather than act on it he seems to question everything if it is not the answer he thinks he should have, at the end of the day he has prehaps a bad landlord, rather than keep arguing with him I think his energy should be expanded into moving out as for whatever reason it is obvious that he is not wanted at this property & everything seems to be getting more and more confused.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

You really make me laught but sad at the same time : you should compare your 'advice' with advice given on other forums : totally differents (but of course you could as usual say that sky is green while it is blue...).

 

Only you know the logic of showing that I have posted the same thread on other forum (if you think that i do not know that these links are easy to find using google) : for me your last post only says a lot about your own personality ('Op has posted same subject in three differents and also OP is wrong' : i am really sad for you....).

Good advice by 45002?

If yes, then you are joking .

 

I hope you do not really think that I needed someone before to know that I have to leave a property where I am permanently harassed: I have asked help in filling a counterclaim for in this forum and nobody in this forum (comparatively with the two others forum (proudly shown by 45002)) was able to give any relevant except the 'do you know that you have to leave?', 'you may not have paid your rent', etc...useless comments for a very clear request.

 

Please, as previously explained I am presently and it will be very great if you could not make me lose me energy for nothing.

 

If you cannot help then just ignore the thread instead of giving 'advice' based only on your prejudices.

OP stands for 'original poster'

 

The original poster is the person who started a discussion thread, and OP is used to refer back to that person as the responses grow.

Moontop - I have to be honest, I too am confused.

 

I have tried to keep up with you, but the thread appears to coming full circle all the time.

 

If you require assistance with a defence and counterclaim then you are going to have to at least provide us with a draft to work with.

 

What exactly is your counterclaim ?

 

You mention a solicitor - why are they not dealing with this for you ?

 

Are you still in a position where the locks have been changed on the property and you are unable to leave ?

 

If the LL has now followed the correct route in order to repossess then chances are that you will be removed. Is that what you are actually hoping for in order that the Local Authority will then have to accommodate you ?

 

From what I have read, you have indeed been given sound advice which appears not to be what you believe to be correct. If that is the case and you consider that other options are available to you, then perhaps you could share those with us and they can be investigated on your behalf.

I do not understand your last post, but all i can say is that due to my sensitive situation I don't think it is wrong to try have different point of view from others (others forums) and I hope the solution I have chosen will give me at least two months (since I am trying to find a job in despite of my sickness (one day/week volunteering work that could lead to a paid job (crisis + sickness)).

That is very worrying if you dont understand what I am saying. I totally agree with you, you can obtain advice from other forums or wherever else you choose. But to then return here and say to people who have kindly been helping you, that they are prejudiced or dont understand your situation or that they are just plain wrong with the advice they have given you, is out of order !

 

If you believe that the advice you are being given on other forums / websites is better for your situation, then I simply dont understand the purpose of your demanding that those advising you on CAG see it someone else's way.

 

Almost certainly if you were to instruct a legal team.. they would not be impressed if you were to tell them that Joe Bloggs down the road is giving better advice ! They would probably say.. fine.. go and instruct Joe Bloggs :)

 

It is your absolute right to find advice wherever you choose and it is in your best interest that you confirm that advice is correct. However, if caggers have been giving advice, which is consistent, then I doubt you will change their minds to the advice you have been given elsewhere.
