    • 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.

It has come to our attention that this thread relates to an episode that happened in 2009, i.e. some four years ago.

 

The thread was started with statements which indicated that this was all happening in real time and that the events had started only about three weeks ago with an initial bailiff visit.

 

The post went on to say that bailiffs were attending again “today” i.e. the date the OP made the post.

 

This gave the impression that this was a very urgent case which needed real time help.

 

THIS WAS NOT THE CASE

 

As a result there have been many members giving what they thought was help on this issue and I have no doubt some would have been doing this from their places of work as well.

 

These good people have been giving up their time on this for free in an attempt to assist someone who appeared to be in great distress and had an immediate need for help.

 

A good few members of the Site Team have also been involved in this as well and they also give of their time freely to assist others.

 

It is extremely annoying because those that have taken part and offered their time and expertise on this thread have been diverted away from helping on other threads where people may well have needed help.

 

In short, the folk who have contributed to this thread have simply had their time and effort wasted.

 

Thanks to those who took their time to post and try and help and I know that this is going to leave many feeling frustrated and annoyed as this kind of “game” is not what CAG is about.

 

We have taken appropriate actions in this regard.

 

This thread is now open again but please make sure that any further comments remain within the rules of CAG.

I had a feeling that this story did not ring true yesterday, but responded just in case there was a frightened old lady. I have no doubt that this type of situation has occured and people need to know how to deal with it.

 

I am in favour of a debate on any aspect that will help people, but let us have a sensible debate in the right manner, without it being about competition between online bailiff help sites or about any previous disputes between people that happened a few years ago.

We could do with some help from you.

Good posters responded in the spirit of Cag with the belief they were assisting with a live call for help, to now be told the moron was nothing more than a deluded individual attempting to satisfy their own agenda, can at best be described as appalling behavior.

 

I sincerely hope those that did respond to this post will not at a future date be deterred from assisting others in the same circumstances.

I also agree a good debate can produce 'food for thought' but how can anyone be expected to have a debate with this lowlife?

Well I, for one, was genuinely concerned about a frightened, elderly person.

 

Dx, I think it was, said it was a spoof in the first few posts, but what would have happened if we had treated it as a spoof, and it hadn't been? If we had ignored it and then read in the paper about a pensioner dropping dead or having a stroke because they were so terrified by a bailiff and it had happened yesterday afternoon, we'd all have felt terribly guilty.

 

I agree with WD: We responded in the spirit of CAG. We are always here to help where we can, and thankfully most posters here are genuine.

Hi DD

 

I think he was referring to the bailiff who was (allegedly) attending on the day.

 

I don't think it was a reference to the thread being a spoof.

What I find unforgivable is that the "spoof poster" could have easily posted a general enquiry. He or she did not do so, and instead, made us all believe that the supposed debtor was in very serious danger. I was genuinely very worried indeed for her and so much so that I even sent a private message to offer to assist.

 

I don't do this very often, and will only do so in cases where there is either evidence of vulnerability or where there appears to be a serious concern that the matter could get out of hand.

 

As the poster was a "new" member I was aware that she/he would not be able to respond to a my PM so I even provided my email address. I wondered why I had not received a response. Now I know.

 

What are the implications of this?

 

Naturally I will view all future questions on the forum with a degree of suspicion. I would suppose that others on here will do the same. As for sending private messages....I will do so only as a last resort.

 

For anyone interested, I have just sent a copy of a screen shot from another a forum (that is known to many posters on here and to most of the moderators) and where their SITE ADMIN member is stating:

 

Well I was banned from LB yesterday !!!

 

The post is typically followed by the usual "rant" against me personally.

Thank you lamma it certainly is.

 

There are clearly some people with very sick minds who have too much time on their hands.

It is very nasty indeed and helps no one, could it even be an Enforcement industry Troll?

Reprehensible behaviour that could impact genuine issues in the future that new members may post

 

Best course of action is to totally ignore this attention seeker-Keep up the good work guys & girls-I'm sure I speak for many when I say your input on various issues is greatly appreciated.

 

Don't let the occasional sicko spoil the good works that you do on here

Everyone who has been on CAG for a while knows how much tomtubby puts into helping people and sorting out their problems with excellent advice. It was a reprehensible thing to do, and may have an impact on other future posters who may have genuine problems but because they post in a way similar to the OP may not believed at a time when they genuinely need urgent help - but clearly this is not a concern for the OP who has a personal axe to grind.

No, BN it is as TT has posted and is being discussed by the perpetrator, ( an administrator) on the site of an old adversary of cag.

Well, fair warning to all contributors....the thread will be closed in the morning just to allow any final remarks from those who were good enough to give of their time to offer assistance in what appeared to be a genuine call for help.

 

As said before, please ensure that the final posts on this thread remain within the rules.

 

Thanks
