      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

      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.

My daughter and her fiance's tenancy is up at the end of the month and they are moving to a new place. However, over the last few days the landlord has been coming round randomly and moaning about the state of the place (there's nothing wrong that wasn't there when they moved in), saying he'll have to replace the carpet throughout (this was after they'd had it professionally cleaned and it's now immaculate) and generally being a git.Today he actually let himself in and her fiance had to call the police to get him out, though they didn't do much as apparently it's a civil matter. It's obvious he's going to try and hang on to their deposit and I know they can appeal against this, but is there anyone they can complain to regarding the landlord's behaviour?The official inspection is tomorrow and I'm going to be there for moral support, but would like to know exactly where they stand.

The police were wrong. It isnt a civil matter when he gave no notice and let himself in to the house ( im guessing it is a self contained flat/house). It is effectively breaking and entering.

 

What you can do is this. When he give an "official inspection", before he turns up, take pictures of everything, just incase he tries to damage, or claim something is broken.

 

If he claims something is broken or dirty/needs cleaning, ask him to specifically explain in detail what he means. Do this for EVERYTHING he comments on.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Thank you renegade imp. I'll follow your advice. I'm not surprised at the police, don't know what they're like anywhere else, but round here I get the impression that everything's just too much trouble for them and they'd rather not have to deal with it!

Most local police are like that. This is because they simply have no training in this area. The ones that actually do seem to do a good job are village officers, or small community ones.

Sounds like a rogue landlord. You need to report him. Especially £200 for a 'credit check'.

Fuming! Went with my daughter and fiancé to the house for inspection and landlord had already let himself in. He was completely unmoved when we protested and just said call the police if you want. He refused to discuss the £200 credit check fee (which he called a housing arrangement fee) or disclose who he'd gone through even though they have a right to know under data protection. Finally he's said he's keeping half their deposit for a new carpet, even though it's in the same condition as when they moved in. Nothing riled him at all. So what next?

Claim your deposit back, or notify the deposit scheme you have left.

Hope you took lots of photos and noted anything on the inspect report that you disagreed with.

You can open a dispute through the scheme about the amount of deductions etc. or you can just take LL to court.

Any deductions must be fair and take into wear and tear etc.

He must return any deposit not in dispute within 14 days of leaving.

You also MUST get in touch with shelter to confirm your legal position of a landlord letting himself in with no prior notice and with nobody around.

Thanks both. My daughter's already printed off TDS forms and there's plenty of photographic evidence. Her bloke also filmed the landlord letting himself in on his phone, and all of yesterday's conversation was recorded - though the landlord isn't aware of this. I'll ring Shelter today on their behalf as both are working. What I'd really like now is to know where the £200 'housing arrangement' fee went, but Mr. Landlord seems to think he's above the law and doesn't have to disclose this!

Incidentally, I acted as guarantor when they signed the tenancy and landlord said to me yesterday 'I might be coming after you for money and I can have a covenant put on your house'. As they've always paid their rent on time and gave the required notice, he's talking out of his backside, but surely this is intimidating behaviour? Wish I'd been more on the ball and asked what money he could come after me for, instead of just saying good luck with that matey!

Change the locks to stop LL entering without permission your daughter and bf home, in the end it's there home and they do have a right to privacy.

 

When changing the locks be carefully not to cause any damage to LL door and locks,then when your daughter and bf leave just change the locks back to LL ...

 

Good luck.

Please use the quote system, So everyone will know what your referring too, thank you ...

Nice idea 45002, but their tenancy ends today anyway. Spoke to a very vague young man at Shelter who said that the only thing we can do as far as the landlord entering is concerned is take him to the small claims court and sue for damages, though it would be very difficult to quantify. He didn't sound very hopeful anyway.

The ICO were more helpful about the withholding of info issue and said they should SAR him and if he fails to respond within 40 days put in a complaint through them.

You need to ask shelter to put you through to someone who actually has knowledge of the situation. Never be fobbed off by the first person who answers the phone.

Well what a surprise! My daughter and her fiancé vacated the property yesterday and they'd hardly shut the door behind them when it appeared for rent in the local paper - advertised as 'in excellent condition'! But at the inspection the day before it was 'in a state' and he was keeping half their deposit.
