    • Hello Friends. I cannot believe it but im being evicted again, i was given a section 48 notice 4 months into my tenancy. I already went through this process last year, i overstayed in my last place by a few months and left on 6th Oct 2023. I knew to check all the documentation that they sent to see if the notice is legal, it looks like it is. I took this place out of desperation as i had to vacate that last place. I hate this place so im not bothered about leaving it.    These cowboys lied to me when i viewed the house. I told the agent that i was evicted from my last house and naturally i dont want this to happen again. She said  the landlord has no plans to sell the house. What she did not tell me was that the landlord had tried to sell the house last year and failed. So it looks like they have used me to fill in the short period of time until its time to sell again. I did see it advertised online.   I told them im not in a strong enough financial position to find another property, cost of a deposit, 1 months rent and moving costs.   They have told me they are starting legal proceedings. They have sent me an invoice for £395 but i have not even received the court paperwork.    I dont like the job im in so i have decided to relocate to a better job and hopefully find cheaper rentals.   I can post a copy of the notice if needed.  
    • yes a judgement sorry I used the wrong word before
    • Hi So on Friday I received a copy on email from the claimants solicitors with an attached relief from sanctions application - on the basis that the solicitor missed the deadline for the additional directions and it was an oversight on their part and that the claimant should therefore not suffer.   They then attached a copy of the deed of assignment and a new witness statement.  They stated that they would be happy to delay the court date by 28 days but that they believed both parties were ready for the court case on 7th June. My first question, is there anything I need to do or do I just sit and wait to see what is decided?  Secondly, is it likely the judge will be aware that the claimants solicitors did exactly the same in the set aside court case (ie they filed their court bundle late and applied for relief from sanctions on the morning of the court date, and my solicitors had no choice but to agree because they threatened to strike my case out because my solicitors had only filed their court bundle by email and not post).  This is a clear pattern of how these solicitors work rather than it being a one off oversight! 
    • I shall find the link later this evening. It was about couples not living together but being liable for council tax. I was never married or in an official civil partnership. We lived together for 18 months, I then left for 6 months for work but continued to pay my half of the bills and rent.   We then split up I gave up my tenancy she took it all in her name. She then decided to move in with me 5 months later. She then banned me from going back to my house eventually let me back in then called the police. Took over my house and is now only paying the rent not the bills so I will be landed with those to. So over the course of our relationship I have ended up paying her debts for 5 different addresses, personal loans and credit cards. If I refuse to pay them she makes more accusations.

    • 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 only use Google on my phone and only recently on my work pc.

 

They do share history between both desktop and mobile browsing when using chrome and signed in to the same account but I can't see how this would create multiple logs, someone with more knowledge may be able to answer that

 

It will have lots of web pages open as I am notorious in not closing down tabs to sites I am not on. At work I mainly use my phone to surf a bit at lunch.

 

The tabs being left open could have an adverse effect if they have linked that device to you (probably through the device name if it is unique as your post would suggest). I know they will refresh if you open a tab which was already open which would create a log as if you visited that site. I don't however know if tabs that are left without being opened would do this, I doubt it though due to the potential data use.

 

I would personally stick by the advice offered earlier where if you have unequivocal proof that you were not able to connect at that time then you should be able to cast enough doubt to have the rest examined for a possible error in the logging.

 

Good luck with it all.

Thank you. Got another meeting tomorrow. They have gone away to consult with the technology department so fingers crossed. I did tell HR to feel free to contact me at jome if they came back and they had any questions. So still suspended. Signed nothing. Few notes were taken. Asked me questions but offered no new insight for me.

Can they legally go for a diciplinary hearing without making that clear? I thought mine was yesterday and it turned out to be an investigative one. After their umming and arring (HR called and asked to move today till tomorrow if they could not get hold of IT, then text me after I text to ask what was going on last night at 8pm that today was on after all. No mention of if it is investigative still or diciplinary. I am confused to be honest.

The verbal message in yesterday's meeting was let us speak with IT and meet tomorrow to discuss. No mention of any type of meeting so I have assumed investigative so no I have not arranged for representation (not in a union) Then yesterday afternoon HR called and said it might have to be put back to Wednesday and told me she'd let me know by 7pm. 7.30 I contacted her by text and she got back to me about 8 also by text. Saying the meeting was on for today.

Update.

Surprise disciplinary today. Got a warning for using Google chrome on my work laptop and synching of my devices (that was entirely my own fault) Happy with the result and lesson learned the hard way.

 

I would like to thank everyone that commented and gave advice as I am certain without you the penalty would have been more severe.

 

Thank you for the help and education. It is most appreciated. Lesson learned the hard way. Not something I am keen to ever repeat again.

Verbal warning for putting the company asset at risk through reckless behaviour. IT agreed there was enough evidence through explanatiom of what could have happened coupled with my proof of not being present in the office on several occations that it was plausible I was not surfing as accused of, and the warning was due to I should have known better to quote my manager.
