    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.

    • 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'm really confused, my land lord decided to have his property back and served me the section 21 but I could find anywhere to go.

 

 

so I seek advice on my local council and they advised me to stay in the property until the LL get a accelerated possession order from the court and after the bailiffs'.

 

the council adviser told me if I leave before they will see my case as intentional homeless and they will not help me after that .

 

I never missed one rent payment, so no arrears at all.

 

the council adviser told me as well that the land lord has is paper work fine,

so its certain the court will give him a possession order, in the mean time I will continue paying my rent as always.

 

my questions are:

 

if the land lord going to court and ask for accelerated possession order this will be register on my mane and will affect my credit report?

 

 

is this type of order the same as civil judgment ?

 

 

I intend to keep paying the rent and the court cost, but I really have no other way and I would like to keep my name without any ccj that could affect me in the future.

 

 

any help will be much appreciated.

thank you in advance.

If you are evicted and get costs awarded against you it only affects your credit history if you don't then pay those costs.

 

My limited knowledge suggests that a council that is advising this is unlikely to have very good options available for rehousing - have they given you any indication as to your chances of getting something reasonable?

 

People often recommend going to see Shelter for advice. They may have useful information about what you can expect to happen in your local area.

A section 21 Notice is seen as a 'no blame' eviction. The council are ignoring that, you have no choice, you must leave and be re-homed. They will always say stay till the bailiffs come but that will mean you DO get a ccj against you for the costs of the eviction. Rent has nothing to do with this. It is mandatory that the court give the landlord possession.

^^^^^^^^^ Speak to Shelter, they have a legal department who will likely be able to advise you what your options are. If you look through their FAQ's there is a free telephone help line that you can call.

 

It seems very unfair if you were to obtain a CCJ for something you have absolutely no control over.

Hello crow_raven

 

1st

 

Has your LL issued you with a s21 and was your deposit protected ?

 

More on accelerated possession order here https://www.gov.uk/private-renting-evictions/accelerated-possession

 

My understanding (i think) is if the tenant leaves by date ordered by court, the tenant does not have to pay Any court cost.

 

It's only if a LL has to go back to court and get bailiffs to remove a tennat, then the tennat would have to pay court cost !

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

thank you for your help.

tomorrow I will call the shelter as I can not see any other option myself.

like I said the council adviser told me that I will be eligible for help but I can not leave my place or they will not help me.

 

 

I really don't want to have any ccj registered under my mane.

 

 

once again thank you for you help and time.

If the OP wants local authority assistance with rehousing, they have no option but to stay until they get the notice of eviction.

 

Costs are awarded at the hearing (or in the case of accelerated proceedings, on the paperwork), and therefore whether there are rent arrears or not, there'll be court fees to pay, which the LL is entitled to as having to go to court for the PO is going to cost him. Costs will be payable by the date on which the PO is given...so if the PO is given for 14 days, the costs will be payable by that date, and if they're not, it becomes a CCJ.

 

I see that OP hasn't bothered to answer 45002's VERY relevant question about the deposit.

No, as Leah has advised, if the court fees are paid within the 14 days then there will be no CCJ.

thank you citizen B .

 

 

I feel much better right now.

I contacted the shelter and they said the same.

also they told me that the council should not keep me and my family in the property for the whole process as children and a pregnant women are involved, but its a discretion so they shouldn't but they can.

looks like if I want to get any help for the council I will have to wait until the bailiff's show up for the eviction to be enforce.

any way I will pay the expenses with in 14 days to avoid CCJ on my name.

 

 

once again thank to everyone who help me on this matter .
