    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

My living expenses at present are,

 

I pay £18.00 per week for gas and electricity on a budgeting plan,I am a low energy user.

I pay £4.00 per week towards council tax.

I pay £7.00 per week water rates

I pay £8.00 per week for a budgeting loan

I pay £6.00 per week towards soap, wash powder, toilet roll, cleaning materials and so on.

 

Total out goings £43.00.

 

I do not have a TV so I do not have to budget for a licence nor do I have any debt as I rely on the budgeting loan to buy my clothes and cover any household expenses repairs/ replacements etc which gives me roughly £150 every 6 months.

 

I receive £73.10 per week JSA so after taking away my priority expenses I am left with £30.10 per week.

 

I am a single healthy male so not worthy of any extra help, I do not have a invisible partner, a child nor a job on the side.

 

My job centre is a 10 mile round trip which I walk to each week, if I use public transport I will not have any money left to eat for that day.

 

If I have to pay 10% towards my rent, which in my case would be £10.00 (£100.00 per week for a single bedroom flat) then I will be left with £20.00 per week a 33% decrease in my income which would leave me with £2.85 per day to spend on food, drink , job hunting , entertainment.

I think that is the absolute definition of a broken system.

 

and for those who say he should move into a £50 a week room, that would give him an extra £5 a week which would probably go on higher heating requirements.

 

£5 extra being more than a 16% increase in weekly expendable income all other things being equal - what a disgrace.

Assuming such a place exists, which it probably doesn't.

 

 

If I could get £50 per week for a spare room, I'd certainly consider taking in a lodger....

one problem with the current system is that it encourages landlords in many parts of the country to charge rents that would be unsustainable without HB subsidy. If the system changes then many amateur landlords would go bust and the houses would become cheaper and thus rents lower and the same percentage return on investment made. However, the banks dont want to become slum landlords so the deceit continues. It is handy for the govt to say that all of these people trapped by the proposed changes should move somewhere cheaper but they cant due to lack of housing supply and the above skewing of the rental property market. What would they do if 3 million homeless people decided to turn up in Parliament square with a tent?

Also important to remember that moving is expensive. It is expected that the person provide a deposit up front and may require the payment of fees. If you have no one to help then it requires at the very least the hiring of a vehicle big enough to transport your belongings, and possibly removal person or people to do the heavy lifting. There are often other expenses that may go with a move - for instance if you live somewhere with a cooker and the new place does not have a cooker. There are no longer any budgeting loans, and the council funds available are small and difficult to access. Few people on benefits have the savings to give them the flexibility to decide to move somewhere cheaper, they are often trapped in the situation of not having enough money to live somewhere by not having the money to move somewhere cheaper.

That is what is on my mind as well, I have friends who say 'why dont you move?' I point out moving costs, fees if renting private, deposit, replacing things like curtains that dont fit the new place, plus I have a support netwirk here, the estate is quiet and safe, the only cheaper places are on bad estates that have high crime rates and I would know no-one :(

Sparks,

Are you hit by the bedroom tax perchance?

If so, have you thought about letting a room? I must admit to not knowing the ins and outs of people on benefits renting out rooms.

£50 a week for a room in a house shared with the owner is quite common around here, buts thats + sharing the bills which would probably work out more expensive for the OP than his existing minimal bills.

(I'm in the midlands and in a large town not in a major city)

I am in private rented accomadation so its not bedroom tax its they will only pay for my part of the rent, I live with my working daughter in a 3 bed house, I would not like a stranger to live with us, plus the only bedroom free is the small one...neither I nor my daughter would like to have that as a bedroom! you can just about get a single bed and a chest of drawers in it, nothing more!

Its a vicious trap.

 

Estellyn and a few others on here may remember my plight a few years back, I had to make a decision when I had 18 months or so of reduced housing benefit when they introduced the under 35 years old single room rate.

 

Basically I did the maths and worked out was more expensive to move into a bedsit than to stay in my single bed flat for those 18 months, why? because moving is not free, especially on the private market. That is excluding the cost of the harm to my health which the process would have caused.

 

Also now days around here bedsits cost more than £50 a week, it was £60 a week 12 years ago when I moved into one.

Mightily relieved they did not announce this measure it has been worrying me all week. I think my email to George made him think twice lol, I wish.

Thank you for sending that email, it'd been worrying me as well. Now, if you don't mind me taking you to task, why the oojimiflip did you not send an earlier one about the bedroom tax? :madgrin:
