    • Where a person who owns or partially owns a property enters into an IVA, it's usual practice that in the fifth year, the person has to attempt to re-mortgage the property to release equity. It's extremely rare that a homeowner will be successful in re-mortgaging due to having a poor credit rating. Where the owner is unable to re-mortgage, the IVA is extended for a further year. This is absolutely normal practice in an IVA, and if your sister cancels payments to the IVA, the IVA is at risk of failing and she could be made bankrupt, therefore losing any equity she has in the property. 
    • Right. So I think it would be  good idea to give a brief description of the property, for example detached house, or flat or terraced. And some sort of identifier so we can distinguish from other properties you handle. An incomplete street address eg "No.14" would do so while preserving your privacy. Is the freehold title discrete for the property, or does it cover other leasehold properties? And a bit about your history, how current ownership came about. At one stage you said it used to be your family home, elsewhere you wrote that you'd bought the leasehold. Did those comments refer to this property? Did you acquire it on the open market, or from your family? Is this the house with the garages, where you own the freehold? Trying to understand whether there are underlying reasons that might account for problems with valuation, eligibility for finance, and the fact that neither you nor Lender found it possible to sell. Finally (for the moment) you refer to existing litigation. Does that relate to this property? If so it would be good to give a brief overview. Civil or criminal? What role do play .. claimant, defendant, appellant, respondent?  Charge, or cause of action. You don't want to go off on separate path that would better joined to the current proceedings.

    • 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.

Please have a read of the attachment as it provides information for homelessness from the start of the year till the end of March. 1st quarter. It is now once again on the increase...

 

 

" If faced with the loss of their home, any household can apply to their local authority for acceptance for housing assistance. A household is considered homeless if they no longer have a legal right to occupy their accommodation or if it would no longer be reasonable to continue to live there, for example, if living there would lead to violence against them."

Big problem. There was a programme on BBC recently, saying that there was an increase in young people sleeping rough.

 

Locally there are some quarries and there are a few cheap motorhomes being used for accomodation. I have also spoken to a number of retired people who now live in motorhomes, so they can travel around, without any permanent residence.

 

Are people living in motorhomes and cars considered homeless ?

We could do with some help from you.

The short answer to that is yes. The long answer would be if they were un/intentionally homeless either way living in a portable home in this day and age is unacceptable...

 

 

They will have to worry about the parking regulations and the such, some of these points are covered in local legislation.

They park in quiet back streets where there are no parking restrictions. To anyone not knowing, they would think the motorhomes were just owned by people living in houses locally.

What is the position with those living in canal boats? I know of a retired couple who spend their lives travelling along the inland waterway network through the year. What happens to them when they can no longer care for themselves - they have no immediate family and no property?

I think officially they are the responsibility of the council where they last had a permanent address. But of course it would not be that easy and if for example the boat they owned sank, if they had no money other than a standard pension, they would have to go to the nearest council to say they were homeless The council would then have to arrange emergency housing, while the matter was sorted out. I could see arguments breaking out between the various authorities, particularly when budgets are tight.
