    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • 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.

Hi,

Just wanted some advice please

 

 

my son has Rent arrears form 2012/2013 when he was in a hostel for 3 weeks

the debt is 580 pounds

we have only just recently found out about the debt

he has been put on the housing register as he is homeless but he's been suspended from bidding.

 

 

we have asked how much to pay to be released from the suspension

& 3 people have said different things

 

 

we have said if we pay all off will he be able to bid

they said its down to the housing managers to say whether he can bid.

one person said 10 weeks someone else said 10 months.

 

 

my thing is

they have had 3 years to find him and they said they don't have the resources to look for him.

I don't want to pay all off in one go and they come up with something else for why he cant bid!

they say they want to see he pays his bills!

 

can anyone help and let me know what the normal practice is with arrears

just want some one to be straight

 

 

he's been given 30 points for medical & social now he's homeless

not because of his doing and he's priority due to mental health

so waiting for those points and that process.

 

If anyone can let me know the process would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi lills66

 

Are the Arrears correct? (did he claim housing benefit at the time)

 

If you are contacting them by phone please stop unless you can record the call (as has already happened you have had 3 different version responses) you want these in writing only. Only do this in writing so you have evidence and ensure to keep copies of everything you send and get free proof of posting from the post office.

 

Now his medical condition try to get as may letters from those treating him to support his application (GP, Consultants, etc)

 

The main issue is the Arrears so when you write to them ask for the following:

 

1. Copies of the rent arrears 2012/2013.

2. Copy of the Hostel Agreement.

3. Copy of Customer Care Standards.

4. Copy of the Homelessness Policy.

5. Copy of the Housing Register Policy.

 

Try to come to to an arrangement as you have been trying (as I said everything in writing) and get as much medical evidence (by way of supporting letters) to back up the application.

Hi Stu007 He applied for HB and was there 3 weeks before he went into hospital for a month so lost the hostel place he applied for HB while he was there but for some reason it didn't go through that's why we were shocked for it to come up now after all these years because this could have been sorted before he was homeless and asking for help.

 

2 weeks ago he was made illegally homeless from his room rental that's why he's applied for homelessness. I personally feel he shouldn't be suspended because they never told him about it before.

 

I have got it reduced by £140 which is better he agreed 2.50 a week because he's on ESA support group but I have been paying £15.00 a week I could pay it all off but if they don't let him come off suspension that's a fair bit of money in one go & because housing managers decide about it apparently if some one can bid??

 

If I've paid it all off and then they decide he cant bid or they wont accept his homeless application I could carry on paying the way I am.

 

I record all the meetings on my mobile. doctor has written another letter this week stating sort accommodation out please. its just I don't believe everything the council say to us.

 

thank you.
