      my Leasehold/Freehold property and it's issues.

      By HP Mum · Posted

      Lolerz - I don't understand you.  Rebuked you?   No. I simply replied to your orange comments with legal facts as I know them.  I've already worked through the s42 and s146 issues - over the last 3-4y - and these issues are (mostly) resolved legally.  In terms of posting evidence.  Sure I can post some.  But my most recent questions have been a) how can I enforce a sale before trial?  And b) how can I make a complaint and/or a claim v receiver? (E.g. to which body do I complain?).  At the mo I'm asking for some helpful pointers on those specific questions??  I'm not asking for help with how to prove or present evidence. Fwiw - all evidence for trial has been disclosed (although additions are poss). The lender sent me like 10,000 emails and docs.  There's also 000s of emails, docs, photos, videos, recordings and texts that relate to freeholders/ me.   I read, filed and categorised everything for ease of future reference.  Witness statements and evidence were prepared for trial in the 42 and 146 matters. (now joined with current claim to save duplication).  I've lived the process before.  My current statement and linked evidence has taken like 6 months to draft/ write - to ensure I can succinctly prove my defence and counterclaim points.   Whether I can convince a judge at trial w/o lawyer / barrister is debatable 🙄   But I've prepared.  And continue to try better prepare - which is why I visit this site (and clinics).  This is NOT my business or expertise at all.  I'm just trying.  Not that anyone should ever have to justify why they need help if they ask politely!

      PRA Claimform - Old Barclaycard debt

      By Stripeycat · Posted

      It doesn't use the word reconstructed in the cover letter.  Although, I have just noticed on the cover letter they have asked me to complete a financial statement and offer a repayment within the next 10 days, or they will continue to follow court directions.  They sent a separate letter on the same day advising me they will be continuing with their claim ?  They have done the same for both claims.  Is it worth just doing that - doing the financial breakdown and offering a x amount.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

If you're on JSA, why do JCP staff choose what jobs you should do?

I was hoping that if I ended up on JSA, I could do their token jobsearch on the abysmal Jobmatch site and then do my own jobsearch later on at home at proper sites like Indeed or whatever, but it seems they're not letting you do that without a sanction. Why is that? Don't they trust us to look for ourselves? They honestly don't want people claiming benefits in the first place so it would be obvious that they would help us in our OWN jobsearch rather than theirs.

 

In fact, I heard a rumour that those upright machines with the touchscreens that print out jobs for you have disappeared entirely from ALL JCPs - is that true?

Are you on JSA then?

 

Not at the moment, but I am certain I will be forced onto it soon, and I just want to know what I can possibly expect. I've been reading up on sanctions, suspensions and God knows what again and I can't believe what I'm heading for. All negative news!

OK, so what is the story please?

 

Are you on ESA? DLA? PIP?

 

What are you currently claiming if anything??

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

I'm on ESA WRAG, but I think that time is coming to an end. I just filled in and sent off an ESA50, and am anxiously awaiting the result. My letter said the deadline was 4th of April, but I sent it off early on the 20th of March. I've been on ESA since (I think 2012) and I never had any demands for interviews nor sanctions nor anything, but I have a feeling I will be called up for a WCA as soon as possible and hell from then on. Even if I'm not called up for a WCA, I know I will be at some point and I feel depressed and sick about what's coming. Reading up such negative stuff on the internet probably hasn't helped, neither.

The jobpoints were removed from JCP offices some time ago as you could search but not apply for jobs. So there are now computers available to use. The jobseekers agreement SHOULD be a discussion between you and your work coach and they should ask what type of work you think you are likely to achieve as well as what you would like to do. Try not to worry too much at the moment as you don't know what the outcome of your ESA50 is yet.

Yes, the jobpoints were quite useless, as although some jobs had an email address you could send a CV to, most had a phone number you'd have to call anyway, to apply. At least having the computers there is a better sign.

 

Thank you for this information, Flumps1976, and yes, I am worrying myself too much for no good reason, but I have always tended to do that in my life. And I should really cross that bridge when I come to it, and not read about other peoples' experiences but focus on my own circumstances as they arise.

Why can't someone just answer my question, from their own experiences? Why the third degree?

 

Perhaps they want to ensure their personal experience matches with your circumstances.

No matter, since it's up to you if you want to run the risk of

a) getting people's experiences that are valid for their circumstances and not yours, or

b) people whose experiences are relevant to your circumstances deciding not to answer because it seems you'll just snap back at them.

People are asking you questions with the best of intentions - they are assuming you have a problem you need help with, and are seeking the information they need to offer advice. That's how this website works. As BazzaS says, it's a self-help site and you need to participate to get the best from it. Flumps1976 has also offered you excellent advice in pointing out that you don't yet know what the outcome of your ESA50/WCA will be. It's worth focusing on that for now.

 

You asked "Why do JCP staff choose what jobs you will do?" and then asked people to answer it in terms of their own experiences. The thing is, people can tell you what happened, how it happened and so on, but "why" isn't a question that can be answered from personal experience. JCP staff ask you to search and apply for particular jobs because that is what they are required to do. I think these rules are wrong, I think they damage people, I think they damage civil society as a whole, but we're stuck with them until we, as citizens of a democracy, force our politicians to change them.

PLEASE HELP US TO KEEP THIS SITE RUNNING. EVERY POUND DONATED WILL HELP US TO KEEP HELPING OTHERS

 

 

The idea that all politicians lie is music to the ears of the most egregious liars.

ESA WRAG is for 365 days then you're booted off it, whether they have found you work or not.

 

You should have been having WFI?

If you've been on ESA WRAG since 2012, then it would have ceased in 2013, as you're only able to claim that for 365 days.

 

You will also be mandated to attend work focused interviews, and training in an effort to gain employment before your 365 days are up.

 

If you're in the ESA SG (support group) then you are NOT subject to the WFI or any training, UNLESS you wish to make yourself available to them.

 

What was the prognosis from your last WCA?

I've never had a WCA.

 

I was on Incapacity Benefit / Income Support from 2005 up to around 2012, when I received an ESA50. I filled it in, sent it back, and they granted me ESA WRAG soon afterwards. I've been on it ever since, much more than 365 days, more like around five years, and never had a WCA.
