    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;     I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth.

    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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 really dont think that you can sue the Council for not fencing off the land and the people who fly tip can be prosecuted by the Council, I dont think you can sue the council for allowing fly tipping as by its nature it is illegal to fly tip.

To be honest I think you are onto a looser with this, if a fence is put round the land it probably wont stop people crossing it if they want to break in to your house, theives will get in anywhere if they want to.

It may be that you live in a high crime area and its going to happen anyway.

Either fence it yourself (and see who tries to stop you or says you cant ) or write to your local councillor asking them to look into it.

By its own nature the land itself it not dangerous, therefore there is no need for the Council to Fence it off for the safety of Children, it is actually up to the Parents of the Children to tell them not to go on the land if they think its dangerous.

It would appear that the land is owned by the Council and that it is for sale and it has outline planning permission but you cannot make them fence it if they dont want to, however it will be fenced off quickly enough when someone buys it and starts building on it.

It wont even pass the first hurdle in court. With the dampness example you listed, it is the person being written to who is responsible for the problem being faced.

 

You are wanting to write to someone who is not causing a problem to fix your problem.

 

You are going to be told to spend your own money on your own fence.

 

But seeing your councillor about the neighbour problem makes sense.

Just re reading your original posts, i think that you have more of a problem with your neighbour than the unfenced land and putting up a fence wont stop any anti social behaviour on their part, you have said that you are not living in the house at the moment, have you thought of selling it?

Looking at the area in general I would say its not one of the best areas in Breadford and prehaps you should have looked around at the neighbourhood before buying as it may have given you an idea of the type of area it is. I have also got to say that the land was there when you moved in and wasnt fenced and it would appear that none of the other neighbours have felt that it is enough of a problem to involve the Council, if their views have changed then a collective letter to your local Councillor may have some effect.

Just paid a visit to the house (staying at my mums for time being) - the neighbours have made a 6t wide gap in the hedge in the rear garden and are now entering my garden inc the children, this is tresspassing.

 

They have also placed a swing in their garden facing towards the gap, so when they swing they feet go through the gap in the hedge.

 

Now, I have 2 options the police have told me

 

1. fence the gap up with wooden fencing (but they could use the swing in their garden and knock/break down the fence)

 

2. use steel palisade fencing to fill the gap

 

what do you suggest

 

if i was to go with the wooden fencing option and the neighbours caused damage, what legal action can i take, as the police wont do anything - i was thinking of getting the landlord details, seeing a solictor and taking private court action against them?

The neighbour has a tree in their garden and several of the branches are over hanging into my garden, which the children are using to climb onto and then climb onto my fence, am i legally o.k to cut down the branches of the tree that over hang into my garden?

I need the BEST anti vandal paint that can be used on a garden fence and which will not dry up in the sun or come off in the rain, can anyone please provide a link to where i can buy this from?

 

can it be bought in clear instead of coloured, so the neigbours wont realise?

You can cut down the branches but you have to return them to the neighbour i believe

tresspass is a civil matter

is the Hedge yours or the neighbours?

If it is the neighbours then thay can make a hole in it, if you wish to block the hole then you should make sure that the fencing is on yopur side of the property

If you see a solicitor then I hope you have plenty of money as neighbour disputes can be very costly.

Why dont you just put the house on the market as you are not living there and the problem neighbours are unlikely to go away any time soon.

Hi

 

Well I think you need to speak to the local police Crime Prevention officer or ask if they would visit to give you advice from the police prospective and you can as if they can be out of uniform when they visit.

 

Next if the property next door is rented i think you need to try and find out who the landlord/ letting agents is and start sending complaint to then but CC the letters to the local councils Private Landlords Dept. ( this way you are covering you bases by letting both landlord/letting agent and the councils privte landlords dept know what is going on and builds up your cases of evidence)

 

Now if the wooden fencing is being destroyed i would think if may be impracticale to replace this with they same type fencing as it will probably happen again so i would suggest trying to look for alternative more secure fencing.

 

Have you thought of the following:

 

Installing a Burglar Alarm?

Putting a sensor light in back garden?

CCTV - I know you are looking into this

Anti climb paint - Now i would check with the police/local council as there may be certain legal restrictions to its use although you own your property but i would still check.

Hi Layla,

 

Anti vandal paint products can be used on wood fencing but it's normally used at heights of over 2 metres and with clear warning signs that it's there.

 

If you put it on a fence top where people might readily touch, you could be responsible for damage to clothing.

 

If your problem is with neighbours climbing over into your garden, you could consider erecting some strong trellis panels which may deter unwanted entry.

 

AV Paint products are readily available if you search on-line but I'm not sure if this is the best option for you.

The Neighbours from Hell (NFH) are tresspasing into my rear garden through the gaps in the fencing here (the fencing was destroyed by a tree which they cut down in their garden and which in turn fell and destroyed my fencing)

 

NFH kids and their friends are coming into my rear garden through the gaps here (where my fence used to be)

 

408486763.jpg

 

408486761.jpg

 

408486762.jpg

 

408486766.jpg

 

They have also placed a dog shed on purpose leaning against my fence which broken by the pressure, see below

 

408486920.jpg

 

My rear garden is private property so if the children and their friends are tresspassing into my rear garden what action can i take to stop this happening?

 

Their mother is a real chav NFH - she won't stop her children tresspassing. Her children have also been damaging my fence posts with hammers in an attempt to make them collapse.

 

Today NFH have been attempting to cut down these trees in the garden and then try to push them over into my garden like last time

 

 

Their mother is fully aware her children are tresspassing, are cutting down trees (see my previous post of what damage they caused)

 

What can I do to stop the tresspassing - the NFH rent their home. It was auctioned a few months ago and a new landlord bought the land. One of the conditions in their tenancy agreement is they must not trouble neighbours or anyone in the area or they could be evicted.

 

Their landlord is fully aware of what his tenants are doing but does not care - he only cares about the rent he is getting from them.

 

Now what can I do to

 

1. Stop the tresspassing

 

2. Stop them throwing litter into my garden

 

Which CCTV system is good enough to cover the entire length of the garden

 

So I can have concrete evidence of their tresspassing, causing damge to my property and throwing litter.

They have also been stacking up metal and other rubbish against another section of fence which has now broken by the weight/pressure of the the items they have placed from their side against my fence, see below

have you spoken to the anti-social behaviour department of your local council?

 

check as well weither any of the trees are under a preservation order? if you can get proof its them damaging them they are in trouble

 

check with enviromental health on the rubbish claim its attracting vermin and they may look at it

(if not point out to the neighbour that its all scrap metal and is from what i can see about £40-£50 quids worth at any decent scrap yard - you will probably soon see it vanish for cash)

I did speak to the council re: the throwing of rubbish over the fence and into my garden, they don't seem to care and have not warned the tenants next off for what they are doing inc their children damaging and tresspassing into my rear garden.

 

I will check re: tree preservation order?

 

No chance in getting to speak to the NFH they don't want to know or their landlord

What about making a report to the Police ? Harassment, anti-social behaviour. Perhaps if the Police visited the neighbours to warn them not to enter your garden, then this would nip this in the bud, before it escalates.

I made a report to the police re: the tresspassing/throwing rubbish and swearing to my tenants. The police simply gave my tenants a "diary" to keep.

 

What makes matters even worse is the PCSO who came down was too scared to go next door and talk to the NFH. Because they are well known to the police and the PCSO said something along the lines of "I don't want to go next door because doing that will only make things much worse (for my tenants)"

 

So he just gave the diary and left.

 

I mean the police should have warned the NFH next door!

Re: the broken fencing which the broken tree from the NFH garden next door has caused. The insurance does not cover fencing and I'm certainly not going to pay to repair my fencing which the tree next door has damaged it lies with the landlord next door...the NFH refuse to provide the details of the landlord i've asked them many times

I have a number of cameras around my property. They hook up to my wireless router and sends images to a gmail account I set up and have on my phone so when the cameras motion detection is tripped my phone gets an email with 5 photos. I can also view it via my iphone and ipad (or any PC) if I want. The images stay on the gmail account should I ever need them, I just empty it every few months so it does not fill up.

They do other camera but this one, in my experience (and I had the other brands) is the best in this price range.

 

They only need power lead. If it's not long enough you can cut the power lead in half and fit some cable in the middle to extend it, this is what I did on 1 camera. It's pretty basic stuff.

You need to make a report to the police of criminal damage and if they ask what the damage is tell them that the fence and all of your plants come to a value of about £500 and then they will show more of an interest. You have taliked down the problem so no-one is bothered. Also write to the landlord (if privately owned) and tell him/her that you well be suing for the damage unless they do something to make amends within a set peroid of time-14 days is normal. Then sue in the county court for the costs you have incurred/value of the destroyed property and for harassment. There is a scale of damages normally used in such cases. The LL wont want to have to explain to the insurers why it has got to this unless they have deep pockets.

Also find out if the area is part of a tree conservation area and if it is report to the environmental dept about the cutting of trees without permission. Eventually you will have enough pomplaints going at the same time you will be able to be rasonable in asking council chiel Exec to investigate and report them to the Local Governmant Ombudsman if they fail in their duty.

Totally agree with ericsbrother.

 

Don't be fobbed by the police. It's their duty to act in cases like this.

 

You need to send a formal letter headed LETTER BEFORE CLAIM listing all the problems they have caused and the remedy you seek: costs of repair, etc., and give them 14 days to respond telling them that if you fail to hear from them you will immediately issue proceedings in the County Court.

 

They sound completely vile.

The police visited my tenants but gave them a "diary" to keep and told them "...Going next door to the NFH will only make things much worse for you, its best we don't go there for your sake. The tenants are well known to the police....blah blah blah"

The problem here is the PSCO are afraid to go next door to the NFH who are a real nasty bunch. They are very well known to the police but the police are afraid of even going to their house!

I spoke to the police who told me they can't help because the trees (which fell and are being cut on purpose) are on private land owned by the landlord and its a matter between me and the landlord and that I have to get the costs for the repair and bill the landlord - if he fails to help then sue him in court.

 

The harrassment has been going on for years as well as the tressapassing..the council and police have not once showed any care in getting these NFH evicted.

 

They are refusing to remove the metal stacked against my fence

408486767.jpg

 

They are refusing to remove the dog shed they have put on purpose against my fence as well

408486920.jpg

 

 

 

They are "untouchables" as far as the police are concerned! They have made life a misery for everyone in the area for many years.

 

 

The NFH refuse to provide the landlords details.

 

These are some of my fences which have been damaged by the falling tree and also by the NFH leaning metal and the dog shed onto my fence.

 

 

408486766.jpg

 

 

I feel like crying...can you guys help me get victory over these NFH please!

 

My priority is to get the fencing fixed up to stop the tresspassing first of all (can't wait 14 days for the landlord next door to respond and daily tresspassing)

 

Shall I...

 

1. Get invoices for the cost of the fencing and pay for it to be fenced off

 

2. Send the invoices to the landlord - 14 days to pay or he goes to court.

 

3. I don't have legal cover but i'm not working so will it be free to sue the landlord through small claims court?

 

They are more than vile Desperate Daniella - the police are afraid to take action against them!

 

Can someone help me come up with a draft LETTER BEFORE CLAIM - I've never had to do one before and are proceedings issued through the small claims court? I have no idea how this works?

my neighbour is getting deliveries of stolen metal from the area i live in and is stacking the stolen metal in his garden on a daily basis. Several times a week a van comes which takes this metal taken away to be sold on.

 

there is a large field behind my neighbours house so most of the stolen metal is delivered across the field under the cover of the field and trees straight into the neighbours back garden and stacked up and sold on.

 

the neighbours are responsible for many break ins in the area...they have 2 or 3 familes in the same street who are all in it together.

 

They broke into the house next door and stole all the copper piping in the house - stripped the house bare. The poor elderly lady whose house it was was on holiday at the and came back devasted. It effected her health so bad, she was scared in her own home and is now in a nursing home knowing her neighbours broke into the home.

 

The home is for sale and the neighbours have broken into the home around the back and gone in through the patio door and stripped the home bare of all metal again.

 

what can be done to stop this activity from happening...the neighbours are renting the house from a private landlord and the landlord is aware of what is happening but allows it to happen.

 

what steps can i take?
