    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. 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. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.
    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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.

As above, I have privately rented the same flat for 26 years as of last month but may be moving out soon due to caring obligations. Simple query, should my landlord  have put my deposit into a deposit protection scheme or is it not relevant for such an old tenancy?

I've only ever had the original 1994 agreement,

the flats now have new owners and new letting agents,

and I know the hand over between the agents was very belligerent with very little or no records provided to the new agents,

 

they had no idea how long I had lived here until I told them,

and I suspect they do not have a copy of my tenancy agreement (I have a copy and all the relevant receipts)

 

They have no records of past repairs carried out or anything like that.

They weren't even aware that it was rented unfurnished and everything inside the flat is my property.

 

The new agents were just given a huge bag of keys with no indication of which flats they matched.

 

I don't really have an axe to grind here, it's just that when the possibility of moving out arose and I did some reading up I began wondering where things stood.

The tennat moved in 1994 and No section 20 notice was served at the start of the tennacy saying you have a AST.

 

Raven1 has a Assued "secure" Tenancy

 

And its still NO to Raven1 1st  question ....

45002, I understand section 20, unfortunately in some respects it is a pity Raven1 has had a crap Landlord although he has managed to live in the same place of residents since 1994.

 

I am in a similar situation I have lived in the same property since 1997 in a cottage on a Landed Rural Estate, with a good Landlord, my deposit which was one and a half times the first months rent, was held by the Estate Management Company and in 2005 was transferred to a TDP scheme and the deposit has always attracted interest.

 

I had an AST 6 months in 1997 and it was never  renewed, until 2/3 years ago but that is another story.Are you saying if a AST is not renewed it reverts to an Assured secure tenancy??

Do you have the exact date you 1st moved in ?

 

Raven 1 is Pre 2007 legislation and depoist would not coved by that act of parliament, IMHO.

 

Assured Tenancy. AT.

http://england.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/private_renting/private_renting_agreements/assured_tenancies

If you moved in between 15 January 1989 and 27 February 1997 and your landlord did not give you a notice (section 20) saying that you have an assured shorthold tenancy

About 3/4 down this page http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1988/2203/schedules/made


FORM No. 7
Housing Act 1988 section 20 Notice of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy.

 

Then it would be a Assured Tenancy.

If one of theses notices was served on tenant when the tenancy 1st started and LL would have to prove this in court, Its a AST and LL can use a s21 notice

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/50/section/20


1988 Housing act
Section 20
(2)
(b) is served before the assured tenancy is entered into.

 

If a LL gets a Assured Tenant to sign a AST, Signing a AST does not take way the rights of AT.

Read case law Kahlon v Isherwood.
