    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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,

I have a problem with Bristow & Sutor.

I had some financial problems and I didn't pay my council tax bill on time.
It looks like the council forwarded my account to Bristow & Sutor.

Now my financial situation is better and I paid my council tax bill (the debt) in full about 2 months ago. Direct to the council (using www payment).
So now I don't have any debt with council.

Today, the bailiff came to my home (I wasn't at home) and he left me a letter.
The letter says it's for a council tax debt.
They want me to pay £310 (this includes Enforcement Stage Fees of £235). I think £75 is for the first stage. Total £310. That's just their fees.

Can they charge me £235 for today's visit if the debt has been paid in full 2 months ago?

Thanks for your help.

Hi.

 

I'd be ringing the local authority NOW and asking them exactly what is going on!

 

Tell them to call their bull boys off, you do have evidence of paying them don't you?

 

P.S. You don't have any other CT debts with another LA do you?

I don't have any other council tax debts. Reference numbers match.

 

Liability order date: 12/01/2021

I didn't get any notice of enforcement from busted and stupid. Today I have received the first letter from them.

Debt paid in full: 24/02/2021

As a Liability Order had been obtained on 12th January, it would be usual for the local authority to pass the debt to their chosen Enforcement  within a few days and if so, you should have received a Notice of Enforcement a few days after they had received instructions (probably around the end of January).

 

You need to call the council and ask them the following information:

What date was the account passed to B&S?

What address would notices have been sent ?

If they have the information.....what date did B&S send the Notice of Enforcement to you.

I will ring council now If they are still open. If not - on Monday.

 

Today's letter attached.

The letter doesn't say what goods they want to take but I have a car trailer outside my house.

I think they want to take the car trailer.

It's not my trailer. Friend just store it on my drive. He has a receipt for the trailer in his name.

I understand that bailiff can't take the trailer if it's not mine. I am right?

 

And the main question...

Can they charge me £235 for today's visit if the debt doesn't exist any more?

Just spoke to the council.

They confirmed the debt has been paid.

They said B&S just want to recover their fees from me.

They said that if I haven't received any letter from B&S I must ring B&S.

 

How can I prove I haven't received any letter from them?

 

I just checked all the letters from last months.

I found the Notice of Enforcement.

I'm not sure how this could happen. Maybe my partner opened it and forgot. I don't know.

 

I have received the Notice of Enforcement.

Do I have to pay all their fees (£310) now?

If the bailiff has received the LO, they can charge the Compliance fee £75. If they are to continue, they have to send a NOA.


Are you sure you have not received correspondence from them?


if not you owe £75 if you have its £310

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES TO COLD CALLERS PROMISING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES FOR COSTLY TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS WITH SO CALLED "EXPERTS" THEY INVARIABLY ARE NOTHING OF THE SORT

BEWARE OF QUICK FIX DEBT SOLUTIONS, IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT INVARIABLY IS

At least you are being honest. Once the account is received from the council, a Notice of Enforcement will be sent and this will include a statutory 'Compliance fee' of £75. 

 

The NoE will state upon it the date (and time) by which you must either: pay the amount stated on the NoE in full, or alternatively; set up a payment arrangement. If payment is not made by this date, then the account is passed to an enforcement agent. A further 'reminder' letter is not sent. At the time of the personal visit (which in your case; was on 16th April), a statutory enforcement fee of £235 is added to the debt. 

 

As you had paid the council direct, that payment is merely a part payment and enforcement may indeed continue for the balance (of £310).

 

PS: This identical situation had been subject to a rather messy legal action which I had written about quite extensively on this forum at the time. The debtor lost the case and it was clearly established that payment direct to the council AFTER a Notice of Enforcement had been issued is merely a part payment given that, from any payment made the Compliance Fee must be deducted first etc, etc. To avoid this situation happening, almost all councils receiving direct payments will forward the payment to the enforcement company.
