    • Hi I have to agree with @unclebulgaria67 post#3 For the funding side of moving to a new area and it being private supported accommodation I would also suggest speaking to private supported accommodation provider about funding but also contact the Local Council for that area and have a chat with them about funding because if you are in receipt of Housing Benefit certain Supported Accommodation that meets a certain criteria is treated as ‘exempt accommodation’ for Housing Benefit purposes but you need to confirm this with that relevant Council in your new area especially since it is Private Supported Accommodation as each Council can have slightly different rules on this. If you have a certain medical condition look up the charities and also have a wee chat with them as they may be able to point you to different Grants to assist with moving costs and your question about funding for private supported accommodation as well.
    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)

    • 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.

apologies dx100uk. Like everyone else, I have a million other things in my daily life to attend to and an extremely demanding job. Getting time is one of my biggest difficulties. Add to that I've never had to deal with this kind of thing before, so I'll take as much help from you as I can get given that you obviously know a great deal more than I do.

 

So to answer my question, am I right in thinking that I need to physically post hard copies of the N180 response to both the court and the other side? I'd made the mistake of assuming everything could now be done online.

so - this is a private parking claim and I did use the defence statement suggested.

 

If I click No for mediation - will that not go against me as it could be used to show I wasn't willing to resolve?

 

What reason do I give for saying No to determination without a hearing?

I have to post these off tomorrow and I'm genuinely now at the point where it may just be better that I give in and pay the money. I genuinely don't know if I'm up to this.

or there is simply nothing to mediate over...............think about it...

 

who says you owe the speculative invoice in the first place... not the judge as they've not even seen the case file yet.

so who says you owe sols fees?

let alone the court claim costs .?

 

no-one 

 

negotiation means give and take ....agree a figure... there is not one to agree over...wake up!!

 

you dont need to give a reason.

on the papers means they can send fake/doctored exhibits you will not be able to argue against

 

you seriously must get reading up.

The forum is quite happy to guide you but as dx says you need to read some similar threads to familiarise yourself with the court process.

 

It makes no sense to give in now, as costs are already included in the  fleecers' claim.  If you pay now, you pay £237.  If by some horror you lose in court - very, very unlikely but let's be pessimistic - you pay £237.  So it's obvious it makes sense to fight this.

 

In fact even if you were to lose in court it's highly likely the judge would disallow the £60 Unicorn Food Tax that the fleecers have made up and you'd pay £177..

We could do with some help from you.

I've just read your thread from the start.  A few things.

 

1.  You can e-mail the DQ to the court but you should never give the fleecers your e-mail address as they will send lies later on at one second to a court deadline and you'll have no chance to counter.  So send the fleecers their copy by snail mail and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.  Make damn sure your e-mail address is not shown on the copy of the DQ that you send to the charlatans.

 

2.  At some point in the future you will need to write to the fleecers and tell them not to correspond by e-mail, as you've already given them your e-mail address.  If you still have time you could kill two birds with the DQ.  Enclose a letter:

 

Dear Britannia Parking,

 

Re: claim no. XXXXX, PCN no. XXXXX

 

I enclose my Directions Questionnaire regarding the above-mentioned county court claim.

 

Kindly note that the e-mail address XXXXX@XXXXX used in the past for communications between us is absolutely not to be used for correspondence regarding the court claim.

 

Yours,

 

3.  Can you please upload the original PCN you got from them.  £90 is a strange amount and it would be good to see what they sent you.

In reality you will challenge their statement within the contents of your own statement. There are valid reasons already stated along side the section on the N180.

 

Quote

Relevant reasons include that there are factual disputes which will need the judge to hear from witnesses directly (in which case please specify the factual dispute and the relevant witnesses) or that the issues are so complex they need to be argued orally.

 

This is a pilot scheme being tested in various County Courts and pursuant to Practice Direction 51ZC

Andy.

it will all fall inplace and be understood once you get to the WS stage.

 

there are 100's of PCN Claimform witness statements here already

if go read a few, you'll generally see they are mostly alike, with fine tuning on specific issues the fleecers mention in theirs, which need countering.

 

dont worry about the pilot scheme or not, makes little odds.

Hi All,

 

I've received the attached and REALLY don't know how to write my own defence!

 

I've searched the site for defence letters as directed, but I'm just not understanding

a) where to find those letters or

b) how to reply.

 

I also have an obscene amount of personal drama going on in my life right now, and I'm really struggling to cope.

 

I have less than 72 hrs to file the defence letter in response to the attached and give to the other side.

 

I have no problem standing in front of a judge and telling them my side of the story - and showing them the proof that I had a ticket (BP kindly included the photo of my ticket in their argument), I just don't have the smarts to write what I need to write.

 

Please help

 

Thanks

The letter you have received is just hot air from the other side's paper tigers.  It's not from the court.  They are trying to put the wind up you.  Relax, laugh and ignore it.

 

But you would know this already if you'd been reading up and understanding the stages of the court process.  I'm sorry to hear about personal issues but there really is no other way.  Caggers who gen up win in court.  Those who don't, lose.  It really is as simple as that.

 

Please answer dx's questions when you get a moment.

Its the Witness Statement you clobber them with. the generic defence allows time to look at what is wrong with their case in detail and counter it.

Hi - yes, I've received the NOA and have to file my witness statement (apologies, that's what I was calling my defence letter) within the next 48hrs.

 

I've genuinely been trying to read up on what comes next and how I respond etc. but I'm clearly not the best at finding things, hence my desperate plea for help.
