    • 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)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all

    • 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.

From your post on EBM's thread -

 

Hi mummybird Yes I think thats sensible you have nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain. I also have just read that post of GARYH and now I am worried because my claim was started on MCOL and when Barclays put in their defence, they used the carbon copy wording, including the part about quote" point 1 the Particulars of Claim do not provide details or particulars of the account in question, or the precise charges alleged to have been unlawful or the date thereof bla bla "

 

well of course I had already supplied them with all these particulars and details and the precise charges, but does this now mean that because they were not all listed on the MCOL claim I have a problem? Bear in mind that I immediately wrote a letter answering every single one of the points shown in the defence. but will a letter be adequat:confused: :confused:

I think you're worrying about this unnecessarily but will go back and check your thread.

Okay thanks slick, I hope you are right , the prospect of having to add that to my list of paperwork is a bit daunting, and I don't know if it would be too late now anyway, hope they don't pick on that.

Olden,

 

The problem with ebm's case centres on whether she comlied with directions to send in POC when told. Of course, she did.

 

In YOUR case, I can't see that you've failed to do anything which you were told to. However, because the start of your thread lists everything in one go, it may be there's more detail.

 

Lots of letters to here and there are listed but the important thing is:-

 

1. When case was xferred to CCourt, what directions were given. Did they say you had to file SOC or POC for example. If so, did you comply.

 

Check this and come back if you're unsure.

First of all ,there is a lot more detail to be honest I haven't listed everything there, for instance I do not say that I sent off the letter responsing to the arguments in the defence,

 

Second, the case tranfd from Northampton to Newport the filing of Allocation Questionaire dispensed with. ' Newport Notice of transf 'to the Cardiff CC referred to a procedural judge who will allocate the claim to track and give case management directions details of the judges decision will be sent to you.in a notice of allocatoin. 'General Form of Judgment' Before Judge H..Upon neither party attending..it is ordered that... Directions will be given in this case by the designated civil judge His Honour Judge G Hickinbottom on the 14th August.......

The parties may appear in person or make written representations as to how the case should proceed provided a copy of the representations is sent to the court and the other side at least 7 working days prior to the hearing.

 

I have never been asked to submit anything yet? As you know I received court form staying this case on 10th August. ?

Olden,

 

Hope you didn't wait up for me to reply! LoL

 

Had another look through and I can't see that any review of your case occured when it came to CCC. Directions were due to be given at the hearing on 13th Aug which was vacated pending OFT case.

 

In other words, I can't see that you were told to do anything by the court. When your case IS reviewed either at, or before, a hearing, you will be told if your SOC, POC's (for example) need resubmitting.

 

I see you have sent a lot of letters that may not have been necessary (eg replying item for item to banks defence). Stick just to what is required so you don't complicate your case or cause yourself more work and stress.

 

If you need further info, just post here.

You should start charging childminding fees - that way, you won't need to worry about winning your bank claim anymore. You'll be quids-in!! Lol

Andrea, Hi there Well I don't know if you followed the MSE step by step guide to reclaiming, if so I would do what it says and keep strictly to YOUR timetable, I followed that procedure to the letter at the start, but I don't have any info on the procedure on this site I expect it the same. I have found so many really helpful people on this site it is brilliant, and it is working non stop to get justice from the banks, FSA and OFT. This site is excellent

Hi slick Well as good as that sounds, we could never bring ourselves to take money from our children, I know daft isn't it, they have no problem taking from us! but they have huge mortgages to pay and it's hard enough bringing up children these days. we have to help out when we can, they have all moved back within ten minutes of us, so theres no getting out of it.!

Olden,

 

I've seen the reply from ML - well done you for trying.

 

Still can't send you a PM - did you print out and follow the instuctions in my post #41 above.

 

Did you press SAVE CHANGES before leaving the CP pages.

 

Beyond that, I'm out of ideas (anyone got a hammer and screwdriver!).

 

All the best, Slick
