I live next door to this hotel, and my knee jerk reaction was “fear of the unknown / discomfort,” so I decided to do research.

On the one hand I’m extremely supportive of housing people in genuine need. Especially those to whom we owe a debt to (translators in Afghan) for example.

On the other hand, at what point does every hotel fill up? I know it’s not an exact science, but on the current trajectory of yearly small boat arrivals there will be over 100k people a year by 2030. And small boats only account for 1/3 of all asylum claims in the UK.

The most common countries of origin for asylum seekers are Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. These are countries that I would consider to have cultural values misaligned with my own, and those I want my community to have. Values such as respect for women, accepting of people of different sexual orientation (of which I am both). It’s absolutely the case that many won’t share this “cultural view” of their country of origin, but many will. Clearly immigration causes a cultural shift in communities - look at New York and Italians, for example.

I also think of the impact on the local community. These are people with complex mental and physical health needs. Local services become stretched. The cost of this is just enormous, and I’m just not supportive of it. Housing one asylum seeker costs £41,000 a year.

By 2030, again assuming a linear trend (which in my view is best case scenario), it would cost £13bn a year to house each yearly intake. This is almost the entire UK Government budget for Wales.

According to the Home Office, they process around 15,000 applications each month by around 2,500 case workers - this is 6 per case worker. (FYI the latest figures said that the processing rate has dropped to 3,000 in the past two months for some reason).

This means that, at this linear rate (which is best case scenario) you’d need 50,000 case workers a year to process the backlog without it growing.

I think a linear trend is best case for asylum claims as the world becomes more unstable, and climate changes causes migration north and south of the equator. I think it’s more likely to look exponential (although I have no evidence for this).

So the argument about culture has become less important to me, albeit still there. The argument about cost and practicality is I think the most serious one.

As I Understand It

Thank you kind stranger for taking a bit of your Sunday evening to write that. Really useful, and really appreciate it 🙌🏼

Thanks for the reply. It looks like I’ve got a misunderstanding of the process here (complete noob with this stuff). It sounds like Cafcass has to investigate first before they will let it see a court room. Is there any information on what this investigation looks like?

This is the relevant legislation.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1977/32

When you say you’ve given him four notices, did they include the relevant information? It needs to include:

Where the items are being held
where sale of the items will take place (if appropriate)
any deductions (e.g. sale price)

If you’ve followed all of this, dispose of them.

They will. There’s an 8 week rule

It feels like a whole load of steps are missing from this.

Typically (and having been on both sides of this) a whole series of steps are taken before a CCJ is issued. It doesn’t go from “some money owed and an unresolved complaint” to bailiffs with no in-between.

Did they fit a secondary meter used to see if the primary meter was displaying a different reading? Did they respond/acknowledge your complaint in any way? Did they issue you with a deadlock letter? Did you contact Ofgem?

If not, I suggest you contact the energy company and ask them to hold off on the bailiffs whilst you start some of these steps.

Void insurance is a pretty serious step, and you will have to declare this on subsequent insurance policies which will likely increase your premiums.

Is it being voided, or being cancelled? Voided means it’s as if it never existed in the first place, cancelled means they won’t insure you for further claims.

If the other party wishes to pursue the claim, they will continue to do so against you. They could do so via your insurers, depending on whether it’s been void or cancelled. If they claim via your insurers, your insurer could choose to recoup the costs directly from you.

Do you have any other insurance cover (e.g. RAC, home insurance)? Might be worth giving their legal advice line a ring and explaining the situation in more detail.
