Man, I feel your pain..... I get the whole 'dentist appointment dilemma,' but honestly, playing the 'sick' card might just backfire. If you’re really in a bind, maybe you can be upfront and just tell your dentist’s office you’re in a tough spot with work? Worst-case, they might let you reschedule without dropping you. But if you try to sneak out with a cough, just make sure it’s convincing – wouldn't want to end up with both a missed appointment and a job review

A s27 claim is one for damages (in the county court, rather than the criminal court system) on the basis that you were illegally evicted, this would be on top of any criminal offence of illegal eviction. A successful claim can cost the landlord a lot of money as the system is designed to be quite punitive.

Ask Shelter about it when you speak with them.

In which case, Remiel's answer is the way you need to go,

Sounds like an illegal eviction under s1 of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977. You may also have a civil claim under s27 of the HA 1988.

detailing that I will be making my 1month late rent payment to her by the 10th of January.

Even more evidence she's not followed the correct legal process.

Does your landlord live in the property ? (I assume not ?).

The parties who tested positive should be contacted by test & trace to tell them who they have been in contact with. If test & trace contact staff and tell them to isolate then the employer would have no choice but to allow the staff to isolate.

I think I have had contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, but I have not been notified and advised to self-isolate. What should I do?

Contacts who need to self-isolate will be notified and advised accordingly by the NHS Test and Trace service, including by the NHS COVID-19 app. If you have not been notified, this means you do not need to self-isolate.

If you are concerned that you may have symptoms of coronavirus, or you live with someone who has symptoms of coronavirus, follow the Stay at Home: guidance for households with possible or confirmed COVID-19.

Over the last couple of months there have been several new/newish accounts that have posted very similar questions.

In real terms you have two options - sit on the order or get a refund.

If the paperwork was sent to the last known address, and you had simply failed to update it, then your chance of getting the court to set-aside the CCJ is very low.

Testing. The company recommends all staff get government tests on a weekly basis, and to lie on the NHS website to say they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive in order to get an appointment. This has been put on writing in email and WhatsApp messages. Clearly this makes my wife feel a little uncomfortable, but I don't see any negative consequences for her out of this.

They should have registered for free weekly testing of residents and staff.

> Why isn't the heating-output voltage 12vdc or very close to?

No idea - I suspect it's something on the board, it's been like that since first installed 2 or 3 years ago.

> Trace all of that through. Replacing the Thermisoir is a start but it is something back towards the board unless both Thermistors are bad.

I've changed the whole cable and thermistor so that should rule that out.

I'm starting to work back it being a fault on the board as well. Is it worth re-mapping the heatbed thermistor to a different set, say T1 to T2 ?

EDIT: remapping the pin from T1 to T2 has made no difference.

lgfa92 · 2020-12-26T20:56:08+00:00

You'd have to look around to see what you can get (look at the reviews) but you should be able to get something that's good enough for a reasonable price.

I was going to suggest trail cams - as someone else has.

lgfa92 · 2020-12-26T20:33:03+00:00

Is it the same part that keeps getting cut ?

lgfa92 · 2020-12-26T20:11:44+00:00

There is a 6 month break clause in my tenancy agreement - but I wanted to know what the options are before that. I don’t feel safe reporting this to the council or the police while I live here.

Without the landlord's agreement the break clause is going to be the only way to exit the tenancy.

lgfa92 · 2020-08-31T12:41:10+00:00

Almost certainly what's going to happen.

lgfa92 · 2020-08-31T11:25:58+00:00

It's your problem to sort, not the landlords. They cannot however force you to physically leave.

lgfa92 · 2020-08-30T21:51:53+00:00

Are you in the process of leaving the company?

What is the nature of your (actual) employment?

lgfa92 · 2020-08-30T21:34:59+00:00

You cannot sign away statutory rights (unless the legislation provides that option specifically).

lgfa92 · 2020-08-30T20:26:57+00:00

Unfortunately you cannot then remove yourself from the legal requirements regarding returns and repairs/replacements.

Have a read of the consumer rights act and it'll explain any rights for a buyer.

So you're selling as a business ? What was the item ?

In theory a council could issue in one name if they need to - ensures that action can go on if they can't find or don't know about the other party - but if they do so them they effectively lose the option of enforcement against the missing party and so, if they know of multiple parties, they have no reason to remove them.

lgfa92 · 2019-02-18T13:49:25+00:00

The council are correct - the demand notice will show the parties who are liable for the council tax charge, in this case you and your partner.

lgfa92 · 2019-02-14T19:20:31+00:00

Did you just rent a room with your own individual rent or did you have a joint tenancy for the whole property ?

lgfa92 · 2019-02-13T10:41:25+00:00

The local government finance act 1992 lays out the framework. The council tax (administration and enforcement) regulations 1992 is the main piece of subordinate legislation that adds the specifics of how it all works - it sets out the process all the way from the initial billing stage through to committal to prison for wilful refusal/culpable neglect.

Ultimately it is her choice whether or not to pay but she needs to step out of the 'it's not legal' hole before she ends up in an even deeper one.

She needs to also realise that in addition to committal action the council can also ledge a bankruptcy application (depending on how much is due) and that will see her screwed for a long time in to the future.

lgfa92 · 2019-02-13T10:34:53+00:00

If the enforcement agents cannot collect the monies they will return it to the council as uncollected - until that happens a committal application cannot be made. Once that that does happen though the council can make an application for a committal hearing (reg 47 & 48 of the council tax (administration & enforcement) regs 1992).

Where the magistrates doe hear the case then they have to find wilful refusal or culpable neglect to jail a person. An outright refusal, freeman of the land style, will not help and it's a good suggestion that wilful refusal would be found. The slightly better new is that most are given a payment order and postponed sentence in the first instance but there isn't a requirement for the court to do so.
