Hi all got a bit of a problem at my local cricket club, i am chairman and our access to the club house has been banned ie locks changed by the sports and social club, mainly football club members, who feel that because we have had a bad season, weather, we have not contributed to the finance of the club house. we have passed all our income to the sports and social club for the season 2012. we have been playing at the ground since 1946, the same amount of time as the football club. The sports and socail club was set up 6 yrs ago by both cricket and football clubs. all the members of the SSC represent football. what im asking is what could anybody do if we replaced the locks again but gave them a key to gain access to the club house, would this be a police matter or civil matter. where do we stand. thanks for any advice or if you have questions please ask me .

i posted some messages yesterday about a company called VP parking being suspended from dvla after i sent a couple of emails to the bpa and dvla,i see that i had a couple of replies but when i went to reply to them i cant find the original message so i will reply here. the original email i sent was not to steve hopkins but to mike bulter,hugh evans,david dunford and elizabeth symons who never repled but i think the email was forwarded to steve hopkins who responded but he copied everyone in, here is my original message and the repy.

Unfortunately our system settings mean that we cannot open any links to flickr so I am not able to view the sign. Is there any other way you could attach / forward the photo of the sign? I would be most grateful if you could send it in a different format, so we can consider and action accordingly. Many thanks, Steve Steve Hopkins Data Sharing Team Operational Support & Development Directorate | C1/East | DVLA | Swansea | SA6 7JL GTN 1213 Ext. 8810 (01792) 78 8810 From: xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 15 September 2012 14:55 To: Mike Butler Cc: Hugh Evans; David Dunford; Elizabeth M Symons Subject: Sign stating keeper is liable @urgent@ All, Please see below an example of a sign and letter in operation by VP Parking, this company has access to data from DVLA and as you can see its signs clearly state that "the registered keeper will be charged for trespass or breach of contract" and that the they are "authorised to charge the registered keeper" had to remove link This goes against your email sent to the BpA in June 2012 that stated any company who states the keeper is liable will be suspended from accessing DVLA data for a minimum of 3months and could be longer as they may have to make new signage. I would also add that even after October 2012 this sign is still incorrect as the keeper is never the person who can be charged as this is still ever the driver and all that schedule 4 does is make the keeper liable if they refuse to name the driver it does not make them liable for the charge at the outset I expect confirmation that this company has been suspended from accessing DVLA data by return as your own emails state they will be immediately suspended and also the length of the suspension Thank you in advance This email was received from the INTERNET and scanned by the Government Secure Intranet anti-virus service supplied by Cable&Wireless Worldwide in partnership with MessageLabs.

The suspension was put in place on 17th September. Please note that the Data Sharing Team is not able to reply to every notification received from the public.

The land registry have refused to register a part of my farm access road which runs between two other properties. On my deeds it is a part of a field and the written part includes it as our property. On the map it is left uncoloured. I've queried this with a solicitor whose father drew up the deeds and he states that it was his job as a small boy to ink in the areas on the map. It would seem therefore that it is a mistake. When the deeds were drawn there was only one property besides ours in existence. As per LR's policy only the property area is designated and not any roads by them. In the LR's literature it states that where a road is unmade (this road has always been stoned by the farm ans so is technically made up although not tarmacked) the properties abutting it own the road to the middle. Well there are actually three properties abutting and this is not covered in the LR literature. In my opinion as the farm has had unfettered use of this area for a minimum of 75 years and have always maintained it, it can be argued from that standpoint that it belongs to the farm. In fact the road was actually dug out by the farm. The other point is this area is designated as grazing land of our sheep and is shown as so on DEFRA maps. I know this sounds complicated but it has now arisen (after 26 years of our occupancy) because one of the neighbouring properties is objecting to our stopping on that area (essential for us as it is the only access to our residence) and is accusing us (with police support) of harassment because we stop there!. Is there anyone out there who can advise, please?

Can someone please help me with this. I've contacted RBS Credit cards in an attempt to obtain my old card number, with a view to reclaiming PPI premiums. The bank have written back to me to say unless I can provide my account or card number they are unable to trace my details. I checked the template library and found the SAR request template and would like to know if this format is still appropriate for use. I know there would have been plenty of the unfair charges on this but don't know if you can still claim for these so would any part of the letter need to be edited to suit? Any advice greatly appreciated

Hi, I have a question which has been bugging me for a few weeks now and I hope someone can help...... My son is in the Royal Navy and lives on base in Devonport. He has started seeing a girl from his home town and goes up there most weekends to see her. He stays there usually Friday and Saturday nights. She is a single parent and in receipt of benefits. However he in no way contributes to her household. Unfortunately, someone decided to inform the Housing Benefits that she had a partner living with her (untrue) and she was called in for an Interview under Caution. She had a solicitor, who apparently told her they were just fishing, but someone who knew them well must have informed them as they new a lot of details regarding my son. What I don't understand is, the Officers at the Housing office had copies of my SON's Bank Statements??? And were asking questions such as ......James spent £20 at KFC on such a date, did you go with him? etc... I totally agree that any type of fraud is wrong. What I can't get my head around is, of course I would expect them to have her bank statements etc as she is the one under investigation. But how did they get my son's statements? They are not linked in any way. To be honest I'm a bit suspicious with regards to my son's girlfriend, but then I suppose you could put that down to being a Mom. Any help, or answers would be more than welcome.

Hello, looking for a little advice here.... we are currently on a 1 year fixed tenancy agreement and 2 months prior to the end of the contract the landlord confirmed via his estate agents (who deals with it on his behalf) that he wishes to sell the property and not re-new. Annoying for us but he gave us the right notice etc and so as per our agreement have allowed viewings over the past month (this has not been hassle free as he listed the property with 2 estate agents and we have been inundated with calls / viewings etc to which we have been more than reasonable). The issue is now that he has sold the property and now it seems they want builder to come round and survey's done etc.... we still have a month left on the lease and frankly we want to be left in peace. Today I got a call from the estate agent saying he was with a builder and couldn't get into the property - I advised that no one had even asked us to allow this visit and he said something about leaving a voicemail (this was the 'usual story' when people turned up for viewing unannounced)...luckily we clued onto this and can lock the door from the inside and leave through the back (they don't have a key for this door) so no one can gain entry when we are not there. We have therefore said no more access until we move out which the estate agents are not happy about. We even offered the landlord to break contract to allow us to leave early but he refused. Where do we stand on our rights here? our contract only permits us to allow viewing to potential buyers and we feel we have been more than reasonable with this and do not want to be bombarded for the next month. Any advice would be gratefully received.

I am a landlord of one residential property. This is my first post and concerns my right of access to the property for the purposes of inspection and to discuss other issues with tenant. I have read the sticky regarding Landlord access and this really does not help as it primarily concentrates on the rights of the tenant. My situation is that I live a considerable distance from the property and have employed a management agent. The agents are basically incompetent and my relationship with them is deteriorating sharply. They receive rent payments and don’t forward them to me. I do not believe this is a dishonesty issue rather it is general incompetence. They managed to visit and inspect the property -once after I had nagged them to do so – which went OK but I never received a report it seems I pay them a fee and they do nothing. Is there a professional association that I can complain to? The tenant does not reply to mail and does not answer the door. I have read the advice that repeated access to the property by the landlord is unacceptable and should not happen. I am not trying to do this, far from it. I have informed the tenant of my intention to visit and given them more than a months’ notice - I have received no reply. The agent has also supposedly written to the tenant and I have heard nothing back. I have mailed a final letter stating the day and time that I will visit and asking if this is convenient - stating that if I receive no reply I will assume that it is OK. Having travelled half way across the country and then to find that there is no answer from the tenant - do I have a right to enter the property? I have tried to do everything reasonable in the matter. The tenant is generally OK but there are some arrears issues and maintenance issues that need sorting. As I see that most of the posts are with regard to the unacceptable behaviour of landlords I have tried to be as patient as possible but this seems to be getting me know where. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all, I have some ongoing maintenance issues with my property that still have not been resolved. Therefore i am slightly unwilling to be overly accommodating to my letting agents as there are two points in my contract which they have breached. I have recently given 2 months notice and instantly am being bombarded with requests to for new tenant viewings, often with little notice. I have a heavily pregnant girlfriend at home, who obviously needs rest at random times of the day. Given that many many lettings only require a single months notice, i have said i feel it is reasonable to allow new tenant viewings for the whole of the final month of my tenancy, but not two months. My agent says viewings will go ahead because new tenants in the area require an 6-8week lead in period. I am not denying access as i am happy to grant access at suitable times in what i consider a reasonable time during the last 4 weeks of my tenancy, but that i feel it intrusive for this to happen constantly for 8 weeks. I was wondering what people think of this, as many threads on here are cut and shut access or no access. I am happy to grant access, but not yet. Am i right in thinking i am being reasonable?

Can a bank refuse to give broker and packaging information in a subject access reguest? Would this not be necessary to prove if mortgage was mis-sold

Hi there, I need to get all the information 2 companies have on file about me and my Ltd company. The first needs to goto the insurance broker / intermediary - One Business Insurance Services and the 2nd needs to goto the actual insurance company - Tradex. I am concerned about information requested by the broker which I submitted and how it was used. Also, I am not happy that despite numerous requests, I did not receive a document with my no claims entitlement. I have had template that I got off this site for requesting information from the banks (thanks cerberusalert but for insurance, I need something equally good to get as much information they hold as possible Regards, Greg
