Leaseholders service charges tribunal

Apologies for lack of activity in the leaseholders tribunal bureau website, the administrators computer broke down beyond economical repair, a replacement has been sourced and the site will be updated. 

There will be a text translator available on the site www.ltb.viviti.com alternative full name www.leaseholdandteantbureau.org.uk very soon now. This will allow united kingdom leaseholders tackling the excessive servce charges imposed upon them to have access to the contents of this site. There are literally thousands of leaseholders whose first language is not english. These people face extra difficulty in having not only to understand the English language but also to understand the legal language they must grasp in order to successfully challenge the very dodgy charges they are beeing asked to pay, already in many local authorities across the united kingdom it has clearly been shown that there are mistakes in the accounts of many millions of pounds £s. That is being clawed back from these leaseholders when they should in fact be getting massive refunds, it is therefore

UNREASONABLE TO HAVE TO PAY SERVICE CHARGE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE BASED UPON FIGURES THAT HAVE BEEEN INACCURATELY CALCULATED

Prior to the eventual negotiated outcome of a tribunal case against a north London borough, there was nothing to prevent me from openly discussing the progress of the trial with my neighbours and other affected leaseholderss, all who knew there was to be a tribunal hearing upon a certain date.

However after the events that took place on the day of the hearing, there is now never to be an official verdict for you all to see as a public document.

But enough leaseholders knew right up to the final day of the hearing, that there had been a reduced "final cost" submitted to the tribunal and the leaseholders of 50% less than a previous estimate that still contained errors it was obviously a FLAWED estimate produced by a flawed computer system. Something that is still being questioned by others that have received the same junk garbage figures from the same managing agents. Also the Audit commission report into this Council, DULY NOTED the wrong input of leaseholder major works and annual service charges into a system that was PRONE TO ERROR with unnecessary input that should be linked and automated. instead of operators having to manually input the same data from one system to another, causing too many mistakes.

The affected leaseholders also knew that on the evening before the day of what was to be a final hearing there was an approach from their barrister to our barrister to avoid them attending court. The other affected leaseholders also knew on the evening prior to and also on the morning of the hearing, before it was known there was to be no official public document decision. That the council withdrew their claim to recover their costs, and both sides were going to reach agreement on a figure. The figure agreed was the same figure we told other leaseholders it would eventually be, because there was at this stage only one compromise split down the middle figure that could be reached.

They are replacing the very good computer system (that's what they kept saying) that is not very old, with a new system costing millions to improve things (that didn't need improving according to their letters of response, the ones that did not end up in the trial bundles as evidence)

This particular council and it's managing agents are still unaware for the time being at least, that over the course of the long tribunal case. There were other overcharged leaseholders and their legal representatives, being kept up to date with the ongoing progress of the ever decreasing figures, that they were reluctantly forced to acknowledge were wrong.

There are at least four more separate tribunal applications from others in the same locality with excessive charges being aggressively pursued by the managing agents against the other leaseholders, using the same erroneous "rubbish in rubbish out, computer generated estimates"

That's it i was right about my guess that www.viviti.com would go public and out of beta on the 31st March 2009, Seemed kinda obvious really. That means this web site is now public and will continue to deal with the trials and tribulations of leaseholders in England, challenging highly dubious service charges, and the legal implications, to them.
