    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step? It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.
    • you'll never find a court open on a w/end MB. all courts are closed Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday. However as Andy points out, that does NOT mean you get 2 extra days to file, you get one, same as xmas/new Year. UKPC have not filed their, so no rush on yours as dave says.

    • 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.

the court just allows the council the right to do an attachment of earnings

 

it will be the council who will do the aoe

 

dont quote me but i believe the costs are about 80 quid

 

you dont normally have to go to court as these things are just rubber stamped, the summons is just a formality unless its a commital for prison

 

you can go to the court and defend yourself if you wish

 

explain to the magistrate your circumstance, they are human to

 

but thats not done these days

At the court the magistrate will grant the Liability Order inabsentia - of a court run of say a 1000 cases we would probably get 30 attending court.

 

You can go in front of the magistrate but the magistrate is only able to rule on whether you are the person who is liable for the council tax and that you have been summonsed correctly. At this stage the council cannot order the council to accept any particular payment arrangement or method.

 

Once the Liability Order is granted then the council are given the power to issue an attachment or earnings/benefit or issue the account to a bailiff. The issuing of the L/O gives the council the power to issue take these actions without any further application to the court.

 

The costs to the council are covered in the costs charged to issue the L/O - they can't extra fees for issuing an attachment order.

thanks for the above when i go to the court will it be decided then and there what action is taken or do they decide at a later date I'm just a bit concerned if i don't go i will be a bit out of the loop if you know what i mean(not that it looks like Ive got any control over what happens any way)I'm going to send of my income/expenditure sheet and offer of payments

how will what i put down on these affect the out come.which method they choose to collect the money the wife's scared there going to send the bailiffs round is the attachment of earnings the most likely as I'm in employment or if i show i can pay in a reasonable time are thy likely to let me do that

fu***k em all now i feel better
