    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi all, hopefully this is in the right forum, if not then I'd appreciate if it was moved!

 

Back in July of last year I attended court for a possession hearing on my property that I jointly owned with my now ex wife. A 28 day order was granted, and I was served by post. As my ex didn't appear she had to be served personally. She evaded service so the house has still not been repossessed. It has been vacant since I moved out in July last year. I called up a few weeks ago and used my key to get in. Pipes have burst etc and it's in a bit of a state so when it comes to selling I'd imagine it will have quite a shortfall.

 

The solicitors dealing with the possession have contacted me and said my ex got in touch and has offered to voluntarilly surrender the property. They have since sent me a form to complete and sign for voluntary surrender also.

 

If I moved out because of a possession order being served on me would a voluntary surrender even be valid? I left because of the court order...

 

The form is asking me to sign to accept I'm liable for costs and any shortfall etc. I'm obviously not happy to sign that, but I have my bankruptcy hearing tomorrow so it would probably be included in my bankruptcy anyway.

 

Does anyone have any advice on whether I should sign the voluntary surrender form, or just let them repossess as normal?

 

Thanks..

 

Edit: This is in Northern Ireland, if that makes a difference.

Hi,

 

I'm in a similar position to you. Is your possession order from the Mortgage company or a secured loan?

 

Either way, i wouldn't sign anything. I think it's on the National Debtline website that has info about Mortgage shortfalls and i'm sure it says not to sign anything. If you do I have a funny feeling, they can come after you for the money, whether or not you go bankrupt.

 

I'm sure these banks/loan companies etc are getting wise to people going bankrupt and are trying any way to force people to have to pay them.

 

On the insolvency website, it says about property in bankruptcy, so have a read there too.

 

Speak to the OR, they will know what's best to do.

 

Hope i was of some help!

Hiya Jackie, thanks for taking the time to reply.

 

Mine was for a mortgage. At this stage I'm not signing anything that will leave me liable for more debt, I'm in it deep enough!

 

If anyone else has any knowledge on this I'd be greatful for your advice. If not I'll speak to the OR after my hearing and let you know the score.

 

Thanks..

Well, a possession order doesn't actually require you to leave your property. What it enables the mortgage company/ bank etc to do is apply for a warrant of possession. That means that the Court bailiffs come round, change your locks and remove your possessions. Until your mortgage company have applied for a warrant, you don't actually have to go anywhere.

 

You'll still be liable for any shortfall whether or not you surrender voluntary possession. What it does mean is that, if you voluntary surrender, you won't be charged the costs of applying for a warrant, the bailiffs attending, locksmiths changing your locks etc. These are usually added to the amount you owe.

 

Mortgage companies won't usually pursue you for the shortfall until you've bought another home. They've got 12 years to do it so they usually sit back, do nothing and let the interest increase.

 

If your declared bankrupt they won't be able to pursue you for the shortfall and will have to prove in bankruptcy and hope to get something like all your other creditors.

 

Hope this helps!
