    • 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.

im being pulled in as someone has reported me for letting my ex husband stay at my address

 

for a recent period of 7 weeks i let my ex husband stay with me while i was in hospital and the few weeks i was getting better. i will admit to this as i had no choice he had to stay in my home as i have children with him that need looking after. but what im worried about is that they think im living with him in a relationship which is soo untrue and when hes stayed here he has bunked up in my childrens room and theres no eotional or pysical relationship its purley for help with the children as one of the children is disabled and needs help that i cannot manage with. over the years he has shared homes with friends he no longer has contant with or sleeping with parents / sleeping rought and a 6 month flat tenancy i cannot prove he hasnt been with me will thay asumme he has lived with me all the years? i dont know what to do

Hello there. I don't know how much money is involved, but prison is not common for benefit fraud.

 

If you have time, please read around the forum. This crops up all the time and if you read how other people have had the same problem and come through it, you should feel better and have some idea how to deal with this. In some cases, telling the truth is all it takes.

 

My best, HB

Welcome to the site.

From what you say you have some very good mitigating circumstances.

They will undoubtedly be looking at the information they have been given,and are likely to go into this with a fairly good idea.

Just be open and co-operate.

There is a big difference between those who deliberately commit benefit fraud and those who have broken some rules because their circumstances were a factor.

You should not lose sleep or worry about the possibility of Prison-this is something that is only given in extreme cases or repeat offenders where there are large amounts involved.

You do not appear to come over as someone who was out to deliberately defraud.

The fact that you came here to ask for advice demonstrates that you have concerns.

No one can say exactly that penalties will be imposed,but that answering questions honestly,and being able to satisfy them of what you tell here,it will certainly help with any action they may feel is needed.

If you can prove he doesn't live with you then that will help alot. If he can get statements from the people he has stayed with and a copy of the tenancy agreement he had then that's enough to prove he wasn't living with you at those times. Also if he writes a statement confirming he isn't living with you and giving the addresses of the places he was staying will help x
