    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Any overpayment by the DWP due to official error is nor recoverable under social security law - as long as they have all the correct info, if they make an error they can ask for the money back - but you don't have to pay it.

 

Please someone correct me if this has changed recently?

what does the entry say on the bank statement, does it give a national insurance number.?

Have you been on Pension Credit long?

Where you in receipt of IB or your partner?

It has my NI number and states it is from DWP. Have had PC for 2 years and spouse was on ESA up to end of April 2012. ESA stopped and PC increased for cover both of us. We just do not feel right about having a benefit that we may not be entitled to have when every one else is struggling.

Thursday is a weird payday too. And if its got your NINO on to then its definately something that belongs to you.

They have your bank details..

I would just hold on to it, if its been paid incorrectly and they try to recover it then, no, its an official error.

so no OP

The amount I would say is two weeks couple rate of some benefit maybe...

We have never applied for Income support and no to NINO. DWP checked and it is not an IS payment. It has us flummoxed and we feel as if we are hitting our heads against a brick wall. We have even asked them to stop the payment until it is investigated but the payment keeps coming!

Never heard of it and obviously neither have the DWP and why we would we be getting it if we had never applied? On checking payments into our account since starting this thread, when the ESA my wife received was stopped at end of April, my Pension Credit increased to £212 exactly the same amount as the DWP ISCS amount currently being paid as they never took into account that she was entitled to carer's allowance but not in payment. It seems strange that the two amounts should be exactly the same. My PC has since increased to £238 from £212 after adviing them about the carer's allowance.

If you are worried about it and think you arent entitled to it, ask the DWP to remove it from your claim or payments and start a full investigation.

I have done this several times on the phone and twice in writing but they insist I am entitled to it. I have not had any paper work from any one advising of the benefit payment. I am inclined to agree with others that it is an official mistake that for some reason they do not want to rectify. I have exhausted all avenues to get it rectified.

Well, teh best thing to do now, is to let them pay you, but keep the money in your bank. Write an official complaint stating that you have contacted them multiple times, and you have been advised you are fully entitled to it. However, you have no knowledge of what benefit it is actually for. Demand that they tell you exactly what benefit the payments are for, and if they cant, to start a investigation.

 

Address it as high up as you can, and since you will be heading it, official complaint, they will be forced to look into it for you.

Yes, and Pension Credit uses the Income Support Computer System to process claims and payments. Seen it on numerous SARs.

 

If it's an official error then it is not recoverable. Some DWP payments are recoverable as a result of official error but Pension Credit and Income Support are not. If it shows ISCS then it will always be IS or PC

How can you be if you receive PC / ESA? You can't (as you probably know) receive both.

 

It is only income related ESA that you can't get with PC, I am in the ESA Support group (wich is contribution based), and our PC is reduced £ for £, I am also have an underlying entitlement to carers allowance for my wife so we actually get the same money as the OP, exept we don't get the £212. As correctly identified by others on your bank statment each payment has a code, and from DWP they include ones NINo and a code for the kind of benefit followed by a load of numbers.

 

Pension Credit = PC

State pension = SP

DLA = DLA

ESA = EESA

 

All I can suggest is to put the £212 in a high interest account and leave it alone unttill someone can say for certain what it is.

Really confused as at no time did we complete any forms verbally or in writing claiming IS. Strange that DWP does not know code and continues to pay the £212. Not even sure how they would come up with that figure.

As mentioned before, keep the money safe, and write a formal complaint to the DWP, and state everything that has happened. Remember, if it is their mistake, then you will be allowed to keep it. However that is up to you, as they will ask for it back, but they cant pursue you if you say no.

If you haven't claimed IS then it must be Pension Credit that is processing the payment; IS and PC are the only claims that can be put onto the ISCS. That doesn't tell you what benefit it is because sometimes if more than one benefit is in payment, it is one department that will deal with the payment for both.

 

For example when IB was active, a person could have IB with an IS top up. Sometimes both the payment for IB and IS was paid by IS so it came from ISCS (the income support computer system) but each department still held control over each claim.
