    • 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.

I would really appreciate it!

 

I received a claim form with reference to an old catalogue debt

(last payment around 4-5 years ago).

 

I read that I should be sending the claimant a CPR?

Do I do this right away using the template on this forum?

Should I be sending anything else off?

 

 

I'm so confused and not very good at this legal stuff :(

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi again.

 

I received a letter from BW Legal dated 8th June confirming they had received my request for documention (CCA).

It says that they seek to ensure the information is provided within 12 working days which is almost up.

What do I do if those 12 days are up and they haven't sent me anything?

 

I'm also abit confused about the 'Day 33' thing. Day 33 from when?

 

On the back of the claim form it says I need to send my defence no later than 28 days from the date of service.

 

Is the date of service the issue date on the claim form?

 

I did try finding the info I needed through other threads but I'm just completely lost and don't even know what I'm looking for :(

 

Help appreciated again, thank you

Silly question, but WHAT is your defense?

 

The debt was incurred after April 2007 so they only have to prove you had the goods. You owe the money and I see no realistic chance of you winning. Why don't you try to set up a payment plan before you receive the CCJ!

Hi, I'm sorry, I've only just read the last couple of replies. I was waiting for day 33 which I had worked out to be today :/

 

I'm confused about Havinastella's comment.

 

I was just doing what I thought I had to do after reading previous threads.

 

I am not in the position to pay this debt off and I was hoping I could somehow find a way not to. I admit it!

 

They haven't provided me with the CCA and I've heard nothing since their last communication mentioned above.

 

I came here today to ask how to go about the defence, but now I'm wondering whether this is what I should be doing after all :(

 

What would happen if I did receive a county court judgement?

 

Sorry if I'm sounding a bit thick now, but I really am confused about what to do next!

I'm really sorry, I just didn't realise there were more replies after I had thanked Ford for that reply. I obviously miscalculated. I had made a note of Day 33 being 30th June and so came back to this thread on 30th June to ask advice on the next step. I'm not deliberately trying to be stupid honest! I made a mistake and didn't come back because I didn't want to take up more of anyone's time than I needed to.

 

I assume its too late to submit the defence now then even if it was the next step, although I'm still not sure because of what Havinastella has said. If anyone still wants to help, I would really appreciate it.

 

thanks

Its not really ideal to log into CAG on the day your defence is due (even if 4 days late)...defences take time and research by yourself to see how others have dealt with their claims.

 

The only advice I can offer is for you to try to log into MCOL and see if it will allow a defence to be submitted or call Northampton and see if they can accept an electronic submission by email.

Hi again. I have logged into MCOL and it has allowed me right through to where I am supposed to put my defence. I have searched the Legal Successes forum and found that some one submitted the following text. Can I just paste this into the defence box or is there something more I need on it? Is there anything I need to add to make it more 'personal to me'?

 

Thank you, I feel so stupid for leaving it this late, I honestly have followed the advice given to the letter, I just got the dates wrong and didn't realise that by 'wait til day 33' actually meant 'come back first for more advice just before day 33'. I am grateful for all the advice given so far and I know this is my fault. Please, please help me get this done today?

 

Particulars of claim

 

1.The claimants claim is for the sum of £4099.36 being monies due from the defendant to the claimant under financial services agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 between the defendant and Shop Direct Financial Services Limited under account reference XXXXXXXXX

 

2.And assigned to the claimant on 24/05/2012 notice of which has been given to the defendant.

 

3.The defendant failed to maintain the contractual payment under the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

 

 

The claim also includes statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the county courts act 1984

at a rate of 8.00% per annum (a daily rate of 0.78 from the date of assignment of the agreement to 24/05/2013 being an amount of £285.48.

 

Proposed Defence

 

The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. 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 not admitted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of agreement/contract/breach as requested by a Section 78 request.

 

2. Paragraph 2 is denied and the Claimant is put to the strictest of proof on the same. The Defendant contends that no notice pursuant to s.136 & 196 has been served upon him by the Claimant as alleged or at all.

 

3.

 

Therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement/contract; and

(b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and

© show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim.

 

4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

5. On the alternative, if the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974.

 

6. On the 2nd June 2015 I made a legal request by way of a section 78 request to the Claimant. The Claimant has failed to comply and therefore is in default of this request and as such unable to request any relief until compliance.

 

7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

Thanks, so do I need to 'choose' a b or c on paragraph 3? I'm not sure I understand. I suppose I am now submitting my defence because they haven't sent the document I requested, so would that 'a'?

 

I'm not normally this thick, honest.
