    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  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 simply contracted by the landowner 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.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • Ooops - one to many also s..... my draft reply should read as:  Thank you for your response Mr Schnur  I set out my position quite clearly in my letter of claim and nothing has changed. Your insurance requirement is unlawful and is contrary to section 57 of the Consumer Rights Act, and also section 72 of the same statute. I would also refer you to the outcomes in PENCHEV v P2G (225MC852) and SMIRNOVS v P2G (27MC729).  My deadline for action - 1 May 2024 - still stands, and if P2G wish to avoid the addition of court costs and interest to my claim, you may wish to respond positively before that date.

    • 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.

no you are missing the point in your 1st sentence...

 

 

it is because you didn't contact scott & co or the council that you had left work

and thus the arrestment of wages would fail & thus needed to setup a DD

that this had happened

 

 

there is NO REQUIREMENT for any letters to be sent to warn you this was going to happen

you already agreed to the order and the pitfalls of failing to keep to it when you agreed the arrestment.

 

 

almost £4k of CTAX debt is reqlly high

how many years did the arrestment cover?

and when did you agree to it

or to put it simpler, when did the first wages arrestment take place?

 

 

it appears that they have simply added this years CTAX onto the same existing order..did you agree to this?

 

 

you need to try and pull some sympathy strings here directly with the council and their 'unfavourable' behaviour in not p'haps reminding you to pay when you quit work.

Yeah, I get where youre coming from.

 

 

Tbh I cant remember when my wages were arrested,

more than likely for a couple of years before I stopped work.

 

 

I didnt agree to anything, which is no doubt why arrestment took place.

It totally slipped my mind to contact them after I gave up work,

prob due to being more concerned about my health but this, I know, is no excuse.

 

 

I have no idea how long debt goes back and is for,

it was taken out my wages so was not concerned about it as they were getting their monthly amount.

 

 

I just completely forgot about it the past 2 months and now I am paying for that I suppose.

not saying contact them

but worthy of a read:

http://scotland.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/advice_topics/paying_for_a_home/paying_council_tax/council_tax_arrears

 

 

so you need to ask how many warrants have been issued and when and for what value

as I've said £4k is one hell of a debt, probably over several years.

 

 

they should be able [the council] to tell you these things and HELP you resolve the issue

you MUST play heavily on the fact that they know your health issues very well

and placed you in these houses

I am including a copy of the minutes of a meeting of the Scottish Social Security Symposium. http://www.govanlc.com/ssc_cpag

 

 

 

The fourth point made on bank Arrestment made by Mike Dailly

where he suggests that your best option may be to challenge the action of the Council for wrongful diligence owing to trying to arrest an account almost only consisting of either state benefits or pension payment.

 

It would be helpful if you explained why you have so much in your account at the moment while being in arrears with your Council tax.

 

 

You could also claim financial hardship because so much of your money has been earmarked for your funeral.

 

 

Although they could argue that you could pay a monthly fee towards funeral costs thus releasing some of your pension pot.

I know someone who works at CAB she says that Scott and co have been failing to send information about DAS with letters to people and could be breaking the law.

 

Sorry to hear of the problems you are having

 

I know that there are funeral plans you can pay up, we did this for my granny and it cost just ten pounds a month
