    • If the legendary dx could offer his wisdom it would be greatly appreciated 
    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.
    • Good evening  Case hearing this Friday 26/04. looking to have all my prep/papers ready.    just checking in to get update on my last post , ( the t&c’s attached). No name or address on them as per #49   thank you UCM

    • 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.

Question is why do companies ignore thier employees or even ex-employees ?

 

Still irrelevant to your claim. Their actions are done now, you can't make them change, only they can choose to do so as a result of events.

Focus on your case, trying to work out why they have done what they have done or trying to make them change (other than doing so by beating them in court) is wasted time / effort.

 

Why not start a thread in the Bear Garden where you can rant about how unfair they are, and leave this thread focused on the case........

aye, but commomly these are at the court nearest to the applicant of the set aside if it is going to be decided on the papers. Objecting to a set aside is not that common a thing, it does happen of course, happened to a friend of mine who had a judgement in his favour set aside twice when the defendant failed to turn up of the court dates. The sod then tried to counterclaim for the costs of attending the third hearing but that was dismissed. This is why you need to see the set aside application and if you think their reason for applying is worthy of comment request a hearing. It may be that an order is made that your objection will be in writing only to keep costs down.

All hearings should be in your local court as litigant in person verses a company......most default judgments are usually granted a set a side hearing...then its down to the reason offered for not acknowledging or submitting a defence

Where to make an application

 

CPR23.2

 

(1) The general rule is that an application must be made to the court or County Court hearing centre where the claim was started.

(2) If a claim has been transferred to another court, or transferred or sent to another County Court hearing centre since it was started, an application must be made to the court or the County Court hearing centre to which the claim has been transferred or sent, unless there is good reason to make the application to a different court.

trouble is he won a default judgement so Northampton CCBC would be thei original court

 

Northampton simply transfer any applications to the Litigants County Court...Northampton is only a CCBC..they dont deal with claims apart from default judgments.

paperwork also sometimes gets sent to Wigan for some reason. However, you get the drift, a default ist really heard so you need to poke them.

The default judgement was made at The county court centre in Salford. The older system was much quicker.

I havent seen the papers recieved yet but apparently BBC Cameras were following the enforcement agents when they enforced the Default judgement. Will write up what the application says etc. Also apparently they are following this thread.

So whats cooking today ?

so, now at your local court? This is what it should be for an individual and a corporation regardless of who is defendant. You now have the opportunity to say why the judgement shouldn't be set aside. Stick to the facts and to the law, take your paperwork with you so you have written evidence rather than just oral. This is important when referring to other cases/bits of law etc, no-one will look them up as it is your job to make your case.

 

Basically of your papers were served correctly the fact someone in the company forgot to pass them on or didn't take it seriously enough to file a defence wont win then a set aside but you need to show procedure was followed by having a copy of the CPR's and be able to show that everything was done correctly by you and even after the event you did your best to get the matter sorted before sending in the bailiffs.

 

When did they start following this thread? That itself can show they know about the claim before the bailiffs got involved. You may need to ask the judge to get them to show their hand on this as I'm sure they wont voluntarily admit knowing and ignoring in the hope that you would run out of steam.

 

Then look into the facts of the case, they say they reckon they can get the claim overturned- on what grounds? Obvious one is they dont owe you the money so you need to show your figures and show why they are correct and the reason for suing is sound. May be they say it isn't a breach of contract but another matter that should be dealt with elsewhere so you need to show that correct procedure, lawfulness of claim etc. that mead reference to employment act etc. basically anything you can think of should be taken with you

In their application to set aside they have stated that they were unaware of the judgement. They also claim they had no contact from me and they had no contact from the enforcement agents. However they managed to make a payment to the enforcement officer the day before they arrived to execute the writ. Also they claim that BBC cameras were also following the enforcement agents .

Have they put these in their application? If not : irrelevant.

If so, surely they still don't influence if they have made their application "promptly" ; and isn't that they key point on which you are basing your request that the court deny their application...

 

Don't get distracted by irrelevancies, and try to focus the court's attention on the key point(s) of law.

Good, as if you know what is in their application you have a copy of it to post up ......... so that a rebuttal can be derived (primarily focusing on the promptness [or lack thereof!] of their application......? )

No order as to when reply is due in . Just waiting to get hold of paperwork to do a word by word thing.

 

There will be no Order as there is no official reply.

 

You can submit a witness statement opposing the application if you want.
