    • 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.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

Hi folks, I wonder if you could help me with this. I received the Northampton county court claim form yesterday. Its Arrow Global using Drydens as solicitors. I havent had any communication with them at all and think that my last payment on this loan was at longest - July 2005 but definitely not any later than September 2005. So it looks like very soon it may be statute barred.

 

Could you help me with what to do next - I assume I reply to the court asking for the full 28days and then request the info from the claimant, hoping that they either have none, or it drags out past the statute.

 

Should I ask that its transferred to my local county court?

 

Could somebody take me through it step by step and point me towards the appropriate templates please?

 

Many thanks,

Thank you DonkeyB. The particulars read... The claimants claim is for the sum ____________ being monies due from the defendant to the claimant under a regulated agreement between the defendant and FV-1 inc

(No ______________________) and assigned t the claimant on ____________, notice of which has been provided to the defendant.

 

The defendant has failed to make payment in accordance with the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974

 

And the claimant claims the sum of __________________

 

I left any amounts out in case of DCAs reading the forum.

Im not sure who FV1 are - I imagine they are a DCA who bought a debt off a bank i used to use. I have been moving about a bit so wouldnt have all the information. I have had various letters from various companys saying I owe different amounts but have ignored everything up till now. I have only taken notice as its a court claim. Would a default notice be from the court or a DCA?

 

It was assigned last November according to the POC - I dont have copies of anything to do with it im afraid.

Thank you so much for your help today DonkeyB, I have read the links you posted and feel a bit more informed. I have acknowledged the court online and have amended and will be posting by recorded delivery, the CPR request in a moment. In their POC they refer to a regulated agreement between myself and FV-1, as they are a DCA surely no agreement would exist between us if I have had no contact with them ever?

 

Many thanks,

Spot on. The agreement would have been with a bank, if it in fact existed. Do you know what the supposed original debt was for? Credit card? Loan? They say regulated, so it would probably not be a bank account.

 

The PoC is all you can respond to – if there was no agreement with FV-1, then that is a defence. But a long way to go yet.

Thanks DonkeyB, I think it was for a loan with the bank - I am assuming that as the debt has changed hands more than once, there is a greater chance that the original agreement may have been misplaced.

 

As I have now responded to the court and sent the CPR request, does that mean I should forget about it almost being stature barred?

 

Many thanks,

Hello again folks - could I use your knowledge again? I sent the CPR 31.14 request by recorded delivery Friday before last and have not received any post from the claimant since. Could I ask what my next move will be regarding 1. The claimant, 2. the court?

 

Thanks in anticipation,

 

AngryApe.

1. Re claimant. Send an urgent reminder by recorded post, stating that failure to comply with your valid CPR request will leave you no alternative but to ask the court to strike out the claim (unlikely, but make the threat anyway). Did you ask specifically for the NoA and the enforceable credit agreement in your CPR request?

 

2. If you acknowledged on line, you have a further 14 days to enter a defence. What date do you have to have your defence in by?

 

Did you ever receive an NoA from them in the first place? Did you receive a letter before action?

Thanks for your reply DonkeyB, what is an NoA? I used the template form used a lot on this forum - what I asked in the letter was...

 

Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of the documents mentioned in your Particulars of Claim:

 

1 the agreement. You will appreciate that in an ordinary case and by reason of the provisions of CPR PD 16 para 7.3, where a claim is based upon a written agreement, a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s) should be available at the hearing. Further, that any general conditions incorporated in the contract should also be attached.

 

2 the assignment

3 the default notice

4 the termination notice

5 any other documents you intend to rely on in court

Is there anything else I should have asked for?

I acknowledged 10th June 2011 on the online system.

I had received many letters threatening court action but was advised on the DCA forum on here to ignore them.

NoA = notice of assignment, as mentioned in your CPR request and their claim!

 

It’s important that you understand what you’re asking for. That’s why I posted the links to the explanatory threads.

 

Simply repeating templates without adapting them to your personal situation is dangerous, but you have been lucky in this instance.

 

Send the reminder, recorded, enclosing a copy of the original letter. Demand a response by return, or a statement to the effect that they do not have the documents in their possession.

Sorry DonkeyB I did read your links but couldnt remember all of the terminology a week later. I shall put the letter together as you suggested and send it today via recorded delivery.

 

Many thanks for your time,

Hi again. It is now the 23rd and I still have not received any post from the claimant after sending an urgent reminder and the original CPR 31.14 by recorded delivery. Could you please advise what my next move would be? Should I contact the court and inform them they have failed to pass details of the POC or do I launch my defence stating they have failed to contact me?

 

Many thanks,

There’s nothing much else you can do except enter a defence based on having little or no understanding of the claim as it is so vague, with a request that the claim be struck out due to non-compliance with CPR. Alternatively, you can spend £40/£75 to apply to have the case struck out because the PoC is utter bow-larks.

 

When does your defence have to be in by? What was the date on the claim form? Add 32 days to the issue date.

Thanks again DonkeyB for your continued help.

 

Issue date: 06/06/11

 

So I believe the last possible date for defence is 4pm 11/07/11 (according the the court helpdesk line).

 

Is there any special way of wording my defence - court "prose" or anything?

 

Many thanks,

Let’s wait a little while to see if there is any response to CPR. Jon’s advice is spot on, but you could ask for a similar order at the AQ stage without any cost – however, the judge may not grant your order, and that’s a bit of a lottery.

 

Why not phone Drydens and ask where the CPR is? Record the call if you can, but do not enter into any conversation about the alleged debt or the case itself. Any such contact can be difficult to make, but it should not frighten you, and you are showing to the court you are trying to resolve the issue.
