    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks
    • I have just opened another bank acc with lloyds (i have a few already) After doing some research they may have some relation to tsb or be apart of the same group will this cause me issue if my salary is paid into my lloyds account? Also, if the debts do go into default and nothing is paid then after 6 years it all goes away? As the DCAs cannot do anything? I do want to start paying in like 3/4 months or do you advise I leave it if it goes into default? again sorry for all the questions, i am just processing everything

    • 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.

Dodge what has the default date got to do with statute barred?

 

The default date will give an indication of when the agreement was ended, this will be the cause of action for the SOl, after this it would be reset by any payment or acknowledgment.

 

The CRA defait date is only a guide of course the actual date would be when the notice under the act was sent or there about.

They are all moot points. Doesn't matter what the £1 was for its a credit card account and It's been 6 years. It's barred.

 

Well I suppose if you believe that a contractual payment can be a cause of action it would be moot :)

You are going to get some disagreement there. While there are no hard facts on the Limitations Act, the general consensus is that it all depends on the terms and conditions. IF the Ts&Cs say that after two missed payments the account will be suspended/ terminated, that is likely to be the COA. This is when a creditor 'could' send a default notice (not necessarily should) so even if a creditor sends a DN 6 months later, this matters not as they could have done it earlier.

 

remember, until the DN is issued, only the arrears can be demaded. That is not a COA.

 

Having said that, if you wish to dispute it, start a new thread in the BG

Just in passing, I know there's debate about what constitutes a proper and lawful default notice. Is there a definition on the site of what one has to contain and in what format please?

 

Probably best starting your own thread :) otherwise the default and termination regulations http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006/3094/contents/made

£1 would not be a contractual payment as minimum monthly payment I all credit cards is £5 so by that point the account would be with the collections department and the £1 would be for CCA or a payment towards the debt they were demanding.

 

DN is a procedural requirement that they are free to issue after one missed payment. Because they delay it makes no difference to limitations. Pointless arguing with Dodge I just hope the original poster has the faculties to see through him.

Contractual payments would be made within the term of the contract, Paying money on a contract is not a breach, not paying money is a breach of contract, you are confusing yourself again with acknowledgment.

No it's when you miss the first payment, the pound just resets the clock.

 

I see, so why then are you telling the OP that the COA was the payment for £1 ?

 

 

I don;t think I have anything to gain from discussing this with you, so I will leave you to it :)

Actually you do not know this for certain. The payment could be a token payment after discussion with the credit card company. Are you 100% sure that the minimum payment is £5 in all cases.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Well as the start of this thread is missing i can not comment. I am however sure dodge would agree it would be up to lowells to prove the payment was made but it would also need a positive assertion from the debtor that it wasn't made. (if it went to court).

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .
