    • 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.

Served papers re a small claims action raised against me by Shoosmiths on behalf of CapQuest, for a Shop Direct account they purchased.

 

The claim is for a balance iro £500 plus costs.

 

I have my doubts whether SD lawfully defaulted me but disposed of paperwork many moons ago.

 

I intend to make an incidental application to cist the action and request documentation from CQ and SD.

 

If I send the incidental application to the court,

 

do I need to send any of the response forms back?

What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?

 

1. The parties are as designed in the instance. The named defender resides at XXXXXXXXXXX. The defender has been so resident for more than three months immediately preceding the raising of this action. The defender is domiciled there. This Court accordingly has jurisdiction. There are no proceedings pending before any other court involving the present cause of action and between the parties hereto. No agreement exists prorogating jurisdiction to another Court.

 

2. The pursuers are a finance company which inter alia operates the business of debt purchasing. By virtue of a debt purchase agreement between the pursuers and Shop Direct Limited dated XX March 2013 the pursuer acquired the right to payment in respect of all debts and other monetary claims of any nature due or oweing by the defenders to Shop Direct Limited which were in existence as at the date the said Agreement was entered into in relation to the contract hereinafter condescended upon. The said assignation was intimated to the defender by way of written notice on or around the date of assignation.

 

3. The said contract between Shop Direct Limited and the defender is dated XX July 2011 and relates to Mail Order agreement with account number XXXXXX. The said account is in default and the sum due thereunder is due and payable now. As at date hereof, the sum due in terms of the said agreement amounts to £500 conform to copy statement of account which will be produced in any defended process to follow hereon. In terms of the debt purchase agreement hereinbefore condescended upon, the right to receive payment of the sums due on terms of the said statement of account vests in the pursuer.

 

4. The defender has been called upon to make payment of the sums sued for. They refuse or at least delay in doing so. This action is accordingly necessary.

 

What type of action? (Small/Summary/Ordinary) Small claims under Summary procedure

 

Is the claim for a current or credit/loan account or mobile phone account? Catalogue Company

 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? After, 2011.

 

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor

or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. capquest.

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? I believe so.

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? I believe so but have doubts it was lawful.

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? Probably.

Why did you cease payments:- Financial difficulty.

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No although I believe the default was not lawful because it was issued to quickly.

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor

and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Possibly prior to default, on the phone once.

I`m not sure what tact to take here. Any admission at all?

 

 

Logged on to my account and cannot access statements etc.

If I click on make payment it says no minimum balance required,

yet the available balance shows -£160 or thereabouts,

a credit limit of a little over £300,

and a balance of £460 odd.

 

 

So by my reckoning, a fair chunk of the claim is charges.

 

Should I email SD asking them to send me copies of statements, or go full out with a SAR?

I don`t want this dragging out longer than needed.

well you can deal with those charges if you lose and get them knocked off the balance

that's pretty much given in Scotland and you can use their int rate too..

I don`t want to lose. I`ve already had 4 years with a default, if I lose then that judgement would stay with me for longer than the remaining period of the default. It could cause an issue with work too if they decide to renew my vetting again.

Say I defend on the basis I don`t recognise the alleged debt and request paperwork from shoos so I can defend myself, and they then provide sufficient to prove the debt exists, can I then settle out of court?

that's down to them.

go back and read that PDF in post 10...

you are not defending yet..

you are saying you cannot enter a defence UNTIL the pursuer proves their claim..

No happy.

 

Phoned Shoos and said I wanted to offer monthly payments.

 

Told them I was not admitting liability but that I did not have the time nor energy to fanny about at court at this time, and that I would take my own action against SD to recover the monies paid.

 

Not sure if it was a scare tactic but they said that unless I paid in full then CQ would still instruct them to move for a decree. Told him to do one.

 

So...

 

If I apply for a time order under s129 CCA, what impact would that have on my credit file?

 

If I do as you advise dx,

I see this as a way to buy time til I can pay in full.

 

If I pay in full can they still get a decree?

 

If the court grants decree am I right in thinking I can have it removed from my credit file if I pay within a month of judgement?

bad move

I really wish users would run their hairbrain ideas passed us first before hitting the big red button.

you've really made a mockery on my time in trying to help you....

 

ofcourse the pursuer will say we want all the claim when rabbit in headlights doesn't move out the way......

 

sorry but god... why the hell did you do that

theres no rhyme or reason to bend over and be.............
