    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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,

 

I received an Ordinary cause Claim a few weeks ago.

I've been to court to hand in my Notice of Intention to Defend.

I've now got to put my Defence in .

 

Been reading a lot of cases on the forum and thought I would post as I don't want to make any mistakes.

 

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

Who Is The Claimant: Cabot

 

Who Are the Solicitors: Nolans

 

What type of action? (simple/Ordinary): Ordinary

 

What is the claim for:

 

1. Jurisdiction

 

2. On 01/02/1997 the defender entered an agreement with Lloyds TSB Bank PLC under which the defender borrowed from them a sum of money repayable on demand.

 

3.The said agreement was an agreement regulated under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

4.The defender failed to pay as agreed on demand and is in breach of contract with the said LLOYDS TSB BANK PLC.

The said supplier assigned all rights in the said debt to Cabot Financial UK Ltd on 01/08/2012 and the pursuers have advised the defender of same.

 

5.The last payment was made to account on 21/08/2012.

The said sum of £6000 is the sum sued for.

 

6. The pursuers have made frequent requests to the defender to make payment of the said sum but the defender has refused or delayed to do so.

 

Claim Received:- 31/07/2017

Notice of Intention to Defend:- 21/08/17

Defence in by:- 04/09/17 but I can only go to court by Friday 01/09/17

 

What Documents are listed in Box E2:

 

Is the claim for a Overdraft, credit card, loan account, HP Agreement, Catalogue or mobile phone debt ? Credit card

 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? Before

 

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. Debt purchaser

 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? No Notice of Assignment but I received letters from Cabot asking for payment.

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? No

 

When was your last payment:- 20/06/2012

 

Why did you cease payments:- Financial difficulty

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? Yes. The account defaulted 2007, I made reduced payments until 2012. I CCA'd Halifax in 2012 but they were unable to send me a copy of the agreement and since I was now struggling to make the reduced payments I put the account in dispute and stopped paying.

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management planicon ? Yes, made reduced payments negotiated through CAB

after 5 yrs the debt is TOTALLY EXTINQUISHED and does not exist

Thank you dx, I was hoping that would be the case.

 

When writing my Defences I have to admit/deny etc all the points made in the Condescendences.

With the exception of Jurisdiction, would I deny all? since the account should not exist anymore under Scottish Law.

 

Under Pleas In Law would I state the account is Statute Barred and ask for the case to be dismissed?

 

Thanks

Yes, I was resident in Scotland when I took this card out

 

The last payment I made was 20/06/2012 online from my Halifax bank card. I always paid it monthly online. I still have all my bank statements to prove this was the last payment and no further payments were made.

 

I don't know where Cabot/Nolans got a date of 21/08/2012

 

Thanks

so they've generated phantom payment

nothing new there then!!

 

the Scottish SB defence

which I think runs.

 

The following defence is all you need if it is SB

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

 

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of The Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, Section 6

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract,

 

in excess of 5 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

under scottish laws the debt is now extinguished

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

.

Regards

Make sure you reply using the correct format

Might be worthy to take in person to the clerks office and get it checked

 

Might also be worthy to scrape your mind and ensure you didn't make later payments via say a DMP company or ring the original creditor and check last payment date too

Hi dx, sorry not been online. I forgot my sign on details then couldn't find my thread.

 

Put my defences in using statute barred above.

 

Pursuer asked me to prove that I did not make that payment in 2012 but from reading online I believe it's up to them to prove that I did.

 

I've to put in my Rule 22.1 then got my Options Hearing in just over a week, will update after that.

 

Thanks

Hi, just an update.

 

When I was called forward I was still getting into the right place to stand but Nolans (or local rep?) had already starting talking so I missed the beginning but he was saying I hadn't done something properly, not sure what.

 

The sheriff said about it being prescribed by time.

 

Nolans said as their client was not the original creditor it would take time to get all the details,

he said about sisting the case or continuing it at a later date.

 

The sheriff asked me if I just wanted it shelved for the time being or to come back in 4 weeks to give them time to find paperwork.

 

I said I'd come back in 4 weeks.

I take it by shelved you mean sisted.

 

no probably better to give them 4 weeks then demand if dismissed as they've have long enough already.

and already claimed they HAD the paperwork on the claimform

Hi dx, another update

 

I've received a letter from solicitor offering to dismiss the action with no expenses due.

 

The offer is made without admission to liability and I have seven days to accept.

 

If I don't accept they say they have prepared further adjustments and a rule 22 note.

 

Any thoughts?
