    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • 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.

I received a letter from Northampton County Court over an alleged bus lane infringement in which the amount was £195 made payable to Harrow Council,

the date of the alleged offence was 06/03/2015 at 11.28.

 

I had never received any correspondence from Harrow Council about this ticket,

I had to do a notice to owner to send it back to it's original PNC.

 

Now the bus lane in question I know very well and have done for almost twenty years,

the end of the bus lane you can enter two lanes ,

the right hand side to go up towards Harrow on the Hill, or Roxeth Hill,

the left hand side to go straight up or turn left,

 

now what happens is there is a box junction so the right hand side stops until you can go on,

I crossed the bus lane to go left I believe but because of the length of time I can not remember what I was doing that day.

 

The reg is correct, you can clearly see the make of the car on the photo

yet on the part of the form where it has Vehicle make,

it has unknown which is strange.

 

Now I thought you were allow a certain distance to enter the bus lane towards the end of it to turn left, I

may be wrong,

 

do I have a leg to stand on to appeal,

 

now there is one photo and you have to pay £10 if you want to view any additional photos on line,

it's free if you go down to their office.

Have I translated this correctly? You made a witness statement which reversed the process back to the PCN?

 

Does your V5C have you as the registered keeper at your current address?

 

And have you lived there since before March 2015?

Sorry,

as I didn't receive anything to do with the alleged bus lane infringement,

I had to go down to a County Court to have my form witnessed by a clerk to send back the form in which I ticked notice to owner to Northampton County Court,

 

it would go back to the original ticket in which you have the option to pay the reduced fee,

 

yes the car was mine before the date,

 

and yes the V5C has me as the registered keeper

Why would you get a letter from Northampton County Court if you had no contact with the Council? You would only hear from the Court in response to a statutary declaration made in response to an order for recovery from the Council?? Are you saying what you got was an Order for recovery so you then made a statutary declaration and ot has now reverted back to the PCN stage?

I have received confirmation from Harrow Council that my attempt to have the bus lane infringement has been rejected and the reason is as follows.

 

Whilst I acknowledge that the contravention occurred in 2015, there are no time constraints with how long it takes between the service of the charge certificate and the order for recovery form being sent to you.

 

This is due to the council having to pay to register the debt with the Traffic Enforcement Centre(TEC) and at the time of the service, the council were unable to register the debt due to cuts. The PCN was correctly issued.

 

Is this worth appealing and if so on what grounds, the excuse seems a little far fetched

I never received any contact from Harrow Council regarding the bus lane infringement til I got the letter from Northampton County Court, when I sent back that I had never received any correspondence from Harrow Council, I then told I had to go to a county court to get my id checked and signed and then sent back to Northampton and changed back to the first stage of the offence

please consider donating...

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Have try donating twice,

and each time, my card is not accepted, I will try again.

 

As for the Infringement, I always thought their excuses were lame,

their excuse about budget cuts which prevented sending the letter out didn't make sense,

 

I kept pushing as to why three years was acceptable to receive a fine,

in the end I believe they gave up,

 

also on double checking the photos of my car I realise I was allowed three car lengths to enter the bus lane in order to turn left,

 

I put that in my letter,

I may be wrong about that,

but I'm sure I read that before and used in a similar ticket eight years ago when driving my lorry

 

Have tried again to donate using my card, but the message We are sorry your first attempt didn't work out this could be a temporary glitch keeps coming up
