    • 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.
    • Dear EVRi parcelnet LTD t/a evri   evri parcelnet isnt a thing also you say defendant's response which is a bit of a weird format.   Something like   Dear EVRi, Claim no xxxx In your defence you said you could not access tracking. Please see attached receipt and label Regards

    • 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'm wanting some advice on an old debt from 2012.

 

I ordered blinds through a company called UK HOMEMAKER which I wish I never had. They totally messed up the order got blinds that was too short and rails that didn't work/fit properly. They took the initial deposit and said they would take faulty items back and replace. A direct debit was set up but they never came back with the new items. Tried calling them on several occasions but was always told they will come next week time and time again. I told them i wouldnt be making any payments until the items got sorted.This was in August 2012 by December I gave up and never heard anything from them till now.

 

Fast forward to today and I receive a letter from Nautilus Investment Holdings LTD stating they now have the debt of £375 and have outsourced it to a company called Direct Collections Bailiffs ltd. A quick Google search on this company has now got me really worried. I've not had any correspondent with anyone regarding this loan since the last telephone call I made back in December 2012.

 

I've tried extremely hard to rebuild my credit score over the years. Checked my credit file and can't find this debt now. I would start paying it off but I really don't want to be paying for something I didn't fully receive.

 

Any advice on next step to take would be gratefully received.

Can you please tell us when you order the blinds in 2012 and when they were delivered and you discovered that they were incorrect. How much money did you pay them?

 

Presumably don't have any court judgement against you on this – in which case I'm not sure that there is very much that the debt collection company can do

Thank you for your reply.

 

The blinds where ordered at the end of July along with a £50 deposit when they came to measure up. They came some time in August to fit (Not sure what date now) and noticed the problems right away. Told the fitters who said someone would be out to inspect them.

 

Someone came a week later and agreed they was some faults and blinds cut to wrong length so took them away and said fitters would be back to replace.

Out of 8 blinds ordered only 3 where correct.

 

The fitters never came back no matter how many phone calls I made or the amount of times I waited in for them not to show.

 

Oh and also no court judgement like I said not heard anything until now.

Thank you. How much evidence have you got of any of this. Do you still have the blinds?

 

Please can you tell us how much you paid – how much they say you still owe them – and how much, if anything, have you had to pay to remedy the situation

That's the problem as it's nearly 6 years ago now unfortunately for me I've not got any of the original paper work.

I think I stupidly thought nothing would come of it after this long so didn't keep anything.

Also as they never sent any letters until now don't have anything.

 

I don't have the blinds anymore they have all been replaced so I have receipts for the new blinds which cost about £200 for everything.

 

The original cost was £425 with £375 outstanding after £50 deposit which I paid.

You needn’t worry to much about the DCA, they are just noisy teenagers.

 

Can you remember when you made your last payment?

Or did you only pay the deposit?

When exactly was that?

 

Hang tight, experts will be along to advise....

Well the issue is almost statute barred. By my reckoning, in July this year it will become legally unenforceable – assuming that they don't have some kind of judgement against you which I'm afraid to say is possible.

 

The sum is less than the £600 needed for transfer up – unless in some claim which has magically been mis-addressed, the amount of money alleged to be owed has been bumped up by the addition of charges and interest. If this is the case then it could be transferred up for enforcement by HCEO. If it is less than £600 then if there is a judgement then it would stay in the County Court. At the correspondence which you have received they have told you that the debt is £375 so it sounds if they haven't done anything to it. On the other hand, they must realise that it is nearly statute barred and they may be considering doing something.

 

You could either sue them – but there is little to be gained, or watch out for the arrival of a claim form and then respond with a defence and counterclaim.

 

I completely agree that there is no point in starting to make any payments. It seems that they are clearly in the wrong and looking at the Internet for UK Homemaker, I see that they don't seem to have a very good reputation.

 

What you might like to do is to send them an SAR to see if they've got anything about you. Do you know if Nautilus are simply acting on behalf of them or if they have bought the debt?

 

Maybe you would like to put up the Nautilus letter here in PDF format.

Thank you for all the replies.

 

From my understanding from the letter Nautilus are now the creditor and they are using Direct collection Bailiffs to recover the debt. They state all contact and payments to be made through direct collection Bailiffs and have included there contact details and bank details for payments.

 

The letter is dated 2nd March and includes a notice of sums in arrears (the £375) and a default notice.

 

The letter also states "We are aware or a previous period of non-compliance, whereby a notice of sums in arrears was not issued when your account status met the appropriate threshold"

 

I will try and get a copy up.

 

Also in the statement they made adjustments to the account in Sept 2017 I think it was charges they have removed. Will that go against it going statute barred?

No just what was uploaded and some FCA leaflets on arrears and default.

 

Ok. It might be worth waiting for the real knowledgable folk but seeing as they claim to have purchased the debt you could try a CCA request on them.... see if they have the original agreement....

 

Wait and see what other folk say...

Should I send this letter to them? Also would this be classed as section 77 as it was a Loan?

 

 

Sorry for all questions.

 

Should it be sent directly to Nautilus or direct collections bailiff?

I believe I did but honestly can't remember it's been so long.

 

It was through a doorstep company called UK homemakers they left a leaflet so called them.

 

They came to the house to set it all up and the only other time I've had contact with them was when I was phoning their head office to try and get the faulty items sorted.

 

Should I just ignore it & see what they send next or should I send CCA request asap?

So as stated its coming up to being statute barred...hence the parasites coming out the woodwork.

 

August 2012 and they issue a default notice dated 2nd March 2018 :-)...they issue a Notice of Sums in Arrears (that to allow them to claim interest from Aug 2012) :-) DCAs cant issue either...only the Original Creditor

 

Ignore them and forget it..... and only post back here if a court claim is issued.
