    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.
    • Did you ever think of walking away? Become bankrupt and in 12 months it'll all be behind you. My feeling is that you may well get nothing from the sale of the property anyway. Going by the date this thread started it looks like eight years of arrears, lender's costs and receiver’s fees on top.
    • Just to clarify - I make use of evening legal clinics. It is not always possible to see a lawyer (they have limited time and days/week).  This means questions one has may never get answered or there's weeks between follow-ups.   To be really clear - I am representing myself; I am playing at being lawyer/ barrister - which means I take help wherever I can get it (and then research it thoroughly). Ae - a judge in a recent hearing pointed out the receiver is not part of my current proceedings - and suggested I have a separate claim v the receiver. Disclosure has presented damning evidence v the receiver  The receiver against whom I have a complaint is not part of the receiver governing body.   The receivership is in 2 names - a joint one.  My complaint is directed at whom I was told is the lead receiver.  The other named receiver IS a member of the governing body.  But he has now left the company.  And the lead receiver has retired - but is still a working consultant on my case.   All the evidence shows it was the 'lead' receiver who was doing all the  work/ the misbehaviour.   But if the appointment was 'joint' would I make a complaint against them both?    I am sure that wouldn't go down well with the other receiver who is at the beginning of his career. The law is very much against borrowers.   But the evidence against this receivership is crystal clear.   I just don't know how and to whom to complain.   The places I've tried so far don't offer much transparency

    • 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 have been contacted by CWD who state I owe £60k, I have 30 days to respond/pay up in full.I

 

I own a house with equity and am concerned they will try to make me bankrupt thus losing my house.

 

I left the UAE in 2011 and was originally contacted by IDRWW last month

 

. I am finding it hard to find a solicitor who deals with such things.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

I am tempted to contact the bank directly and come up with a settle meant for the original amount which was around £6000.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thank you for your reply, I have read loads of threads and looked at different websites about them.

 

I have read they have gone to court here in the UK.

 

I appreciate it is probably scare mongering but I have equity in the house and a young family so need to make sure I am 100% safe

 

. Is it better to ignore or ask for everything?

 

They have sent me my cc agreement and cc statements too. Cheers

Just make sure you open all letters received and see what is enclosed.

If any creditor takes it to court, you will receive the claim directly from the court.

It is always up to the creditor to take you to court and just because a DCA or DCA solicitor threatens this, does not mean it will happen.

 

If a creditor wants to issue a court claim, they ( or their Solicitors) have to send a letter headed letter before claim and in the letter it will say they will issue a court.

 

At this point, you reply asking for copies of all documents in English e.g copy of original financial agreement in your name bearing your signature/date, default notice, copies of finance statements, copies of any foreign courts judgement.

 

And if there are reasons of dispute, you include these

You never admit owing anything in such letters.

you just ask for information.

We could do with some help from you.

IF and that is a big IF they did take you to court the it would have to be determined under what law was used for drawing up the original agreements and if it wasnt UK law then the chances of any of the debt being enforceable are small

 

You say you originally owed £6k and that has been bumped to £60k. well, that will take some explaining wont it?

Shame it isnt under Italian law where any claim for interest or silly costs is automatically blown out of the water for ursury

yeah was £6k and now 60k with interest!

 

! My issue is that I have a large amount of equity in my property which I obviously don’t want to lose.

 

I appreciate I should be safe but always at the back of your mind.

 

And you are correct if it went as far as court how can they stand there and justify another £54k in interest!!

Dx I have seen several comments about the well know website lot! But have no idea who they are, can you say in a forum?

 

If you googled Dubai debt, you will find them.

But you should stay clear of any such company offering legal help, with Facebook, Twitter accounts, articles appearing on multiple foreign online media sites, which seem not verified ( possibly fake internet news)

 

I think they started out with possibly good intention as they were having problems with Dubai,

but now seem to raise more questions about what service is being offered.

It seems to be more about negotiating repayment terms and you wonder what commissions are being earned.

 

If you wanted proper legal help from UK Solicitors expert in helping with foreign debts being taken to a UK court

then contact the Law Society and they will provide a list.

 

But it will be frustrating find a Solicitor,

as according to reports they only seem to represent Banks because of guaranteed payment of their expensive fees.

 

It really depends on how serious it gets.

If you search the London Gazette, you will find UK residents have been made bankrupt by Dubai Banks

but you do wonder whether these people have simply ignored everything

e.g including bankruptcy paperwork served on them.

We could do with some help from you.

I have an idea who it is now!

I’m not too worried now about it, if it goes to court I would have to sort a payment plan if needed but certainly would fight any bankruptcy petition.

Also as we all know it does look like CWD can’t really do much .

So an update for everyone.

 

Firstly I have not emailed CWD back from the letter they sent saying I have 30 days to contact them.

 

In the last week a friend of mine who lives in Dubai has contacted the bank and they have knocked over 70% off original debt straight off making CWD look farcical.

 

At the moment we have offered bank the original debt and for them to take into account the interest I paid when I was there. I will keep you updated.

I don’t follow that logic.

Either their SD isn’t valid, so you can get it set aside and not have to oppose a bankruptcy petition, so don’t need to offer a payment plan, OR

It is a valid SD and they can proceed to a bankruptcy petition, and don’t have to accept any payment plan you offer..

 

Following a statutory demand, they are under no obligation to offer or accept a payment plan .....
