    • You need to choose between ET and small claims, you cannot do both. For straightforward wages I'd go small claims. Faster and less messing about. Advice here Employment claims in the civil courts - Working Families WORKINGFAMILIES.ORG.UK Some types of employment-related claims can be brought in the civil courts, rather than in an Employment Tribunal. This advice page offers a high level...  
    • The garages are used - just car currently being fixed.  I have no need of what they offer.  It is conscious trespass - and the law allows. Which is frustrating.  It's just v annoying that they do this. Isn't there a law that someone cannot prevent access to a public highway from private land?
    • The problem with sending it too early is that Jake might try to write something called a Supplemental Witness Statement to undermine yours.  It would be better to send yours right on the court's deadline. The problem is that we don't know when that is.  In 90% of cases it's 14 days before the court's deadline, so 21/06.  However, in the odd case the judge decides differently.  
    • Signs and notes on windscreens wouldn't deter me either. after all. it's private land and very little deterrent to stop drivers from abusing it. A physical barrier, IMHO is the only way you will stop them abusing it.....or, depending on what businesses they are, why not rent out your garage to them, ask them for a staff discount if you purchase anything from them? Whilst it is irksome, how much money have you got to throw at it, and is it really that important in your life? If you were using your garage, different story.
    • Still worried about time order - they have not followed procedures. Looking through lists there are some items not been sent, incorrect leaflets sent.  emails sent and we’ve not received. Texts and emails sent and not completed process. Pages worth.  The worst thing is the phone calls. Not got more than 8 minutes of most.  it’s so unfair.  Have sent them emails offering to pay right back to March. All arrears were paid back.  2 payments since.    what other info do you require from me ?

    • 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 everyone,

 

I am new to this forum and wondered if someone could point me in the right direction.

 

My wife has received a letter from Fredrickson International which states that she owes a sum of £110.25,

 

 

My wife does not understand the origin of the debt so calls them,

 

 

they say it is to do with a littlewoods account,

 

 

she has not used littlewoods for many years and consequently has no records.

 

They bully her on the phone to pay £15, or they will take her to court. Since then we have paid no money, although we are in a position to do so.

 

Bryan carter has since sent a letter and is promising further action.

 

Whats the next step? Pay up or take some other action.

 

I dont really want to pay if its just some made up thing!

 

Thanks in advance for any advice

 

Mike

Send them letter N from http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html#post162367

 

Ensure that you put nice big bold letters at the top of the letter saying "I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY", do NOT sign the the letter, enclose a £1 postal order (not a cheque as this has signature on) and post recorded delivery to them

17/10/2006 Recieve claim against me from lloyds TSB for £312.82

Just to add to the advice youve been given,

 

Dont sign the letter either, instead use a digital signature such as the http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/110578-digital-signature-guide.html Also most important, if you can afford to do so, send the letter via Special delivery not recorded as special guarntees next day delivery with a signature. recorded does not allways get you a sig, especially if its delivered on a bulk sheet.

No because you paid is not an admission of guilt.

 

send a copy of it to the people who most recently wrote to you, in fact i would send a copy to everyone who is chasing you for this debt that covers all bases

Hi,

 

I wonder if someone could give me some advice please.

 

My wife received a letter from Fredpay and another from Bryan Carter, They claim she owes £115 to a company called Phoenix recoveries (ref debt with Littlewoods). The debt dates back to 2002.

 

She has no record of the debt so we ignored the letters.

 

We now have a summons from Northampton County court, What should we do now?

 

Can someone help?

 

Thanks in advance

In the XXXX County Court

Claimant -v- (YOUR NAME)

Claim Number: (CLAIM NUMBER)

 

 

Dear XXX

 

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

 

I have received a recent court claim from your organisation. In order to file a defence and counter claim I require some information. Given that this matter is now the subject of legal proceedings, you are obliged to disclose under the Civil Procedure Rules, the information and documents detailed below.

 

The information must be furnished within fourteen days of the receipt of this letter. If you fail to comply, this will be reported to the Court, a copy of this letter will be provided as evidence to the same and an Order enforcing your compliance will be sought.

 

1. A true copy of the executed credit agreement and any terms and conditions that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

2. All records you hold on me relevant to this case, including but not limited to:

 

a. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations by your company, or by any previous creditor

b. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account formerly held with *********.

c. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

d.Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

e. Details of any collection charge added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

f. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

g. A genuine copy of any notice of fair use of my data as required by the Data Protection Act 1998

h. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

i. Copies of statements for the entire duration of the credit agreement.

 

3. Any other documents you seek to rely on in court.

 

 

I will require this information within the next fourteen days. I must advise you that if the information is not forthcoming, it will be reported to the Court that you are trying to frustrate proceedings and denying me the opportunity to file a defence and counter claim.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

XXXX (type, don't sign).

 

 

 

right, the first thing you need to do, in the morning

 

send this letter to them (whoever issued the claim) via special delivery

 

 

i will be back shortly to offer some more advice

 

regards

Wow thanks for the quick reply, I will do that first thing tomorrow.

 

What can I expect back???

 

Thanks

 

Mike

What you can expect and what you should receive are entirely different things.

 

What you should receive is EVERYTHING that they will be entering as evidence including the original signed credit agreement (VERY important).

 

What you can expect is the run around as they realise you aren't an easy target.

 

As Paul says send this recorded, if not Guaranteed, delivery tomorrow as it is very important that you receive the paperwork in time to file a complete defence.

 

Now there are some important dates that MUST be adhered to.

 

Within 14 days of service (on the form) you MUST acknowledge service and indicate that you will be defending the WHOLE amount.

 

Now 14 days after that, so 28 days after service, you defence MUST be entered.

 

After that it's all with the courts.

 

So when was this summons deemed served ??

 

Any questions ?

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

You can tell if the court papers are genuine, just look for an official stamp or seal. Call the court tomorrow if you still think its fake.

 

But you should definately plan to defend because that is a sure way of getting Carter's to scurry back under their rock.

Ben, The summons is dated the 30th November

 

Linz, What is the MCOL?

 

The letter has the official stamp.

 

So if I am reading this right it is unlikely that they will comply and probably not chase?

 

But I need them to respond in under 10 days or I wont have time to send defence docs.

 

Do I need to do anything else other than send the letter right now?

OK as it's MCOL you should be able to aknowledge on line.

The court document should have the pass code you need to access this site here: https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/frontendcontroler?eForms_action=next_LoginCommand

 

Now I would acknowledge now and then wait for their response.

 

Put a big RED ring around 26the December as your defence deadline to make sure you DON'T miss it.

These people WILL go for a default judgement if they can

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

ok, so heres an update. got a letter today thanking us for our recent communication and that they have referred the matter to their clients.

 

In the meantime they have placed the account on hold.

 

So I guess this is some sort of stall tactic, I thought they were legally obliged to pass on the file?

 

What should I do now???

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

Got a reply from B.C. today not sure what to do next. I had asked for details of a debt they are chasing which we have no record for.

 

link to previously posted thread:- http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collectors-debt-collection/122849-bryan-carter-littlewoods-fredpay.html

 

 

They say the account is on hold, but I dont trust them.

 

Should I do something else and when do I need to submit something to the court to tell them they havent provided me with the necessary information to defend myself?

 

 

 

any help would appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Mike

right then, proceed as normal,

 

i trust you sent the CPR disclosure letter? if you did dont worry we will put together a defence to their action.

 

i trust they have not supplied you with any documents yet?

 

we carry on regardless as it has been known for these companies to play silly beggars and try to get you to not file a defence then file for judgment in default cause you failed to supply a defence

 

 

regards

paul
