    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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.

Please help with my petition to the Prime Minister

 

To stop banks, credit companies and debt collection agencies from exploiting the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986, concerning the service of Statutory Demands, which they are using to bypass the due process of the County Courts by placing alleged debtors under threat of bankruptcy for non-payment of debts which have not been proven in Court and/or in respect of which the alleged debtors means to pay has not been assessed by the Court.

 

 

 

As those of us who try to help people who are in financial difficulties know all too well, "Statutory Demands" are being used far too regularly by debt collectors to force people who cannot afford to pay their debts or who have genuine disputes concerning them to beg, borrow (at extortionate rates) or even steal in order to fend off the threat of impending bankruptcy. Statutory Demands do not even require the debt collector to have proven that the debt is legitimate, nor do they require him to make an application to the Court - requiring just the service of a notice by normal post in connection with any debt in excess of £750 AND yet, conversely, they place an unfair obligation on any alleged debtor who disputes the validity of such a debt or who does not have the means to pay to make an application to the Court himself to set-aside the Statutory Demand and to ask the Court for it's assistance and protection.

 

When the County Courts have a perfectly adequate system for settling disputes about agreements which are regulated under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 this is an abhorrent failure by our legal system and by our consumer protection legislation.

 

I have set up a petition on the website of 10 Downing Street under the title "StatutoryDemands" to increase the threshold at which such Statutory Demands can be served in the case of regulated consumer credit agreements which have not been proven as judgement debts and if you agree with me that change is needed please sign the petition at the following address:

 

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/statutorydemands/

 

Thank you for your help and support.

 

Steven Whiting.

 

A Call for Action

MB, at present there are actions afoot concerning the main "abusers" of this process.

Unfortunately, the OFT aren't the fastest of organisations so this may well be a drawn out process.

Abuse of this process is a serious issue and will likely have effects on the company's ability to hold a consumer credit licence.

 

I urge anyone that has received a SECOND class statutory demand to report the sender to Trading Standards for starters.

 

If it is sent from RED debt/Lowells then I am very interested as I am currently working with TS concerning this issue.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

I rang my local court recently and they said they had no record of any stat demand against me. It was my local court I had to contact? I got mine second class post from Lowell/Red. Any advice?

What sort of world do you want your kids to grow up in?

Stat demands are not issued by the court - anyone can issue them - you can download them. However the important point is that if you do not apply to have it set aside the creditor can then go straight for bankruptcy proceedings without any need for a CCJ or any court process, as they have effectively proved the debt.

 

However if you can throw up enough smoke screens and counterclaims it is very unlikely that a judge will allow a bankruptcy to proceed.

Does this mean that no court has to be informed when a creditor issues a stat demand?

 

I will certainly sign the petition as well.

Yes renegotiation that is exactly the situation. The first the court hears of it is when the creditor issues bankruptcy petition and uses SD as the evidence that he has proved the debt.

Ok. No wonder they are being confettied. I thought it cost them £30 to initially issue it or something. By the way, I think there is a new company on the block called 'Midas' :shock: :shock: :shock: . Maybe Goldlady is the one to tell them who's boss? :) :) :) GOLDLADY!

I have had similar from Connaught in Feb and had them set-aside on the basis that they were posted (and not hand delivered) and not correctly completed. You can download forms from England and Wales Forms

 

You have 18 days to respond from date of receipt. If it was by post you can make up date of receipt.

 

YOU MUST LOOK TO SET-ASIDE ALL STATUTORY DEMANDS. ONCE THE 21 DAYS IS UP THEN DCA CAN PETITION FOR BANKRUPTCY.

 

My defence was as follows:

 

I was sent a statutory demand by post dated 11 February 2008 that I received on 12 February 2008 from Connaught Collections UK Ltd on behalf of 1st Credit (Finance) Ltd for an amount of £1,424.48 relating to a debt that they had supposedly purchased from the Bank of Scotland.

I have written to Connaught Collections UK Ltd asking them to prove that 1st Credit (Finance) Ltd are the legal owners of the Bank of Scotland debt and if so, to prove the calculation of the debt. I have not had a written reponse so far.

I attach my last statement from Bank of Scotland that I believe it relates, account number 123 031 49205.

I faxed Connaught Collections UK Ltd on 26 February 2008 asking for an update on this statutory demand and they rang yesterday (28 February 2008) to say they would be writing to confirm that they would withdraw this demand. I have as yet received nothing.

I therefore do not admit the debt owing to 1st Credit (Finance) Limited as I have no proof that their supposed debt specifically relates to the Halifax debt noted above and and even if I did I cannot reconcile their balance to the last balance stated by the Bank of Scotland.

I therefore ask for it to be set aside.
