    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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 Nitro

 

 

thanks for those words of support. perhaps you or Tomtermm could expand on Tomterms comment

 

"if they have already sent you a document with a statement that document is a copy of the credit agreement, then it is a legally binding statement."

 

They have sent me exactly this and it gives me encourgaement if this goes to a hearing but what area of law would cover this. In is a genreal ceeptabled practice or laid done in statute. I feel this is important should this go to a hearing.

Hi All

 

All very interesting. A question. What if they say theier response to a setion 77/78 request was an error or an oversight and they can now produce.

They can not. They are bound by the statement. They may not say it was an oversight, and it would be unlawful for a court to accept this as an excuse.

You can find a copy at Results within legislation - Statute Law Database , there are dozens of regulations published under the act, though, and it has been amended by the consumer credit act 2006. I tend to use a copy from a copyrighted legal database (which I can't share on forum)

Hi All

Got a letter from Brachers today effectively offer to settle at a balance of approx. £7400 which was the amount oustanding on 14/9/07. this includes some penalty charges but not any big fees and no real discount.

 

I can not pay this as I have no liquid cash howver a maybe able to borrow a few hundred poubds from a friend to offer to Brachers as a settlment. Noting the significant difference would I be better not to make this offer or should I do so to show them I have nothing.

 

I do have a home but very little equity.

 

Any views appreciated.

I think it depends on your views on the 'agreement' they have produced. Is it enforceable or not?

Arrow Global/MBNA - Discontinued and paid costs

HFO/Morgan Stanley (Barclays) - Discontinued and paid costs

HSBC - Discontinued and paid costs

Nationwide - Ran for cover of stay pending OFT case 3 yrs ago

Hi All

State of play so far.

 

after the case management conference with the judge the claimant requested a stay. this was granted on the basis the claimant wanted more time to negotiate a settlement. the court advised me of this in writing and the order ststed the following.

 

1 stay of proceedings for 1 month to see if settlement can be reached.

 

2. if settlement reached the parties to notify court.

 

3. if no settlement reached the parties are to endeavour to agree directions for the continuation of this matter and if no agreement reached the claimant to notify the court by 27/5/08 when a directions application will be listed.

 

4 costs reserved.

 

my question is to the directions and part three. the claimants solicitors are requesting my proposals for directions. I am asssuming they mean what i want them to provide me. This would basically be contained in my defence I assume.

 

perhaps somebody can give some guidance on the directions issue.

Hi Orky

 

Brachers added £3 K to my amex balance and then offered a 50% settlement, I could only afford 30% and they declined. I challenged them on the CCA and they could not produce it, I am now with another legal firm who are having the same problem. I should think they would also settle for 50% with you.

 

Good luck

Hi Monty

 

Did you get a summons at any stage from Brachers

orky

 

Dear Orky

 

No, they sent lots of threats then a settlement offer for 50%, after adding about £3 K in fees. I made a few offers but they would not budge. The accounts were then passed to another DCA who were not up to much and I then moved to Scotland. I am now being threatened by a Scottish firm but they have gone quiet since I reminded them of their obligations with respect to supplying agreements under the 1974 Consumer Credit Act. I am prepared to settle and just playing a waiting game so they know I am not a Muppet.

HI PT

 

In a nutshell I am not sure what I should be trying to agree with the soilicitors. At the case management conference the court wanted me the defendant and Amex to trsy and agree draft directions. this is my attempt at that. I assume it would be something like this, although there maybe more I should add from my defence such as unlawful charges etc :

 

Draft Order for Directions

 

The Claimant shall within 14 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court:

  • Copies of the Credit Agreement and any documents referred to within it which complies with the consumer Credit Act 1974 and all subsequent regulations, which the claimant seeks to rely upon
  • Default Notice compliant with s87 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 andConsumer Credit (Enforcement, Default and Termination Notices) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1561) as amended,
  • Copies of any statement or other document relied upon

If the Claimant fails to comply with this order, the claim will be struck out without further order.

 

The Defendant shall within 14 days thereafter file and serve the following

  • An amended defence sufficiently particularised in response to the documents supplied by the claimant

If the Defendant fails to comply with this order, the Defence will be struck out without further order.

HI PT

 

I originally had a N150 form. Then I had a case management conference with the claimant and judge and this was stayed for 1 month at the request of the claimant. the reason was an attempt to reach a settlement. the judge requested that should a settlement not be reached then we should try and agree directions between us.

 

The main focus of my defence and proposed directions is the non-production of a CCA agreement. My concern is should I also enclose within my proposed directions that the amount claimed includes "probable" unlawful fees and therefore should be stayed until the recent high court case in resolved.

 

I would appreciate your views.

Hi All

 

Update

 

I received from Brachers solicitors on 23/5. this letter states the cleint, Ame credit card, have declined my proposed directions and therefore they are unable to agree these directions. The court ordered that if we were unable to agree directions the cliamant should advise the court by 27/5.

 

In the letter Brachers have stated the following

 

"we confirm that we have applied to the court for SUMMARY JUDGEMENT in this matter. we have informed the court that no arragement has been reached regarding the directions in this matter and therfore we have requested that a directions application shold be listed following our client's application"

 

I understand that this means they are trying to get my defence struck out and an immediate judgement against me.

 

Can somebody give me some urgent guidance as what to do.

 

Thanks for all your help so far.

I suggest you write to the court as well. State that Amex didn't agree with your proposed directions and ENCLOSE A COPY for the Judge. Your request was reasonable in that it just asked for were the documents they should have produced anyway.

 

Could be they are trying a fast one, telling the court the parties couldn't agree but blaming you and then asking for judgment against you.

 

You might like to apply to have Amex's case thrown out on the grounds they have not produced any agreement.

Dare say PT will be the one to advise here but surely in the absence of any compliant CCA, given the case law, you have a good case for getting the case thrown out too. Send them a list of cost too.
