    • hi dx, thanks for helping just re-reading everything this morning and I must have missed this one from uncle in his thread "What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments. "  are you in disagreement with this based on your last sentence?
    • Thanks for the reply and clarification, that might just explain why in my case contact has pretty much ceased. Though with such companies it doesn't mean they won't ever threaten to return to court as a tool to force one's hand if they feel they are not self informed on their chances etc.  But concerning how last year they tried to use the CCJ to get a charging order and the court granted an intirum order on our mortgage using the CCJ that would have been a good 2-3 months beyond the 6 years, should the court not have checked the age of the CCJ in the first case or would they always grant an interim order simply off the back of a CCJ being produced without even checking the age of it?.  Had I not defended that action at the time they may well have got a default using a CCJ older than 6 years which could be a concern going forwards. At the time when I contacted the court to question the paperwork for a final order application the clerk suggested people don't get informed when companies apply for interim charging orders, they are automatic if a claimant has a CCJ and people only get contacted once a date for a final order application goes through. kind of begs the question if such companies can continue a seemingly backdoor method to attempt default action if un-defended if the initial application doesn't need to check the age of a CCJ?.
    • Hello!  Wondering if someone can help with this.  I suspect not but worth a go.  I appreciate the "contract is with the seller" line, which is what Evri has fed me but wanted to see if someone with experience in these things could suggest anything else I could do here.  I appreciate there are many topics about lost parcels - My parcels weren't lost, until the driver walked up to my door with them and then decided to make them lost/stolen... I'll summarise what has happened.  Wednesday of last week - Evri delivery driver stole / walked off with 3 of my parcels.  -  Arrived outside my properly, took photos (3 separate photos as its 3 separate deliveries) of the tops of the parcels (pointlessly zoomed in on just the labels, couldn't see anything else, other than a small piece of the pavement and a little weed, which doubly confirms it was outside my door as I can see the same plant), marked the order as delivered and walked off with them.  He's marked on the Evri GPS marked that he was outside.   -  3 different deliveries, from the same company (same boxes etc.), but 3 separate tracking numbers. -  Went through the Evri bot which opened a case on each tracking number.  I then phoned them and left a voicemail explaining what had happened. -  24 hours later had a canned response asking me if the packages had turned up and to check around etc..  I responded explaining again what happened and that they've definitely been taken. -  4 days later,  this morning, I get a response telling me to ask the merchant to refund me. I've responded to this message with a long email, repeating what I said, that I believe the driver has stolen these packages and that he took those suspicious top down shots of the packages, marked them as delivered without ringing or knocking etc.  I've said that I expect them to investigate further, but I gather they won't. In my several messages to them initially and later, I told them I don't care about a refund and wanted the parcels.  They contain some sentimental stuff, nothing of high monetary value, hence me going to this trouble.  I only paid £25 for the contents. I did contact the merchant when this first happened and they asked me to wait a few days.  They ended up refunding me despite me asking them not to and that I wanted them to escalate it with Evri because this appears to be a case of theft.  They didn't seem bothered - Refunded me and told me to go back to Evri and escalate it with them? So - Is there any way to compel Evri to conduct a proper investigation with this driver?  Search for my parcels? I have quite a lot of deliveries handled by Evri (not out of choice) - They used to have a fantastic chap and I rarely had any issues.  He has been replaced by a new guy and I believe the route is handled by this same guy who I believe has taken my packages.  Naturally, I fear this is going to happen again in the future if no investigation occurs. Appreciate any assistance - Thanks for reading. Al.

    • 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.

I'm in rented property now and enjoying not having to spend every penny I earn on mortgage payments and rent, I've got a social life starting up again around things I enjoy and can afford the odd weekend away without any worries.

 

Hopefully the judge will see sense with the mortgage company, so many of them are pulling the plug now and will be out of business completely in the next year or so if the market doesn't improve. It should help the housing market as people won't be able to get big mortgages any more and then house prices won't go through the roof.

Thankyou for your help. I am just reading the papers.As the papers were issued 26th March i am just trying to find out when the defence form has to be in .The hearing is on the 7th May.I am going to fill papers in over the weekend.I fully expect somewhere along the line to get stuck and would definately appreciate your kind offer of help.I think after the help you gave last night and the result today in court you deserve a rest-do you like a stressful life.I thank you once again for your kindness and am sure i will need plenty of advice over the coming days.

Hi there, I assume the defence forms you have are N11M ? the most important part of the form is point 27 at the end. I can help you write the correct words for this. It's a good idea to take a photocopy of the forms and fill one set in in pencil, that way if you make a mistake you can correct it before completing the other one in pen. You can also download the form at Her Majesty's Courts Service - Home (select forms and guidance from the menu on the left hand side). You can fill it in on the screen and print out.

 

If the date of issue is 26th, then the date of service will be 28th, so you have 14 days from 28th March - I make that 11th April.

 

Anyway, have a look at the form over the weekend and leave part 27 till last. I will have limited availability (houseguests!!) until Monday afternoon but will give you my undivided attention then.

 

Kind Regards

Yes the form is a N11M.I have just looked at point27 and note its importance.I had a tremendous downturn at work from Nov.I am self employed and also had a very close bereavement in DEC which shattered me.Only now are things getting back to normality.Also my wife now has a part time job which will also help.We should be able to manage the 60.00 extra per month which we will offer.The 11th April will soon be here so will crack on over the weekend.I would appreciate help with no 27.The perfect solution would be over the lifetime of mortgage but cant see Kensington going for this.Enjoy your weekend and will return mon afternoon.Thanks Tawnyowl.Thanks for tips

Have noticed how Kensingtons costs are building up.About 900.00 plus arrears fees every month.Have also noticed how erc charge has been built in to total owed.Am surprised arrears fees every month dont stop even when hopeful reasonable outcome when going to court.Plus of course solicitors costs and court cost.

Sorry to jump in on your thread guys but looks like I'm starting with the same problems with Kensington. I had the counsellor came out to me. Sat me down and told me what figure to offer. I agreed and made the first payment 2 days later by online banking. That was 3 weeks ago. This morning I got a letter freom Kensington saying that my offer is not acceptable and now they are starting repossession proceedings! I am £2549.90 in arrears and my monthly payment is £1055 without the arrears. The counsellor told me to offer £1100 per month which I am comfortable with. the thing is my next payment is due next friday and my arrears will drop to £1299.90 but thay still want to take my home away. What's the point of being charged for a guy to come and tell you what to pay, for them to turn his decision down?

Any ideas please?? What do I do now as I live in Scotland and don't understand the law up here?

They are NOT ALLOWED to charge for debt counsellors, its in the OFT guidelines. All the debt counsellors do is come and see if you are 'living outside your means, ie you have flash tvs and cars' and they are NOT there to help you in the least.

 

If this does go to court Kensington will have very little to go on as you are about 1 month in arrears with a clear payment plan in place. If it does go to court ask the judge to tell them to freeze all their charges on the account - that should help shut them up a bit.

Oh and remember to ask the court to comply with OFT guidelines and remove the charge for the debt councellor

Please remember the only stupid question is the one you dont ask so dont worry about asking the stupid questions.

Thanks for that. Do you think I should up my offer or make them stick with the current offer. Currently paying £50 a month off but could afford £150 although would leave me flat?

DONT up your offer, leave yourself some room just in case interest rates rise (there is that possibility). They are playing a dangerous game and want to push you over the edge - keep your offer as it is and you should be okay - increase it higher and you will be left with nowt....

OK. I think they are trying to pull a fast one anyway. They say my arrears at £2549.50 but when I worked out my arrears myself from their statements, I only get it to £1906.23 minus my payment this week of £1100 on friday will leave me with arrears of £806.23. Do you think they are trying it on?

No judge will reposses for that amount surely especially when I have a payment plan even it has been rejected will they?

They are desperate at the moment to get as many cases into court as they can, it gives them some 'legroom' as their lending source has dried up. If they think they can take somebody's house and sell it quickly they will.... sadly it's very much a sign of the times now.

 

Make sure ANY correspondence from them is shown to the court, DO NOT talk to them on the phone 'as it's gone to court now' - use their tactics against them.

 

Also don't forget as son as the arrears are paid off you need to get a Notice of Disassociation to stop them going to court quickly again. It puts them back at square one with the paper trail and gives you an advantage that as you've paid off the arrears once, you can do it again in a short timescale....

I will take the forms to court next week although on the court form it says you can take them up to the last minute.I suppose it is best to give the judge as long as possible to read them.However i think you are right when you say the correct date should be the 15th April.I work with bricks and would find it tremendously hard to put a letter of this importance together.It would either put the judge to sleep or be to short to be any good.I suppose the good things going for us at the moment is that summer is coming and my job prospects are good and that my wife has taken a part time job .Upto 3 days a week.I cannot offer unrealistic amounts and still feel if i offer 60.00 max extra a month i hope this would be acceptable but am shaking a bit.I have other debts but most have accepted token payments.There is equity in the house -not much about 20000 . I would never think again about remortgaging .The death of my brother in Dec also was greatly upsetting although i know most people still get on with life.Just need help with correct words to say .
