    • just noticed that one of farages favorite poops was suggesting another stealth tax of 10 quid a month - possibly per person inc children ..   Minister proposed £10 monthly insurance-style patient charge to fund NHS dentists WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK ‘Working people can’t afford another Tory tax rise,’ says Labour’s Wes Streeting   “They are framing this as some kind of pre-payment or quid pro quo, but of course, we already pay for the NHS through income tax, and in general that is a much more equitable way of doing it.” The DHSC declined to comment
    • All righty, seems I know why it was so quiet, the case was in transfer. I just got a letter from my local county court stating that they will be now taking over from Nots (dated 28 May 2024, wow) But no other correspondence so far. Will keep you posted
    • Hey,  I've messaged my husband but he is not contactable while he is in work. As soon as he is on his way home I will find out which finance company we used. I'm so sorry, I just don't know.   @ Car return none identify letter.pdf
    • Okay, I have read your claim form. A pity you didn't come to us earlier. You haven't pleaded any legal basis for your claim and you haven't cited the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act. How long have you been aware of this forum? We will have to bring that out later when you do your witness statement. Once again, do the reading very carefully. I suggest that you wait until Monday before coming back here and confirming that you have read everything. And in particular, as I have indicated, read the thread which I posted above very carefully and in particular we the details of the contractual terms which were discovered and get a copy for yourself. Post a link to them in this thread as well for other people to see. They are relying on the fact that you don't have a direct contract with them and they are referring to a contractual term which is apparently in the contract between them and Packlink which specifically excludes third parties. You will definitely want to see this. They have tried to rely on this before but they have never produced the contract. In your witness statement you will have to request that they produced the contract in court. In terms of the mediation, frankly we would have advised you to decline mediation. It's all done secretively. Nothing is ever revealed and of course they will try to get you to compromise on the amount of money you are claiming. We would strenuously suggest that you don't give up a single penny. Do the reading that I have suggested, find the details of the contract which I have told you about which accepts direct liability to you, the customer – and post it here.

    • 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.

surfaceagent suggested in this thread that you have to tread carefully as it may be a genuine mistake. You might think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

 

I think this marks a very worrying development.

A quick summary: rogermeard sent his CPR31.14 request to the claimant's solicitor, and the solicitor appears to have forwarded this to the court as his defence. Points:

 

1. Has the solicitor pretended to be rogermeard to the court?

2. Why have they done this?

3. Have they done this before?

We also got this letter from the courts............

 

"i acknowledge receipt of your defence.a copy is being served on the claimant(or the claimants solicitor).the claimant may contact you direct to attempt to resolve any dispute.if the dispute cannot be resolved informally,the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to proceed.the court will then inform you of what will happen.

where he wishes to proceed ,the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence.after that period has elapsed,the claim will be stayed.the only action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay."

 

 

 

It was dated the 5th Mar, 2 days after we CPR31.14 the claimant solicitors. We just assumed it was a confirmation that we wished to Defend, how daft are we??

This is a nightmare, i don't know what to do. I am phoning the Court Centre today to find out what has been submitted but i don't hold out much hope in finding out. So what will i do then, the claim was issued against us on the 27 Feb so because of the timescale i only have a little while to sort this out.

 

How can i present a Defence when the court states a defence has been submitted i have no idea?

 

I'm off to work now, i will be back online after 1400 today.

 

I am soooo frustrated, surely this will go to a local County court for a hearing, or a judge will at least look at it and see that (if indeed it is my CPR 31.14 request presented) the CPR is in no way a defence?

Roger, don't panic - I've alerted PT and 42man to this, and I've reactivated the similar thread, so hopefully we'll soon have the heavyweights wading in with excellent advice. What we have here is clearly not on, and it seems like an attempt at abusing the system. Once is a mistake, twice a coinceidence, but three times? And that's all we know about. Hang fire and stay cool. You'll be well looked after.

My feeling is that you carry on as normal.....you have done everything correct so far. Just keep everything in order - rec delivery slips.....Is it an attempt to miselad the court ? or are they really that bad !! I seem to remember (I think it was) Nottsdave had the same problem..... - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/171510-help-please-court-papers-2.html

Thanks 42man, I was sure there was another identical case out there - that's the third. Have PM'd dazza to see where he's at. You'll see from dazza's thread that he had some difficulty overcoming the bureaucracy of the courts, even though someone else submitted a 'defence' on his behalf.

 

The solicitors need some serious b*llockings for this - as do their client - I'm still struggling to believe it! Once we sort the proper or holding defence then it's worth getting an awful lot of complaints in.

Hi Roger

 

Have a look at my thread, the same thing happened with me but after chasing the court it turned out that no dodgy defence had been submitted.

The current state of play with my case is that the Judge has ordered that HL Legal must (within 5 days which is up today) file there AQ or the case will be struck out, even though they sent me a copy of there AQ which I found very odd.

If theres anything else you need to know post and I will reply.

 

Good Luck

I have just been alerted to this thread (thanks DonkeyB), and it appears we have a third case in which a defence has appeared on a case where no defence has been submitted.

 

The solicitors involved in all three cases are the same.

 

For the sake of completeness, I will provide links to other threads which relate to this issue -

My own thread in the Legal Issues forum -

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/172507-hl-legal-claimants-filing.html

 

I would dare to suggest that a third identical incident, identical even to the exact amount of time between the CPR 31.14 being submitted and the imaginary defence appearing, tends to suggest that there is something happening here which goes beyond coincidence.

 

I would also suggest that some form of proactive action is now necessary.

 

I will be making some further posts to these threads as soon as I have fully digested these latest developments.

Update............

 

Spoke to the Court Centre today who said they would look into it and call me back.....which they actually did surprisingly.

 

The woman (didn't think to get her name) confirmed that the court has a copy of the CPR 31.14 i sent to the claimants solicitors, she also confirmed that it has a letter attached stating that the claimant wishes to accept our letter(CPR) as our defence?????????:evil:

 

She then said after i pointed out we did not send any defence etc that we can still add/submit to our defence as its still within time scale.

 

 

I have still not had a reply to my CPR 31.14 from the claimants solicitors and we sent that 10 days ago recorded delivery.

 

Also thank you all for contributing and helping with my problem.

This has them very firmly by the short and curlies I would think. Sounds like a complaint needs to be made immediately - ScabHunter, can you advise? Did she say if the letter was from HL, or did it appear to be from you?

 

Any chance of you getting a copy of that letter? This is outrageous!

I have just phoned the court again and got the same person, she was very abrupt sounding . I asked what the letter contained she said it was a covering letter stating that the claimant solicitors wishes to accept our letter to them (CPR) as our defence.

 

I asked her if i could have a copy of the letter and she got quite abrupt, she stated i didn't need it and can still put in our own defence, she then said thats its gone, to which i asked why would you bin something in a court case , she then said that it's back in their filing section and repeated that we can still send in our defence.

 

I am sorry but i got so annoyed i forgot again to ask for a name. Something doesn't feel right though?

Roger.....keep your recorded delivery slip safe that you sent to the claimant's solicitors....a complaint to the SRA would be good too...they are attempting to mislead the court by doing this...a firm of solicitors should know FULL WELL what a CPR request is....record the time of the call you made today, with the name of the lady you spoke to which you can report to the judge...!!

It's a shame you cant ring the opposing solicitors and record the call asking them why they have submitted a CPR directly to the court as your defence when the letter is clear enough in it's content....

42man, i didn't get her name as i was so frustrated i wasn't thinking straight.

 

What should my next course of action be?

 

I can't just sit here waiting for a reply to my CPR that won't come, i need to defend this as well?. or should i just sit tight and see what next?

So to sum up.........

 

I ignore what is happening regards the CPR 31.14

 

I continue to provide a Defence.

 

What sort of defence should i provide, in my own words or a standard statement. Also do i state in the Defence the problems with the POC and Docs provided by claimant etc or is that a court day thing?

 

I assume this will go to a hearing or can they be granted a ruling without a hearing?
