    • "We suffer more in imagination than in reality" - really pleased this all happened. Settled by TO, full amount save as to costs and without interest claimed. I consider this a success but feel free to move this thread to wherever it's appropriate. I say it's a success because when I started this journey I was in a position of looking to pay interest on all these accounts, allowing them to default stopped that and so even though I am paying the full amount, it is without a doubt reduced from my position 3 years ago and I feel knowing this outcome was possible, happy to gotten this far, defended myself in person and left with a loan with terms I could only dream of, written into law as interest free! I will make better decisions in the future on other accounts, knowing key stages of this whole process. We had the opportunity to speak in court, Judge (feels like just before a ruling) was clear in such that he 'had all the relevant paperwork to make a judgement'. He wasn't pleased I hadn't settled before Court.. but then stated due to WS and verbal arguments on why I haven't settled, from my WS conclusion as follows: "11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. "  He offered to stand down the case to give us chance to settle and that that was for my benefit specifically - their Sols didn't want to, he asked me whether I wanted to proceed to judgement or be given the opportunity to settle. Naturally, I snapped his hand off and we entered negotiations (took about 45 minutes). He added I should get legal advice for matters such as these. They were unwilling to agree to a TO unless it was full amount claimed, plus costs, plus interest. Which I rejected as I felt that was unfair in light of the circumstances and the judges comments, I then countered with full amount minus all costs and interest over 84 months. They accepted that. I believe the Judge wouldn't have been happy if they didn't accept a payment plan for the full amount, at this late stage. The judge was very impressed by my articulate defence and WS (Thanks CAG!) he respected that I was wiling to engage with the process but commented only I  can know whether this debt is mine, but stated that Civil cases were based on balance of probabilities, not without shadow of a doubt, and all he needs to determine is whether the account existed. Verbal arguments aside; he has enough evidence in paperwork for that. He clarified that a copy of a DN and NOA is sufficient proof based on balance of probabilities that they were served. I still disagree, but hey, I'm just me.. It's definitely not strict proof as basically I have to prove the negative (I didn't receive them/they were not served), which is impossible. Overall, a great result I think! BT  
    • Seeking further advice now. The 33 days in which the defendant has to submit a defence expires at 16:00 tomorrow. The defendant has submitted an acknowledgement of service but looking to get the claim awarded by default in failure to submit the defence. This is MoneyClaim Online and can see an option to request a default judgement but believe that is for failure to acknowledge the claim within 14 days??  So being MoneyClaim Online, how do I request the claim be awarded in my favour?
    • Have to agree with the above Health and safety legislation is specific in that the service provider in so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his employees and those not in the employ of the business. You claim is like saying you slipped in the swimming pool area while taking a dip. As rightly stated by by the leisure centre, a sports hall has dedicated equipment and you yourself personally have a legal obligation in mitigating danger or injury to yourself by taking account of your immediate surroundings. Where your claim will fail is if it is reasonable and proportionate to impose liability of the Leisure Centre? The answer has to be no.

    • 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.

Thanks gallahad, but that is a big IF, and chances are not high as that is just my own personal opinion as they have taken so long to address my concerns relating to my agreement that I would probably do better fighting this own my own.

 

I am going to have a long think on what to do next

Who was your broker and have you sent sar to both them and Blemain?

Hi Gallahad & Welshperson,

 

Can I ask you if your agreement is the same as Fretfulls ....which does not contain the warning that.... "Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up up the payments on this agreement or any other loan secured on your home" or words to that effect?

 

sparkie

 

Hi Sparkie, although mine does not contain that wording it does say "If you sign and the lender is not paid you may lose the assets charged"

They were still trading as Freedom Finance when we signed agreement and have recently changed their name. We phoned them after seeing an Ad on TV. I am guessing that would not be construed as canvassing. I am going to email you direct if thats ok I have some more info.

Hi Gallahad,

 

It is excellent that you have received some very good advice from sparkie, even though he may have got confused a bit......but after all that he is doing in his own battle against swift I cannot blame him.

 

Nevertheless, sparkie has done a lot of ground work and research and has gathered a vast amount of information. He gives people a lot to think about and a step on the ladder, we all have to try and find out as much as we can ourselves too. I say that because presently sparkie has a lot on his plate, and any help or advice he gives is nothing but gold dust in my eyes :D

 

When I first received help from sparkie I was on cloud 9 but then half way through he got heavily involved with his own problems with swift and I thought I would never hear from him again. I then started my own research and looking in to my agreement and what I thought was wrong along with the great advice sparkie had given me. All I say was 100% true, so sparkie you ain't lost your marbles, well not yet anyway that is ;).

 

Every time I log on and see that sparkie has posted I get really excited as I know that what ever he posts is very good information and it is always helpful. No one is perfect and we all get things wrong every now and then and I am sure sparkie you are allowed to slip every now and then :D.

 

I have started a few threads on Blemain and don't know if it would be better to post on there so as not to get sparkies thread with swift more complicated. If sparkie is alright with us posting on his thread then great if not not then we can make a new one.

 

Here is the copy of my legal charge, Gallahad and WP3 are your the same, and also are your agreements in very small print from beginning to end?

Hi frettful, the answer to both your questions is affirmative.

I have to say I agree with Frettful in that whatever ones views to stoop to such a personal level of remarks as TIE has lowered himself to is beyond contructive criticism. I would also point out that I see no sign of TIE even attempting to assist the thread or any one in need.

Sparkie your doing now exactly what I knew you would. Immediately trying to get everyone else to side with you. Only you could and would twist this around to make yourself look good. I think this forum is one BIG EGO trip for you but that is just MY OPINION.

I see you are following TIEs early posts in being intent on personal remarks and this does you or your point of view very little credit.

Sparkie - if the company is a sub company of Swift then Swift or whatever the holding company or plc is then it doesnt matter if they have any assets or not because the parent does. And they would have assets to borrow £125 million - your mortgage and other customers mortgages. As I mentioned before, Swift probably lent from one company then transferred the asset to another - this is common industry practice and not illegal. They are set up to service not lend. There is absolutely nothng wrong with this. What are yo suggesting is wrong here? What do you think they are doing with the money? Are you a qualified accountant? You're statements are bold and dangerous. A retired car mechanic, who presumably is not an accountant can spot all of this illegal activity yet Barclays, PWC, Swifts private bankers, third party vendors, Companies House and many others didn't spot it or knew about it but were in on the [problem]? That's impossible Sparkie. You really should stop posting these things with such conviction until it's proven in a court of law to be true. You should only post on factual issues and since you believe in so many conspiracy theories you should keep then to yourself. Saying you know for certain on these things are wrong is impossible yet you work the group up into a frenzy - when will it all come down on Swift? Also, it did not take the FSA 3 years to get GMAC and that was for TCF issues not the things you're on about.

 

CAGERS - start holding Sparkie accountable for his posts. Ask why not a single one has bene proven to be true and don't allow him to say "any day now", "it takes time" or anything else like that. If 5% of what he's cliaming is true Swift and PWC would be out of business by now.

I would be interested to know your views TIE on why Swift have not bought an action for Libel considering the accusations being made.
