    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise
    • Right that's exactly why so many drivers got caught, it had been that way for many years then suddenly changes with no warning
    • The hearing is 25th June, I have downloaded items to different organisations previously but they do it a simple way and I just cross out private things with a felt tip and sent to an email address.  I have looked at the instructions for CAG it seems extremely complicated especially this about having to use a system MSPAINT.EXE that removes your personal information. I am hoping one of my Grandchildren understands things to give me help, I have shown one of my daughters she said she does not understand the instructions. I have a PC and I mainly use a lap top, as previously advised I only understand the straightforward things, sending an email and using my scanner to send a document that I save in a file or send it to an email. I will try and find someone to help me, thanks for your help you have given me so far appreciate it

    • 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,

I have been dealing with RMA for the past few months with the help of BRW(cheers).I got a SD in the post via recorded delivery(which I stupidly signed for).So,I can't really deny receiving it.Checked royal mail website.The last day to have it set aside is today.I filled in all the forms with help of this forum,went to the county court listed on the SD demand,but,this is not the court within the jurisdiction where I live.Is the SD still enforceable even though it lists the wrong court??.I can't get to the correct court until Thursday as I am away with work (day 20 post receiving SD).

The woman at the court office said I could pay to request more time,but,there would be a charge.She would not say if it was inforceable;hence my dilemma.

I am desparate to get on top of this and don't want to get done over by missing a deadline as the SD stated the wrong town to hand the form into.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.The CC is AM*X,so,I know they are generally fairly viscious at following things through.

The statutory demand doesn't have to be at the closest court as some county courts don't handle bankruptcies / insolvencies....it will be the nearest that handle BR's...

 

This is a good site to check on - The requested resource (/HMCSCourtFinder/tiles/Her Majesty's Courts Service - Court Information and Addresses) is not available

hi,thanks for your reply and link.the issue I have is the SD said to go to court X to have SD set aside.Court X said not the court for where I live.They gave me the court where I should go,but,on your weblink,they don't deal with bankrupcy.I border two counties and the nearest court is in the county I don't live in.What I want to know is what do I do now?Do I ignore it as it stated the wrong court or do I find out which court applies to me and pay a fee for late submission (day 20)?.I don't want to make things any worse,thanks,Rory

Hi Rory....you have 18 days from when you received it, to submit it to the closest county court that handle BR's, I think you should apply to get it set aside...I think the judge will have a field day and NOT be happy....as it could possibly be an abuse of process (and depending on your reasons for setting aside)....you need to substantially dispute the debt....and claim your costs back....

 

Are you ok on filling out the forms ? Have you disputed the amount at all yet with whoever is chasing you ?

Hi 42man,thanks for your help so far.I have eventually got the paperwork to the correct court!3rd time lucky!.I had filled all the set aside paperwork in,so,hopefully thats OK.As it was day 20 the court clerk was very helpful and suggested that I add to the affidavit that SD stated the wrong court and hence why I was coming on day 20 as opposed to day 18.She said the timing should not be a problem.She said that I should from the Judge in about 2 weeks,so,hopefully he will set aside or throw out SD.

I have not claimed any compensation as my priority was to get the paperwork in and get it set aside.I will let you know what happens next.Do you think I should inform the creditors solicitors that I have asked to have it set aside?

 

thanks again,Rory

Are you ok with what to put on the affadavit ? Have you made a substantial dispute ?....

 

Your costs sheet as LITIGANT IN PERSON COSTS should be submitted 24 hours before the hearing....

 

You can certainly try ringing the person named on the demand, highly unlikely that you'll get through, (log the calls - dates and times you tried)....if you do get through just state that you will be getting the demand set aside and claiming your costs back at the hearing....

 

A statutory demand must show a named person or persons from the Creditor or their agent/solicitor whom you can contact directly. This is Rule 6.2 of The insolvency Rules 1986.

This means that if the statutory demand doesn't give the name of a person you can speak to then it is not valid. If you try to contact the named person and they won’t put you through then it is also invalid.

Hi 42man,

thanks for your advice.I have had 2 calls from their solicitors;on day 21 of the SD and the day I received the letter from the court to say my request had been passed to a judge and i should hear back in the next couple of weeks.do you think I should ring the solicitor (its not the named individual on the SD)?I don't want to make matters worse for myself.Thanks,rory

I'd be interested to know how strong your case is Rory....if indeed it is strong, then I would ring the solicitors and say you will be applying for a set aside and claiming full costs....if they want to withdraw, then tell them you would oblige if they pay your costs !!! Also you can tell them that the number on the demand is different.....

 

What are your reasons for dispute Rory if I may ask ?

I don't know how strong my case is?I requested cca and received a signed interactive application form.I applied online.I have not been provided with any details as to how they have come up with their sd amount.I can't afford to settle in full and am unsure what to do if they make me an offer?thanks,rory

Hi,got a letter from their solicitors today giving me 7 days to contact with a payment plan.If I don't contact them by then they will contact AMEX to see what further action they should take.They list;bankruptcy,charging order,warrant of execution or any other action they should decide to take.They are calling this an undisputed claim.Any advice on what I should do?I can make regular payments if required,but,not much more than £150/month.The figure they quote is just over £7k(originally it was £6k prior to referral fees).Any help would be appreciated,thanks,Rory

I received a letter from the court giving me a date for January.They have asked the creditor to attend before the Judge in December,so,I am not sure what thats about.Since i received the letter,I have had daily calls from the creditors solicitors re:recent correspondence.Any ideas on what I should do now?.I am just concerned if I don't make contact with the solicitors then,they might use this against me when they see the Judge in December.Any advice would be great,Rory:?:

Apart from a bona-fide dispute on the account, the other way of getting the demand set aside is to come to an agreement with them, or pay to get the debt below £750. When you requested a copy of your agreement did they ONLY send a computer application ? no terms and conditons ?

I got 2 letters from DCA solicitors saying that they were willing to drop SD if I sent back a form agreeing to not pursue expenses.In the other letter they have offered to remove one of their excessive charges,so,as to avoid costly court case.They have given me 7 days to contact them with an acceptable payment.They have said they will chase up CCA and T&C's as soon as possible.They make note of the fact that in my SD set aside letter I made no reference to making regular payments to the card account etc.

Should I phone them with a proposal or should I write to them or none of the above??thanks again,Rory
