    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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

 

Please can you help? Any advise would be greatly appreiciated.:)

 

For the past 5 Months i have been sorting out a problem with my house. Every time it rains water is under my floor boards causing Damp Walls, Plaster Falling Off Etc.

 

I have been in touch With my house insurance (abbey) who sent out many people to investigate the problem. They really did not understand what the problem was and said it was a Yorkshire Water Issue.

I have contacted Yorkshire Water Who also Investigated and Said it was Either The highways Running off in to my Property OR Water Table.

 

So i contacted Then The Enviromental Health Dept In my Local Council And a very rude man said " what do you want me to do about it". Appartantly I have to find out where the Water is coming from and Then sort it from there, I tried to explain I dont know where its coming from thats why every one coming out to asses the problem. He also Stated It definatly Would not be a highways issue. (without seeing it)

 

So if it is water table what can be done, Do i have to live in damp conditions every time i get bad weather.

 

I have 3 small children under 5, and due to the damp i now have no carpet, or wallpaper. An infestation of Silverfish is Emotionally doing my head in. No one From pest control will bother coming out as untill the problem sorted or they will keep coming back and cost me a fortune.

 

Is this right how i have been treated especially with small children. My youngest Suffers with Chest Problems and no one seems to be bothered.

 

Please Help?:mad:

I can't offer you any help, but I am subscribing to your thread because I have the same problem. Luckily we have a celler/paddling pool depending on the weather.

 

I live less than 100ft from the sea deffence wall here in wet and windy Morecambe and just assumed it had something to do with that.

 

Regarding your children - do you have a nice health visitor? Can you get her onside and get her to get things moving for you re pest control.

:razz:ALWAYS REMEMBER, IF YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO YOUR SITUATION, YOU ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF GETTING YOURSELF OUT OF IT

WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE DCA's!!!!!!!!!!!

Many Thanks For Reply As regards to Health Visitor, I have not checked into that. Even my local council wont do pest control for me.

I have found out so far from a water proofing company that a sump needs to be put in living floor. So that will cost a bit.

Just for clarity are the water company saying that it may be the natural water level in the gound - the water table (unlikely unless you are at the lowest point in your immediate area and a bit harder to deal with compared to run off)

  • 3 years later...

Hi I am having the same problem and have looked at a few things. I have a sub floor which means trhat the floor I walk on is apprx 3 feet above the level of the water that is coming in.

A tanking system will not work as the water pressure from outside will push the "tank" off the walls/floor it has been adheared to and allow the water back into the

I am having to raise the sub floor by putting 12' of stones then adding 6/12' of waterproof concrete ontop of the stones. Waterproof concrete is approx 1/3 more expensive than ordinary concrete but it will avoid the need for a damp proof membrain that could rip or puncture on the stones and make ordinary concrete damp and allow water to penitrate.

I saw the waterproof concrete used on "Grand Designs" where a family built a basement with a floor level 2 METERS UNDER THE WATER TABLE LEVEL!!!!!!!!!

Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem with my cellar, when it rained heavily I got 6- 12 inches of water over the floor.

I could not find out why and thought it was the water table coming up, however a few years ago the council and builders had the pavement up when new drains were needed for a new house next door.

They found that the old clay pipe that was meant to take rainwater from the surface drains had cracked completely and that much of the water was escaping to my cellar.

Since the pipe has been replaced I have had no further problems.

 

Is this a new problem, have you lived in the house for a period without any trouble? If so I would think that the problem does lie with the surface water drains.

 

The water table local to me is very, very low- so low that the water company can no longer pump from the bore holes they have used for 60 years and your area may be the same, your local water co. will be able to tell your the state of their local reserves. If they tell you that the water table is low I would go back to your council highways dept and insist that they investigate the surface water drains.

If theyare difficult about it go through your local councillor or go straight to your MP, I have done this on several occasions and in my experience a phone call or letter from an MP gets a very quick positive response.

Best of luck
