    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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.

Agreements under the CCA1974 may only be enforced by a Court Order(where it fails ie perscribed terms etc) under certain constraints of the CCA1974.

Dave I would also advise you to check out the CCA 2006 amendments to the CCA1974 in preperation

Can someone quickly explain in laymans terms what the para below actually means

 

 

The courts powers of enforcement where agreements are improperly executed by way of section 65 CCA 1974 are themselves subject to certain qualifying factors. Under section 127 (3) Consumer Credit Act 1974 the requirements are laid out clearly what is required for the court to be able to enforce the agreement where section 65(1) has not been complied with 127(3) The court shall not make an enforcement order under section 65(1) if section 61(1)(a)(signing of agreements) was not complied with unless a document (whether or not in the prescribed form and complying with regulations under section 60(1)) itself containing all the prescribed terms of the agreement was signed by the debtor or hirer (whether or not in the prescribed manner).

Dave, im not sure how you can say in laymens terms what s127(3) means, other than saying, if the agreement doesnt conform to s61(1) (a) CCA 1974 it is improperly executed.

 

an improperly executed is only enforceable by order of the court see s65(1)CCA

 

but s127(3) says if its not containing the prescribed terms the court cant do diddly with it

Well I arrived at court in plenty of time got myself prepared.

 

The claimants representative sought me out and asked if I would like a chat before we went in.......I said no thanks I figured they might want to play mind games.

 

So in we go,

 

The DJ welcomes us and asks the other side to lay out the claim which they did.

 

The DJ then ask me what my defence is to which I begin to explain that the Credit Agreement supplied is not enforceable etc etc and that its a application form no prescribed terms ect...... The DJ states that it is a agreement and those things I mentioned (prescribed terms) are not required for a credit card agreement :eek:

I then quoted from the CCA that these things are indeed a requirement to which he stated that if I was to quote law then I should seek representation from a professional, and that reading misleading information on the internet would not get me anywhere:confused:.

 

The DJ the asked why the claimant had been late in supplying the required info and they came up with some load of rubbish (by this time Im confused and very p**ed off:evil:).

 

And then the DJ turns to me and suggest that I get some help (he mentioned CAB) I said I would like that opportunity so he then adjourned and told me I had to submit my statement of evidence by the end of July.

 

And that was that, on leaving the court the claimants representative asked if I would like to talk about a settlement to which I responded No thanks...............................

the DJ is wrong, Credit Tokens, of which credit cards are, fall clearly under the scope of the CCA, simply point the judge to s 14 and that confirms this point.

 

seems like once again, you are in the judge lottery.

 

it goes to show there aint no substitute for legal assistance

Hi

 

Just reading this post with concern about dave, what the dj means by

"...had to submit my statement of evidence by the end of July"

does it mean capquest won??? or the dj does not know the cca 1974??

 

would like to know about this if PT 2537 would kindly explain

 

thanks

no they havent won yet, nor will they if Dave is legally represented with someone who knows the 1974 Act at the next hearing

 

It seems bizzare that the judge is unwilling to listen to the relevant quoted law however correctly presented unless its actually given by someone in the legal profession.

 

and there is me thinking justice was for all and not a select few who could afford it :-(

Well, the trouble is, advocacy is a skill in itself, and in many cases, it is not the law thats the problem but the way its presented to the judge.

 

people seem to read and reproduce parrot fashion from the forums, thats ok of course until someone slings a spanner in the works and departs from the script

 

im not saying thats what happened here but that does happen alot

No as you said earlier its the judge lottery and in this case the lack of knowledge that a credit card would even fall under the regulations... shame he didn't just look at the evidence presented which no doubt included an application/agreement which clearly states, this is a regulated agreement under the CCA1974!

So Ive calmed down a bit now, Im really keen to get some representation on this .

I think PT is probably right about people seem to read and reproduce parrot fashion from the forums, thats ok of course until someone slings a spanner in the works and departs from the script

So my question now is where do I go / has anyone got any contacts in the East Midlands area.

 

I want to win this and Im prepared to pay.

you should NOT pay anything

 

there are good CCA lawyers out there that can do the job on a CFA which is no win no fee

 

anyone who asks for upfront fees can whistle

 

Sadly, i cannot recommend anyone as i am restrained from doing so under the rules i have to abide by, but there will be others who can assist in that department

 

can i ask, who was the judge you had?

 

I know a few in the notts area , ive aslo attended Derby and Mansfield courts so i know many on that circuit

Hi PT

 

The DJ was Beale , its funny because before when we went in the gaggle of legal reps were talking to the rep from Capquest and they were saying "oh hes brilliant you wont have any problems today etc" and it looks like they didnt.

Guess this is a lesson to us mortals not to underestimate the power of the court process to confuse, intimidate and muddle us.

What is the answer to take law books into the court room to proove the legislation you are quoting is correct.

Really sounds like the judge was talking down to you on this one.

I have to go to court against Hutchinson and even though their case is rubbish, I'm worried about the same thing, that the judge ignores what I say because I'm a litigant in person and they have proper civil lawyers.

 

I'd really rather get this settled out of court, (I'm a criminal lawyer, civil litigation is very different) I had to take court action because they woudnt talk to me, now they entered a defence (not a very good one but it means a hearing) and I'm wondering if there is any way that I can

 

a) force them to negotiate or

 

b) use the fact that they wont negotiate against them in the court.
