    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

An important "heads up" on this issue and one I have seen at close hand but not experienced personally.

 

When people send their driving license off to the DVLA for a change of address, or apply for a new one, a replacement etc. The DVLA have a habit of losing a class of vehicle you are entitled to.

In particular I am referring to the riding a motorcycle part of the license.

 

Happened to a good friend of mine who sent his driving license off for a change of address and it came back minus his motorcycle group.

He passed his bike test many years ago.

 

End result was he couldnt prove to DVLA that he had passed his bike test. It was so long ago that DVLA no longer keep records that far back.

He had to retake his bike test and sell his bike.

 

He was the proud owner of a new Suzuki GSXR750 up until then.

With having to retake his bike test, he then found when it came to renewing his bike unsurance, he could not get insurance for his current bike because he was technically a new biker having only just passed his test.

The insurance companies didnt want to know about the DVLAs mistake and my friend had to sell his bike at a loss and get something much smaller and much older to be able to continue riding.

 

So some people get a signed copy of their license from a Lawyer prior to sending their license off for any changes as proof of their entitlement to drive/ride whichever class of vehicle.

 

The cost of £25 to a Lawyer is far less than the cost of retaking your car/bike or HGV test !

 

BE WARNED ;)

A simply photocopy should be sufficient for a photocard licence. The groups are listed on the front along with all the personal details.

 

Surely a photocopy of a paper license should be OK too as the groups are clearly shown on that?

Because it is too easy using modern computer software to doctor a copy or change it, a photocopy is not good enough to back up you up.

There have been cases where the DVLA have refused photocopy evidence for this reason.

 

But it is up to the individual on what course of action they take when returning their old license to DVLA to be changed.

Well having recently changed the wife's old paper one for a new photo license, I did it online and let them use the photo electronically from the passport office which meant we received teh new one before I had to send the old one back.

 

Having read too many instances of them loosing data I don't think I will ever let them have the only copy of my license until I check their data is right on the new one.

this issue has cost me thousands in lost earnings, when they replaced my hgv 1 with a provisional, after months of writing letters, I was basically told dont write to us again unless youve got the evidence we have asked for, which by the way is impossible to provide.

I am now looking at retaking the test but due to loss of earnings cant afford to at the moment and have now signed on unemployed.

unfortunatley the first company I drove for went bust about 11yrs ago.

the second company disappeared about 7 yrs ago, then I was working other than as a driver, except for a bit of relief work for a friend who knew I had a licence, but never took a copy, (cash in hand work)

problem is they rarely copy the licence in full, they just take the driver number.

DVLA wont accept a photocopy that isnt certified, other than from an employer, and then only at their discretion.

I have hunted the internet, and this happens all the time, the idiot from dvla even told me this on the phone!

 

Makes you wonder what they do with all the extra test fees, dont you think.

wake up , send a freedom of information request to dvla, this will show what you've got, and allow you to correct any errors. and should you need to send your licence off to them you've got them by the balls, since any FOI has to show correct information. CHECKMATE I thank you.

 

FoI request will not get you any information about yourself. Personal information is a specific and absolute exemption.

 

Perchance you mean a SAR under the DPA :wink:
