    • 1. who knows... 2. not the whole A/C vanishes from your file on the DN's 6th b'day ...already carefully explain this. 3.yes 4.already carefully explain this.
    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.

    • 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 red...

I don't know how lucky it is...

Anyone know what the possibilities are from here - is it straightforward?

What can the bank do now?

I heard stories of them saying that they never received the documentation, however they did acknowledge my claim so I can't see how they could do that.

Thanks

M4N, as I said yesterday I did all of this and yet they were still allowed to enter a defence. Check later this morning to see if your judgment has been granted before you get too excited. Don't want to be a spoilsport, just don't want you to suffer the disappointment I did. Good luck!

I called the friendly, helpful people at MCOL - and they said that there was nothing there at the moment from Barclays, unless it arrived in the post this morning...I asked if they were allowed to enter defence after the final due date, and she said yes as long as I hadn't already applied for judgement - which I have (although she said it takes a couple of hours to get onto the system - I think they may still have a slim chance, but why leave it until the day after to enter your defence - and risk losing by default?)

I then asked her what the procedure would be, and told her I was a member of the bank action group...she said the bank would receive a CCJ, and then I had to give them a reasonable time to pay up...she mentioned 2 weeks.

I said that I'd been given advice to immediately issue a warrant - she sounded genuinely interested...and amused! at the prospect of the Head Office having Bailiffs at the door...hehe

So I have to wait until tomorrow to make sure the judgement goes through, and that they haven't managed to wangle a defence in at the last second.

Will let you know the outcome of course...

Good Luck m4n - let's hope the judgement sticks.

Read through NightStars threads as she has been through this method.

Do not enter into phone conversations- Tell them you will only deal by letter.

If you phone them the slippery bast*rds will try to screw you.

Well I'm disappointed to say that Barclays filed a defence, just as AP said they might...

I called MCOL and they said that they could enter a defence up until today, as I hadn't had the judgement yet...I'm a bit disappointed, but I'm not gonna let the bas*ards grind me down.

So it's being transferred to my local court, Teesside - and I'll be receiving their defence in the next couple of days along with the AQ.

So it's standard procedure from here at least...

Thanks for the advice everyone who's replied...

Thanks Squishy! =)

So they only have to say that they intend to defend - they don't have to actually submit the defence?

That seems a little unfair - but let them continue with their childish antics.

What would happen if someone was offered a settlement before court, but didn't accept it - and forced them into a court room?

Would it be a long drawn out affair?

sorry to hear the latest update, but hey, don't let it get you down. You just carry on with your claim as before. I think I'm correct in saying that they should have actually entered their defence so you can expect it in the next couple of days. Going by my case you will firstly get notification from MCOL that your judgment has been rejected, soon followed by a letter stating your case can no longer proceed online and has been transferred to your local court along with the AQ.

Hi all...

Yesterday received: 'Notice of Transfer Proceedings', along with Barclays Defence - exactly word for word the same as everyone elses...and my AQ.

Since it's been transferred to my local court because:

'the area where the defendant lives or carries on business' - do I still put in the AQ to have the hearing at my local court, or do I just ask to keep it where it is because of the above reason?

Other thing is - do I just return the AQ at this point in time?

Is it worth sending a schedule of charges since their standard defence claims:

'The Particulars of Claim do not provide details or particulars of the account in question and /or the precise charges alleged to have been unlawful, or the date thereof.' - or does that all happen later?

That's all of my questions for now...

Thanks

If they've already moved it to your local court, I'd just leave it like that.

 

I returned my AQ ASAP rather than waiting for the deadline, speeds up the process a little, maybe!

 

I believe it all happens later, although I did put in the extra section the date that I had originally sent specific schedule of charges in prior communications with the bank. Have read that others have sent a copy of their schedule of charges as well, though.

  • 2 weeks later...

I've rang the court manager this morning (the number was on my 'Notice of Transfer of Proceedings') - just to check that they had received my AQ.

She said that they had it - and that the judge would be looking at it today...

and I'll hear back from them sometime next week! I can't wait!! :)

They are currently designating dates for December - so looks like I'll get paid in time for Christmas...lol

Received letter this morning from the courts:

 

Before DISTRICT JUDGE ROBERTSON sitting in Middlesbrough County Court, Teesside Combined Court, Russell Street, Middlesbrough TS1 2AE.

 

Upon the Courts own motion. The Court has made this order of its own initiative without a hearing. If you object to the order, you must make an application to have it set aside, varied or stayed within 7 days of receiving it.

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT the Claimant do by 4pm on 25 OCtober 2006 send to the Court and to the Defendant a chronological Schedule of the charges he seeks to reclaim with an explanation of why he considers them to be disproportionate.

 

Dated 27 September 2006

 

Now I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...do I just send my schedule, and another letter explaining why I think they are disproportionate - is this the normal way things go? Or is this just because of the defence saying that they didn't have a copy of the schedule...even tho I've sent it to Barclays twice.

Any advice welcome as the clock is now ticking - 25th October isn't that far away!

Dear Money4nothing - if the letter from the courts means that they want you to provide evidence as to why you feel that the charges are disproportionate for example reports, previous case law etc then jonni2bads thread is a good place to look or victimnomores thread.

Hope that helps if not sorry!

Regards Sandbag.

It's just because you submitted your claim online.

 

If you'd gone to Middlesbrough County Court and submitted a paper claim form you would have included your schedule of charges with it, with copies of both for the defendant.

 

So now that Middlesbrough have your claim, all they're doing is asking for the bit you couldn't attach to your online claim.

 

I would just send the schedule, with a covering letter re-iterating your "particulars of claim" and quoting your case number, to both the court and the defendant.
