    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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.

If they are stating that the debt is an overdraft, take a statement in showing your last account useage and say that the remainder looks to have been added up by excessive / unlawful penatly charges !!

Hi there,

 

Thanks for your help...

 

Yes I put a CPR re in on 20th Dec and got back a CCA for my loan (other account ref), a letter of assignment to L & R from HSBC and a notice from Largo (L & R) saying they have been assigned it from Phoenix. The account refs on letters are the same, but not as the CCA or the claim (different again)

 

That was all. Received on 10th Jan and nothing since. Says, we will be able to provide your other requests in due course.

The following requests were 'referred back to their client (Phoenix or HSBC?) and they stated they shall "revert back shortly".

c. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

d.Documents relating to any insurance added to the account/s, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted.

e. Details of any collection charge added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

f. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

i. Copies of statements for the entire duration of the credit agreement."

 

In letter dated 23rd December, from L&R, but still have heard nothing more.

If this is a current account overdraft that is made up entirely of charges, can you ask for stay until the determination by the OFT/Bank court case. After all, our reclaim claims are being stayed until the outcome !.

You are absoloutely right! I have a letter from HSBC saying that they would apply for the stay if I pursued, and they are all aware of the dispute.

 

The problem that I have is that the portions that are charges have not been investigated (but have been acknowledged by HSBC and L&R) yet. So these sums are a mystery! I have an estimate in my defence for this but it only goes up to year or so ago re interest.

 

How can I phrase this and do I put this into the draft order for directions or where? Can I put this is the AQ somewhere?

Any law I can refer to in my AQ about no letter before action?

 

Can I request copy and proof sent of this in my directions?

 

Failure of the Claimant to supply a sufficient letter before action

 

34. The claimant has in the defendants opinion failed to conduct themselves in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules insofar that they failed to issue a letter before action compliant with the CPR preaction protocols which state

4.3

The claimant's letter should -

(a)

give sufficient concise details to enable the recipient to understand and investigate the claim without extensive further information;

 

(b)

enclose copies of the essential documents which the claimant relies on;

 

©

identify and ask for copies of any essential documents, not in his possession, which the claimant wishes to see;

 

(d)

state (if this is so) that the claimant wishes to enter into mediation or another alternative method of dispute resolution; and

 

(e)

draw attention to the court's powers to impose sanctions for failure to comply with this practice direction and, if the recipient is likely to be unrepresented, enclose a copy of this practice direction.

 

Yes, put them to strict proof.

A couple of hundred years ago Meyer Amshel, (1743-1812), founder of the Rothschild dynasty is reported to have told his five sons, “Let me control a nation’s money and I care not who writes its laws”.

Hi DocH,

 

Please advise the source of your second quote, and where I can add a summary in the AQ?

 

For example, do I put in the more information or in the directions or both?

 

Would this do the trick in the directions:

 

"The defendant puts the claimant to strict proof that the required documents were served before legal action was initiated, for example, no letter before action"

 

Thanks again...

Hi Babegem...just subscribing...

I haven't got through all of this yet, but would point out the following (sorry if you know this already):

Phoenix Recoveries purpotedly buy debt from the likes of HSBC, at a major discount and then try to strongarm recovery, by using L&R (Legal & Receivables) / LARGO Law (all same company). Names sound legal...but are just debt collectors...LARGO Law my 'associate' themselves with Caseys Solicitors, but 'Litigation executives'....are not solicitors at law.

 

Debts cannot simply be lumped together, each claim must be substantiated separately, with all necessary evidential paperwork....as on most of the forum's advice...any one of them should fail, if insufficient proof of agreement/default/assignment/amounts etc.

Flexiloans/personal loans are still loans and not overdrafts/bank accounts, so dont be fobbed off by this...so under CCA law and each requires production (and proof of delivery) of all relevant paperwork.

If the accounts are old enough to fall under CCA 1974 (pre 2006 I think ?), then look up several forum cases 'won' for specific guidance and references.

If they have not got paperwork proof as formal evidence served properly on each agreement, then each needs to be challenged on its own merits.

If the account numbers/amounts are different to yours, then you should also defend on basis of not recognising their claim......eg.could have any number of debt collectors chasing....you are simply trying to determine their rights to collect on that specific debt...

 

Try not to be too upset by LARGO Law....and try not to panic too much....by the time it comes to being heard, you'll probably know more about the CCA rules than they do...

 

Good luck and keep reading similar threads.

Sure. From the Justice.gov.uk site here:

 

CPR - Rules & Practice Directions

 

The quote from the CPR would need to go into an amended defence, or may be suitable for a Witness Statement. Those with more experience will advise.

 

In your directions you should be asking the judge to order the claimant to provide you with a true copy of the letter before action.

A couple of hundred years ago Meyer Amshel, (1743-1812), founder of the Rothschild dynasty is reported to have told his five sons, “Let me control a nation’s money and I care not who writes its laws”.
