    • They wont take you to court. I'm not sure what they'll do about the letters and if they will or wont send you the letters from their retail prevention company, but you can ignore those letters. You'll be just fine don't worry.
    • 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.

    • 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

 

A few weeks ago, I had a very minor bump with a bus - so minor it didn't even scrape the paintwork on either vehicle. The bus company are now trying to claim on my insurance, although they haven't said on what grounds.

 

The circumstances were that one evening I was trying to reverse into a parking space outside my house during torrential rain (I live in a small village in Scotland). The bus came up right behind me while I was reversing and stopped - I was so intent on not hitting the car beside me that I didn't see the bus but managed to stop just as we touched. The offside rear corner of mine touched the front offside of his bus.

 

I can't stress how minor this was - I stopped because I suddenly saw his headlight in my wing mirror and we touched as I stopped the car. I know this might sound like I wasn't paying attention but there was very heavy rain and he was so close that his headlamp was hidden by my car. As I swung round, it came into view and I stopped immediately.

 

I was very annoyed that he didn't sound his horn - he claimed that my reversing light wasn't working (as it happened, the bulb had just gone - it certainly worked half an hour previously when I reversed out of a parking space elsewhere).

 

As I said, there was no indication of damage whatsoever on either vehicle - not even on the paintwork. Given that I drive a Ford Focus and he was driving a bus, you would think that damage, if any, would be much more likely on my vehicle than his.

 

He refused to give me his name, saying that the bus company's registration no (not the reg plate, a four-digit no printed at the top of the bus) was all I needed. He had a witness, a woman passenger, who also refused to give me her details, claiming that she was his witness and had nothing to do with me.

 

I took photographs of both vehicles - he refused to dim his headlights so I could get a picture of his paintwork, but I managed by taking pictures from several angles. Not a mark visible on either vehicle.

 

I'd like to know where I stand on this. Was he right to refuse to give me his details? Was the witness right to do the same? There is a very strong suspicion that the two of them were chatting as the bump happened and he wasn't paying attention. Also, is he under any obligation to sound his horn if he sees a collision is about to happen?

 

I have now had a letter from the bus insurers telling me they intend to claim on my policy. I know full well there are no real grounds for this - are they just trying it on?

 

Any advice greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

I would write back to the Bus insurers asking for evidence of damage to the bus, and telling them that you took photographs of both your car, and of the bus at the time of the incident.

Tell them that in your opinion, the collision was of such low speed, and there was not even a mark on the paint of your car that you seriously doubt that there was any damage whatsoever to the bus and you will be forwarding copies of all the details that you have on the accident to the IFB (insurance fraud bureau) as you feel that this is a spurious claim.

Just wanted to say big thanks - v sound advice. Have spoken to the insurers and all indications are that it will not be pursued - quite rightly, too.

 

Am still incensed that they even tried to make a claim on what is essentially a percentage basis, hoping that I won't bothyer to fight and just let the insurers sort it out between themselves.

 

A triumph for the common man - thanks again!
