    • Much appreciated for the ammendment. The snottier the better right!   What I am assuming is that this response is to be posted to Gladstones? However, I am seeing some users sending this as an email instead, which is a little confusing.  If we're happy with this response, what would you suggest is the best way to send it over to them (post/email), and is there anything additional I could include (if necessary)?  Thanks again! 
    • Hi I've read through other threads to better inform me of the process from here onwards. When I put in the MoneyClaim it gave me a claim number and it currently says to wait for the defendant to respond, they have until 7 August.   It seems their most likely action is to extend that a further 14 days to about 21 August - this hasn't happened yet, of course, as it is only 27 July but I'm anticipating that may be the case. when the expected defence action is taken by EVRi I will need to submit DQ with these responses A1 - no mediation B - my contact details C1 - yes to the small claims track D1 - No.  If No please state why.  I believe the defence will provide some rebuttal to the particulars of claim and so I need to include details as to why the claim requires a hearing.  Is there some certain templated text I can include here or will it vary depending on what the defendant comes back with? I see on the form it mentions the following: Relevant reasons include that there are factual disputes which will need the judge to hear from witnesses directly or the issues are so complex they need to be argued orally.  Hoping to reach out to see what may be the most effective statements for D1 reasoning. E1-5 are pretty straightforward. I want to get ahead of things and be ready to take the next step so I appreciate what advice you may have about the DQ.   Thanks!

    • 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.

Until signing the Walking Possession you would not have know the seriousness of the form.

 

In the first place you will note from the wording on the form that it provides that the bailif can remove the goods listed in 5 DAYS....

 

In addition, signing a Walking Possession is your agreement to allow a bailiff to FORCE ENTRY into your home if you refuse to allow him to remove the goods.

 

You already feel bad at allowing the bailiff into your home so no more telling off.

 

The bailiff DOES NOT want to remove goods. He wants to receive payment and of course he can get sigficinat additional fees for himself for a van visit !! It is important to get details of the charges. This is because he can ONLY charge a maximum of 2 van visits BUT for the second van visit...goods MUST have been removed !!

 

Did the Walking Possesion list "exempt" items? What items are listed?

 

Next it is vital that you establish whether the bailif is legally certificated. He must have a certificate for the company that he works for. You will need to call 0203 334 6355 to confirm certification. This is important because IF the bailiff is not certificated, then the Walking Possession is not enforceable.

tv microwave laptop car ...

but the laptop and car i use for work ...

I just dont know which way to deal with this either -

pay jacobs and send that template letter saying i need longer to pay and enclose a first payment

or pay the council direct online and then tell the bailiff i am dealing with the council direct ... i think the council will point me straight back to jacobs when jacobs gets in touch with them

I am expecting another visit today but am not going to be in ... but need to deal with this in next day or so and decide which is the best way to do it ... i can afford to clear half in the next couple of weeks but then i need time to clear the balance ...

please advise ... should i go to CAB and get them involved or call the national debt helpline ???

Yes, they are exactly the items I'd have chosen.

Damn, he made a good choice.

Unless the car and the laptop already belong to someone else, you are stuffed.

If they already are the property of another then he can't touch them, and the owner should really get in touch and claim them.;)

But that was a later development, I've only got round to that after a long time.

The point is, your kindly Uncle Angus is always ready to buy stuff and let you use it, while you're having difficult times. He's a generous scot! although he's asked us to keep that quiet.

A bailiff visit is a stressful experience, most people are in shock during it and for some time afterwards.

They don't realise that the bailiff can only take stuff that belongs to them, so generally don't mention it at the time.

That's rather extreme. Bailiffs aren't really interested in the telly or a washing machine, just high ticket items such as vehicles.

It's too late for that.

 

Right now the stuff that's listed is the bailiffs property, and he's left it with you .

 

He want's cash, and unless you can show the stuff belongs to someone else, or maybe he has no certificate, he's going to get it.

 

Besides, ultimately, if you keep avoiding him, he can always get the court to agree that he can give you notice, a date and time when he'll come and force entry.

 

You must take action. I'm trying to help but you've got to get the little brain cells working. There's only so much I can say on a public site...

 

How is the microwave identified? That's the first key.

How is the laptop identified? That's the second.

Do you own the car, or have you just sold it to a trusted family member/friend.

 

 

Get it?

You should make the bailiff a sustainable offer and stick to it.

If he doesn't accept that, he can take your stuff.

 

Read all my posts again, carefully, and then you'll understand.

 

Letting him in was the most expensive mistake anyone can make - I think you know that now.

HC the bailiffs listed a laptop and a vehicle. If I was the OP I'd be tearing my hair out just about now. They are practically essentials for modern life.
