    • Same as Barclays one I have just updated on. PRA group have written back and told me they intend to proceed with claim, have also sent another stack of documents, similar to last time round. I did fill in an online income breakdown etc on their website  offering to pay them x amount of money back each month,  a couple of weeks back, they haven't acknowledged that ?  
    • Hello, I wasn't able to update the defence, so they got the daft one.  Pra Group have responded dated 25th April saying they intend to proceed with claim. I have also received a stack of documents, similar to last time - print outs of old statements, but this time around they have send me a copy of the Barclay Card Conditions. Unsigned and dated. The address is an old address.  A consumer credit agreement with current address. Pages of it and no signature. I have uploaded onto a PDF what I have. The CCA agreement looks like a generic print out, I5 pages + long, I've included the 1st page that had my details on (redacted) don't know if its necessary to upload all of it.  Barclays 26042024.pdf
    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.

    • 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.

Myself and the otherhalf recieved a letter from our lenders solicitor this morning stating that they are restarting the possession hearing that we mangaed to get stopped as our lender had not acted fairly when tring to take us to court in November 2008.

 

I will provide a little more info, at the late part of 2007 I was involved in an accident at work which resulted me being off work for several months, also in April 2008 I had to have an emergency hysterectomy which resulted in a further prolonged absence from work due to complications, on the back of all this my husband got made redundant in November 2008, so basicly put we have been missing a whole salary for around 18 months.

 

Over this period we have tried to and pleaded with our lender to reduce payments or switch to interest only and they have been firm throughout and will not help. At this monent in time the arrear stand at £8770.00.

 

My question is while we have been paying what we can afford towards the mortgage, if this matter went to a hearing has the judge the right to force a reduced payment or an interest only payment upon our lender. We have tried to be reasonable throughout but our lender has not, furthermore we have a son with a heart contidion and being kicked out of our home isn't going to help his condition.

 

Any advice anyone could give would be most welcome.

Hi there, a judge cannot alter the terms of the mortgage (but I believe there will be new powers in place soon). However, if your lender has not been reasonable in considering a payment holiday or interest only option then this will go against them in court.

 

who is the lender? Have you put your request to them in writing regarding interest only or payment holiday? If not you should do so immediately then you can show the court you have asked for help. Also, do you have any correspondence from them proving they have not been helpful?

 

If you need help with a letter please let me know and I'll draft one for you.

The mortgage company concerned is Prefered Mortgages, we have so far written to them on 4 occasions, all of our letters to them have been to get them to lower our payments and our last 2 letters we asked if we could be moved to interest only in the short term until our situation improves.

 

We got the letter from their solicitors (TLT) this morning, I rang them and recorded the phone call and explained I cannot understand as to why they have started court action again as we have had no response to our letter we sent to prefered. The guy at the solicitors said he cannot understand either but said he would try to find some information out and let us know by phone this afternoon, I am still waiting for his call. He also said he would drop a letter also in the post.

 

I have also rang Prefered Mortgages up this afternoon to ask them what is going on as we have had no response to our letters or the phone call I made to them 2 weeks ago giving them a statement of our income and expenditure they said they needed this as so they could get a specialist to look at. They said there was a backlog of cases for their specialist team to look at. That is the reason they gave for their non response, I also record this phone call.

 

Every letter we have sent them they have ignored, their response is the usual we get a letter from their solicitors not them, to be honest its frustrating and very unfair. We have also asked Prefered in all our letters we sent them to provide us with a copy of their procedure or policy for helping people in difficulty paying their mortgage, we are still waiting on this also.

 

To be honest I don't know where to start because neither the solicitor or the lender seems to know what is going on, so in my opinion they should not have restarted the court case for possession.

 

If you could offer any advice Ell-enn or draft a letter that would be great.

Yes we've got copies of all the letters we have sent to Prefered. But this is the first time we have wrote to their solicitor.

 

I have recorded all telephone calls to and from Prefered, the last phone call we made to Prefered their representative said on the phone for now the matter will proceed to court even though our financial statement in sitting in a queue to be looked at, doesn't seem very fair to me, do you think its worth sending a transcript of that telephone call to their solicitor?

Hi there, you should keep all your evidence for now and wait and see if it gets to court.

 

You need to send the letter and budget sheet to Preferred with a COPY to the solicitors as I put in my earlier post.

Hubby is applying for jobs but there are very few in his line of work, but that said he is training to be a driving instructor which there is plenty work out there for him upon completing the qualifying exams.

 

I have been unable to calculate an interest only payment but it is going to be substantially less that the £600 p/m they are currently asking for which includes repayment & interest.

 

To be honest Prefered have been one of the most awkward companies I have ever had to deal with, while we have managed to come to arrangements with our other creditors, Prefered won't budge very nasty piece of work indeed.
