    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

The agreement they sent me DOES NOT contain the prescribed terms and is from 2003.

Are there any templates I can use for my response.

 

Thanks

HI Babybear

 

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately noone else has replied and the date by which I need to reply is fast approaching.

 

I know the agreement/application form does not contain the prescibed terms etc. I just need to know what defence do I enter on the claim form and do I 'deny the debt', 'accept the debt' or 'partially accept'.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Thanks CitizenB and Babybear39 & I've got no money.

 

The debt is over £15k and the POC is typed at the bottom of this message.

 

The claim form was issued on the 1st of May and I have today filed an AoS defendsing the total claim. I have also made a CPR 31.14 request using a template i have found on this site asking for a copy of the agreement and default notice. They did already forward me the 'agreement' which they called an application form, when I did a CCA a few months ago. But the 'application form/ agreement' does not contain the prescribed terms.

 

I'm not sure whether account charges are included in the claim.

 

I'm not sure whether I have had a defualt notice as when I firast got into trouble I had 10 of these guys on my back.

 

"By an agreement in writing & regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, the Claimants issued to the Defendant a credit-token, Lloyds Asset Card, for the purpose of the Defendant acquiring goods/services on credit.

2. Clause 7 of the agreement provided that the Claimants would furnish the Defendant with a monthly statement showing the balance currently due, the minimum payment to be made & the date for payment. If the balance was not paid, then provided the Defendant made the minimum payment on or before such date, the remainder of the balance should remain outstanding & the Defendant should pay interest upon it per month in accordance with clauses 8 & 9 of the agreement.

3. In breach of the agreement, the Defendant failed to make payment & on XX/XX/07 the Claimants issued a Default Notice pursuant to section 87(i) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974

4. On XX/XX/07 the Claimants did issue a Formal Demand to the Defendant.

5. THE CLAIMANTS THEREFORE CLAIM THE BALANCE DUE UNDER THE AGREEMENT:£XXXXX.XX

 

 

Thanks

My immediate reaction is that its' going to be unenforceable - if there are any accont charges then the D/N is going to be questionable.

 

Have you got any documents - such as the D/N - did you actually receive it - or any statements

 

At this stage I think that we see if they reply to the CPR 31.14 and what that turns up. If you've not had a response in around 10 days then we can help with a holding defence

They have put on the POC that you have breached clause 7, 8 and 9 of the agreement.

 

This has proved fatal in some instances where the clause they say you have breached doesnt correspond with the actual terms. So that could be something worth checking (if you have the paperwork to check):)

Hi Everyone

 

Thanks for your help.

 

I'm still awaiting a reply to my CPR request.

 

Also I have checked clause 7. And it is nothing to do with terms and conditions but details how you can balance transfer. Also there is no cluase 8 and 9 which are also mentioned in the POC.

 

Regards

Hi 42Man

 

Thanks for that.

 

I still havent received any paperwork from their soliciotors as per my CPR request.

 

Can I simply ask the court to throw this out as the plaintiffs have not provided any paperwork?

 

Or should I put in a long winded defence like the one that you have referred me to . I havent received anything form my CPR request however I did receive a copy of my applciation form a few months ago which is flawed and doesnt contain the prescribed terms etc. etc.

 

Ideally I would like to have this thrown out or delayed so that I have more time to digest other threads and prepare a good defence.

 

I have to send something in by tomorrow so any advice would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

 

IW

As the 1st is tomorrow at this stage you need to file a defence.

 

I'd also suggest that, if you haven't done so yet that you do a chasing letter to the other side - give them 7 days to respond in full to your CPR request - tell them that if they don't that you'll apply to the court for an Order.

 

If you have already done a chasing letter - make an application on an N244 for an Order that they comply

Thanks for that.

 

Can my defence simply be "Plaintiff has failed to respond to a CPR request" or do I need to be more elaborate?

 

Thanks

 

IW

 

Unfortunately it needs to be a bit more elaborate a failure to respond to a CPR Request isn't a defence per se - it is a reason to put in a defence which explains why the defence is very limited

Hi

 

Ok, thanks for that.

 

I have come across this, would this be suitable to buy some more time?

 

 

1. The Defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof that an agreement was entered into between the Defendant and Lloyds TSB

 

2.The Defendant is embarrassed and is in difficulty at pleading as matters stand

 

3 On the 9th May 2009 and pursuant to CPR 31.14 the Defendant made a request for copies of documents that the Claimant had pleaded. The Claimant as of June 1st 2009 has failed to comply. The Defendant contends that it is unreasonable to refuse such a request.

 

4 Accordingly the Defendant cannot plead any further without production of the documents which form the basis of the Claimants case

 

5.The Defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof of assignment of any debt owed by the Defendant to the Claimant.

 

6. In any event, the Defendant denies that the Claimant has shown a cause of action and the Defendant denies that he is indebted to the Claimant at all

 

Thanks

 

IW

I'm obviously missing something here.

 

What was the wording of your CPR request?

 

Can you post a edited version of the CCA up?

 

Have you received a Default Notice?

 

Do you still have your cards?

 

Are you making any payments? Basically, why has this ended up in a Court claim?

Hi

 

1) I have put an edited version of my request below.

 

2) I cant remember if I ever received a default notice as when I got into trouble I had ten different banks harassing me.

 

3) No, I do not have the cards anymore.

 

4) I had agreed low monthly payments but then paid a credit clear company to help. To cut a long story short the credit clear company asked me to stop making payments (big mistake) while it investgated the agreement BUT the credit clear company failed to handle the case properly. It is now with a more reputable company but in the meantime court action has started.

 

5) I asked for a copy of the agreement a few months ago and recieved an application form with no prescribed terms.

 

Any advice appreciated as I need to file tomorrow

 

Thanks

Re: Lloyds TSB Bank PLC v

CPR 31.14 Request

 

On the xxxx I received the Claim Form in this case issued by you out of the Northampton County Court.

 

I confirm having returned my acknowledgement of service to the court in which I indicate my intention to contest all of your claim.

 

Prior to the issue of proceedings I had delivered a request for the production of the agreement mentioned in the Claim Form and on which you rely. No such agreement has been received. However an application form purported to be the agreement was received and is currently being audited by specialist solicitors.

Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of each of the following documents mentioned in your Particulars of Claim:

 

1) The agreement compliant with the CCA 1974. You will appreciate that in an ordinary case and by reason of the provisions of CPR PD 16 para 7.3, where a claim is based upon a written agreement, a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s) should be available at the hearing. Further, that any general conditions incorporated in the contract should also be attached.

 

2) The default notice

 

You should ensure compliance with your CPR 31 duties and ensure that the document(s) I have requested are copied to and received by me within 7 days of receiving this letter. Your CPR 31 duties extend to making a reasonable and proportionate search for the originals of the documents I have requested, the better for you to be able to verify the document's authenticity and to provide me with a legible copy. Further, where I have requested a copy of a document, the original of which is now in the possession of another person, you will have a right to possession of that document if you have mentioned it in your case. You must take immediate steps to recover and preserve it for the purpose of this case.

 

Where I have mentioned a document and there is in your possession more than one version of that same document owing to a modification, obliteration or other marking or feature, each version will be a separate document and you must provide a copy of each version of it to me. Your obligations extend to making a reasonable and proportionate search for any version(s) to include an obligation to recover and preserve such version(s) which are now in the possession of a third party.

 

In accordance with CPR 31.15© I undertake to be responsible for your reasonable copying costs incurred in complying with this CPR 31.14 request.

 

If you require more time in which to comply with this request you must tell me in writing. You must tell me before the time for compliance with this request has expired. In telling me you require more time you must tell me what steps you have taken and propose to take in order to comply with this request and also state a date by when you will comply with this request. In addition your statement must be accompanied with a statement that you agree to an extension of the time for me to file my defence. Your extension of time must be not less than 14 days from the date when you say you will have complied with my request and you must state the new date for filing my defence.

 

If you are unable to comply with this request and believe that you will never be able to comply with this request you must tell me in writing.

 

Please note that if you should fail to comply with this request, fail to request more time or fail to agree to an extension of time for the filing of my defence, I will make an application to the court for an order that the proceedings be struck out or stayed for non-compliance and a summary costs order.

 

I do hope this will not be necessary and look forward to hearing from you."
