    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. 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 noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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.

We offer a Business Class, two day definite delivery service, or you can choose our Economy three day definite option..

 

If they were try to argue that they use the 2 day 'business class' might that hold water?

Oh dear !!!!

 

UKMail have changed their description of their mail services.

 

You'll need to look for a cached version of the old descriptions.

 

If I find it, I'll post it up.

 

However, see what Restons say about the delivery service, they may state Royal Mail. ;)

It might also be worth having a look through this as well -

well well well,

 

your post threw up a useful bit of information apart from the above thread

 

UK mail does not collect on a Saturday or Sunday (or bank holiday)

 

and i have some DN's allegedly dated on a Saturday and which the creditors are stating were served on me on the Monday- must get them to make a binding statement !!

 

thanks

I think the salient point, in my case, is that UK Mail delivered it to Royal Mail- who then delivered it to me- so maybe it could be argued that the clock only starts once it enters to Royal Mail postal system?

Interestingly, when inspecting the envelope in conjunction with the guide (Thanks SS), the UK Mail insignia is missing from my envelope. The guide appears to indicate that this is mandatory.. I wonder if its a deliberate omission to throw consumers off the case?

That's a very good point to argue especially when put alongside their statement under 'Compensation'...

 

The Customer acknowledges that UK Mail is required to use Royal Mail for the final delivery, and

accordingly is not able to offer any assurance as to the actual delivery day of any Mailing Item.

 

1.

Under S7 of the Interpretation Act 1978 service by post is deemed to have been effected, unless the contrary has been proved, at the time when the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.

2.

To avoid uncertainty as to the date of service it will be taken (subject to proof to the contrary) that delivery in the ordinary course of post was effected:-

(a)

in the case of first class mail, on the second working day after posting;

(b)

in the case of second class mail, on the fourth working day after posting.

"Working days" are Monday to Friday, excluding any bank holiday.

3.

Affidavits of service shall state whether the document was dispatched by first or second class mail. If this information is omitted it will be assumed that second class mail was used.

4.

This direction is subject to the special provisions of RSC Order 10, rule 1(3) relating to the service of originating process

 

As 'Business Post' was not considered in the above,then the item should not even be considered to have been posted until such time as it arrives with the Royal Mail which should be accepted under the law as the date of posting because as stated above the only true First class or Second class mail is that provided by the only recognised service,Royal mail.

But their post doesn't even enter the Royal Mail network for at least 24 hours.

 

It seems their quest to save money should add substantially to their service times. I think that could probably be argued effectively?

Unless it can be universally accepted that the time allowed for postage only starts when the item is received by the Royal Mail then you or anyone could set up a letter delivery service offering to deliver within say 5 days or whatever and then calling that particular service as your 'First Class' service.

 

I have little doubt that a Q.C. could present an excellent argument on this point which would probably be accepted in court,but whether the same argument presented in court by a L.I.P. would carry the same weight is somewhat doubtful.

 

As is seen time and time again when reading through threads on here,everything is open to interpretation and even those 'set in stone' often fail in court if not fully understood by the judges,whose knowledge of consumer law can appear to vary somewhat.

File it and wait for their list then you can exchange simultaneously as advised by the court (even if its 2 weeks late):cool:

Thanks Andy.

 

Would you recommend I revise my list? I haven't included much, as the 'agreement' and 'DN' will no doubt be part of their submission and are the same as mine.

 

I saw no reason to duplicate, but am I being naive? I probably ought to submit their witness statement referring to first class post just in case they chose to lose it...

You submit anything that you intend to use to help win your case the smallest detail (the envelope for eg).A good n265 if used correctly can lead to them running for the hills.You would be surprised how many cases i have dealt with were it has not proceeded past the N265;)

Top man- thanks for that. I'll try and give it my undivided attention tomorrow in considerable detail.

 

I'm hoping the UK Mail envelope, combined with the statement that they always send first class (I'll also include every other envelope that I've ever had as they're all UK Mail) should prove difficult to overcome?

Anything that strikes fear into their case but dont exchange until you have received theirs they dont call the shots.

Would I include a printout of any case law I intend to rely on?
No

 

Just noticed an admission in their skeleton argument for the SO hearing that there was a 'late payment' charge included in the DN. Can I use this?
Yes unfair charge
