    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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.

It's a different claim, I had one set aside with this lot again that was with HFC, in my stupidity I missed this as the first one had claim number and a ref number I got that mixed up with this one so did not act at the same time as the other one.

Hi herbie

 

The detailed rules at on the Court serfvice site at CCR ORDER 27 - ATTACHMENT OF EARNINGS - Ministry of Justice

 

There should be a hearing of the application unless you accept he debt is owed. Otherwise you need to set down a set aside application and oppose the A of E application.

Mortimer clark has applied for an Attachment of earnings

Is it possible to delay this move?, as I wish to apply for a set aside for this account.

 

Hi herbie

 

Sorry if I seem to be hi-jacking your thread slightly but I seem to be in a similar position to you in that I've also just received notification from my local court that MC has applied for an AoE order.

 

Maybe we could make some comparisons because I'm just wondering now whether the details of the application are similar to mine, as I'm thinking that MC may be trying to hoodwink the court by possibly acting unlawfully.

 

In my case the application refers to a judgement obtained against me by HFC/Restons just over 2 years ago before I found CAG, (the claimant obviously being HFC).

 

Then almost 1 year ago Marlin/Phoenix claimed to have purchased/been assigned this debt.

 

Since then, during the last few months I have received several phone calls and a couple of letters from Mortimer Clarke (none of which I have responded to). The most recent letter warning me that MC were going to apply for an AoE order, received a couple of weeks or so ago, on Mortimer Clarke notepaper was headed;

Re; Phoenix Recoveries(UK) Ltd Sarl-Potomac Recoveries

-v-

Robcag

Claim No [judgement claim no]

We refer to the above matter and in particular the judgement obtained against you by our client on xx/xx/2007 .... etc etc

However, and this is where my suspicions are aroused :eek:, the Notice of Application for Attachment of Earnings Order names the Claimant as 'HFC Bank Ltd', absolutely no mention of Marlin/Phoenix, and the 'Address for Payment' is entered as Mortimer Clarke Solicitors, etc. BN11 1QP.

 

Short of banging in a set aside application (complicated at the moment I think :confused:) I am now wondering if I can make some sort of application of my own to oppose the application by MC, whilst at the same time proving the unlawfulness of their action for reasons such as not naming the true beneficiary of the AoE order, and even if they have legal right at all to the debt.

 

Again, sorry to hi-jack, but hopefully we have some similarities in our cases. ;)

 

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob

 

That is the same as mine HFC from Restons and now MC I have put an application to have the judgement set aside, this is the second one from MC last time I ask for the judgement to set aside they did not oppose it and had filed a discontinuance, this one slipped under my radar, but for sure this is the same as yours, as for what you said I think someone with a bit more know how would need to advise

if the payments are being kept up then no grounds as far as I know, but when it changed from reston to MC I stopped paying, and now I am asking for a set aside, but really I want a second bite of the cherry, because I dont think they have an enforceable agreement

Hi herbie

 

I'd like to put in an application to have the original judgement set aside (I've been threatening that for a long time :rolleyes: and the judgement is now just over 2 years old :-|) but it seems a bit complicated because of the number of parties involved (HFC then Marlin/Phoenix). Also, I'm not sure how much detail to put on the application form - a brief outline, or the full works.

 

The main grounds I have are no enforceable agreement and invalid Default Notice, but I admitted the debt in the original claim, due to not knowing I could defend the claim prior to finding the CAG site. Since then, with the help of pt2537 and other caggers (couldn't have managed without :)) I successfully defended a second (separate) similar case from HFC/Restons; http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/124572-hfc-no-agreement-amended.html

 

However, I've sort of chickened out a bit with this one so far :(.

Interesting points ...

 

On what grounds could they ask for AoE, especially if the judgement payments were being kept up? I'm asking because I could potentially end up in the same situation with the same parties involved.

 

In my case the order was a 'forthwith' order, which I believe means I was supposed to pay the full amount forthwith (I didn't get my 'day in court' which I was hoping for, not that it would have done me any good as I had no idea of the process involved).

 

if the payments are being kept up then no grounds as far as I know, but when it changed from reston to MC I stopped paying, and now I am asking for a set aside, but really I want a second bite of the cherry, because I dont think they have an enforceable agreement

 

However, prior to the court case I had made few monthly token payments direct to HFC and when the judgement had been made I contacted Restons by phone (worried and bewildered) and asked what I could do now. To my amazement the person I spoke to had a completely different attitude than she had prior to the CCJ being issued and agreed that I could continue paying the same small amount each month, but that I had to pay Restons direct (she advised me to pay by Standing Order and gave me Restons bank details to facilitate that).

 

Restons then went ahead and banged in an application for a Charging Order against my house which they obtained because yet again at the time I did not know I could oppose it.

 

I have continued to pay Restons without fail every month since then.

 

Cheers

Rob

Rob I had a charging order against our house for £11,500 Restons got it back in 2006, was paying evey month, then they sold to Mc or who ever and I stopped paying , a few letters later I applied to set aside, on the grounds that I did not attend court and knew nothing of this order, the rest is history they did not attend, and just had a cheque for £75 for the set aside fee and telling me they are informing the land registry to remove the charge

 

Go for it, it's only £75

Hi herbie

 

Thanks for the encouragement, and sorry for clogging up your thread.

 

My Charging Order was for just over £10,000 but I'm not clear whether it was ever made final or if it's still an Interim order. The difference is with my case, as I pointed out above, I did know about the case so I can't claim that it was all done without my knowledge. If only it were, he says wishfully ....

 

It's not the £75 that's stopped me going ahead!

 

Cheers

Rob

What does the land registry say?

 

Hi sequenci

 

I've just dug out a document ('Official copy of register of title') from the land registry provided to me by my building society, dated 24/09/2008.

 

There is a section which says (under Title Absolute);

(xx.xx.2007) RESTRICTION: No disposition of ........ HFC Bank Limited at Restons Solicitors Limited of 800 Mandarin Court, ...... WA1 1GG being the person with the benefit of an
interim charging order
........

 

Well thanks for pointing me in the right direction and clearing that question up for me! :)

 

Sorry to be so dumb! :rolleyes:

 

Cheers

Rob, do you have a hearing date for the charge to be made final?

 

Hi sequenci

 

No. I'm not really sure what's going on.

 

This is one of several cases which I've seen on here in which HFC/Restons obtained a CCJ then allegedly sold/assigned the debt to Marlin/Phoenix.

 

Cheers

Rob in light of what you were saying the claimant on my order was HFC not Merlin so you may have a point

Another thing you might try say you can not read :D I could try that, but would I put that in writing? :rolleyes:

I'm not sure which point of mine you are referring to?

 

My original claimant (who obtained the CCJ/CO) was also HFC. :confused:

I think I see what you mean.

 

I'm not sure if you're aware, but almost a year ago several people on here reported that their HFC account/debt (including some with CCJs already on them) had allegedly been transferred to Marlin/Phoenix, at least that was what Marlin/Phoenix were claiming.

 

Nothing was received from HFC (or Restons) by way of a Notice of Assignment (i.e. 'goodbye'), but Marlin/Phoenix had sent out a load of letters ('hello') which purported to be a NoA, but it was arguable whether or not at least some of which were invalid.

 

Mortimer Clarke (as you will be aware) are the tame in-house solictors of Marlin/Phoenix, even sharing the same trough, and they only put in an appearance when Marlin/Phoenix were getting nowhere with their phone calls and threats.

 

Cheers

Rob
