    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise
    • Right that's exactly why so many drivers got caught, it had been that way for many years then suddenly changes with no warning
    • The hearing is 25th June, I have downloaded items to different organisations previously but they do it a simple way and I just cross out private things with a felt tip and sent to an email address.  I have looked at the instructions for CAG it seems extremely complicated especially this about having to use a system MSPAINT.EXE that removes your personal information. I am hoping one of my Grandchildren understands things to give me help, I have shown one of my daughters she said she does not understand the instructions. I have a PC and I mainly use a lap top, as previously advised I only understand the straightforward things, sending an email and using my scanner to send a document that I save in a file or send it to an email. I will try and find someone to help me, thanks for your help you have given me so far appreciate it

    • 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.

I think you have a good chance provided you can get in front of a judge next week. I'm really surprised you were advised not to ask for a hearing.

actually i was, but he has been right on many other matters and i was in a flap so i didn't really question it just checked that i'd read him right..........

 

i am really scared.......it seems weird that all last friday i was told by capstone that it had been referred to a manager & that i would have a decision by close of play that day.......

perhaps i should have rung them but i had no more money to pay them and as i say i am scared........i think i will be able to pay the cmi + £140 next week and it did cross my mind that that was what they are waiting for.........?

 

Thanks for your help, I am really glad to have you helping, i've seen how terrific you are with others, so again thanks

Hello Kay2620,

 

I'm going through the first stages of contacting the courts with my N1 Claim form for monies owed by two companies.

 

I've had some great practical advice from other Caggers regarding an unrelated issue so from that, I can confirm that you are in very good hands here.

 

Please continue taking their advice and I wish you all the best.

 

 

Regards,

AdvS1.

Hi

Thank you for all your support, it helps :)

 

right today i went to the court to get a hearing date......and was told that they hadn't received my n244 etc........it was hand delivered, the lady also said that the other side's solicitors had rung them........and that she couldn't accept the copy that i had with me as they were copies of benefit letters.

 

So I am going back tomorrow with the original benefit letters. I was told that my hearing would be next Monday..........

 

I have also had a letter from Capstone saying that they have received the eviction date and i was to comply with the terms set out...no mention of my last offer of payment plan .......just saying even at this late stage they would rather not evict me/us.......i am planning on ringing them tomorrow but hopefully i will have advice from here as to the best things to say to get it stopped........please!

I am not sure you should trust them completely.

 

I understand that time is short and that you want to get things sorted so if you do call them explain

 

you have made an offer and that is all you can afford and that what you have entered in your N244 is your current position and nothing has changed. Explain you are not impressed that they have not replied to your previous written proposals.

 

If they do agree to your offer say you need confirmation in writing that the hearing is cancelled.

 

If you get that also confirm with the court that it has been cancelled.

 

Do not make any agreement you can not afford or that will cause you to get into further debt by borrowing for anyone else.

 

Get your note book ready and best of luck!

As it's Kay's application for a hearing, she would need to cancel - and I wouldn't do that unless Capstone withdraw the eviction warrant (and you'd need to check with the court they'd done it!)

ok...so am i best to ring capstone again tomorrow to try to get the eviction stopped?

And what is the best way to get them to cancel the eviction?

 

I should be able to pay some more money to them on Friday........i basically missed 2 payments after the original court suspension of possession.......which comes to £750...... this months' payment with the new extra monthly payment that i proposed is £513........i paid £500 2 weeks ago so if i paid £760 i would be up to date........i should be able to do this on friday..........what so you think?

 

Again thanks

I would put your offer to them, if they don't accept it we will put together a good defence for your hearing. Make the payment on Friday in any event, this will show the court you are committed to your proposal.

I would just tell them what you can pay on Friday and will they stop the eviction as it will bring your payments under the original order up to date. If you ask them what they want they will probably say they need the full arrears:rolleyes:

Evening Everybody

Well a hectic day, not sure how far I have actually got but........

 

First thing this morning I rang Capstone and was told that my payment plan had been refused......she said that she was concerned that i had recently done 2 payment plans, one showed a minus income against outgoings, but the second one showed some disposable income. I explained that the first one had been done on the phone with no preparation as i hadn't prepared a budget at that point and I said several "no this isn't right I cant remember the figures": the second one was done with the help of National Debtline & took me most of the day and was accurate. She said she was concerned that if DWP didn't pay then the plan would fail and that was probably why the managers had turned it down. I explained that I had done that plan on the premise that DWP wasn't going to be paid......I also told her I will pay a further £760 on Friday which by my calculation, with the £500 I paid at the beginning of August, would bring my account back in line with the court order. To which she said "No, the court order was set in December and you have only paid May's payment" I said " I was told it was June & July only" but no I haven't paid Jan, Feb, Mar,Apr or Jun:( I explained that it was because I hadn't had any money, but now my money was sorted I could now move forward and pay as per the ppp. On that basis she said she would put the proposal to the management again and could I fax some proof of benefits.

This I have done. She said that the total not paid since the court order (suspended repossession) is £2037, so when i pay £760 on Friday I am still £677 short of clearing the back arrears.

 

I also went back to the court today, as they wouldn't accept my application because I had copied the proofs for the fee exemption.......I now have a date for a hearing on 15th Aug at 10o'clock for 5 mins.

 

There is still no sign of anything from DWP and I have rung and explained (again)because the way the capstone lady spoke it was that unless the DWP pay they are going to press ahead with the eviction and i said that i haven't got any faith in the dwp as they have lost my claim 5 times and there is no guarantee that they will reply by the 19th, which is why i have made my proposal on the basis that they dont pay......

 

So what do you think?

Regards

Kay

Re the hearing - 15th August is Saturday - is that right?

OK, make the payment on Friday that you said you would, if you have online banking print off proof of the payment.

 

You then need to harass the DWP until you get an answer - tell them you are being evicted on 19th and you need a letter in your hand before the end of the week.

 

We can draft a statement for you to take to court with you after you have made the payment on Friday - and hopefully you will have something from the DWP.

Ok thanks Ell

 

One thing though, when I went to dwp about my esa, she showed me my screen & on there it showed that i had been turned down for mortgage help.....

I haven't had any letter though.......but I haven't chased it because I felt that a "maybe" was better than a "no", what do you think?

Can you make the payments without the mortgage help? Have you investigated the Mortgage Rescue Scheme?

Yes I can, as I said to Capstone this morning, I worked the plan out on the premise that we WOULDN'T get help. It wont be easy but ........

 

I have looked briefly at Mortgage Rescue but I am not sure if we would qualify.. I have also just being looking at Shelter's site and they say on the pre-action protocols that if the lender refuses a ppp then they have to notify in writing within 10 working days.......I did put a plan forward on 29th/30th July and haven't had a letter........does that help me at all?

I think that protocol applies to "pre-action" i.e. before the start of possession proceedings.

Evening All

Well I am feeling a lot happier tonight than I did this time yesterday....

 

I rang Capstone to check that they had received my fax, which they had but he wasn't sure about my budget sheet, i had done a lot of the workings out weekly & they talk monthly. So i redid the budget sheet and on the fax header page repeated my offer (again).

 

I rang back again to see if they had received it ........the guy said he'd check if it had come through. I was on hold for ages, but then he came back & said that my proposal had been accepted :) I asked if he would put it in writing, he said that they would do that after I had paid on Friday........

 

So I think a good result, now i just have to keep to it & hope that they actually tell the solicitors to stop the action.

 

Am I best of going to court still on Monday?

 

Many thanks

Kay
