    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • 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

    • 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.

hi we have got an eviction notice served on us for 13/08/09,we have got a hearing on friday morning, we have contacted capstone as they sent us a letter asking us to contact them as its not to late so come to an arrangement with them.All that we got from them was they want a lump sum payment and then they will agree to our new monthly insalments,our arrears at the moment stand at £10.000,most of that is their charges :mad:,any advice on how to deal with them would be great, as the c.a.b have advised us to represent ourself's, as it would be coming from us not a solicitor(i'm not sure if i would be able to do this as i'm in no mentel state at the moment),any advice please.

 

 

thanks

Hi there, I'm assuming you have entered an N244 to get a hearing. What did you put in Q.10 of the form?

 

Do you have a statement showing the charges and the arrears?

 

If you tell me what you put in the N244 I can help you further.

hi,any help or advice would be of great help at the moment,

 

Q10:"We have attached a financial statement that has been prepared by c.a.b which confirms that my offer of payment is affordable.

 

we have had difficulty with budgetting as some of our income is received weekly and the reminder is 4 weekly.

 

we intend to make weekly payments of £125 to assist with budgetting. we have made two payments of this ammount since receiving the noticwe of eviction.

 

we have been made aware by the c.a.b of the importance of maintaining the proposed payments.

 

we have 4 dependant children and would suffer severe hardship if evicted."

 

 

the c.a.b completed the forms for us,!!!

 

we also have the last statement with the charges and arrears on

 

thanks

OK, are they claiming you owe the arrears and charges added together? If so you need to let the court know that the arrears are less than they are claiming - the charges cannot be added into the arrears amount. You can take a statement to court with you to hand to the judge showing this - I can help you write the statement if you wish.

Hello - i have been through the process a few times and although it can be mentally draining - Take heart.

- Prepare thouroughly (some smashing people on here ) with all the correct statements /forms.

- Have as much "proof" with you as possible e.g Income/benefit letters etc.

- Know the value of your house - what is it ? is it still more than you owe - in which case there asset is still safe.Is there one on internet that sold recently (as proof)

- Is there a goodtermleft on the mortgage ? Were rates so high (2007/08) which may be where the arrears originated from but now lower which means you can meet monthly payment.

- Have a clear breakdown of all costs that have been added on e.g Arrears charges,Legal costs and others Cllr visits/ D-D returned charges etc.This will give you the "true" figure

- Have the arrears fallen at all ?

- Have you had that change in circumstances that meant you could not afford the last order ?

- I have generally found that the courts do not wish to evict you (me) but you have to give them the facts to prove that you can go forward.

- Have they (lender) ever offered payment holiday,capitalising or other terms - Other than pay in full..

As i said i have (and still am) going through it but do take heart ,prepare well and good luck

PS Prior to goinginto to see the DJ- The opposition may after you have signed in come and talk (chat)to you and attempt to glean information that they could use in the hearing - keep your powder dry till you are in there (i got caught once -never again)

Hi there, affixed is the statement to take to court.

 

You will need to fill in the information where I have put XXX's in the top part (remove the XXX's). The information will be on the eviction notice.

 

Take a photocopy of the mortgage payments sheet and write the claim number on the top right hand corner. This will need to be affixed to the statement.

 

You will need 3 copies of the above. One for the judge, one for yourself and one for the other side. Hand it to the other side's representative just before you go into court so they don't have a chance to ring Capstone before going in;)

 

As this is your application to court the judge will speak to you first, you need to say to the judge "Sir/Madam may I please present further information" and hand it over.

 

Are you absolutely sure you can afford the higher arrears payment you have offered?

Just wanted to give a quick post of reassurance.

If you can offer what you state in your posts, you really have nothing to worry about.

It may be worth thinking about explaining to the DJ why you can afford more than the Suspended Possession Order amount now, e.g. what has changed to mean you can afford to pay now.

Hi there, you have a good defence against possession. Stay positive and calm tomorrow - speak slowly and clearly when the judge asks you a question (he/she will know you are nervous and make allowances).

 

Can you take proof with you of the payment you made today? (print out of bank statement if you have on line banking?)

 

I'm sure it will be ok. Let us know what happened as soon as you can.

 

Good Luck- I'll be thinking about you :)
