    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to 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.

Hi I visited Ingress Park on 20th September 2009 and parked in a Visitors Bay overnight. The parking sign was Central Ticketing. I received a parking ticket from OPC but they had no signs up. Their office informed me the signs had been stolen! Why were C T Signs still there saying I could park. After several letters now have a court letter from Northampton. Trying to get the right defense letter together as soon as possible. Any helpful information please. Thanks

Thats my question it seems stupid that they think they can even give me a ticket. But they have and after several calls I now have this court letter. I did not enter a CONTRACT of PARKING with them as there was no signage. I hope the courts see how stupid this is. I'm not sure of any legal terms or acts that could apply. Thanks for your interest

Correct! It is their responsibility to ensure signs are in place. Only the driver is potentially liable. Only actual loss is claimable. Also best you check to see if court papers are properly stamped as ppc's do present false papers to frighten you.

If it ever actually gets to court, which looks doubtful, I think it should be a very short case;

 

Judge to OPC - So the defendant entered a contract with you?

OPC - Yes.

Judge - How?

OPC - We have a contract with the landowner and had signs up

Judge - So the defendant saw these signs?

OPC - No, they'd been stolen.

Judge - So how did the defendant know you controlled the car park?

OPC - They didn't but we've been doing it for ages so they should know.

Judge - So there was no contract for them to read really?

OPC - No

Judge - No contract, no case! Case dismissed.

Have a claim number for Northampton(CCBC) County Court and response pack all in the court name. I am a law bideing citizen so I find this quite distressing that this can happen!! Can anybody stick a piece of paper on your property and demand money?

 

PM me your email address, I have a defence for you. You will need to tailor it to suit your situation though.

 

A claim form is nothing to be that concerned about, it just needs to be dealt with. Ensure you file the Acknowledgement of Service within the next two weeks.

 

OPC rely on winning by default judgement.

Court letter or particulars of claim ? have you checked with northampton that it is a filed case ? do you have photos of the non-signage ? if they have replaced the signs since then you will have to counter that. even if the signs were there - which is denied - could OPC make a valid offer to park ? do they have sufficient landowner rights ? probably not, most contract with landowners are to 'manage the car park' and do not give sufficient rights to make the offer to park (or to benefit from income the drivers). get the actual contract into the case via CPR as document upon which the claimant depends. part 18 of CPR if I remember it correctly. best start your own thread. CPR - Rules and Directions - Ministry of Justice

Hi guys, an update from me...I have returned home from a weekend away to find I have received a Claim form from OPC from Northampton County Court, complete with Claim number. I haven't yet checked whtehter this has been filed with Northampton County court - but having checked on Moneyclaim.gov.uk, the claim is there.

 

I obviously intend to dispute the entire claim, but was just wondering if anyone could help me draft a defence response. There's a small box on the defence form, and I'm not sure what kind of information to include/excude? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

PS - Is it normal to feel both nervous and excited by this all?

Unfortunately they can. I'm currently going through the court process with OPC and have found out that you don't even need to pay the £25 to the court system until 4 weeks before the case is to be heard. So they can use this to pressure their victims for some months before the case would be heard and then can even back out at no cost to themselves - unless they are classified as a vexatious litigant in which case they cannot use this online system. With the recent news of 8 losses :grin: lets hope that judgement is not far away. (Although I suspect they will just set up as a new company and/or sell the "debt" on.)

any links to it please ?

All dealt through email I'm afraid. Up to the defendant if he wants to report, but briefly their poor signage was deemed enough.

 

For balance and to prove I'm not biased, Minster Baywatch won a case by default last week because the defendant could not attend court on the day, but didn't tell the court.

Sounds like OPC are going for loss 7 out of 7.

 

Please PM me with your email address for help, unless GuidoT above is sorting you out.

 

Hi Sorry i dont know how to start a new thread!

Take your pick:

 

Poor signage / no contract with land owner / unenforceable contractual penalty / contempt of court / taking keeper to court instead of driver / not turning up on the day / throwing in towel before the day

 

OPC seem to go for a new reason for losing with every case. The one underway at the moment is no signage whatsover, so they're going for another one to add to the list.

 

Your paperwork is usual. Look out for fake or genuine court papers. With most they give up.

Any court can deal with the claim. They frequently come from Northampton as it is a bulk clearing court and where Money Claim on Line starts from.

 

If from Dartford County Court, you will be able to tell if it is authentic as it would have claim number and be sealed by the court.

 

OPC do commence proceedings sometimes.
