    • IMG_2820-IMG_2820-merged.pdfmerged.pdf Case management was this morning. Here is the Sheriff’s order. Moved case forward to 24/05.   He said there was no signed agreement and after a bit of “erm, erm, yeah but, erm” when he asked them, he allowed time for sol to contact claimant.  what is the next step now? thank you UCM  
    • I've had a quick (well, quick for a thread of this length),  read of this thread and to be honest I'm struggling to make heads nor tails of the actual crux of the issue here. You seem awfully convinced that whatever is going on is worth the fight and the odds are in your favour but with how the thread has gone it seems that one trail goes cold so you simply move on to another in an attempt to delay the inevitable. All it does is end up digging holes and confusing others and yourself which means any advice given to you is completely pointless. I note that for the life of this thread there has not been any documentation or correspondence uploaded for people to have a look. Have you got any that you'd be willing to redact and upload for members to assist you? Right now, it seems people are shooting out advice while being in the dark because it's starting to become very difficult for people who weren't here at the start of this (including myself) to follow along. Right now, this whole thread is just hypothetical "He said, she said" and is going nowhere fast. Nothing more than basic advice can be given which, as you've sought out some legal advice, is likely not sufficient to actually come to any sort of conclusion. I, personally, am starting to agree with others that it may be best to consider bankruptcy and put the matter behind you.  
    • Thanks for coming back to us. There are no guarantees - but remember that so far MET have not had the guts to put even a single case before a judge.  Not once. Yours is one of seven court cases. Three ongoing like yours. In two MET bottled it as Witness Statement stage approached. In one the allocating judge decided their Particulars of Claim were rubbish and threw the case in the bin. Just the one victory by MET by default when the motorist stupidly didn't file a defence. So there is every chance that MET will throw in the towel in your case too if you stand firm. Please keep us informed of what is happening. Regarding being abroad, that is no reason for things going wrong, you can request an on-line hearing and we've had several cases where the PPC gave up when the motorist moved abroad. But please keep us in the loop.

    • 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 have just received an eviction notice from the mortgage company. However our circumstances in the last week have dramatically changed.

 

My sister has now got a full time job, she is now entitled to tax credit, she doesn't have to pay her other half CSA payments anymore (long story) and we are about to complete on a claim worth approx 6 grand for compensation.

 

The reason for us falling behind in the payments was my sister was made redundant however, due to working for the MOD they have now re-employed her and obviously she has to pay her redunancy money back! (which we were hoping to use to clear the arrears!)

 

So question 10 on the N244 form for us to take to court - do we put all this? will it stop the eviction ??? and as we have an eviction notice is it free???

 

We don't want to loose the house - our last option would be to ask our elderly parents for the outstanding balance - but we want to see if we can sort this out first.

 

Help someone please - question 10 is really important for the judge!

Hi there, you are correct that Q.10 is the most important part. If you can wait until this evening (I'm a bit busy at work at the moment) I can help you structure a defence statement - is that OK?

 

You should also send in an income and expenditure statment with the N244 - I have affixed the one we use to this post. Remember when filling it in, that the amount you are offering towards the arrears each month is the amount left over after everything else has been accounted for.

 

Is the house in joint names?

Thank you so much. Could you give us a few pointers about the form - are we asking the judge to suspend the warrant now our circumstances have dramatically changed?

 

Our financial situation changed due to the fact my sister was made redundant by the MOD (well her job was) however they have now asked her back and this is her first month of work (at last!) yes we struggled very much trying to pay everything off - so the mortgage did unfortunatly not get paid.

 

Yes the mortage is in joint names.

 

thank you again Ellen all your help is very helpful and may mean we can both sleep tonight and not worry ourselves sick!

Hi there, I noticed on your previous thread back in June that you advised the lender that your sister had been made redundant but had a new job - you offered the mortgage company £50 per month towards the arrears. Did you make any payments after that?

the full time job that she was offered actually fell thru in Jun/Jul this year - however her previous employers ,the MOD, have re-employed her (they made her job redundant) and she started at the beginning of August hence we paid our mortgage on 01 Sep 09.

 

And now we have received a notification of eviction.

we have spent all day calculating all our outgoings etc., and we can comfortably afford £200 per month on top of our mortgage payments.

 

We have calcuated this amount - so even if the mortgage rate increases - we will still be able to afford the mortgage plus £200.

 

thank you for all your help i know this is a complicated one !:)

How much are the arrears? are you absolutely sure you can afford £200 extra each month?

 

You say you made a payment this month, did you just pay the normal payment or was there anything towards the arrears?

 

Sorry for all the questions, but I need to know as much as possible to do the statement.

the arrears are approx 9 thousand

 

we expected the mortgage company to take our normal mortgage payment plus the agreed amount, however, upon checking we have found that they just taken the mortgage payment from our bank account (we had set up a direct debit)

 

ok what about £150 ? we can definately afford that! and if we can afford anymore we will make a further payment?

Does the £9,000 include any arrears charges? Do you have a statement showing the arrears and charges? - you asked for that in your letter sent to them in June.

hi

if possible yes we would - might mean borrowing the money but would show the mortgage company that as soon as we were able to pay the mortgage and the arrears we did so - is that what you think? and shows our committment to pay and carry on paying it as now in full time employment

i am slightly annoyed that really this is there fault as should of taken the arrears and the mortgage payment at the same time as they told us by letter they would via direct debit

 

anyway great idea :)

OK, you will need to take copies of the statements.

 

Affixed is your defence for Q.10. You need to enter the info at the top where there are XXX's and also where there are XXX's in the rest of it.

When you print it out make sure your printer is set for A4 paper (not Letter size) so it all stays on one page.

 

On the budget sheet write the claim number on the top left hand corner and Appendix 1 on the top right hand corner. Do the same on the statements except it will be Appendix 2..

 

These are the instructions for the rest of the form

 

 

1. Your names

2. Tick Defendant

3. Suspension of eviction

4. No

5. Tick at a hearing

6. 15 minutes

Agreed by all parties: No

7. Write - Not applicable

8. District

9. Both Parties

10. Tick box for attached witness statement

Cross out all options except We Believe

Sign and cross out all options except Applicant

11. Sign and cross out all options except Applicant. Enter your address and contact details.

 

 

 

 

Now assemble as follows:

N244 form

Defence Statement

Appendix 1 - budget sheet

Appendix 2 - statements

You will then need to take a copy of all of it for yourselves. Then staple the pack together and take it by hand to the court, they will give you a hearing date there and then.

Any questions, just shout.

so the story gets stranger ....

just had a letter from the mortgage comany wanting us to urgently call or send them a letter about our secure proposals to pay off the arrears on the account ?

I have tried to phone them a couple of times but 'due to unforseen circumstances they are unable to take my call at this time'

 

Should I offer to pay what our budget says we can? The mortgage plus the £150 off the arrears each month

Looking at the eviction notice it does state at the top that the claimant can stop the eviction if an arrangement has been reached?

 

slightly confused please help

 

Thanks

Julie :)

If you've got a fax number for them send them the statement from your N244 with a covering letter telling them that is what you have sent to the court as you have received an eviction notice!

we have decided to get proper legal advice from a solicitor who I think could help us and give me a defense statement that i actually understand

As after reading what you have entered into what we should put - sorry doesnt make sense to me

i know you are on this site and are trying to help people but i think that you should be telling people to seek legal advice also and not to depend on what you are saying totally which I did until I spoke to someone yesterday.

I now have actual hope that this will be resolved and that the mortgage solicitor will not have any idea what our defense is going to be in this matter.

As you never send anything to the mortgage company or their solicitors - everything goes to the Court as they are making the decision

 

I dont think i will visit this site again
