    • Perhaps you would care to read this and reflect on your continuing comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany Jugg    ALEX BRUMMER: How grotesque of pro-Palestine protesters to besmirch Auschwitz, the place where my grandparents died WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK As the son of a refugee from the horrors of the Holocaust, I can feel nothing but contempt for the ignorance, gross... My elderly aunt Sussie and cousin Sheindy had been teenagers at Auschwitz and Belsen but survived and are alive to this day. What they will make of the protesters who waved flags, heckled and chanted as Israelis took part in the March Of The Living – the annual walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau – I cannot imagine. The images now circulating of the protesters are indescribably disturbing. They can only bring back memories of those final moments Sheindy shared with my grandparents when my grandmother Fanya squeezed her hand and told her to lie about her age to avoid the gas chambers. Claiming she was older, and could work, meant that Sheindy lived, not died. The outrage perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 has brought back the most terrifying memories for these two women – memories of pillage, mutilation and starvation. The Holocaust, or Shoah to use the Hebrew word, was the deliberate, industrial-scale killing of Jews.  It is bad enough that pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas sympathisers have chosen to steal the language of the Holocaust.  Any comparison between Israel's retaliation and the monstrous genocide of the 1940s is odious and anti-Semitic
    • Thank you JK2054 and BankFodder for your replies. The information requested is as follows:   My wife and I are sole traders supplying bespoke, handmade wedding trays and other items through our website. We do not sell on ebay. We had an order for two trays (invoice value £370) that were shipped on Monday 25th March. We used P2G as the broker and Evri as the shipper. We declared the value but did not take out insurance. As the trays were a present for a wedding on Saturday 30th March we checked the progress of delivery on the Thursday to see that there had been an attempt to deliver on the 27th but the driver failed to deliver as the customer’s gate was shut (customer informs us that the gates are open between 7am-7pm. We contacted the customer who informed us she had been waiting in all week and there had been no attempt of a delivery. Evri allege they attempted to deliver on the 28th & 29th. On the P2G web site on the 4th April at 14.17 it stated that the customer refused delivery. At 14.28 it updated to say there was a problem with the address and at 14.32 updated to say the customer had refused delivery. At 14.35 updated again to say it was being returned. Last entry was on the 7th April that it was being processed at the depot. We never received it. I have had six web chats with P2G between the 4th-30th April. On the 26th April, I had an offer of £20 plus cost of delivery (£6.72) from P2G which I rejected. During this time, I also contacted Evri that resulted in an email from Evri Customer Services (20th April) stating that they had lost the parcel. I replied requesting details of the attempted delivery but received no reply. After emailing Evri again on the 23rd asking again for the information I received a phone call from someone called Haleemah on the 25th who apologised and promised to send an email with a link to submit a claim form. I subsequently received an email with the link which only took me to a page that stated “Page not found”. After informing Evri customer services of the problem (to which no reply was forthcoming) a couple of days later I retried the link but it only took me to the Evri website. I believe that I have a good case against both companies but would appreciate guidance on which path to go down. I have read most of the information on this site, which has been very helpful and much appreciated, particularly the various court transcripts. I appreciate that this process is a marathon and not a sprint and am fully aware that I need to get everything in the correct order before starting on the legal road. I am sure this covers the current position but if further info is needed please let me know.  
    • Everything at small claims revolves around informality and common sense, there are no "special" ways to have to do things. The site manager's WS will be like yours and the one I linked to - just much shorter.  There need to be the introductory hearings about the case, the parties, etc., and the concluding Statement of Truth. In the middle just a couple of paragraphs where they say who they are, how they know you, and about permission being given by the landowner to use the car park. Superb.  I've added another section about the signage to the suggested WS sections three posts above. Yes, it's perfectly possible.  It'd be a good idea to phone the court on the 18th to see if they have paid.
    • OK thank you very much. I will prepare my WS as you advise.  I will indeed be preparing the WS over the weekend. I will also post UKPC's on Wednesday by 2nd class mail. As they have until the 17th to pay the court fee, is it possible they might discontinue at that stage too? Also I wanted to ask, in what form should the site manager's statement come? And the site owner if i can contact them? I will get photos of the signage to share with you also. Thank you.

    • 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 have also posted this in "Tale of a dodgy DN"

 

 

 

I have a question?

 

Request cca from card company 2 and a half years ago along with a subject access request.

 

To this day nothing received apart from invalid default notice and letter saying "we are trying to obtain a legal copy of your agreement"

 

In the two and a half years since cca request I have received voluntary charge on house forms/requests from solicitors followed by a statutory demand which I set aside.

 

A letter from solicitors saying they are trying to obtain a legal copy of my agreement and all action on hold till they get copy.

 

Six months later another letter from solicitors saying " you set aside SD 6 months ago , would you now care to pay us this unenforceable debt".

 

Alleged debt sold on to another company represented by same solicitors which are all connected.

 

Another default notice issued from new company by same solicitors two years after original default notice.

 

County court claim form received demanding full amount.

 

 

Do I bother with any default notice issues in my defence or just no CCA game over, obviously listing the previous two and a half years of harrasment etc.

 

Regards

Santos,

 

In the first instance you would need to submit the acknowledgement of service stating you wish to defend in full (if that is what you are going to do).

 

You will then need to send a CPR31.14 request letter to the claimant/solicitor asking for all relevant documentation, including Default Notice, agreement, Notice of Assignment, Deed of Assignment, statements of account etc.

 

Please provide more details of the case if possible.

e.g post up the particulars of claim and D/N minus personal details to give people a better understanding of what is going on.

 

When was the claim form dated?

 

Regards

Hi GD

 

AOS= done

 

CPR 31.14 = done

 

Default notice = invalid

 

POC = usual, default on credit agreement, served default notice, terminated agreement, full amount due etc etc.

 

All time scales adhered to.

Hi Santos,

 

How long do you have left before the 28days is up on the AOS?

 

As I understand it, they have sent you nothing for 2 and a half years so i'm assuming that they sent nothing with the POC!

 

In that case, you still cannot defend so your next course of action would be to submit an embarressed defence. Will give them an outline of your defence or your intent to defend and you may (or may not) hear anymore. Have a look around some of the other threads along these lines. If you're still unsure i'd be happy to point you in the right direction but hopefully someone a little more knowledgeable than me will be along soon.

 

As GD says, get as much info up as poss and you'll get plenty of help.

update

 

cpr request sent and I received 8 years of statements, an application form and copy of NOA and a copy of a second default notice because they dont need to rely on the original which terminated the account 2 years ago and is invalid which I still have in its original envelope.

 

I thought once an account was terminated it cannot just be kept live as it were. They terminated account 2 years ago and I said fine take me to court and let the courts decide how much I pay you and 2 years later here I am going to court. Talk about dragging things out why didnt they do it 2 years ago?

 

I have been threatened with all kinds of nasty things and even set aside a statutory demand from these people. Can I counter claim for harrasment or anything else?

 

When I do the defence can I keep it short and sweet in reply to their POC and just note down where certain rulings on certain cases came from in relation to the CCA and certain laws and when it gets to court just have the full transcripts etc in triplicate for me the judge and the claimant.

 

Any ideas as always appreciated

 

Regards

Ok, can you scan and post up a copy of the agreement and default notice ensuring all personal info is removed.

 

In the CPR 31.14 letter did you state you would supply the defence 14 days from receiving the response?

 

As to the termination, the account can only be terminated once... you'd have to argue the toss with them in court, but they have terminated the account once, if its not live how can they terminate again..... and if they have terminated wrongly then its unlawful recession of contract I believe.

 

If you post up the docs it'll help people advise.

Hi Shadow

 

Thanks for the response. I do not have access to a scanner at the moment but the application form is just that, an application form with no prescribed terms etc.

 

The terms and conditions accompanying it could be from anywhere. There is nothing to tie the two together.

 

The account was definately terminated and the claimant confirms this in their POC.

 

I am baffled as how to proceed it seems they contradict everything they have set out in their POC.

 

Regards

 

Santos
