    • There's no facility for a settlement "out of court" as such. But matters that are started under the "Single Justice" (SJ) Procedure can often be concluded without the defendant appearing. The SJ procedure, as the name suggests, involves a single magistrate, sitting in an office with a legal advisor, dealing with matters "on papers" only. Nobody else can attend. The SJ deals with straightforward guilty pleas. Anything where the SJ believes the defendant should appear, or which should be dealt with by the "ordinary" court are adjourned o a hearing in the normal magistrates'  court .As well as this, all defendants have the right to a hearing in the normal court if they wish. Nobody is forced to have their case heard under he SJP.  In particular, as far as traffic matters go, a SJ will not disqualify a driver and if a ban is to be considered, the case will be passed over to the normal court. Because, following your SD, you will be pleading Not Guilty (and offering the "deal"), your case would usually be heard in the normal court, meaning a personal appearance. To be honest, performing your SD at the court is a more straightforward way of doing things. It avoids any possible hitches involved in serving he SD on the court. But of course, as I said, most courts have backlogs which mean an SD may not be quickly accommodated. If you do end up doing your SD before a solicitor, check with them the protocol for serving it on the court. Do let us know what the solicitor says about Wednesday.

    • Quotes of the day penny mordaunt came out swinging with her broadsword, and promptly decapitated sunak while Nigel Farage, representing Reform UK, made contentious claims about immigration policies, which were swiftly fact-checked during the debate.   Good question though raised at labour about the 2 child benefit cap, which I broadly agree with, but the tory 'trap' assumes tory thinking - rather than child centric thinking. There should be no incentives to have kids as a financial way of life paid for by everyone else ... ... BUT the kids should not be made to suffer for the decisions of their parents Free school meals would feed the kids, improve their ability to learn, and incentivise them to go to school. As an added benefit ... it would invest in our nations future.   How far this should go is a matter for costing, social intent and future path of the nation, but not feeding our nations kids is an abomination. There should be at least one free school meal per day for every child who attends school. Full Stop. Its the cheapest and most effective investment in our future we could make.
    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx

    • 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.

Yes, I think its invalid too, but just wanted confirmation from one or two others. I suppose my next step is do nothing until they terminate, which they state they will do.

thanks for the reply

Receiving it today, the 9th, means only 12 days.

 

If you only received it today giving you only 12 days to rectify the default, then it will be invalid.

14 days are required, so yes I would agree, wait and see if they terminate.

law states that any other postage other then royal mail 1st class is deemed to be 2nd class which requires 4 working days after the date of postage before it can be deemed as served.

 

Yeah it defiantly invalid. It wasn't MBNA was it?

 

so wait for them to terminate and then send them a letter confirming that you accept their unlawful termination of your agreement/contract and on the back of an invalid default notice. also that you denie them your permission to reinstate the agreement, as in order to reissue a valid default notice to correct their mistake they need to reinstate the agreement which they can not do without your consent.

Hi there.

 

Your DN wouldnt be from MBNA would it? I received one too yesterday, dated 4th, received 9th asking unfortunately for arrears, and given until 21st to remedy when they have promised they will terminate (hurray!!!). My envelope is UK Mail with the S in the top corner, I am taking this as second class post and also calculate that I have legally until 24th.

There is no such thing as a 0% credit card....... someone out there is paying for it, and for once its not going to be me.:razz:

one i got was dated 12/08/09 received 18/08/09 and gave me to the date before the 29/08/09 so invlaid for that reason and also invalid cos the idiots went and sold the debt on the the 17/08/09 the day before i recieved the DN, effectively terminated the agreement when they sold it, so unlawful termination lol. Oh and the twits registered the default on my credit file on the 31st july 09, thought they couldnt do that till after a valid notice was issued and the 14 days had elapsed.

 

Oh and yes the S is second class but it would matter if it was first class as law states only royal mail 1st class is deemed 1st class and any other mailing firm is deemed as 2nd class regardless

No Idea, your going to be our guineapig! :D

 

No there are set guidelines that have to be strictly adhered to in order for the DN and any further action to be taken.

 

But I'm sure you'll be able to tell us otherwise;)

 

Boo:p

Mmmm, it all worries me :eek:

 

As you can probably tell, I'm pretty new to this.

Btw, also with this card, I requested the CCA months ago and havent

received anything since, not even t&cs, so I suppose I've got them on

two counts so far.

I will certainly keep people informed of my experiences.

only if you combine him with a non clued up defendant.

 

and for the delivery saturday and sunday dont count in the four days. produced Friday, means deemed posted on Monday, so today is the day it should have arrived anyway. Always nice to have had a friend with you though when you got home and the letter was on the door mat;).

 

Now keep quite about the DN until they terminate/take you to court. Technically they cannot re-issue but it gets a damn site more complicated in court if they do

Once they have terminated the account on the back off a invalid default notice then they can not enforce the debt in court, as they will be acting unlawfully. So if they do try taking you to court, your simple defence will be invalid default notice and unlawful termination of agreement/contract as a result of invalid default notice. Faliure to Comply with your CCA request too.

 

Then counter claim for damages for unlawful termination of agreement. As case law states they are liable to pay you damages of upto £1,000 plus your court costs.

the postage

 

here you go Joise8

 

1. Interpretation Act 1978, Section 7

 

This states:-

 

Where an Act authorises or requires any document to be served by post (whether the expression "serve" or the expressions "give" or "send" or any other expression is used) then, unless the contrary intention appears, the service is deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the document and, unless the contrary is proved, to have effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post."

 

2. Practice Direction

Service of Documents - First and Second Class Mail.

With effect from 16 April 1985 the Practice Direction issued on 30 July 1968 is hereby revoked and the following is substituted therefore.

1. Under S7 of the Interpretation Act 1978 service by post is deemed to have been effected, unless the contrary has been proved, at the time when the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.

2. To avoid uncertainty as to the date of service it will be taken (subject to proof to the contrary) that delivery in the ordinary course of post was effected:-

(a) in the case of first class mail, on the second working day after posting;

(b) in the case of second class mail, on the fourth working day after posting.

"Working days" are Monday to Friday, excluding any bank holiday.

3. Affidavits of service shall state whether the document was dispatched by first or second class mail. If this information is omitted it will be assumed that second class mail was used.

4. This direction is subject to the special provisions of RSC Order 10, rule 1(3) relating to the service of originating process.

Thanks Hungrybear. The OC was xxxxxxx but they have since sold the account to a DCA. The DN was dated 9th January 2008 and gave me until 26th January 2008.

 

 

9th Jan 2008 was a Wed so allowing 4 days for postage would be deemed served on Tues 15th, 14 clear days is 29th so the only way this could ever be valid would be if 1st class was used.

 

 

Please could this thread be left for Basil Fawlty seeing as it is actually his?

Thanks very much for saying that mkb, but I'm more than happy to read other peoples experiences with DN's.... I'm hoping to learn as much as I can about them.

As for me, I'm taking the advice I've been given on here and waiting for them to terminate, so I'll have nothing much to say until then.

If, and when they do, I shall be asking advice on my next move.

 

cheers

Absolutely nothing. No mail, no telephone calls since before Christmas. I can only guess they are dissecting the Manchester cases as we are.

 

The date I was given to send them money was 21st December, so I'm expecting a termination letter anytime now.

hi Basil, my dates were identical to yours.

 

Teaboy? what do you mean about the Manchester case etc?

 

Well basicly their was a case in manchester the over week that alot of cases between debtors and creditors were put on hold for while waiting the final outcome.

 

Alot are still trying to get their heads round it but their s a few posts regarding the case on the site. heres a link to just one of the post. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/240186-dissecting-manchester-test-case.html

 

Personally from what i can make out myself it wont effect you if the DCA take you to court, but if you take them to court it basically now thanks to that one person legal team a whole lot harder. its basically to do with weather the creditor is required to have a copy of the exact original off the CCA that includes your signiture.

 

But to be honest am just waiting for someone to actually make a proper and clear post as to what the judge actually means for everyone.
