    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on 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 all

 

As you guys advised me I have requested docs referred to in the claim against me by Santander Cards Ltd and have asked for them to be sent to me in the next 7 days.

 

I have been online and advised I will be defending the claim.

 

Will I now have to wait for forms to be sent to me to complete defense and provide all my evidence?Or do I send what I have to Northampton Court?Also will it be transferred to my local court,and will I be expected to go?Claim form was dated 9.11.09

 

How should I word my defense?Or shall I post again once I get the forms?I am so stressed out over this and dont know what to do. I have never been taken to court before.

Please help!

 

Thanks

Hi DCEMS please try and relax....you seem to have done fine so far.....(did you send the CPR recorded ?) You have to acknowledge receipt of the claim within 14 days of the date on the claim form, you then get a further 14+3 days in which to submit your defence...however it is too early for you to submit a defence as you have to wait and see if they respond....if it gets close to the deadline then you must put in an embarrassed defence....then await the AQ and Directions !! Just stick to the timetables....what were the particulars of the claim ? (don't be specific with regard to dates or figures)...

Particulars of claim:

the claimants claim is for the sum of £###.## being monies due from the defendant to the claimant under a regulated credit agreement between the defendant and Santander CardsLtd....and assigned...on the 4.11.09...the defendant has failed tomake payments in accordance with the terms...default notice has been served under Sect 87(1)...the claimant claims contractual interest a 17.46%pa.......

 

 

Yes,I sent request recorded as advised on the forum.

I was told my agreement was with GE Money,who seem to have sold it to Santander.In total I have had GeMoney,Viking Collections,Santander,CL Finance and Howard Cohen write to me.My agreement has never been with Santander.I have made reduced payments since April 2009,have not used my card for 2 years,and all my requests for a bit of understanding have been ignored.

I have sent in total 4 budget sheets to each company dealing with my account to no avail,other than receiving harrassing phone calls late at night,or leaving messages with my daughter trying to trick her into giving out my work number!

 

So should I be hearing from the court by the 15.12.09? And what is an embarrassed defence?:confused:

 

Sorry for not knowing what to do and panicking!

I have found my defence form.the claim is dated 9.11.09..date of service is 5 days after the issue date,so thats 14.11.09. AOS received 23.11.09. so defence has to be in by the 3.12.09??

Should I wait to hear back from HC before i do defence on-line?

Surprise surprise, they have said a CPR 31.14 is not applicable to small claims as its for less than £5k.

 

Shall i go ahead and file my embarrassed defence? if I do it on-line how will i provide evidence of their refusal?

42man kindly put some links up,but they are not specific to cohen. if you could send me/post the template that would be fab.

what are the chances of me winning this?cohen are saying only the court can direct for documents,and there is sufficent info on the claim for me to know whats going on? First mistake is my credit agreement was never with Santander-it was with GE Money back in 2004 i think.Hopefully i will win this!

There is no specific HC embarrassed defence template as such.

 

It is a common problem here on CAG that people assume that there is a "One size fits all" template ....... the reality is that every case is different.

 

Your defence must be constructed to defend against the claims stated in the Particulars of Claim.

 

An example of a "holding" defence is posted below. Please take your time to read and understand what is written.

You can then amend the document to suit your specific requirements.

 

 

DEFENCE

 

 

 

1. The claim as pleaded does not contain sufficient particulars to permit the Defendant to file a properly particularised and pleaded defence. The Defendant has made a request for disclosure, pursuant to Part 31 of the Civil Procedure Rules, to the Claimant to allow him to properly respond to the claim. The Claimant has failed to respond to the Part 31 request.

 

2. It is Not admitted that the Defendant signed an agreement with XXXX . If, which is not admitted, such an agreement exists the precise terms and date of any such agreement are not admitted. The Defendant does not have in his possession any such agreement and is not therefore able to comment thereon. The Claimant is put to strict proof as to the date and terms of such agreement.

 

3. It is averred that if any agreement existed that the aforesaid agreement was a regulated agreement within the terms of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (The Act). It is not admitted that any such Agreement is enforceable within the terms of the Act. The Claimant is put to strict proof that the aforesaid agreement was properly executed and has been enforceable at all times since its' inception.

 

4. The Defendant has no knowledge of the service of a default notice. The claimant is put to strict proof as to the content and service of any such alleged default notice.

 

5. Further and in the alternative it is not admitted that the sums claimed are lawfully owing. The Claimant is put to strict proof as to how the sums claimed have been calculated and as to how it is asserted that the sums claimed are contractually owing.

 

6. Further and in any event in view of the failure to comply with the CPR Part 31 request it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to costs as claimed or at all.

 

7. In view of the foregoing it is denied that the Defendant is indebted to the Claimant as alleged or at all.

 

Statement of Truth

 

I believe that the facts stated in this defence are true.

 

I am the Defendant.

 

 

XXXXX

 

 

Date

Firstly, do not expect anyone on cag to take responsibility for your case - that's your job as posty says but we can help.

 

couple of points that may be worth spelling out.

-GE were incorporated into santander, so this is technically the OC

-CPR 31 is applicable to any claim prior to allocation but not to small claims after allocation, ie they are talking out of their backside and should have complied

 

- read, understand and modify the holding defence. For example you may wish to change

 

The Claimant has failed to respond to the Part 31 request.

 

to

 

The claimant responded to the part 31 request in a letter dated xx/xx/xx stating that a CPR 31.14 is not applicable to small claims as its for less than £5k. The defendant wishes to draw attention to the fact that CPR 31.1(2) only applies after allocation. etc etc

hi,

 

yes, i received an acknowledgement. it just says the claimant may contact me to resolve the dispute direct,or he will inform the court direct if he wishes to proceed. the court has to be contacted within the next 28 days,otherwise the claim will be stayed. This letter was dated 2.12.09.

 

I am guessing this is a standard letter the court sends out.At the moment I am off sick with an abcess in my back and I am house bound so either way I wont be bullied by anyone as,quite simply,I am too ill to take any more stress.

 

Hope you all have a good christmas. I will keep in touch with any updates.

Well, I have had some defence forms sent to me by my local court.

 

Was going to complete and send back, stating I dont want mediation.

 

Does this mean Cohen want it to go to court? I have had no responce to my CPR request and no further contact made by them direct either way:mad:

 

Guess this means I will get a court date and have to face them direct.

Hi

 

The did the same with me, asking for the Courts to deal with there case by mediation. Or other words Cohens didn't want to attend the Courts Hearing. I still had to turn up for the case.

I give you a little tip, If there going to use the mediation service i would if i was you put in a Counterclaim for wasted costs before the hearing.

Otherwise the District Judge will only if you win award you out of pocket costs on the day.

This is how i see it as i've had 2 cases one from Cohen's and was awarded different cost for each case by the same Judge.
