    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer and that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim and don't add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the members of suggested above – it should be the final version. court, that I would respectfully requestup but I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 was wondering if anyone could please give me some info?

 

When I was younger (about 10 years ago) I got a credit card when I was at uni. Being young and stupid I managed to get myself into debt and defaulted on my credit card. The debt was eventually the subject of a CCJ in 2004.

 

I recently received a letter to my mother-in-laws house regarding this!! I don't even live there and I've no idea how they got this address. The letter states that there is an outstanding amount of £500+ (sorry I don't have the letter to hand) and this must be paid immediately to rectify my credit file. It also advises it is subject to a CCJ and therefore MUST be paid.

 

I have just checked my credit file and looked at the court information section and it states the following

 

Type: County Court Judgement Paid

Court Date: 16/08/2004

Amount: (which is less than is quoted on the letter I received)

Date satisfied:03/04/2006

 

I thought I had paid this off and in fact have heard nothing about this in over 4 or 5 years. Are they allowed to still chase me?

 

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm trying (and mostly succeeding) in being much more careful with my finances and my partned would be really annoyed that I owe anything like this as we are saving for a house. I'm worried bailiffs will come to the house (or worse to my mother-in laws house).

 

Many Thanks

sounds like a fishing expedition.

 

If you had a CCJ, and it was satisfied then you should have been given a form by the courts to state this.(I did when I had one many moons ago) If you have lost / did not receive one, you may be able to contact the court in question to enquire on the status and get a satisfaction certificate.

 

In England and Wales, a Certificate of Satisfaction , stating that the debt has been paid, can be obtained from the County Court in which the case was heard. The fee is £10. If the debt was not paid through the court, for example, it was paid direct to the lender, the court will require evidence that the Judgment has been satisfied , i.e. paid. The court will need the case number of the action. The number and the name of the court are shown on the Register of County Court Judgments, under your name, and on your credit reference file. The court will then issue a Certificate of Satisfaction to you and automatically inform the Registry Trust that the debt has been paid. There is no statutory time limit within which the court must do this.

 

As a matter of interest for the rest of the peeps, which company is chasing you?

Hi,

 

I've left the letter at a friends and will pick it up later to check the company.

 

I don't honestly know if it is paid - I thought so but did not receive any letter from the court. Thanks so much for your help

Hi

 

The company involved is Howard Cohen Ltd. I do remember dealing witrh these previously regarding this but as mentioned have had no coontact from them within the last 5 years or so - are they allowed to just pick this back up?

 

Also the Court case number they have provided is different to the one on my credit file.

 

Is it possible this is now being chased because it is coming up to 6 years since the Judgement was handed down? Is it correct that they can no longer chase after 6 years?

 

Thanks so much

They must seek permission from the court to pursue a CCJ after six years, showing good reason why they haven't enforced it previously. Permission is very rarely given but in your case it's marked as satisfied.

 

Write back to them quoting the CCJ number on your credit file stating that it is satisfied & that you have no knowledge of the one they are referring to. If there was a second CCJ it would show on your credit file so it looks as if it's a clerical error on their part.

Hi all,

 

I'd really apprecaite spme help. Apologiesw if this is doesn't read well but I'm a bit upset.

 

I received a call from my boyfriend's father today saying a man had been to the house with a letter for me. He'd refused to say what it was regarding. I don't even live at their house!

 

I've opened it and it says I need to contact this guy urgently regarding my debt owing on a CCJ for a Topshop account. I don't even know what this debt is. The only one I was aware of was a CCJ on a credit card (which is on my credit file as satisfied - see above). There are no other CCJ's on my credit file so I don't know what he's talking about??

 

I'm really upset as I'm going to have to contact this person in case he pays another visit to my bpyfriends parents. I am really embarassed as I know they will ask me what the letter is about.

 

Im also annoyed as the card says 'despite repeated efforts to conatct you' - I've received only one letter!!

 

Does anyone please have any advice?

 

Thanks so much

 

p.s. incidentally he was fropm the Lewis Group -?? not same people who originally sent me the letter.

Thank you - it was Northampton Court I will phone them tomorrow.

Is there anyway I can stop them going to my boyfriend's parents?

 

Do they still have to prove I owe the debt even if there is a CCJ filed?

 

Thanks
