    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.    
    • That's fine - I'm quite happy to attend court if necessary. The question was phrased in such a way that had I declined the 'consideration on the papers' option, I would have had to explain why I didn't think such consideration was appropriate, and since P2G appear to be relying on a single (arguably flawed) issue, I thought it might result in a speedier determination.
    • it was ordered in the retailers store  but your theory isnt relevant anyway, even if it fitted the case... the furniture is unfit for purpose within 30 days so consumer rights act overwrites any need to use 14 days contract law you refer too. dx

    • Frankly I think you should go to a hearing unless you feel especially nervous . If you have any worries then you should follow our link to find out about a county court familiarisation visit     You shouldn't forget that county Court judgements are very helpful but they are not binding. They are only persuasive.  It is difficult to see you losing but it might be better to be there in order to counter any arguments from the other side

    • 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.

CM - Thanks for your message.

 

At the moment I am busy collating all the information I am going to need or think I may need. Just getting the WS together with exhibits and paginated etc. has taken hours to do. Printing off the case law I am going to use/quote is also being a challenge with a temperamental printer, ink that costs a fortune and a forest of paper. I am probably about half way through all this - waiting for my benefit to come through so I can refill my ink cartridges!!

 

In between this I have hospital appointments - I am awaiting the final appointment now for major abdominal surgery so have been going for tests and assessments. Of course the benefit people also take up time!

 

Fortunately I still have a couple of weeks to get all done and dusted - though I may need to hire a fork lift truck to carry all the paper I have printed off!!

 

This is why I have not been too active on the Forum recently though I am keeping my eye on your thread and a few others as well. You seem to be in good hands and well on top of everything. Other than Fluffy's thread there are have been a few alarming results in court with very prejudiced judges about so I am trying to ensure I do not fall flat on my face through any lack of preparation.

You don't need to print off all the case law for your WS submission wycombe although you will need it for the court bundle & a copy for the hearing. Re. costs - when you win, it's all recoupable from the claimant. :)

Thanks for looking in FG - appreciated as always:)

 

I do have one question:

 

Do I need to have my costs ready for the SJ hearing? And do I send a copy to the opposition? I have seen a few threads where the defendants have submitted or received costs before a hearing.

From what I learned on Tuesday, if you don't let the other side know your costs at least 24 hour before the hearing the Judge is unlikely or unable to award them to you - so send them to the Claimant well in advance I would say.

 

p.s. I have a laser printer which is faster and much cheaper than your inkjet. If I can help you in any way with the printing I'd be pleased to do so. Ink jet cartidges are a rip-off - but that's another issue!

Many thanks IDAH,

 

I will get my costs ready and send to the opposition a week before the hearing by Recorded mail and take a copy to the Court.

 

Also I greatly appreciate the offer of assistance with the printing. Another Cagger has already donated their copies of the few remaining bits of Case Law that I do not yet have copies of - I am deeply indebted to her for this. My antique sytem can probably cope now with the odds and ends I need to print off now just to tidy things up.

 

Also my thanks to squidward for your best wishes. At the moment my time on the Forum is limited but I am following your thread. If you need anything just shout! Trusting all goes well with your fight.

Hi Wycombe, thanks for the update. Great to see all the help you are getting - you are well on your way.

 

Isn't it awful though, how you have to do so much to prove that credit agreement laws etc have been breached. Still, the end will justify the means, I feel sure of that. You can never be too prepared!

 

Hope they don't keep you waiting about too long for your surgery.

 

All the best! :)

Send your costs in no more than 48 hours before the hearing. ;)

If you win the SJ hearing, the DJ may award you the costs there & then or might make you wait for consideration at the full hearing. If the latter, make sure you hold on to them to present again with the 'full' costs at your hearing.

Thanks FG and CM

 

Just to clarify:

 

No problem to send my costs to the opposition 48 hours pre-hearing.

 

But do I also send them to the Court at the same time? Or is it OK to take them along on the day with the proof they have been sent to the opposition?

 

Of course if costs are awarded there will be at least half donated to CAG as without this site I would, by now, be well trodden into the ground by the debt collection industry.

Definitely send to the court - more important than the copy to Claimant.

  • 3 weeks later...

Brief update.

 

My SJ hearing is tomorrow and I am hoping I have enough information and don't get too tongue tied to get through this successfully. Win or lose I just want to thank everyone for all their help and support thus far. Should the worst happen then I will have to throw in the towel as much as I would hate to do this. This is because I do not have the funds for an appeal and I am due back in hospital on the 31st for some major surgery that will keep me out of action for six weeks or so. I will still be able to access my computer etc. but my mobility will be severly restricted and I probably will not have the stomach for any further fight until my health has sufficiently improved.

 

Wishing success to all other caggers who have subscribed to my thread and are in a similar position to myself. Will post up the result of my hearing on Thursday evening.

A quick thanks to everyone for their best wishes for tomorrow. I have my bag of tricks packed and ready to go. So I am signing off now and relax in front of what ever rubbish is on TV. I doubt if I will get much sleep as I am sure everything will be spinning around in my head when I do get to bed. I really should have got some Red Bull in but good strong black coffee will have to suffice tomorrow to keep me on the ball!

Adding my best wishes too, wycombe.

 

Stay calm & collected, take your time & don't let the DJ or any scratty sol try & hassle you.

 

If you have anyone that go with you as a Mckenzie' friend to take notes for you, it may help. Just remember to politely ask the DJ for his permission (he shouldn't refuse, the case law is there to back it up - McKenzie) & tell your friend that he/she can't address the court although he/she can converse quietly with you.
