    • Correct but wont stop them chasing you though even if no payment for  6 years (statute Barred) Some DCA s buy debts (the debt is assigned to them) and some do issue court claims ...just so you are aware.   Andy
    • Thats because this claim has not been allocated as yet hence the above hearing *Case Management " to determine the directions (N157 Notice of allocation) which will follow after this hearing. You are not requested to submit a statement but have all the details with you (claim form defence CPR CCA etc etc)   Andy
    • Our price is the same all day, but varies day to day. Yes there's a risk of high prices but it has never gone above SVR any time since I signed up. Last 30 days average 17.67p/kWh, max 20.67 and lowest was 11.83.  It saved just under £300 during 2023.  
    • It you had E7 in the past but have converted to single rate then the meter will still hold the last recorded Night readings. This introduces scope for error when manually reading. If the meter has only ever been used on single rate then there's only one figure that can be taken. For example ours shows "Rate 1" reading and a "Total import" reading, but they both give the sme figure. If it has ever been on E7 the total will be higher, including the retained night reading.
    • okay, perfect and thank you so much for the help once again. so firstly i am going to initiate the breathing space, during this time it's likely ill receive a default. when i receive the default are you aware of how long it will take for me to know whether the OC have sold it off to DCAs? Once it's with the DCAs i do not need to worry as they cannot issue a CCJ only the OCs can Even if i decide to come an arrangement with the DCAs no point as the default will remain for 6 years paid or not paid I should only consider repayment if the OC still won the debt and then issue a CCJ? Just to confirm the default will not be seen after 6 years? No one can tell I had one then after 6 years ill be all good?

    • 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.

You're working on the assumption that the hearing will take some time - it won't - 5 to 10 minutes at the most. You won't have time to say a lot, you will be relying on the contents of your N244.

 

As it's your application for a hearing the judge will speak to you first - don't interrupt him under any circumstances ! Speak only when you are spoken to and keep it brief and to the point, don't ramble. Stay calm no matter what the other side are saying to the judge and again, don't interrupt! just act as normal as possible, no attitude or aggression - remember you are in a vulnerable situation.

 

It might be a good idea to take an up to date statement with you to hand to the judge showing the fact that your payments have now reduced, but of they have reduced by £200 then the judge would expect you to pay the full £200 towards the arrears. Do you have a letter from NR confirming the reduction in payment?

 

If you've got a thousand pounds ready to pay then you need to either pay it now or take it with you to the hearing and tell the judge you've got it.

Hi Ell-enn

 

Thanks for the reply, I only spoke to NR and they advised me what they will do to help ie ( £200.00 ) reduction, I asked for that offer in writing.

 

God I am nervous now, I have dreamt of the judge saying, sorry son but your out..crazy eh?

When did you speak to NR? do you think you'll get the letter before the hearing?

 

If they have offered to reduce your payments to help you then it is unlikely that they will press for eviction.

 

Let me know tomorrow if you have the letter and we can write a supplementary statement for you to give the judge.

 

I'm confident you will be ok:)

Northern Rock are the main partie in this, main lender ' mortgage .' Future are pressing eviction re suss repo.

 

NR dont know what future are up to, it was by chance today that I spoke to NR and they hinted a £200.00 reduction for a year ( interest only ).

 

I asked NR what would happen if Future would go for eviction and they said, ' we would have first charge' and they'd get nothing????

Sorry my mistake. However, that still works well for you - if your main mortgage lender is willing to help you by reducing your payments then that will show the judge they have confidence in you.

Sorry Ell, felt guilty about pointing that out, what if I dont get NR offer in writing, do you think I am doomed?

 

Will he give me more time to ' clear my home ' or will he say you had enough notice,

Have you got your email back yet? if so, and the letter doesn't come from NR tomorrow, ring them and ask if they will email it to you.

 

Try to stay positive - deal with things as they happen, don't dwell too much on the negatives. I know it's a hard time at the moment but try to think of how relieved you will be when it's over :)

Hi Mr W.

 

Just wondering if you have much (or any) equity in your house.

 

If the house were to be sold, do you think that there would be enough to pay back Future after NR get their money.

Morning caro

 

Well when I add up the unenforceable cc's and crap dca's are chasing, then NO there would be nothing left, not much equity at all.

 

Over the last few days I have been thinking of ' Handing the keys back ' and let them sell it at auction blah blah but I would need to know the complications of that first.

 

I really hope the judge lets us stay in our home, so then I can at least prepare myself for the next step, which would to take advice on my comment above, there are lots of things I want to look into and I am awaiting a sar from Future too.

 

Without trying to sound negative, I deplore were I live because we have scummy neighbours ( no disrespect to them ) but over the last 2 yr the council have moved in the trash they had to shift from other areas, we have four fammilies within 120 metres of our home and they are **** not a nice word, but its true.

 

I would rather move from the area ( easier said than done ) I know! and give myself and O H and kids a better quality of living, I am no way pompeous but the feedback we have had from prospective purchasers was really negative toward the area and some of them new about the neighbours, so in a nutshell, what decent mature adults are gonna buy my home?? not the one's that have any common sense, as like before, once they research the **** close by then they run to the hills.

 

Sorry for bleating on, the answer to your question is in the above somewhere.

 

I sound negative dont I..

Have you considered the government mortgage rescue scheme - the local authority buy your home and rent it back to you. That might give you a route to exit the area once your are renting rather than waiting to sell the property.

Hi Ell-en

 

I have just returned from work, and I have a few questions but my bones are aching so I will bathe first then return to seek advise and support for tommorows hearing.

Hi All

 

I am all ready for tommorows hearing, albiet a little nervous, can the following answers be answered please.

 

Ell -enn...Depending on the outcome of tommorow, I will enquire about the Mortgage Rescue Scheme, Thank you.

 

If it go's against me tommorow, can I appeal? or will I have to vacate by Tuesday as per the eviction date.

 

Can I ask for more time to vacate as it was my intention to defend said action.?

 

Can the Judge ' do as he pleases ? ie award to the claiment even though the defence tells a story of compliance and payments.

 

Ell-enn, The contract of work which I have as part of the defence, I believe will play a big part in my fate, today I have recieved notification of more work, ( paperwork in post ) in my possesion, should I take this along too and submit or show as an additional defence?

 

There maybe other questions but at the moment I have none.

Ell -enn...Depending on the outcome of tommorow, I will enquire about the Mortgage Rescue Scheme, Thank you.

 

If it go's against me tommorow, can I appeal? or will I have to vacate by Tuesday as per the eviction date. In the very unlikely event that the judge orders eviction, you should say "Sir (or Madam" may I have leave to appeal.

 

Can I ask for more time to vacate as it was my intention to defend said action.? not sure what you mean, but if the judge orders eviction, your first response is as above and add the request to remain in the property until after the appeal is heard.

 

Can the Judge ' do as he pleases ? ie award to the claiment even though the defence tells a story of compliance and payments. The judge has the final decision, however you will find that in the main they are very fair and don't like to take people's houses away except in serious circumstances (which is not your situation).

 

Ell-enn, The contract of work which I have as part of the defence, I believe will play a big part in my fate, today I have recieved notification of more work, ( paperwork in post ) in my possesion, should I take this along too and submit or show as an additional defence? Yes, most definitely take that along (keep a copy). When the judge has finished addressing you at the beginning of the hearing you should say "Sir (or madam), I have received a further contract of work which further stregthens our ability to pay the arrears.

 

There maybe other questions but at the moment I have none.

 

Mr W

 

Did you get the letter from NR re the payments being reduced?

 

Try to stay positive and get some rest tonight.

Future can say what they like ! but it's not their decision, it's the judge's and as I said they don't like taking people's houses away unless there's no hope of payments being made.

Oh no I never, I did call them and ask for the offer to be mailed, but I dont have it, I have comms from them re going on interest only etc, but nothing up to date,

 

Can I not call him her ..your honour, ? When he allows me to speak/ defend, how do I start without sounding balshy or rehearsed.

.

I thought you'd been to a hearing before??

 

You're not in a crown court Mr W so the judge is just called sir or madam. The hearing will be held in a private room with just you, the judge and the other side's rep, there is no public admittance. You don't stand up to "defend" - the judge will ask you questions, just answer honestly. Judges usually understand that you are nervous and will guide you through the process. Don't try and picture the scene before you get there, just deal with things as they happen. You'll be fine, honestly :)

Just make sure you come back on here and tell us the good news asap.

Hi To All

 

WON WON WON WON WON WON WON WON WON WON WON

 

I GOT THE EVICTION SUSSPENDED

 

I went to court on time and met the claiments solicitor, she had a chat with me saying we want you out blah blah, I retaliated saying thats not your decision, its up to the judge.

 

We went in the room...

 

He started by asking for a potted history, and then asked if I was here to ask for more time to ' pack up and go ' I said NO I am here to defend the eviction, and went on with my reasons why I should not be evicted.

 

Judge asked if I had any monies to pay I said £1000.00. he then done some figures and this was his closing speech..

 

SUSSPENDED! pay £70.00 per month off arrears and good luck blah blah. Futures solicitor said what about the £1000.00, he replied I am not compelling that amount nor is it in the 'order' to pay.

 

When we left the room the solicitor said, are you gonna pay that £1000.00, I said no chance am off to celebrate with it ( not really )

she was not amused.

 

So a massive VICTORY for the CAGERS and Mr Mrs Worried.

 

Thanks to all of you for your help and support, and especially Ell whom kept me calm and basically saved my life and home.

 

Words cannot thank you all enough.

 

I am of to work now ( half a shift ) and am gonna have a glass of chablis tonight.

Congratulations ... now go forall those additional charges Future will chuck in, not to mention the additional interest they will try to charge.... (Ive seen this done to a colleague at work, whilst in arrears they tried to charge 3% a month extra interest as well as other charges... he got that thrown out in court).
