    • They wont take you to court. I'm not sure what they'll do about the letters and if they will or wont send you the letters from their retail prevention company, but you can ignore those letters. You'll be just fine don't worry.
    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

    • 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 sunflower my mum takes these, she had a stroke last November, dont know whether these pills she got given at the time along with blood thinning ones are the reason for her deteriorating memory loss or the stroke itself. She has also progressively had more leg pains aswell (she does have athritis in her knee though, and is down for a knee replacement operation!)

 

I have read about these causing muscle wastage aswell as memory loss too so thought it good you posting your concerns too as it is a worry!!

My Mum has these too after having a stroke last year, although as far as I'm aware she's fine as far as side affects of medication are concerned. That said, she was put on as preventetive medication to prevent further strokes so it would be hard to establish what affects now are stroke caused and which are due possibly to medication. From what I can gather though she seems pretty ok. I think each case is individual, I'd suggest doing your research and then discussing any concerns with your doctor.

My mum stopped taking simvastatin earlier in the year after being on them for several years . She was worried after having some of the symptoms mentioned.

 

I was prescribed them a couple of years ago but never took them ...

Hi Sunflower, I have been taking simvastain since my heartattack just over 2 years ago, last thing at night, has brought and steaded my cholestral count, there is what they call possible flushing (face can get red) like overheating symptoms but soon goes, there is an EXPERIMENT GOING ON IN THE UK/SCANDNAVIA/CHINA with some other tablets (statins) to test if flushing eased but is on going for 5 years and has about 3 years to go, otherwise seems no problem & certainly lower cholestral, Doctor now does a yearly test for High blood pressure, cholestral etc, so far no problem. Hope this helps. mine is below 5.

I would like to add and it is very important statin drugs are prescribed for a reason usually if you have high blood pressure, have recently undergone heart ops like stenting, are at risk or have had a stroke.

 

So I would advocate never to just stop taking them.

 

If you have any issues about taking them seek professional medical advice first.

 

I have found that although some brands do have symptoms attached to them in many ways this does out way the possibility of cardiovascular disease.

I have had a stroke which resulted in brain surgery I also had a heart attack in March 09 which was when I was put on atorvastatin 80mg

Dear Sunflower

 

The actual total cholesterol is meaningless in reality and yours is not that much off the average of 5 mm/L of blood. The readings that you should be looking at the so called Good and bad cholesterol. I have pased this in from the NHS site the link for which is below:-

'Good' and 'bad' cholesterol

 

Cholesterol cannot travel around the body on its own because it does not dissolve in water. Instead, it is carried in your blood by molecules called lipoproteins.

The two main lipoproteins are LDL and HDL.

  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL).LDL is the main cholesterol transporter and carries cholesterol from your liver to the cells that need it. If there is too much cholesterol for the cells to use, this can cause a harmful build-up in your blood. Too much LDL cholesterol in the blood can cause cholesterol to build up in the artery walls, leading to disease of the arteries. For this reason, LDL cholesterol is known as 'bad cholesterol', and lower levels are better.
  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL carries cholesterol away from the cells and back to the liver, where it is either broken down or passed from the body as a waste product. For this reason, it is referred to as 'good cholesterol', and higher levels are better.

The amount of cholesterol in the blood (including both LDL and HDL) can be measured with a blood test.

 

from: Cholesterol - Introduction

 

The statins do work but you can also make a significant impact via lifestyle changes such as diet and excercise. So cutting out saturated fats and increasing your level of fitness is something to consider.

 

A good friend of mine had a total cholesterol count of 10 mm/L and high blood pressure and got it down to 4 within 8 months and lost 4 stone though a new diet and exercise plan. I would ask your GP to measure your HD and LD lipids levels since the ration of these two is far more accurate in terms of an indicator.

Hi all

Thanks for all your comments and links ! I will read up on them all when i get home from work today!:)

There seems so much controversary over statins ! Trouble is i did ask my doctor about them and they tend to be very dismissive of anything negative about them and seem to think they the best thing since sliced bread and will not even consider any adverse publicity about them,.One doctor was so blinkered that she accused me of reading the gutter press! LO,l and got quite annoyed with me for daring to question her! and saying that i was implying she not good at her job!:eek: LOL which was not my intention! but doctors dont like patients reading reports and questioning them! typical doctor!

Hi Sodem

Thanks for link! Will read up on it when i get home from work! Your blood pressure similar readings to mine:eek: The argument my doctor is using is that i should be on them because i am at increased risk of health problems if my choleserol is not borught down to at least 5! because of very high blood pressure which he argues causes my risk to be doubled of having health problems if i dont take statins! My blood pressure,unmedicated is often something like 220 over 130 which i suppose is quite high for a 51 year old:eek: well i was in my 40s when Doctor got those readings,:eek:

Hi Monty

Im happy to help with support and my own opinions but as i have no legal qualifications If I offer any thoughts to your problems please take it as from my life experience only and not of any legal standing. Always take further advice from the legal experts in your final action,
