    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. 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. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

It is cut off but when they receive your appeal letter they should pay you at the assessment rate up until the tribunal.

 

You have to ring them to make sure that you do get paid though and ask them about whether you have to send medical certificates in.

Benefits rules are complex, and although I do try to inform and support people, I may get it wrong because the rules apply to individual claimants and their particular circumstances.

Do they backdate the money when they receive your decision to appeal, or only pay you, pending the appeal, from that point?

 

With respect I would like a specific answer. Thanks.

Yes they backdated me the couple of weeks it took to lodge the appeal.

 

Mine is an IB case and I used to get £183 per fortnight, now it's £52 per week up to the tribunal.

 

The reason I say phone them to make sure is because I had to really push them to get information and I was even given false info. They told me to send in med certs when it turned out I don't have to.

 

I don't trust them to do anything right until they are pressed into doing it.

What I'm saying is that your benefit is stopped when you get the letter saying, "not enough points".

 

Then you appeal (ask for appeal form GL24 in advance if I were you), then you make sure they got your appeal and will carry on paying you.

You can send your own letter of appeal and I don't know if you can get GL24 online. Probably. It's only got a tiny box to write your reasons for appealing in anyway but you can add an extra sheet of paper yourself.

Hello norby500. Can I also recommend my humble sticky on this forum that has information on appeals and links to the DWP. Dokto John is right about the GL24.

 

Later on, it should help with a tribunal, if your case goes that far.

 

My best, HB

hey thanks for the advice off both of you, my aim is to wait on the decision letter then fill out the g24 form and add in an additional letter, i am going to use the sticky threads letter template to my needs :) :)

 

my main issues are:

 

not being paid when they reach my decision until i file the appeal.

getting the form filled in and sent off for the appeal.

 

thanks again you guys

So am I correct in thinking that if you fail the WCA the DM at the DWP makes the decision that you are no longer entitled to ESA Assessment, and that your claim ends on the date of the letter. This letter will then take a few days to arrive, then you have to appeal, so once the appeal is received by the DWP do they then backdate your claim to the date of the decision letter so that you dont lose any money. Can anyone please clarify this. Thanks.

Yes joeblogs that is correct.

i've always been on the assessment rate of 52£ per week, so will i not continue to get this during filing my appeal?

 

Is it really only £52 a week then? I thought that whilst you're awaiting an appeal you're meant to try and claim another benefit to tied you over as £52 is well below even JSA?

You can choose to sign on to JSA if you want to and it won't affect your appeal.

 

I just don't feel well enough to sign on.

So can any other benefit such as IS (If it's still going that is) top up that amount? Also I've read that If you think your condition has deteriorated recently that you can try putting in a new ESA claim whilst the other is waiting to clear.

 

To expect anyone ill to live off £64 is bad enough, but £52, when some doesn' have any other form of income sems utterly ridiclous/cruel to me. But then saying that, thats the government all over isn't it. :(

 

Also does anyone know if that assessment rate whist waiting for an appeal to be heard is means tested or not? I'm on None means tested IB benefit and expect to be thrown off it like many others on here, and so will have to seek a tribunal hearing too. Is that assessment rate an extension of my original claim and so none means tested or is is looked upon as a new claim or something else? I can never seem to figure that one out.

£52 is the weekly rate of ESA for single people under 25. This applies to JSA also, I believe. IB will likely be different.

It is complicated worry wort. I was shocked when they told me £52pw.

 

I was on IB but the IS type of IB. So they said I would get 80% of my IS and no Disability Premium while waiting for tribunal. That's a loss of about £40pw.

 

I don't fully understand all of your question though.

Well I'm waaaaay over 25 I'm afraid. ;)

 

So does anyone know about the means tested bit of these assessment rate payments? I mean I'm currently on none means tested form of IB as I've paid enough stamps etc. So when I have to go to tribunal and so end up receiving assessment rate payments are they also none means tested?
