    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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 All

I went to court on this one and feel totally wiped out with it all. I was given 7 days to submit a new revised defence but the District Judge commented I would be foolish - sarcastically asked if I still had the car as though I have a cheek. Consent order was granted for RCI to be the claimant . I just google RFS and found a thread by jkspepper 17th Jan 2008 @2256. I found it interesting and wondered if anyone was free to advise / marry the 2 threads please.

I dont know if my defence already submmitted does me any favours as it is. I am at a loss as to what to do next .

Perhaps if you pop up your original defence, we could have a look and see what needs revising. If you only have 7 days then you need to act fast.

Hi Citizen , thank you for the reply I'm sorry I didn't respond at the time but I lost the will to address this sorry business and find the site hard to get around .

 

I attended court yesterday for what was meant to be a 3 hour hearing which ran into its 6th. Would like to update fellow caggers particularly on the set up of defending yaself as I almost LOST because I did not know what was expected of me. I also hope to gain final advice regarding written closing submmission.

 

Could you or anyone reading this advise how to bring this to everyones attention

 

Many thanks and again apologies

Hi All I originally posted my case on here (dont know how to link) which went to court yesterday.

The case is between myself and RFS original thread 'Girl without a clue'.

What was originally allocated 3 hours turned into double that, I put up a good fight but faltered on not understanding what was expected of me in court (CANNOT believe that as I didn't put the 'Acts, etc verbally to the courts that my defence meant nothing ) when I realised at the conclusion of the hearing the judge did give recognition to my representing myself and much to the claimants annoyance I was permitted as were they to serve written closing submissions limited to issues I had brought up and included in my written defence (whick i niavely thought the Judge would read prior to the hearing - obviously NOT !!!)

 

(Issue 1) Default Notice - I proved in court that the default notice included one extra payment and it looked promising as I had referred to the Wood chester case however the Judge has asked that I address the 'minimus' issue I understand this to be the affect and consequences

(Issue 2) Signing of the Agreement - I was questioned at great length regarding this as I did not sign however as I did not quote the Acts, etc the Judge said this matter had been addressed (not in my favour in my judgement) THANKFULLY I was granted permission to include this in my written closing submision within 14 days

 

The claimant also has the same permission and I hope someone may be able to help in my last stab at this.

 

Thank you for reading any questions I'm glad to answer but pretty useless at uploading docs etc ..... even a good luck would be appreciated

The request should be shown to the judge and blatant intimidation and delaying tactics by the company involved. They should not be doing this at this late stage.

 

Contact the court immediately and state that you do NOT agree to this as you do not see any reason for them to change and do not understand the legal arguements behind this...

So you've been given 14 days to submit a closing submission, will there be another hearing or will the Judge just make a decision on the written evidence filed??

 

In effect it seems that the court is asking for a summary of everything that has happened so far without bringing any other issues into the mix so that it may clearly see exactly what the situation is and then make a final judgement on what the outcome should be.

 

What are you hoping the outcome will be?

Hi Wannabe , I have just wrote a lengthy post on how the hearing went but I cant see it ??

 

 

Yes you are correct that's exactly as I understand it to be - she said she would consider the hearing but only to submit what she has permitted which is the default and agreement issue. She said to address issues arising from the amount of default (de Minimus) to attach page 1436 of the new white book index of Wood Chester particularly the court of appeal descion and reports 263, conversion tort on signing agreement (think that was to the other side).

I am overwhelmed by it all tbh, this is not my forte although the Judge did comment that I had done pretty well considering (not sure how to take that really) .

At one point it seemed highly likely she was throwing it out on the Wood Chester part but the minimus thing swayed her from my understanding.

 

What do you think Wannabe ?

 

regards

Sorry problems moving post, here's the content...............................

 

Hi I noticed this thread just by googling RFS - new to the site but wondered if there was a way of my using the details from the above customer services manager at the start of this thread for my case which I have 7 days (3 left) to submit a revised defence ????

My original post is Girl without a Clue. I atteneded court a couple of days ago as I would not give consent to amended Particulars of Claim - the Judge granted the request and advised I was foolish in incurring thousands in charges should the court find in the claimants favour in September. I will not receive the claimants defence until 2 weeks prioir to the final hearing.

 

This is the thread it's from...........................

I'm looking for help in particular with finding page 1436 of the new White book - index of Woodchester case and in particular the court of appeal decsion Woodchester Lease Management Services v SW Shane and reports 263.

 

Also anything on tort in relation to my NOT signing the Agreement.

 

 

In relation to the Default and in addition to the incorrect amount can anyone tell me that having had the Agreement terminated in Nov 2007 but allowed to pay the arrears afterwards having involved Trading Standards is there anything further the company should have done to unterminate the agreement which would render the default unenforceable in any case ?

The company terminated phonecalls before and after my paying the arrears but the Judge did not give recognition to this as that was a seperate default notice BUT I had nothing to say it was unterminated

 

thanks

I wish there was something I could say that would make this any less complicated or overwhelming for you but unfortunately there is not :sad: I can however, offer you everything I have learned from my own experience and you can only do your best :madgrin:

 

Is the claim against you only or is it a joint claim against your husband too??

 

If you give me a couple of hours to get my children fed, bathed and in bed, I'll be snuggling down with my lappy for the evening and I'll have a good nose and see if there might be something I can offer you in assistance.

Hi Wannabe sounds like my night ...... yes the action is against ME not my husband. I explained the facts that while I was on a test drive my husband signed the Agreement in my abscence and without my knowlege, I signed the sales invoice and having handed my vehicle over as deposit (no outstanding HP) I thought that was part in it, my husband also signed the direct debit mandate but I did not know it was in my name until I had cause to check the documents on our seperation (reconciled since) xxx

Very confusing but my interpretation is:

 

  • The default is invalid due to overstating of sums due
  • The other side is saying this is a de minimis issue
  • The agreement is not signed by you but by another person
  • Because you didn't sign the agreement Section 61 of the Act should apply
  • The other side are allowed to investigate conversion tort because your husband signed for the car when he shouldn't have
  • You need to establish a defence to this
  • You need to include a transcript of the Woodchester case to prove that an amount incorrectly stated on a default notice is NOT a de minimis issue.
  • All other issues relating to this case are not permitted to be mentioned, it is solely limited to the default and signing issues

I believe your strongest argument is the invalid default as it clearly isn't a de minimis issue and that can be verified with case law and statute. I also believe that you can honestly defend the signing issue as you weren't aware the agreement was solely in your name at the time of signing and that, as a consumer, you were already at a disadvantage when entering a contract with a large company so the responsibility to ensure accuracy and transparency within the contract should lie with the creditor.

There is further case law to support this but it won't come to mind at the mo :-(

 

I'll have a look with a clearer head in the morning :madgrin:

Sounds like a plan to me!

Here's a link to a site that gives you an idea of how you should set out and what should be included in a closing submission, HERE

 

I think it would be best to just stick to the facts that you've been permitted to address, judges hate having reams of paperwork to trawl through just to get to the bones of the matter. Keep it short but concise and you won't go far wrong :madgrin:

 

I'm going out for a few hours this evening but I'll be around on and off if you need owt.
