    • Thanks for the other info will also take a look at that.
    • It doesn't use the word reconstructed in the cover letter.  Although, I have just noticed on the cover letter they have asked me to complete a financial statement and offer a repayment within the next 10 days, or they will continue to follow court directions.  They sent a separate letter on the same day advising me they will be continuing with their claim ?  They have done the same for both claims.  Is it worth just doing that - doing the financial breakdown and offering a x amount.    
    • hahah except I can't locate the courier to frighten them with it hahaha   
    • Dx100uk according to the ICO office, who I spoke to at some length earlier today after getting the email from the court, Equita are the data controller if they have instructed the contracted EA. The ICO have noted the case, and stated very clearly that the court has the higher standing in terms of dealing with, and punishing either party if they fail to adhere to the district judges order and any action they take will not be criminal.    but they also stated very clearly that with what I’ve told them, and on the basis of accepting what I’ve told them as gospel (which it is with written confirmation from both the courts and the police) then there is some major red flags being raised on both sides with them blaming each other.    they’ve advised me to essentially keep my powder dry until there is a charging decision and an outcome from the seperate proceedings with the EAC2 complaint, and then come back to them with the case and they will be in a stronger position to act against Equita and the EA as there will be established facts and evidence that have already been laid before a court.     
    • urm.. i seem to recall another assault case whereby the approved bailiff company claimed the body camera was nor theirs but a pers one of the bailiff, i think they got in serious trouble for it. i believe that breaks certain gov't approval for a bailiff company/firm regulations/laws  if memory serves me right?

    • 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.

Dear Hallowitch,

 

You have been so kind in the past in helping my partner and myself deal with a paste Equita Bailiff, and your help or advice would be warmly appreciated concerning my present situation.

 

Here goes...

 

My Mother contacted me today to say that an Equita Bailff had visited her property and listed and posted an inventory of my families vehicles which are not registered in my name. I no longer reside at the property and havn't for a number of years - so why they have visited my parents address is a mystery.

 

As you can imagine, my Mum is quite distressed as they've demanded a sum of £525 for unpaid council tax arrears (including almost double the value of original bill) and she is now frightened that they will attempt to claim possessions that do not belong to me and are not registered in my name.

 

My Mum contacted the Bailiff to advise that she has not spoken to me (a little white lie) but the Bailiff insisted that I had personally given him that address on a previous occation. Please respect that she lied to enable me to find the requested sum in short notice.

 

I am currently residing with my girlfriend and two week old baby and I am a named joint tenant who consistently pays my monthly council tax fees. The problem is, I am frightened that the Bailiff may track me down to my current address through the council tax records and I am frightened as my girlfried and baby should not live in fear due to my past negligence in missing two months council tax installments.

 

My main concern is for my partner and new born baby. I intend to pay the full amount but can't find the amount to pay in full.

 

Can the bailiff enter and seize goods from my mums home?

 

Has the bailiff the power to trace me at my new address?

 

Can I in any way request that the council take back the debt?

 

Please help as I am living in fear.

 

Many many thanks,

 

Davey.

no he cant

Has the bailiff the power to trace me at my new address?

yes he Will trace you to your new address

you are going to have to give the council your address to get them away from your mums home and for you to deal with this

Can I in any way request that the council take back the debt?

its not easy to get the council to take a debt especially if you have defaulted on a payment agreement already

you and your mum will have to do some letter writing (i can help you with this)

your letter for your mum will be easy

are you working

are you clamming benefits

What you can do in the meantime, is pay the council via their online payment facility, all you need is the account number, pay what you can, and keep receipts and write to the council to tell them this is what you have done, it shows willingness to pay and may help.
