    • Hello I hope someone can give me some advice here, as I am at a bit of a loss on how to proceed. This relates to alleged offences under the RTA. Yesterday I received a notification from the local police of intention to prosecute for the following offences: 1 driving without due care and attention 2 failing to stop at a road traffic accident 3 failing to report a road traffic accident At this stage they have only asked me to say whether I was the driver at the time or not and provided a blank sheet of paper to give information about the incident. Going by the location (just round the corner from where I live) I can only imagine this relating to one recent incident, which wasn't actually an accident but more of a road rage event. I was driving past someone unloading or working next to his lorry which had stopped in the road. I wasn't going fast or anything, while I went by lorry man turned around and punched and kicked my car whilst going past him. I stopped and got out and wanted to know what he thought he was doing punching and kicking my car. He then hurled some verbal abuse at me, swearing and he was quite aggressive. I still didn't know what his problem was and said I would report him to his company for threatening behaviour and vandalism for punching my car. I got my phone and tried to take a photo of his lorry and number plate but at that moment he came right at me, still shouting and swearing, so I was worried he may hit me next, as he already punched my car. I thought if the guy hits me I will come off second best, so I decided to retreat. I quickly got back into my car and left. When I checked my phone later the photo I tried to take was blurred and useless, so I thought it was pointless to report the incident to the police, as the guy would not be traceable. Over that I forgot about it until I got the letter yesterday in the post. This is the only thing I believe this can relate to, but I have no idea based on what the three above allegations come from There was no road traffic accident, more of a road rage incident. So I am at a loss what to do. I have 28 days to respond. Should I just say yes I was the driver and was there and see what happens next, or should I already make a written statement on the attached piece of paper they sent me and send that with it ? Is there anyone here who would have a rough idea what to do next ? I tried my legal advice line through my Union, but they have sent me from pillar to post, now say it needs to go to a different department again and that would be chargeable as the RTA comes under Criminal Law. So any advice would be appreciated Many Thanks
    • So a quick update got bounced around two different departments and managed to speak to a DVLA bod , explained the situation and they could see the overlap and that DD payments had been made from Feb , also no formal remiders prior , they gave me a number for the legal dept who I am calling this morning to see what they can do in terms of the SJP notice , still have time to submit this online.  Will update after my chat this morning 
    • Also, I am trying to understand how invoicing a large sum in a 6m period becomes tax fraud?   Is it because if he had invoiced over the £85k threshold he should have been obligated to charge vat?  Which would have meant hmrc would have benefited from the vat amount? So by not charging it Hmrc have lost out on £s revenue?  Is that what makes it tax fraud? So as a self-employed contractor, let's say he invoiced one Co for 200k.  Should he have charged vat on the full 200k (£40k)? Or just on the sum above the threshold (£23k)?  And that by not charging vat, he has knowingly withheld tax £s from Hmrc? And is the payer complicit ?

    • 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.

I also want to say that I thank you each and every one of you for all your help, advice, support, everything really. I have tried reading lots of threads similar to this and trying to get the jist of the defense but I dont want to put anything I dont understand, so its just bare bones at the moment. All your help is very much appreciated and it heartens me to see the support on this site

 

Anyhow..................

Hi lamb, This may sound silly but the number of cases I have been involved with

where the judge in a County Court has been completely overwhelmed by the amount of legal jargon/case law etc.

and has said just tell me the facts as you see them has outnumbered the times a judge has read every word of every submission.I think is's

often best to keep it as simple as possible.

Don't try to be something you aren't lamb. You are a litigant in person and all you have to do is put it in your own words what's happened to you. Once the words are in place it can be tidied up with paragraphs numbered, statement of truth etc,

 

In fact I would say it will be better for you to keep it simple so that you are comfortable that you are clear on your own arguments and can handle any questions that might come your way in court - if it gets that far.

Thank you Caro, its very daunting thinking that you have to know every legal term and so on. So your reassurance is most welcome, and its also somehat of a learning curve for me, the more I learn then I can help others and get more confidence

If you don't understand it, don't use it lamb. IMO that's where a lot of people have gone wrong. Many hearings are only a few minutes and judges don't want to spend hours reading - in fact as brigadier says - they probably don't, so just stick to what you know and keep it simple. The judge will have more respect for you if he sees you're genuine and not being an "armchair lawyer".

whats that on post 248?

 

Hello Lamb

 

I think that was meant for stateside audience.

 

As said by others, draft your defence in good old fashioned English, its your arguments against the claim that you need to understand in respect of the legalities of them, even so, you should still write out your counter-arguments in plain, clear and concise English, you have knowledge of the case inside and out, we only know what you report here and therefore advise accordingly upon the same.

 

See how you get on this week in respect of the claimant responding to your request for a date for disclosure of docs.

 

Kind regards

This is how I have started, but there are bits I dont know how to finish off

 

In the Northampton county courtlink3.gif.................... ......................... ......................... .................Claim No:

Between:

 

 

Cabot Financial (UK) Limited

 

 

And

 

 

Lamb

 

 

I, Lamb, age 21 of 33 of 33 Debt Street, DCAlink3.gifTown, CRAP BOT am the Defendant in these proceedings and I make this statement in defence to the claim

 

 

The Defendant denies that there has been any failure to make payment in accordance with the alleged contract. The Claimant has failed to produce a copy of a credit agreement in the requisite timescale at all

 

Without Disclosure of the relevant documentation I am unable to assess if I am indeed liable to the claimant, nor am I able to assess if the alleged agreement is properly executed, contain the required prescribed terms, or correct figures to make such an agreement enforceable by virtue of s127 Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

The Claimant has failed to issue a valid Default Notice as required under s. 87 Consumer Credit Act 1974 thus making any termination of the agreement unlawful.

 

The Claimant has failed to issue a Notice of Assignment and therefore is unable to prove that

the Claimant has any right to bring this claim or indeed that the alleged debt has been assigned to the Claimant.

 

The Claimant has not provided a Statement of Truth to the Defendant stating that this reconstructed agreement is a certified and true copy of the original therefore the Defendant is unable not sure how to end this

 

The Claimant has not provided a Notice Of Termination not sure how to end this

 

The Claimant has informed me in writing that The Claimant will not correspond with me further in this matter thus not sure how to word the end of this

 

 

Is there anything else I should be adding to this?

You can't really do much until/unless you get the documents you need, then you can deal with it.

Good afternoon Lamb

 

Pg 1 post#29 & 58 - Morgans Solicitors letter demanding payment of full balance!

 

Pg 4 post# 69 - Claimant's POC's: Assignee of a debt, Notice of Assignment having been delivered to the defendant in writing, demands for payment £xx remains due and the claimant claims £xxxx!!!!

 

What sum amount is the claimant claiming?

 

Said letter sent by Morgans demanding full balance is termination.

 

Claimant asserts in his POC's that NOA has been delivered, therefore put him to strict proof on service of such.

 

Come back - Roger - over.

 

Kind regards

The above statutory notice must be served before the creditor can become entitled to enforce, dated 6 June 2011- months after he issued his claim, what amount is claimed in his POC's and has he added interest to that sum?

 

Kind regards

Lamb

 

With reference to s196(3) as stated in the claimant's above letter and the authority he intends to rely upon in respect of the same, I refer you to his pleading/statement of case (POC's) regarding his allegation that said statutory notice [has] been delivered to you.

 

Kind regards
