    • best to be sure it is a N279. not that they pull any underhand stunts of course   but we have seen it. your bal is now £0 but we'll still attend court as you'll probably not as we've said we've closed the account and we'll get a judgement by default. dx  
    • Sorry, last bit They had ticked that they wanted the application dealt with without a hearing, so is there any relevance that a date and time to attend said hearing has been sent out ?
    • I've not seen it personally but I think that's the letter Dad has had from Overdales. I'll see it tomorrow. It states balance: zero
    • Agreed as you clearly have little faith in your star runners, mind you - I have less - conditional on the welcher clause I defined being part, and that we are talking about the three defined candidates: Tice Farage and Anderson - not anyone anywhere as reform might (outside chance) get someone decent to run somewhere. If any of the three dont run - they count as a loss.   welcher clause. "If either of us loses and doesn't pay - we agree the site admin will change the welchers avatar permanently to a cows ass - specific cows ass avatar chosen by the winner - with veto by site on any too offensive - requiring another to be chosen  (or of course, DP likely allows you can delete your account and all your worthless posts to cheapskate chicken out and we'll just laugh) "
    • This is the full details, note they have made an error (1) in that paragraph 5 stated 14 days before hearing not 7. Surely a company of their size would proof read and shouldn't make basic errors like that 1) The Claimant respectfully applies for an extension of time to comply with paragraph 5 of the Order of Deputy District Judge XXX dated XX March 2024 i.e. the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely shall be filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing. 2) The Claimant seeks a short extension of time allow them to further and properly investigate data provided to them by Royal Mail which is of importance to the proceedings and determination of the Claim. 3) The Claimant and Royal Mail have an information sharing agreement. Under the agreement, Royal Mail has provided data to the Claimant in respect of the matters forming the basis of these proceedings. The Claimant requires more time to consider this data and reconcile it against their own records. The Claimant may need to seek clarification and assurances from Royal Mail before they can be confident the data is correct and relevant to the proceedings i.e. available to be submitted as evidence. 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024. 6) This application is a pre-emptive one for an extension of time made prior to the expiry of the deadline. In considering the application, the Court is required to exercise its broad case management powers and consider the overriding objective. 7) In circumstances where applications are made in time, the Court should be reticent to refuse reasonable applications for extensions of time which neither imperil hearing dates nor disrupt proceedings, pursuant to Hallam Estates v Baker [2014] EWCA Civ 661. 😎 It is respectfully submitted that the application is made pursuant to the provisions of CPR 3.1(2)(a) and in accordance with the overriding objective to ensure the parties are on an equal footing when presenting their cases to the Court. The requested extension of time does not put the hearing at risk and granting the Application will not be disruptive to the proceedings.   They have asked for extension Because 2) The Claimant requires additional time to consider and reconcile data received from Royal Mail which is relevant to these proceedings against their own data and records in order to submit detailed evidence in support of this Claim.

    • 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.

4 Bailiffs seized my car while it was parked in my driveway for unpaid council tax. They told me it will be sold at action within 7 days unless I give them £5000 in CASH right away!

 

I am beside myself with worry....do I have ANY RIGHTS? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

you must have letters from the council before the bailiffs arrived

do you know the amount of the liability order

 

I have never herd of them before so I googled 'Burns' and 'Goddard' and cant find a bailiff firm with this name (I'm not saying they don't exist have a google and see what you can find out about them ) normally when a bailiff firm is heavy handed like this you find complaints on google about them

 

what is the name of the bailiff on the 'Removal of Goods Notice'

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?210956-On-line-search-to-check-if-a-Bailiff-is-Certificated.....

 

I put Burns and Goddard and Burns & Goddard in the on-line search and came up with nothing (this list is not 100% accurate ) put the bailiffs name and see what you can find

 

 

'Removal of Goods Notice'(thats the form i was thinking about )sorry

Hi....They are real Bailiffs because I phoned

Tameside Revenues Division,

Exchequer and Support Services,

Council Offices, and spoke to the guy in charge of the dept, who confirmed they have the car and intend to sell it if I don't pay at least £5000 by next week!

I wasn't saying they don't exist usually you get an idea of what you are up against by the amount of complaints you find and i couldn't find any

the bailiff that removed the car must be certificated

 

 

one thing for sure if there is more than 1 liability order you will be charged multiple fee (this is not allowed)

I suspect this has been a planned action by the Council and their internal Bailiffs. From what you say earlier it appears this has been ongoing for a number of years.

 

You need to establish how many Liability Orders you have against you? How much each one is for? How much is outstanding on each one? When they were issued? What periods of time the covered? When they passed them to the Bailiff to action?

 

You also need to ask the Bailiffs fora Breakdown of charges on each account - you can go back 6 years. If you haven't the account numbers you can SAR the Council - most do this free of charge but if they insist it's only a tenner.

 

Possibly the only other person who may be able to help will be your local Councillor.

It was for varing amounts accumulated with various added costs and charges since 2003

 

Sorry, but I have not been posting very much lately as I have an awful problem responding to queries as the print is so tiny and I am constantly making so many spelling errors!!

 

Sadly, with a debt this size and going back 6 or 7 years you will not find that the local authority will be willing to have their bailiff's agree a payment proposal, in particular given that they have a car (without finance) which could

provide a lump sum to bring the arrears down.

 

You need to be aware that in the normal course of events, if a car is "worth" approx £9,000 it will normally only raise approx £2,000 at auction. Did you give the bailiff the keys to the car?

 

Have you obtained breakdowns from the bailiff co that have been charged under each account?
