    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.
    • Did you ever think of walking away? Become bankrupt and in 12 months it'll all be behind you. My feeling is that you may well get nothing from the sale of the property anyway. Going by the date this thread started it looks like eight years of arrears, lender's costs and receiver’s fees on top.
    • Just to clarify - I make use of evening legal clinics. It is not always possible to see a lawyer (they have limited time and days/week).  This means questions one has may never get answered or there's weeks between follow-ups.   To be really clear - I am representing myself; I am playing at being lawyer/ barrister - which means I take help wherever I can get it (and then research it thoroughly). Ae - a judge in a recent hearing pointed out the receiver is not part of my current proceedings - and suggested I have a separate claim v the receiver. Disclosure has presented damning evidence v the receiver  The receiver against whom I have a complaint is not part of the receiver governing body.   The receivership is in 2 names - a joint one.  My complaint is directed at whom I was told is the lead receiver.  The other named receiver IS a member of the governing body.  But he has now left the company.  And the lead receiver has retired - but is still a working consultant on my case.   All the evidence shows it was the 'lead' receiver who was doing all the  work/ the misbehaviour.   But if the appointment was 'joint' would I make a complaint against them both?    I am sure that wouldn't go down well with the other receiver who is at the beginning of his career. The law is very much against borrowers.   But the evidence against this receivership is crystal clear.   I just don't know how and to whom to complain.   The places I've tried so far don't offer much transparency

    • 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.

Being chased by Robinson Way for a bill I don't owe

Hi,

Back in 2007 I ended a dual fuel gas/electricity account with British Gas at a previous address. I paid off the final bill and it seems that the electricity payment got paid into the gas account by mistake. Back then I instructed BG to transfer the money over to the other account to pay that off, they said they would but apparently they never did.

 

In September I started getting phone calls to my mobile from Robinson Way who were chasing this "debt".

 

I got in touch with BG billing dept. and managed to figure out what was going on - ie. they had sold my debt to Robinson Way.

 

The people at BG told me they would get the debt returned and would remove all the default notices from my credit files.

 

Some time went by and then Robinson Way started contacting me again. I spoke to them as little as I possibly could, but found out enough to know that they were refuting that BG had instructed that the debt be returned. So spoke to a different person at BG and went through the rigmarole again. They told me that they would clear the matter up.

Today, I got another letter from Robinson Way and so I called up British gas billing dept and had another now all to familiar phone call.

What do I do next? Call me pessimistic but I have got no faith in British Gas's ability to get this debt returned from RW or more importantly get my credit file cleared.

 

Actually, the thing which bothers me the most is that RW are, every month, slapping Default notices on my credit file. My credit score is currently the lowest / worst its possible to have.

 

What way can I bring out the 'big guns' in order to make both British Gas sort out their mistake properly and also to force Robinson Way to remove 3 years worth of montly Default notices?

An help / advice apprreciated.

Thanks

Hi morp

 

Write a Formal Letter of Complaint to the Chief Executive of British Gas. Mark the e-mail as such. [email protected]

Tell him everything that has happened, tell him why it's happen, tell him that you want it investigated.

Tell him that you will take the matter further if it isn't resolved.

 

Oh, don't speak to British Gas or Robinson Way on the phone, send Recorded letters. Over the phone no one will take any responsibility. At least you have a paper trail of your complaints.

British Gas and their wonderful flawless customer service!

Firstly, put this in writing to BG, telephone calls do not work as you have found your cost, which if they fail to act appropriately and expeditiously will in turn cost them for damages payable to you.

 

Here is their complaints procedure. And I would escalate it straight to Step 2 'Andy Eley'

http://www.britishgas.co.uk/complaints-process.html

 

Tell him that as they have made an error with you account, which has now resulted in them passing this onto their tame debt collectors 'Robbers way' and they have been processing your data incorrectly, with the CRA's, you will be seeking legal advice with a view to suing BG and their appointed DCA for damages and for processing your data and incorrectly adding defaults on your credit file. The last I heard was that for each incorrect entry on your credit file, they were awarding £1,000 per incorrect entry.

 

Ignore robbers way, just file there puerile letters under ignore, your complaint is with BG not this outfit! If after 8 weeks your complaint is satisfied then contact the energy ombudsman http://www.energy-ombudsman.org.uk/

 

You could also contact the CRA's and tell them that the info on your file is incorrect, and you are seeking further legal advice.

I am rarely around these parts any more. I only stop by when something has come to my attention that has sufficiently annoyed me so as to persuade me to awake from my nap and put in my two pence.

It really does depend on how the incorrect data on your file has affected you, so if you failed to get a mortgage or a job because of the incorrect data on your file, the damages you could claim would be in proportion to your loss..

And before I forget, there is always the billing code, which would come into effect if they continue to be puerile!
