    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 have received a County Court Claim from RBOS. :-x

 

However, at the time I received it was too late to reply until after the 14 days. I have done an acknowledgement online and emailed the court for advice but so far received nothing back. The actual alleged debt is in dispute due to outstanding requests for a proper agreement.

 

Can I ask what I can do please? I have heard nothing and not had chance to submit my defence, am I up the creek so to speak or is there something I can do?

 

Thanks

Hello ConsumerMark

 

Issued out of Northampton? Contact the court and explain that you did not receive the summons until after time for filing AOS.

 

Contact the claimant (or his Solicitors) explain what has happened with the delay in receiving the claim and request an agreement from him to extend the time for filing your defence/response.

 

What is the date on the Claim form (N1)?

 

Kind Regards

The date was back in December and Im worried now that Ill look stupid for getting into debt and stupid for not getting advice sooner.

 

I have sent a letter and email to the court, but have had no acknowledgement. Does anyone have a letter template that may help?

 

Not sure if it is related for not but I keep getting letters from EuroDebt including the actual claim reference and amount - is this a bad sign?

I missed a deadline for responding to a claim and as a result, Default Judgment was entered against me. However, I applied for a set aside and got it (although it cost me £75!), and now I have a chance to defend.

Since my last question, I made an appointment with citizens advice and had to wait a month and then went back to see a specialist who helped me with the set aside.

 

Problem is that I have now received a charging order and dont know what to do. It will be weeks before i get another CA appointment!

 

I think that the application for set aside has crossed as opposed to them ignoring or denying my request but Im not sure what to do?

 

I have letters from the bank following CCA and DPA requests stating that they do not hold the signed credit agreements but this episode with the court and receiving the documents late is really starting to worry me.

 

sorry to be so impatient, but can anyone please help or point me in the right direction? thanks

 

Just to add to this... other than a notification of charging order I have received nothing.

 

Should I have received a notification of the judgement and if so should I try to get hold of this as it may contain the banks evidence ?

consumer

you say above in post #5 that you had specialist help re a set aside application? any developments on that? as you say, it may have crossed and is still in progress?

as the nat. debt. link re set aside says; 'enforcement' action may not stop automatically because an application has been made, and that it should be requested on the n244 set aside application that any enforcement action is stopped/stayed until the set aside hearing is heard!

I sent a CCA request and SAR request to RBS over a credit card. After much correspondence, they admitted that they did not hold the original signed credit agreement but that the debt was still enforceable despite their 'admin error'.

 

I offered them a token £1 per month payment and tried to settle the debt at 20p in the pound - they told me to get stuffed.

 

I received a County Court Claim from Northampton but was already past the 14 days to acknowledge and so was unable to defend.

 

I now have a charging order from a court on the other side of the country.

 

I believe that I should request a set aside for both cases, is this the correct course of action?

hi ford, thanks for the advice on the n244 - I am almost ready to send this but have tied myself in knots reading different topics on this site.

 

I have to say that my local citizens advice were not helpful despite their best efforts. the specialist was basically a debt councilor who advise me about different payment plans and options and i dont think that this will help me here.

 

I will contest the CCJ on the basis that I didnt recieve it in time. I did actually do an acknowledgement online before I realised the dates.

 

Im told that not recieing it is just the standard cop out that everyone tires it on with and that it will usually get laughed at by the court and wastes the £75 - is this true?

I have no prsonal experience of this so am not best placed to advise you, but I would imagine it would depend on the evidence you have. If you have the original letter and envelope with a postmark that is after the 14 days, they can't really argue with you!

You can apply for a set aside via the N244 application form found on the hm courts website, fill it out online and print.

 

You do need to ask yourself if you can defend this claim tho, an alternative is to seek apply for a redetermination which will hopefully set payments at a level you can afford, you'll have to provide an I&E to the court to back up your claim you cant afford the amount they are asking you to pay etc.

Thanks for the help, really appreciated.

 

Im not sure that the charging order will go through as the debt isnt enforceable, I have little or no equity and have larger debts that will probably take priority.

 

Do I acknowledge the charging order and apply for local court or am I also setting this aside on the grounds of a request to setaside the CCJ? (sorry if im getting mixed up here)

I think you need to prepare yourself... you have a CCJ against you thus the creditor is entitled to their money in the eyes of the court,

 

 

the interim charging order will be granted straight away on application and a hearing for the final charging order will be set,

it is then you will have to argue why it shouldnt be made.

 

 

You will not be able to say that the debt is unenforceable without setting aside the previous CCJ.

 

 

All the judge will care about is that there is a judgement debt and that the charging order is just in his opinion, if he thinks it is then he will grant the final order.

I understand this won't be a walk on the park but it doesn't seem just that they can turn an unenforceable debt into a secured debt because of the post.

 

Are you saying I have little or no chance? Or am I going about it the wrong way?

 

I'm very confused about the dates.

 

The cca was granted in Northampton in December.

 

The charging order was granted in February with a follow up on April. I cannot see what it is I need to acknowledge as this is all from their (in house) solicitors and nothing from the court.

 

Any help with set aside and charging order gratefully accepted!

Your misunderstanding me.. I'm saying that at this moment in time you cannot fight the charging order because you already have a CCJ against you, the judge will in all likeliness rubber stamp the final order within 10 minutes of the hearing started.

 

What you need to do is to apply to set aside the CCJ and then the ball will start rolling and so long as you get the set aside the CO will be removed for now. You will go back to the stage of being able to defend the claim but as I stated previous CAN you defend the claim.. on what basis.

 

I'm not sure if you are aware of the test cases and enforceability but might be worth you looking up McGuffick vs RBS, Carey vs HSBC

Shadow, I assume that the set aside will usually be granted on basis of non receipt and you are questioning if I can defend the CCJ?

 

On the test cases, my understanding is that the debt will still stand (and I am not trying to avoid paying). However an unenforceable debt will be paid on slightly more palatable terms and for example they cannot force the issue and cannot sell my house?

 

The n244 looks daunting for me, I contacted Northampton court who told me that they cannot help with a set aside and I should contact the court dealing with the charging order. If anyone can advise with regards to the set aside, Id be really grateful!

Yes although you will need to get your skates on, there are implied time limits to applying for a set aside of a verdict (even by default) when the defendant becomes aware of the misjustice.

Possibly, although the same could be said with a request for a redertimination of the CCJ award, as for the charging order... unless this is a small amount the judges would normally allow a claimant to secure the debt against the property even if you were being allowed to repay at a set amount monthly.

No I'm afraid the courts will not aid in filling out any applications....

 

Basically you are seeking a set aside of the verdict given by DJ xxxxxxxx in county court xxxxxxxxx, case ref xxxxxxx on xx of xxxxxxxx 2010, the reasons for your request to set aside are that you didnt receive the actual court claim until after the 14 days to respond had passed.

 

This site is a self help site with a mixed bag of volunteers who try and keep threads progressing :-) I would suggest you search in the legal forum (the one this thread is posted in) and look for anything that has in the title something along the lines of "Set Aside".

How did you get notification of this??? was it by post or when you phoned the courts in relation to the charging order?

 

The charging order was granted in February with a follow up on April. I cannot see what it is I need to acknowledge as this is all from their (in house) solicitors and nothing from the court.

There is no notification from the courts on an interim charging order as far as I'm aware, you'll be sent a letter by the land registry to notify that a temp charge is in place I believe.

 

One question I can't find (not for lack of trying) should oli have received some sort of notification of the judgement or did the case get heard and only the bank got notified? I see nothing online or in the post???

Hello Ford, I was seeing a specialist who was supposed to hlep me with this, I took all the documents but it was a bit of a mix up and the debt specialist was telling me about my options and what I can do, basically iva, bankruptcy, payment plans etc. He said that the route I was going was high risk and not something they can help with.

 

Im still reading up on here about how to do this, found a few good threads but a lot to take in.

 

Northampton Court have told me to send the set aside to the court dealing with the charging order (who are on the otherside of the uk). The other court have said the opposite so Im confused. I also have recieved no judgement or any details so not sure if I am missing vital documents?
