    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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.

Hi Guys

I've had a reply from the court with a standard order for stay.

As far as I can see, the claimant will apply for a further extension if tyhey have not received the CCA or we both go to court to fill out another allocation questionnaire and proceed to do battle.

Any advice please?

 

Also I have Apex threatening to take me to the small claims court in respect of a TSB credit card debt of just over £1k, are the rules the same insomuch as a default notice should be served and a valid CCa and statement of account should be produced etc etc?

Good - it looks like this has been stayed, which is what we were hoping. They can come back at you in future but hopefully have got the message.

 

Re Apex , you need to send them a CCA request - do you need the links? May be worth starting a new thread on this one, on Debt Collection Forum. Some info on how old this is etc would be useful and you may need some info from TSB but I would not worry about it

Please support CAG and they will support you.

Hi Guys

I've had a resonse from morgans in view of trying to settle the claim before going to court, see attached.

Not sure what my response should be.

I did offer a settlement figure of approx 18% previouysly but this was declined, so I guess I should remove this offer.

Also should I waffle on about not being provided with a CCA or complete statement of account, having been trying to get one since Sept 2009.

You can reply that you made a genuine offer of settlement but that their conduct in failing to comply with the CCA has led you to believe that this matter should be decided by the courts.

 

Restate whatever offer you want to make, if any, and simply restate that the flaws in their case.

 

Make sure you make them aware that conduct works both ways ;-)

Morgan Solicitors

5 Mitchell Court

Castle Mound Way

Rugby

CV23 0UY

27th April 2011

Cabot Reference:

In the Rugby County Court

Cabot -v-

Claim Number:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am in receipt of your letter dated 5th April 2011 in respect of a settlement negotiation and after due and careful consideration, I offer the following reply.

You will appreciate that I am defending myself and as such have no legal training in any such matters.

On 11th December 2010, I made, what I considered to be a fair and reasonable offer to the claimant’s client Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited of £xxxx.xx to settle the account in full without prejudice with financial help from my family. Obviously this offer has been declined. I therefore withdraw that offer.

Since September 2009, I have written various letters (in what I believed to be of the correct protocol and directed to the relevant parties) requesting a copy of the CCA and statement of account. To date I haven’t received this information.

It is of my opinion, that the claimant has not conducted their claim in a correct and orderly fashion, but rather that it has been based on intimidation.

The claimant has not sought to obtain a copy of the CCA or full statement of account prior to making their claim, which I would assume to be a pre-requisite to proving and enforcing the claimant’s claim. I would therefore question the validity of the served default notice and notice of assignment as the claimant is obviously in default of not having supplied a copy of the CCA and full statement of account thatI may view.

With this in mind, I see no alternative but to go to court, whereupon I shall be asking the court to strike out the claimant’s claim and award any costs against the claimant.

Yours sincerely,

One pointer, i wouldn't use abbreviations, CCA while you may understand what it refers to, the person the other end may not.

 

also im baffled by this

 

The claimant has not sought to obtain a copy of the CCA or full statement of account prior to making their claim, which I would assume to be a pre-requisite to proving and enforcing the claimant’s claim. I would therefore question the validity of the served default notice and notice of assignment as the claimant is obviously in default of not having supplied a copy of the CCA and full statement of account thatI may view.

 

I dont see how the validity of the Default notice can be questioned, if the Claimant hasnt complied with s78 CCA 1974 for example as it would be the s78 breach which precludes the enforcement.

 

If the Default notice is not compliant with the regulations then this gives a further limb to attack on, it is not however in place of the s78 breach but in addition to it.

 

If they cannot prove service of the notice of assignment then they may still rely on equity as their aid so that would not defeat their claim either

Hi Guys

I got a reply back from morgans (see attached file).

Along with these letters came to copies of agreements (basically one dated 01-09-2002 and the other dated 01-11-2009) both of which are titled Credit Agreements regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and contain my name and address at the top BUT do not contain my credit card account reference number, ie they are photocopies with my name and address at the the top as well as Citibank's.

The attached letter from Citi The Debtor's Credit Agreement Request is dated 8th April 2011, which means morgans obtaiuned a copy of the CCA's within weeks of asking, whereas, I the customer couldn't get one for love nor money since asking since Sept 2009, so I'm a bit miffed about that.

In morgan's letter, they state that they are under no obligation to provide a full history of the account, so how am I supposed to deduce how the final alleged debt was arrived at and whether it was correctly calculated.

Also the court stayed procedings until 11th may 2011, yet morgans are giving me another two weeks to respond to there letter which goes beyond the 11th May. Will I be getting a letter from the court soon ?

Any ideas where I should go from here ?

many thanks

Hi Guys

It looks like my only form of defence is now to complain that I don't believe the claim against me has been made in an intimidating fashion and has not followed the correct protocol.

  • Court case stayed until 11th May 2011.
  • in Sept 2009 I applied to Citi for CCA etc under the 974 S78 act together with my £1, I received nothing.
  • Default Notice served while Citi in default.
  • Notice of Assignment to Cabot served while Citi in default, other than letter from Citi, no proof of assignment (deeds etc) supplied.
  • SAR sent to Citi, full statement of account not supplied.
  • 6th May, Morgans supplied copy of reconstituted CCA, stating they now have enough info to enforce claim, and they do not need to supply full statement of account to quantify debt.

Looks like I'm on a sticky wicket, any advice please ?

I'm afraid none of the above seems to me to be a valid defence....Whilst in default of responding to a s78 request they may do everything bar gain judgment in court, this has been determined in court and backed up by the OFT, therefore all the actions you list are valid even whilst in default of responding.

 

I havent looked back but did Citi actually send you a default notice? it wasnt the norm for them to do this.

 

I would seriously think about the next step as it will cost you more in costs to actually proceed to court with this action if you could potentially negotiate with them prior.

Am I missing something here? Your defence is that they haven't supplied a copy of the original agreement. I know creditors will argue Carey allows for a reconstitued agreement in response to the s.78 request but the original is required in court. No original should mean no judgement.

I guess it's whether you want to continue with this line, if I'm wrong I stand corrected.

thanks Tonster

are we saying that if the original (copy) CCA with my signature is not supplied in court then the debt remains uneforcable.....is that cut and dried or would it be for the judge to decide ?

I have been supplied with a re-constituted CCA (photocopy single sided) with my name and address at the top, but it doesnt contain any signatures. basically its just the t & c's.

It must still contain the prescribed inclusions, reconstitute copies are for the supplying of information ie Sec 77/78 only

not enforcing in a court of law, but as you quite rightly state, right DJ, right day and mood and knowledge of the CCA is another force to consider

carefully before continuing.

Oh !!!! why dopes everything have to be so grey instead of simply being black or white, no wonder solicitors make a lot of money....

 

The problem is county court is governed by DJ's who deal in the law of probabilities not absolutes as in criminal law so its a case of the judge being convinced who has the best presentation/story/facts etc.
