    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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 feel honoured, HFO have sent me a 72 hour notice !

 

I've had no previous communication from them until this last week. A few days ago they sent a copy of what could be an Experian report, but is inaccurate. The letter that came with it claims they have worked out that I can afford to repay my debt. The crucial part is that the bit which says they've confirmed the address is saying 'no' - so they cannot be sure they even have the right person. That letter goes on to say they have confirmed I am the property owner, I'm not.

 

Then I find a 72 hour notice of litigation waiting for me when I got home tonight. A direct Debit form and the infamous EX326 copy. Did HFO get a new photocopier for Christmas then?

 

They've also called the office during the week and spoken to one of the staff. Thankfully, my colleague is up on these things and refused to confirm who he was, which just got the guy at the other end wound up enough to insist that he was talking to me and giving out details of the alleged debt...!

 

Now I have the letter it tells me what the alleged debt is about and I've previously had to tell two other DCA's to 'go away' through not being able to produce any CCA paperwork - so that means HFO are acting unlawfully by dealing with this whilst valid requests are still outstanding.

 

The letter itself is badly written, I'm wondering what a "County Court Claim From" is...? They are claiming something from the court maybe.

 

Looks like I need to send them the 'go away you muppet, this line of action is doomed to failure' letter.

 

Am I wasting a stamp ?

Ooh, seems they're having a bit of a purge of late, quite a few 72 hour pillocks notices being sent out!

 

2nd class stamp, if you feel obliged to respond to their puerile missive..

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Thanks Shadow

 

Hillard - have HFO bought this debt and sent you a Notice of Assignment?

 

Who is the OC and who else has been chasing it? Do you have copies of the CCA requests and corresponding account in dispute letter as you can inform HFO that the account was placed in dispute with xxxx on xxxx and this will save you sending another CCA request

 

I am adding some complaint links below particularly complain to Experian about the use of the credit report (see thread on this) and MOJ about the use of their leaflets. Also you must register a complaint with OFT and attach copies of the correspondence. Also complaint to ICO.

Oooooooohhhhh - hornets nest stirred it seems, sorry if I appear to have jumped in on another thread, was just adding my 2p worth to that, not meaning to detract from the OP's cause but to add to the content.

 

I was so excited to get the 72 hour notice though, normally DCA's don't reach that stage because I've already told them to clear off following their previous correspondence. This time I've only had the two letters noted, the Experian report and the 72 hour notice. I've not seen a NoA or other document to say they are dealing with this, or that they've bought it, or even that they would like to become penpals.

 

It's a few years since this was last chased, I've looked back on what records I have. It was chased by Lowells and then MacKensie Hall. I'm going to look and see what else I have on file. It's possible another DCA had it earlier than that, my memory is not what it used to be.

 

OC was Citibank, I had lodged a dispute with them regarding (their lack of) payment under PPI following unemployment. I later disputed the fact they had added charges and interest whilst the account was in dispute. I was still waiting for them to deal with that when the original DCA letters arrived. I sent a CCA request at the time, it crossed with them going to Muck Hall. Lowells said they were contacting their client, I sent them a 'too late, you've blown it' letter, then all went quiet again.

 

The EX326 is just a copy of the Internet form at http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/ex326_0405.pdf

 

The 'Experian report' is difficult to read, it's from a colour laser printer I think. Very small font size and, from what bits I've strained my eyes at, tells me I have no less than 5 bank accounts I don't know about. I have not had time to go through it all yet.

 

I did a letter last night (2nd class stamp already on it), not yet posted, and have since made some revision to further slap them in the face for their continued naughtiness ;-)

 

Many thanks for the various links coledog, saved me a lot of searching.

If they have not sent a Notice of assignment, ask them to prove their right to actually chase you for payment on this particularly as you have previously disputed this with other parties.

 

Request a copy of their formal complaints procedure (I like it when they get these requests).

 

Make sure that you state 'I do not acknowledge any debt to your company'

 

Make official complaints ASAP

I notice the form the send doesn't even tell you that you have a legal right to defend their claim, the number of people lately I have explained that just because they have the paperwork it ISNT a CCJ until judgement and that you can and should defend it.

 

Does the HMRC know about the misuse of this form?

Subbing

 

Top CAG Tip, for anyone else looking to subscribe:

You don't need to add a message to sub to a thread - go to the top of the page and look for 'Thread Tools' just above the first post. You can quickly sub (or un sub) to any thread using that.

 

HMCS??

 

Def make a complaint to them

 

DCA's often quote the MOJ, usually in with words like could or may, but to send a copy of a court document and say they will “enforce our judgement” before they even have one is a bit much!

Now they've sent the 'Notice of intended litigation' letter, where the red box appears in the window of the envelope for the postie to see ! Timescales of what they might do, telling me they don't like that I've not agreed a repayment plan with them and they don't have any option but to go to court, then give me a load of waffle about how that's going to take weeks. Another copy of a court document about fees this time.

I was looking at the Experian report they sent, there's a bit where it says 'verified at this address' or something, and that's marked 'no' - which means they have not fully checked that I live where they sent it, must be a further breach of the DPA.

So, I sent them a letter, telling them I wasn't happy with their threats and to go away as this has been dealt with before. They can either continue with their programme of junk mail and annoy me further, or return the case to the OC, who should be dealing with the original dispute anyway. I'm not about to waste another quid asking them for a valid CCA I know they cannot produce. I added bits in about harassment and not to phone, then reduced everything to rather a small, just about readable, font size before sending.

Having to wait until payday next week to do a SAR to Citi, disadvantage of being on pre-pay energy meters at this time of year, they guzzle money! May as well get the latest info as to what they have on file, if they remember me at all.

Waiting to see if Horrendous Flatulent Orifice do more than send the usual 'we have returned this case to our client' - I have a strong dislike of DCA's who attempt to intimidate or threaten.

I think that you will find that HFO or an HFO company have actually bought this from Citi - although they have not actually sent you a proper 'notice of assignment' to inform you of this, therefore they will not be passing it back as such but may shut up if you challenge them.

 

Have you made a CCA request to them and also ask what right they have to purue you?

I did CCA the previous DCA, years ago, they could not supply any paperwork and slithered away. I did say I was not about to waste another quid of repeating that move, I know only too well that they will take the money as a 'payment' to say I've admitted something or other.

Their paper generating machine probably has a couple more red lettered standard letters to send me yet, I'm waiting for a more personalised response.
