    • 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.

The problem with part 11 is it needs to be supported by "evidence". Now that can just be an ordinary old witness statement that says the debt is in Australia, the alleged default occurred in Australia whilst the defendant was in Australia and the claim would be governed by Australia's State and Federal laws and therefore the appropriate jurisdiction is in Australia. I guess you could muddy the waters by saying that you are in the UK temporarily and are considering returning to Australia, although you are not sure of when (it could be ten years!), and that may be enough.

 

Note that you have to make the application within 14 days of filing the AOS, although you could probably get away with doing it out of time and seeking leave for an extension on the same application.

 

I'd be interested to know the outcome of any such application.

I am beginning to think that perhaps S.D. are using you as a "test case" to see if they can pull this off. To my knowledge, this has never been accomplished before (securing a judgement via a UK court for overseas unsecured debt). Has anyone ever seen a case where this has sucessfully been done in the UK?

William,

Or they push it to the last moment thinking the defendant will be scared and make a desperate last bid to settle?

I have not been able to find a case on the net as you describe. I have spent a lot of time looking, but nothing found.

You could be correct. As you have previously advised, I think docker should continue to contest juridsiction until that issue is settled.

Hi guys, I've just recieved my allocation questionare from the courts, To say that i am ****ting a brick now would be an understatement it has to be back by may 6th. I really need to settle this before it gets to court. I can't run the risk of losing and be lialiable to repay the full amount ( now £14000). Any good idea's??

Have a look here:

 

http://www.aboutsmallclaims.co.uk/allocation-questionnaire-court-hearing.html

 

Part of it says:

 

"The parties can also request that the trial process be suspended for a month if they think that this might allow them to settle the claim by negotiation or some other method."

 

Perhaps you can get a suspension. I still think you should dispute jurisdiction - I'm no expert/lawyer, but I cannot believe the court has jurisdiction and it's just as simple as a DCA filing a claim. Otherwise, they would have been doing this for a long time.

 

Good luck and keep us posted.

What's the difference in paying it now or running it and losing it? Additional legal costs incurred by them, but otherwise nothing else. Pay a CCJ within one month of the date of judgment and it's removed from your credit report anyway.

Just fill it out. Answer yes for the one month stay to try and settle, nominate your local court where requested for reasons of convenience, say yes to complyiing to pre-action protocols, if you intend to make an application challenging jurisdiction or validity of assignment, make it and say so where required, allocate it to the fast track, final hearing 4 hours, ring SD and discuss proposed directions (ensuring they include an order for service of List of Documents and inspection of disclosure - critical), estimate your costs as zero unless you intend to instruct a solicitor.

 

Otherwise, at the end put in a blurb explaining that you intend to challenge jurisdiction and/or compliance with the appropriate state law etc in the bit for the judge so he knows something's brewing up.

 

It's a docile form that simply allocates the claim to a track and tried to help the judge set down an appropriate timetable.

 

Steam on, it only makes things more difficult for SD. It's critical that you require disclosure and challenge lawful or equitable assignment of the debt to Credit Corp if you didn't receive the Section 80 notice.

For my money I'd be insisting on changing courts from the choice of stevensdrake. Being the cynical person i am i wonder at the choice of court being Horsham? In the past they always seemed to use Brighton county court, but they have changed. I wonder why? Sympathetic judge? sympathetic to them that is. It wouldn't be the first time a circle of friends, contacts, or similar has been used to effect a decision. Like i said i am very cynical.

Hi everyone,

latest is that i've sent off another offer to stevensdrake to settle, and i've filled in my allocation questionaire for the courts so that is been sent off to them. I would love to be able take the risk of going to court but i don't have £14,000 to settle if i lose, and as i have my own small business and need credit i can't have a ccj against my name. I would love if stevensdrake would just accept an offer and **** off but i realise that negotiation takes time too!!!

Also how do i go about ringing SD to discuss and request disclosure?

Thanks for your help and messges everyone.

SD should propose directions, it is after all their case, those directions should include exchange of a List of Documents/disclosure as standard directions. If you wish to make an application use Form 244 http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/HMCSCourtFinder/GetForm.do?court_forms_id=484

 

For what it's worth filing a Defence (and possibly an Acknowledgement of Service) automatically transfers the matter to the court closest to the defendent as I understand it.

 

If you do nothing you will have a 14K CCJ anyway so I suggest you keep going and if you fail you will have a 14K CCJ as well. Nothing to lose.

 

If you intend to throw the towel in, you should do it sooner rather than later in order to keep costs down and not take up too much peoples' time here :)

Just send a letter to SD asking for their proposed directions. If you don't get them within seven days, write to the court and tell them that you have not received proposed directions from the claimant and could the court please issue standard directions.

 

Send a copy of the letter to SD.

Thanks creditcorptrouble, I can assure you that i am not throwing in the towel, just very stressed at the possibility of having to find £14,000 in a month or having my credit score wrecked. i will fight this all the way i have no choice. Thank you for your invaluable help so far.

Well if you owe it and there's no way out of it, then your credit record will be impaired. Remember if you pay a judgment within one month then your credit record will stay clear, so start making plans now about where you can find the whole amount due if things turn out that way (if you can - it's a lot of money!)

They have requested a summary judgement in accordance with CPR part 24, and said that on the basis of documentation available the defendent has no real prospect of succeeding and there is no other complelling resaon why this matter should await disposal at trial.

I'm sure i am not the only one who thinks this is FAR from a clear cut summery judgment issue. Stevensdrake solicitors might wish it to be, but the implications of a summery judgment on an overseas debt would be far reaching and possibly unlawful? Jurisdiction issues alone need to be addressed before the other defence points can even be considered for deliberation. I wish i knew more about the law to help you out but i can only say I understand your stress and truly feel for you.

Maybe someone with knowledge of the law will chip in and give some helpful advise.
