    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

Hello all,

Could you please help? Since 2009 I have an battle with Lewisham Council. In 2009 I parked

First of all I have left parking when the Enforcement officer issued a "penalty"...

Well they claim that he ISSUED ticekt but we actually left the place and he never gave us a ticekt! He was just taking pictures of me!

Since then no further letters communication. I thought no ticekt - no penalty but it looks like this is not the case.

I moved in 2010 to another property. Then they tracked me down. I have replied and asked for Evidence but they have only provided me with pictures etc. No copy of the ticket or not even a report from Enforcement Officer. When I contacted them again they told me that I need to pay otherwise they will take me to courts.

And here is now letter from Bailiffs... I dont know what to do next. I was not even a chance to see the evidence or defend myself in court...

 

Please help...

If bailiffs are involved, they are acting on a court warrant. You can challenge that warrant, and hopefully get it revoked. For now, forget the issue of the PCN itself - you need to deal with the bailiff warrant.

 

The council should have sent various notices out to the name and address held for that vehicle, at DVLA. Do you know if the name and address was correct? Do you know why you might not have received the notices?

 

The thing to do is file an out of time statutory declaration/witness statement. If you go to the website of Northampton County Court (also called TEC), then you can obtain the forms. Make sure you use "out of time" forms.

 

Complete them, send them off, and you have challenged the bailiff warrant. They should hold fire until the matter has been investigated. If your application is successful, the Council will contact you again about the original PCN. At that point you can go into the matter of whether it was issued - but not yet.

 

Post back if you need any help with the forms etc, or any more info about the process.

It won't do any harm, although they might ignore it. Better perhaps to contact the Council and tell them - they can tell the bailiff to hold fire for the moment. Problem is, the council probably will take ages to get around to dealing with a letter, so it might be pointless wrtiting! How about phoning the council's parking team and ask if you can speak to someone who deals with bailiff cases (someone in the council's parking section that is, not the bailiff themselves). Explain to them, and see if they will agree a temporary hold while you file the forms. There's a good chance they will.

 

If they won't, then get the forms done ASAP - once they are filed, they HAVE to suspend the warrant while the case is being considered.

It MUST be remembered that in filing an Out of Time Application, the person merely has to provide a REASON why they are completing a Statutory Declaration LATE.

 

Therefore the wording needs to be something along the following lines:

 

" I was unable to complete this application within the given time as it was not until I received a letter from a firm of bailiffs that I was made aware that a warrant had been issued.

 

It would appear that all statutory notices had been sent to my previous address which was xxxxx. I moved from that address in approx xxx.

 

PS: You need to also ring TEC on 08457 045 007 and ask them to confirm the address on the warrant. If this is your old address, advise them that the bailiff is seeking to enforce a warrant at your NEW address!! They are NOT supposed to do this.

OK, so if they won't halt proceedings now, get on and file the witness statement as soon as you can.

 

 

I was told that if there is no evidence of ticekt on the windscree PCN is not valid?

 

 

That's not quite correct. If the PCN was not served, then it's not enforcable. However some are served by post, and since you didn't get any post, we can't say if that happened here. Also, it's not really a matter of whether there is "evidence" - you still need to go through the appeals process and argue the case.

Forget the PCN for now! Don't even think about it - you need to challenge the bailiff warrant, not the PCN! That comes later. At the moment, you are challenging the warrant because you did not receive the NTO - and it's late because you had no mail. The issue of the PCN is not relevant to what you're doing right now.

The local authority applies to Northampton County Court for a warrant, which is routinely granted. It may be technically wrong to call it a court warrant, but its not helpful to state as fact that one does not exist! Bailiffs are instructed to act as a result of these warrants, and the fact that they are doing so in this case demonstrates that a warrant has been granted. He needs to sort it out.

Jamberson - you can take it as fact that no warrant exists in thi case. There is a great deal of difference between the authorisation of a warrant by theTEC and the actual issuing of it.

 

As I say if LB Lewisham issued it, I'll give you the money mesself. Indeed I have yet to come across any London Authority which issues warrants, which is how we are successful in county courts when applying to get people's cars back.

Sarcasm does not help you when you receive an answer to a question that you freely asked.

 

Learn the correct procedure for the issue of warrants by checking Civil Procedure Rule 75 (7) (3) and Section 5 (4) of the Enforcement Of Road Traffic Debts Order 1993 and you won't have to show your bemused displeasure in public after being corrected.

I wouldn't want to kid myself of any such thing as the evidence appears to show the contrary, but some might feel that the OP has been assisted by having a better understanding of how a warrant of execution is drawn up and why he has never seen one in this case.

 

Helping people is but one aspiration of the forum, it also exists for people to share their knowledge and to express their views.

 

Enough said - I shall now continue on preparing statements so that two people may apply to their respective County Courts next week for injunctions to get their cars back from bailiff companies whose employees took them after failing to turn up with warrants because the local authorities (Southwark and Newham) never issued them.

Hello all,

So yesterday I recived letter from Lewisham demanding payment of £120.00.

 

http://imageshack.us/g/807/letterfromlewisham.png/

 

To give you idea what happened let me put everything again.

We went to Deptford Bridge in London. Parked in a area when you can park for 30 minutes. We knew that there is time limit so we returned to the car 25 minutes later (Still 5 minutes left). I was surprised that there was a guy from council walking around and taking notes. I said to him that we still have a plenty of time but he refused and he start taking my pictures and he also commented that is "To late..". We drove off. The ticket was not even issued yet..not even attached to windscreen - nothing..

 

What shall I do next? Many thanks for an advice...

This was in 2009, right? So you can appeal on the basis that the time span is unreasonable. They cannot reasonably expect you to be able to defend the case after two years.

 

If you appeal on this basis, and they reject your appeal, you can apply for a hearing at adjudication. The same argument - too much time has elapsed - should win it for you and get the PCN cancelled.
