    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • 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.

    • 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 seperate threads for my problems with an Amex card; just got their response to my CCA request and it consists of what looks like two sheets of computer programming records entitled e-Application; my personal details are on them but mostly it consists of a series of codes (numbers).

 

Does anyone know whether an e-Application without a signed CCA agreement is valid and enforceable?.

Thanks ims

 

good to hear, what exactly is a screen dump?

 

All they appear to have done is pull up your details into their database and printed the record that shows on screen.

 

Imagine I had a lttle Access database and you gave me your name, address, telephone, DOB etc. I could enter that in the relevant fields, print it off and send it to you.

 

I wouldn't, of course, have the audacity to say that it was a credit agreement!

why did you CCA them in the first place

 

surely this is your debt...

 

what are the issues ?

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi dx

 

yes it is my debt and I am not trying to avoid paying it (or any of the others) however after my income suddenly reduced to less than a third of what it had been Amex closed the account, continued to charge me monthly interest and refused to accept what I could afford to pay them after my priority bills were paid.

 

Immediately the account was given to Newmans DCA who telephoned and texted me constantly. In my naivety I sent them the same income and expenditure form I supplied to Amex, they wrote back refusing my offer and said I had assetts I could liquidate to pay the bill in full and if I did not comply they would issue an SD and make me bankrupt ( I have a property with equity which I live in).

 

Fortunately I found CAG shortly after and started the initial thread on this matter.

 

I had hoped if the agreement was not enforceable I could pay a monthly sum they would have to accept knowing the matter would not be enforceable in court.

 

I don't want to sound too defensive here and of course I accept I have to and should pay; however all of my creditors except Amex and one other were sympathetic to my reduced circumstances and accepted my offers.

 

My aim was not to avoid my debts, merely to manage them until, hopefully, things improved.

 

Not sure how to proceed now!!

Hi bbnb

 

thanks for the reply, i must admit I was sligthly surprised by the questions above,;I'm grateful for your suggestion and I will do just THAT, set up a standing order and send them what I can afford.

 

Would love to do a self managed DMP as you are but income fluctuates so much (more downs than ups) not a possiility at the moment.

 

Thanks

I do my own DMP now as my income is like yours. I've set a minimum that each creditor gets, but if and when I can afford more they get a bit extra. You just need to calculate what that base amount is. I pay by online banking direct payment so that I have the flexibility to control the amount of each payment, rather than by fixed standing orders or a 'proper' managed plan.

Hi OMWO

 

I do have a minimum payment that goes out each month to those creditors who agreed to accept my proposal; actually I even have one that goes out to Barclays, who like AMEX refused to accept the payment formally but have gone quiet since I sent them a SARS request and are taking the payments off the balance I owe them.

 

I will do as BBNB sugggests and set up a standing order to AMEX, it won't be enough to cover the interest they charge me each month but at least it will show willing. I could do as you have and up the payments from time to time when my income increases but worried the OC's will expect that all the time and I may find they start demanding a larger sum on a regular basis.

 

Just beginning to feel I was managing to get matters under control too!!

 

Sod's law I suppose.

 

Thanks for your help

You should write to AMEX saying what you've done and why (significant change in personal circumstances/reduction in income) and requesting they stop all interest on the account accordingly. I personally don't advocate paying more at any point as it tends to keep you on their radar and hassling you for more. I would work out what is realistic (it might only be £1/month) and set up the SO accordingly.

Once the SO is up and running, you should file (but ignore) their letters demanding more money/I&E/personal details that are the equivalent of them throwing their toys out of the pram. If they call say 'in writing only' noting the day and time and then send them the telephone harrassment letter. At some point they will write for a review. At that point advise them in writing that your circumstances remain unchanged and confirm that you can cannot afford to pay more or, if they have deteriorated further reduce your SO (if more than £1/month) after writing to advise them accordingly. x

  • 4 weeks later...

Well here we go again; heard nothing from Amex or their 'collectors' for over three months, now have a card from RMA informing me they will call on me on Thursday, no date given, if that is not convenient call this numer, mobile numer given and the name to contact is A.Mercer.

 

I know everyone will say they are unlikely to call, however, had a caller here from Barclays DCA CSl and whilst I told them to clear off in no uncertain terms it made me feel as if my home had been violated (possibly a complete over reaction).

 

Does anyone have an email address for RMA resolve, so I can email them the Fudge Off letter asap.

 

Just so angry, a card with no date on it and will call 'Thursday' so any Thursday from now until enternity, when of course they are not harassing any other poor sod, who the F do these people thin they are?

Hello again bubbsie, as you know never phone what ever they say.

There's no e-mail address on their site that I can see,perhaps someone has it.

Although in my humble opinion it would be best sent recorded delivery.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.
