    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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 received court papers within 48 hours of a DCA from Bryan Carter.

 

The DCA was for a recovery owed to Arrow Global which when questioned by phone on receipt of DCA to Bryan Carter the origin of the debt wasn't revealed.

 

The claimant on the form is Phoenix recoveries of Luxembourg.

 

The particulars of the claim are for price of goods sold and delivered between 19/02/2004 and 17/02/2009.

 

Where do I find out what the debt is for so that I can defend against it.

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...

Its not up to you to prove a debt exists,

that's a job for the claimant

- in this case his solicitors, our Bryan.

 

To defend the claim you acknowledge service of the papers and state you intend to defend the action.

 

Normally Bryan files his claims via Northampton but defending it will mean it is transferred to a county court local to you.

 

Its fair to say our Bryan doesn't like that much as he will have to pay someone to represent his firm at any hearing.

 

rarely gets to that though because simply defending it usually leads to a discontinuance.

 

Demanding the paperwork as per the normal court process usually leads to the same result.

 

You are always free to slap him with a claim for your costs.

This should make them discontinue.

 

1)The defendant has no knowledge of entering into any form of purchase agreement with the claimant and is embarrassed by the lack of documentation supporting the claimants averrment that these goods were purchased by and delivered to the defendant. Having no knowledge of any sales/purchase agreement for the goods averred by the claimant under a statement of truth to have been supplied and delivered to the defendant the claimant is unable to either admit or deny anything which is not expressly denied within this defence.

2) The defendant denies ever purchasing goods from the claimant.

3) The defendant denies ever receiving goods from the claimant.

4) The defendant denies ever entering into a purchase, rental or lease agreement in any form with the claimant.

5) The defendant therefore puts the claimant to strict proof of the following:

(i) That the defendant purchased the goods from the claimant including:

(a) A description of the goods claimed to have been purchased.

(b) The cost(s) of the goods claimed to have been purchased

(ii) The date(s) of any such alleged purchases.

(iii) The delivery times of these alleged purchases.

(iv) The delivery addresses of these alleged purchases.

(v) Proof of any and all purchase/sales contracts agreed and executed between the defendant and the claimant.

 

6) Prima facie the claimant knows or ought to know that there is no contract nor was there ever a contract between the defendant and the claimant for the supply of goods as pleaded, therefore the claimants claim is speculative and furthermore amounts to an absolute abuse of the process. Accordingly the defendant avers the claim ought to be struck out as an abuse as the claimant holds no cause of action and therefore the claimants conduct is unreasonable in bringing a claim without foundation.

7)The defendant seeks the claimants claim to be dismissed with an order as to costs thrown away in favour of the defendant.

8)The defendant avers the claimants claim to be speculative at best and expects the claimant to discontinue the claim upon receipt of acknowledgment that the claim has been defended and that therefore a default judgment will not be awarded. In this event the defendant requests that a costs order be made in favour of the defendant without further application if the claimant fails by the point of discontinuance (if any) to satisfy the Court that this claim as pleaded has any lawful merit.

As of 03/03/12 please do not under any circumstances wait for my further input or guidance on any current thread or defence of a court claim I might have been involved in on or through Cag.

Thanks all for your posts and I appreciate all the information given but I think I will pay them, NOT!!!!

I have acknowledged service on Monday 23/5 with intention to defend and sent Carter a CPR 31 the same day. Should I wait now for a reply from Carter to enter the defence or just enter now.

I would enter the defence asap. It defeats the fraudulent POC's and affords you the protection of CPR 38.7 which should prevent you being chased for this alleged debt in court again. carter will have two choices once the defence is filed: proceed on a deceptive claim which is 100% unprovable or discontinue and leave themselves liable to your costs, lose/lose for Carter once a defence is filed.

Well done now I guess you just sit back and wait for them to discontinue.

 

If they do discontinue then CPR38.7 kicks in now you've filed the defence and you should be looking to enter a wasted costs claim against them for your research and preparation time and expenditure incurred in preparing the defence.

 

If they don't discontinue then they have an even bigger problem IMO. those POC's are fraudulent and could be portarayed as a blatant attempt to disenfranchise the defendant of their statutory rights under the CCA1974 which would have been available to you if they had entered the claim in an honest manner more representative of the true facts.

Well I am surprised that so soon after my last posting that I have update on the claim. I have received today a letter from Bryan Carter dated the 1st June that the claim has been discontinued. Thanks everybody for advice and events have happened as scripted.

Congratulations, that was quick wasn't it under a week from defence to discontinuaton almost makes you think that they're just looking to make a profit speculating on undefended claims.

 

you may be entitled to costs and we even went so far as to predict what might happen in sec 8 of your defence so it might be worthwhile contacting the court to see whether an order for costs might be made. As an LIp 30 hours researching the law and a completely unfounded claim from a company you've never dealt with or heard of before @ the going rate (£9.25 I think) plus further time for typing up the defence, plus postage costs etc might make these shysters think a little harder before trying it on with the next vexatious claim.

1) It was excellent advice to 'phone the court to check, they're well known for pretending to discontinue.

2) When we've all finished ROFL'ing and LOL'ing at BC's crass ineptitude I'm sure you will get the help you need to put these fools to bed once and for all.

bc are snakes, and they know it!

was it assigned properly?

so, the claim is still 'live' at mcol?

maybe the 'new' owners were not aware that it is currently subject to a court claim?

if they want to try and continue with the current claim, they would need to apply to be substituted as the 'new' claimant. and, the courts permission would be required. see civil procedure rules part 19 and practice direction 19a.
