    • 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!

 

A relative has a Possession Hearing on Friday being brought by her Housing Association - though their agent is claiming they are going to ask for "Suspended"

 

At the moment, I am getting info by bits over the phone - Apparently within the court papers received was a witness statement from that Agent, regarding the relative - it states that the "Tenant does not stick to payment arrangements"

 

Except she has been, and even their dodgy figures seem to back this up - she gets partial Housing Benefit, contributes £18 towards the rent, and £10 towards the arrears, which by now I believe are below £700.

 

I have a covert recording of a meeting with said Agent, and believe I did have the right to do this, and can provide a transcript for court. I need to recheck through, On this recording, iirc the Agent does state that he knows full well she is keeping up with the agreed arrangement, and this is why they are going for a Suspended rather than full Possession.

 

So does this discredit or damage the case in anyway, that in his own voice the Agent proves his witness statement is fraudulent? There are all sorts of issues I mentioned in another thread, regarding the figures the Housing Assoc and the Witness Statement provided by another Agent of the HA being complete rubbish, and none of the provided figures add up correctly...

 

With regards to making a Transcript, is this something I can do myself, or should I use a specialist, though time of course is running tight?

 

The good news is she has contacted Shelter - and it sounds like there are several of these going through on Friday, as Shelter will have an expert at the court all day, and will accompany myself and the relative.

 

I am just feeling a little baffled and peeved that there seems to be no problem with a HA abusing the judicial process by providing fraudulent figures and witness statements - I have absolutely no doubt they are doing this to others, and have been doing so.

 

The paperwork also claims that this order was originally served in May 2010 - would it suffice for it to be deemed to have been served if the housing association to claim it was sent in first class post? As nothing was received, and certainly no Process Server has served paperwork in person.

 

Of course, given how dodgy everything else in the paperwork is, its entirely possible they mean May 2011 :roll:

My comments apply only if the premises are entirely within England and Wales, and only if the occupier was granted a tenancy (under which she - and her spouse/partner/children, if any - had exclusive use of a seperate dwelling, which was not shared with another tenant nor with the landlord), and only if she was over 18 years of age when the tenancy was granted.

 

This posting is supplemental to the information in this forum's "sticky" threads and is NOT to be read in isolation.

 

 

I hope this FAQ might explain to you the basics of a Housing Act tenancy - your relative presumably has an Assured tenancy, rather than a Shorthold, but the main difference is that a section 21 notice can't be given to an Assured tenant, so you are facing an application for possession solely based on the Section 8 grounds:

 

Tenancy - posession, eviction and notice

 

A suspended possession order is often the first step, in a Housing Association case. The tenant is NOT being evicted at this hearing. A suspended possession order is a possession order, but one that does NOT take effect unless the tenant fails to make the agreed payments towards the rent and the arrears on the dates specified in the order.

 

 

Apparently within the court papers received was a witness statement from that Agent, regarding the relative - it states that the "Tenant does not stick to payment arrangements"

 

Except she has been, and even their dodgy figures seem to back this up - she gets partial Housing Benefit, contributes £18 towards the rent, and £10 towards the arrears, which by now I believe are below £700.

 

 

Golly! You are going to need rather strong nerves at the possession hearing, if there are rent arrears of £700, if you are seriously going to tell the Judge that the tenant does stick to payment arrangements!

 

Get ready for a roasting if you try that.

So the relative will need "strong nerves" to tell a Judge, that she has stuck to the arrears repayment arrangement that she agreed with the Housing Association? Not quite sure where you are coming from.... Especially since I have audio of the Agent agreeing that she does in fact keep to the arrears repayment agreement that she and the housing association agreed. Maybe I am strange? But the Witness Statement specifically mentions that she has not kept to the arrears repayment agreement that she agreed with the housing association, when she has.

 

The other problem is Court Staff have confirmed that what the Housing Association wants with regards to Suspended has absolutely no bearing on the matter, but will entirely be up to the Judge, and he could oppose it being suspended and grant a full possession, because he had a bad dinner or something. Which is what the relative is most worried about, because the Judge in question has a "reputation" especially when facing the towns poor.
