    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance. 
    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.

    • 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.

Hi

 

Hearing is late next week, ive no way of paying up before hand but was shocked to see that instead of claiming the individual amounts ie. lets say 65% gas and 35% elec as it should be they have added both together and split it 50/50. I owe around 400 on elec but as they have added both together i now owe 650 !!!

 

 

Any advice ?

Hi Reb

 

My elec and gas bill(7th June) came to just under £2000 in total. i have not made a payment towards both bills for a long time as been struggling for work, im self employed and live on my own.

 

£751.26 for electric (est)

£1233.99 for gas (accurate)

 

Total £1985.25 This is with one payment of £100 made.They told me i had to make a payment of £600 minimum before they could set up a plan of £175 a month so i made a payment of £100(shown in last bill) and the following week a payment of £250(not shown in last bill).

They did say that because i asked to pay the £600 over a few weeks that it wont stop action for warrant to enter house but they would make a note on my file.

The week after i did not have funds to pay anything as mortgage was due, the following week 2 letters arrived saying about the court date and time..

 

Now each letter is identical not stating if one for gas or one for electric but both figures are the same.. £656.65 on both letters

 

 

Hope this helps

Hold on.. Just looked at letters again and both have my electric account number and not gas.. maybe an error on there part sending letter twice or did electric twice and forgot about gas ?

 

My gas metre is outside whilst electric is on inside ! Would that make any difference , im stumped ?

Yes it would make a difference. You really need to nail this. NPower love confusing people. It sounds like the one bill

for gas and electricity.

Ok rang them(metreplus) a few hours ago, told the chap about if i stumped up £600 NP said they would put me on arrangement @ £175 a month. Told him i may be able to pay on the 8th July the final £250 that makes it up to £600, he says that shouild be ok as the date for applying is the 6th so if i can get the payment in they should accept although i will have to pay the 50 odd pounds court charge !

 

OK fair do's on that.. What i did not ask was is it just electric metre they want to fit or gas as well. I wanted to get some advice here first. I cannot understand why they are, as it seems just going for entry to home for Electric only as the letters say.. Surly they would also need the same warrant for gas even though its on the outside of my house ?

Prepayment meter

 

If appropriate we can install a prepayment meter and set it to cover the energy you use and to pay back the money you owe based on what you can afford.

What they did tell me some time ago is that if a meter is fitted i will have to pay 50/50 on what ever i pay into it regard usage and debt !

 

Also, could i ring the court and ask what specifically they are going for, elec or both.. Confusing me as the Gas is the higher bill !

the courts won't have that info. The information is presented on the day of the application - you would need to check this with NPower.

 

If they are applying for warrants for both fuels they must advise you of this.

 

If you turn up at court the chances are that the warrant wouldn't be granted. Be aware that if the warrant is granted NPower can action the warrant at any time - they do not have to give you warning or set a date to gain access (restrictions do apply i.e. not early morning / late night / sunday, and I think saturday too but not sure)

ok update time,

Ive spent in total 2 and a half days going over things and re electric this is what has happened.

 

in Feb 09 Eon came round and fitted an upgraded meter. over the next 10 months when a bill arrived it was still being estimated on my old meter, finally an eon chap came round and took readings for Npower. In Feb 10 they finally switched meter readings to new one.

 

When they took out old meter the readings were 45900, when they changed readings a year later it stopped at 48760, the new meter showed 660. they just started off at 660 rate and stopped at old estimated rate. They then started demanding £55 a month. now because the new meter was fitted at 00000 it was easy for me to find an average of what ive been using and that turns out to be £19 a month over the 28 month period !!!

 

Was on the phone to them yesterday for 1 hour and 20 minutes and they finally admitted its there mistake and will re calculate and that after money i have already paid should clear the bill easily and maybe be in credit !!

 

Regarding the gas bill i owe them £1200, Whilst on the phone the chap told me Warrant for entry is now cancelled for electric but they are coming to fit payment meter for gas on 15th August. i said ive heard NOTHING about gas account, he said the woman in warrant team had told him its already been to court and they have acquired warrant but I WOULD NOT NO ABOUT IT as nothing was sent to me about it !!!!!!

 

 

Shocking
