    • 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.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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.

Advice needed from any Caggers who have dealt with these two companies.

 

Having defaulted on a loan with Black Horse in 2008 they obtained a CCJ against me.

 

I applied for a variation on the monthly payment and have been able to make these payments for the last 3 years without fail.

 

I have just received a letter from DCL saying that they now own the debt and that I should now make all payments to them.

 

Black Horse have not advised me that they have assigned the debt so am I under obligation to start making these payments to DCL?

 

Do I continue making payments to Black Horse as instructed in the court order?

 

The letter from DCL is dated 16th September and they say they took over the debt on the 31st August

so my concern is that the payment I made to Black Horse on the 01st September has disappeared and I am in default of my court arrangement.

 

It's taking me 3 years to finally get my finances in order and I really do not want to have any more dealings with DCAs so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

They enclosed a typed letter on plain paper of a claim for Hillesden Securities versus myself with the same court details and claim number that was originally with Black Horse. This is not the same as the original court letter and has no letterhead or court stamp.It says take notice that we Aplins are now the solicitors dealing with this claim not the original solicitors. What I dont understand is that this has already gone to court so not sure why they have included this letter with the same claim number as the original claim with Black Horse in the same county court but now dated 16th September 2011. Are they allowed to do this?

Just to add that I had a search on my Credit file from Hillesden Securities in February this year and wondered who they were as I have never had any dealings with them and definitely did not give permission for them to do a search. Is this normal practice and did Black Horse give them permission to do this?

If they have sold the account then they would have passed those rights to DLC.

 

Cancel payments to BH and write to DLC asking for a Notice of Assignment.

 

In the meantime send an SAR to BH and begin to claim back the charges they will have added to the account as suggested by Dx.

 

And any PPI you had - claim that back too - BH always missold it.

Should they not have informed the court that they are now the Claimants ?

Thanks for the advice but I am worried that if I cancel the payments to BH then I am in breach of the judgment. Is the letter that I received from DCL telling me that they now have the debt a Notice of Assignment? .It says; Please accept this letter as notification that your agreement with Black Horse Ltd has now been assigned to Hillesden Securities Ltd trading as direct legal & collections (dlc) with effect from 31st August 2011. This means that the amount still due under the agreement and any Court action is now payable to us, not to Black Horse Ltd.Our Solicitors, Messrs Aplins will be taking over conduct of the Court action, if appropiate, and we attach a formal notice to that effect with this letter.

Personaly i would not pay BH - why if they dont own the debt? BH are in financial difficulties and no longer do loans, (Like Welcome), so whats happening to your money?

 

You have a good and perfectley legit reason not to pay and that is because you do not know who you are supposed to be paying. Show any judge the evidence and he will be on your side.

 

Which of the two comapnies can grant you discharge from the debt? You don't know so you need to find out

 

Look at the OFT guidlines they say they must be clear and not confusing.

 

If your concerned about getting into arrears keep the money you normaly pay BH seperate - and then you can pay this and maintain payments once you have evidence of Assignment.

Write to BH (by recorded delivery), enclosing a copy of the correspondence from DLC, and ask for clarification of who you should be paying Make sure you keep a copy of the letter. As said above, in the meantime keep the money for the payments to one side until you have confirmation.

 

If DLC have bought this debt then you can be 99% sure they will know about the CCJ (I have had previous dealings with that lot for someone I was helping), and they won't hesitate to enforce the judgement if you do not pay - they have a reputation for going for charging orders!!

Not an expert but would do the following:

 

1 - pay nobody - but set-a-side the money so you can clear an backlog

2 - write to Black horse asking for details of how much you owe them - I personally would not chase who owns the debt - if they have sold the debt should come back as a zero balance - if so I would write backing confirming this.

3 - write to the firm chasing the debt stating you do not acknowledge any debt with them. It is up to them to prove legal ownership of the debt.

It's firmly established that there is a debt - there is a CCJ in place and the op has been making payments on the court order - you can't now state you do not acknowledge the debt!

 

If DLC have been assigned the debt and are collecting payments on a CCJ then you need to be careful that they don't enforce the judgement - I know these people and they are not up for negotiation. You just need to get clarification from Black Horse that you no longer make payments to their account.

Hi Guys,Thanks for the responses.

Firstly last time I checked Black Horse were the ones registered on the CCJ on my credit file.I will send them a letter on Monday asking for a statement of the account.

I have never received one since the judgment. As advised will keep the money to one side as the money that I paid in September has not been deducted from the balance that DCL are quoting although their letter is dated 16th September and so it should have been received. Not sure if BH have it or it has been forwarded on. Will keep you updated.Many thanks again,mollie

I was not suggesting that no debt existed but that no degt exists with the DCA until proven. I fail to see how a letter from a DCA proves ownsership of a debt. I realise that with a CCJ you need to be careful but..??

 

Surely if BH no longer own the debt they should return the amount paid tp the OC - how can they know how much you have paid to the new owner of the debt - it is none of their business. I would complain to BH.

  • 2 weeks later...

We continued to pay Black Horse until the letter officially telling us that the debt had been transferred to DLC, Black horse had in fact sent the payment to DLC but it had taken time and showed us being late payers on DLC's records - we disputed this and it was taken off the record. DO NOT STOP PAYING otherwise they can take you back to court and add the costs and if you have a secured loan, heaven knows what they would do.

 

Just make sure that you keep copies of everything and note time and date plus content of any telephone conversations that you have with them.
