    • The neighbour's house is built right on the boundary so the side of their house is effectively the 'wall' in our garden separating the two properties. It's a three storey house and so the mortar poses a potential danger to us. Because of the danger, we have put up an interior fence in our garden to ensure we don't risk mortar dropping on us. That reduces the garden by 25% which is not only an inconvenience, but it's the part of the garden where we had lined up contractors to install a patio and gazebo which we will use for our wedding reception in less than 2 months. We have spoken to the neighbour's caretaker who is on the case, has spoken with a roofer and possibly a scaffolding company, but there are several issues. They don't seem to understand the urgency. As long as there is a risk of falling mortar, we can't carry out any work in the garden, and unless they hurry up, we're looking at cancelling our wedding as it's not viable to book a venue because we can't use our own garden! Also, they want to put the scaffolding up in our garden which would be ok with us if it was a matter of a few days and they hurried up, but there is a tree (most likely protected by the conservation area), so most likely they can only reach part of the roof with the scaffolding if they put it up in our garden. We suggested a roofer with a cherry picker but they seem to want to use a company they've used before. Any and all comments, suggestions, advice is more than welcome.  PS. does it make any difference that the neighbour is a business (ltd) and not a private dwelling?
    • No apology needed, thank you for what you do I am glad to hear they paid. well done on getting back what is yours
    • Apologies all for the late reply and info, i have been away with the Army. They have paid I accepted the offer on the 5th of May, and they paid on the 17th of May.
    • Hello everyone,   Just thought id post an update.   I've today now finally received a claim form from PRA Group. Bit annoying as the last payment to them would have August 2018 so was nearly over the line. I believe my only grounds for defence is that they haven't managed to produce a copy of the DN notice, however from some online research I managed to find some case law that stated they can use their systems screenshot to show proof of it being sent.   I know I have to respond back to their claim form and will do so online on moneyclaim, is now the time to pick up the phone to them and negotiate a deal?   Any advice as always is much appreciated it.

    • 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've just been re-reading s60-s65 as directed by Zubo, and I spotted this. You've all probably seen it loads of times, but I think it is complimentary to s85.

 

 

63 Duty to supply copy of executed agreement

 

(1) If the unexecuted agreement is presented personally to the debtor or hirer for his signature, and on the occasion when he signs it the document becomes an executed agreement, a copy of the executed agreement, and of any other document referred to in it, must be there and then delivered to him.

 

(2) A copy of the executed agreement, and of any other document referred to in it, must be given to the debtor or hirer within the seven days following the making of the agreement unless

 

(a) subsection (1) applies, or

 

(b) the unexecuted agreement was sent to the debtor or hirer for his signature and, on the occasion of his signing it, the document became an executed agreement.

 

 

(3) In the case of a cancellable agreement, a copy under subsection (2) must be sent by post.

 

(4) In the case of a credit-token agreement, a copy under subsection (2) need not be given within the seven days following the making of the agreement if it is given before or at the time when the credit-token is given to the debtor.

 

(5) A regulated agreement is not properly executed if the requirements of this section are not observed.

 

 

This means that ANY card issued, not just subsequent cards (s85) need to contain an executed copy of the agreement, doesn't it? All credit cards, not just subsequent cards (a la s85) are affected?

Sorry Pam, didn't mean to be such aggressive... I just am a bit nervous about people thinking these are agreements... I know we are singing from the same hymn sheet and I completely missed your tongue in cheek reference...

 

sincere apologies!

 

No problem Zubo. :)

Exactly correct - right from day one.

 

THIS and S85 are the two pieces of legislation which provides the CC companies so many problems.

 

because they make the agreement completely unenforceable... unless a court rules otherwise. But the Court has to implement the letter of the law and there would need to be very good reason to challenge CCA.

Hi

 

This section of the Act relates to copies given at the time the agreement is taken out and has different requirements according to where and how the agreement is signed. It is to ensure that the debtor recieves a copy of the agreement he has just entered into.

 

With a credit card application signed at home the debtor should be sent a copy within 7 days, either before, or with the card. Of course this should be a copy of a credit. agreement so in practice it would appear that many of us are not receiving copies of properly executed agreements

My Barclaycard Application Form has a bit which says Credit Agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, it then has a couple of paragraphs of text which they have convieniently stuck a barcoded sticker over (it is illegable text anyway due to the state of the copy), then theres a box which has my signiture in and the date.

Hi PPPPam

 

Just thought i would say hello and point out that the credit card agreemnts you are discussing are regulated by the distance marketing regulations and the precontractual requirements and regulations are quite different.

I'm aware of that Alan....I'm refering to the point at which it becomes criminal

 

I certainly accept that the permanent unenforceability issue is not spelt out clearly in the wording of the section, and that in absence of such ambiguity then there is precedent to suggest that the court should err toward the consumer.

 

However, we are back to the problem that we are dealing with District Judge's who seem to have leeway to look at things on balance - rather than in black and white.

 

If we had unlimited resources to argue our claims to appeal, then we would be able to prove these points unequivocally. Whilst we are facing potential cost exposure I would rather err on the side of caution unless I am 100% sure that my case is watertight.

Hi PPPPeter (yes, most amusing :))

 

I have read those regulations and they appear to be extra protection for contracts concluded at a distance, not instead of the statutory requirements of the CCA in relation to credit card agreements.

 

They do not change or override the CCA regs. relating to these agreements. From what is contained in the Distance Marketing regs. it seems to be that this is now being covered by those lovely little T&C leaflets we get with cards - BUT I think the providers may be interpreting these regs. as you seem to be - i.e.that they have replaced the CCA requirements!

 

They are now putting some of the prescribed terms into

those leaflets with the rest of the blurb, whereas they SHOULD be in the signature document!

First Personal Bank Plc v Sim [1998] EWCA Civ 1194 (10 July 1998)

 

I don't think i've posted this piece of case law so why I'm recovering from flu this afternoon have a good read there are some very interesting observations especially with deeds of assignments.

 

Hi

 

Very interesting case that demonstrates that we are so right to challenge any DCA that claims to own our 'alleged' debt or indeed any situation where our credit agreement has been taken over by another body - MBNA springs to mind, where they have apparently acquired accounts from different card issuers!

Yes, it does. The two firms listed in this case (not Harrods or the card operators, but the DCA and their solicitor) are the very two firms involved in 'GE Capital vs wife of M55DLC' - who haven't responded to my s78 & SAR! The (store) card in question was taken over by GE Capital in the early nineties.

Hi Alanfromderby

 

The CCa is quite clear on the sublect of the continued unenforceability of a request as is the OFT once the default is remedied the default is removed and the agreement can be enforced the criiminal offence ellement is an entirely different matter.
