    • 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.

Perhaps a side issue, but if you were to bring a PI claim, those types of costs could potentially be covered by an interim payment if your employer's insurers admit liability. no guarantees, but it may save you the financial hardship...

As said above there are no guarantees,

 

 

i have a pi claim against my ex employer with buses involved,

 

 

i put all the forms in and on the accident form

 

 

there was an entry as to close the incident which is now being looked at in a big way ,

 

 

the entry was that my seat was adjusted wrongly????

 

Hang on a minute as a bus driver you will know that if a six foot driver was driving that vehicle before you,

then you would adjust the seat to suit you?

 

 

same as if you drive the family car after the wife/girlfriend ect you would adjust the seat.

 

All i can say is if you are going down the route of pi claim then get a good solicitor

not one through your union as i found some discrepencies with mine and sacked them,

 

 

get a good solicitor away from the company completely and make sure that you get all paperwork from your company to do with your attendance ,

 

 

your record of employment ect as you will need them.

 

4 years down the line i am still fighting my claim so to the money side its not that clear

and will not help in the short term as i found out.

 

Get to your GP and also tell him/her what you intend to do as well so as to prepare them for the bombardment of your records ect,

but know this fact,

everything about your life is gone through with a fine toothcomb by the opposite side , so be prepared for all the above.

 

If i can be of any more help to you on my case ongoing please feel free to pm me anytime and i will do my best.

 

My case on the other hand is very complicated indeed,

so dont be put off from the above,

 

 

I have had two operations and more to come maybe depending on how my recovery goes now,

the complications with back injuries is very long and it will indeed be down to two or more specialists

to decide what is indeed wear and tear as we all degenerate somewhat as we get older,

but it is what is complicating my case and i am in my 30 s .

Hope i have helped and good luck keep us informed .

I used to be a manager for this Company as you know

I would take out a PI claim it will be down on service sheet of the bus and that got to stay in store's for 5 years

They would pay out for the PI claim no problems at all

have a chat with the EX unite rep in your garage he will put you in contact with carlton who will sort it out for you

Thought I would update this thread.

 

The case is now in the hands of a solicitor.

Within a week of my company recieving a letter from my solicitor the seat was changed for a brand new one!!

 

TBH, the whole thing has been a nightmare, ive spent £600 with an osteopath, and have had 6 treatments with a physio, the physio has helped, but the injury still persists.

Ive been to my GP twice, but he just says "exercise more and lose wieght".

 

I'm going back to my doctor and am going to be more stern, maybe I need an MRI scan?, I just wished I could find out what exactly the problem is.

 

As someone who has never had any back problems in my life, the whole situation is a nightmare.

 

Must admit, I always thought people with back problems were 'swinging the lead' as to speak, but I can fully understand how a back injury can affect your life.

 

Will keep you all updated.

All I ask is to be treated fairly and lawfully.

Hi guys,

 

I thought i'd update this thread.

 

I took legal action and was given a court date of 26/2/15.

2 days after the court date was issued my company settled in full!!!!

 

It turns out that 32, yes 32 other drivers over a 10 week period reported the seat in the same bus as being defective!!

 

The whole thing has been very draining, my company constantly lied throughout, what helped me was the fact I did everything in writing, so they could not say that they were un aware of the problem.

All I ask is to be treated fairly and lawfully.

well done

 

 

dx

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...
