    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all
    • stopping payments until a DN arrives does not equal automatic sale to a DCA...if you resume payments after the DN.  
    • Sleep apnoea: used to require the condition  to be “completely” controlled Sometime before June 2013 DVLA changed it to "adequately" controlled. I have to disagree with MitM regarding the effect of informing DVLA and S.88 A diagnosis of sleep apnoea doesn't mean a licence wont be granted, and, indeed, here it was. If the father sought medical advice (did he?) : this is precisely where S.88 applies https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64edcf3a13ae1500116e2f5d/inf1886-can-i-drive-while-my-application-is-with-dvla.pdf p.4 for “new medical condition” It is shakier ground if the opinion of a healthcare professional wasn’t sought. in that case it is on the driver to state they believed they met the medical standard to drive. However, the fact the licence was then later granted can be used to be persuasive that the driver’s belief they met the standard was correct. What was the other condition? And, just to confirm, at no point did DVLA say the licence was revoked / application refused? I’d be asking DVLA Drivers’ Medical Group why they believe S.88 doesn’t apply. S.88 only applies for the UK, incidentally. If your licence has expired and you meet the conditions for S.88 you can drive in the U.K., but not outside the U.K. 
    • So you think not pay until DN then pay something to the oc to delay selling to dcas?    then go from there? 
    • think about it, if you don't pay the full amount, what more can they do , default you  they've already registered a default notice by that point.  why have you got to await sale to a DCA.... for what?

    • 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 am in the process of completing my AQ having still not received any documents/evidence in reply to my CPR request. I did however, receive a copy of the claimant's AQ sent to me directly from the claimant. The boxes have been ticked but no further information in the details box. Also when I received the notification of change of solicitor from Bryncartr to their own in-house paralegal I did a bit of homework and the one of claimants staff was recently presented with an award after taking a £600 paralegal "debt recovery" course. That same person has signed the claimants AQ so at least I know who I am dealing with.

 

Will copy my AQ on here this week.

 

regards and thanks to all.

After sending my proposal (thank you caggers) I have received a General Form of Judgement of Order from my local court. Basically agreeing my proposal. "It is ordered that

1/the claimant shall by 4pm on 21st june12 serve fully parts' etc to enable the def' to know the case he must meet.

 

2/ the def shall by 4pm on 12th july12 serve fully particularised defence etc. the matter will be referred by a judge for allocation.

 

So, I am to serve my full defence only after I have received all the evidence the claimant will rely on. Evidence and docs that have I have been requesting for almost four months under C.P.R.

 

I am happy with that.

 

Will update as and when.

 

regards to all

Have today received the claimants amended particulars of claim.

 

One day before the court ordered it by.

 

It includes a statement of truth and a copy of the internet claim form.

It is definitely not a credit agreement or contract.

 

The only figures mentioned are credit limit and personal details.

 

Interestingly it shows a Y in the payment protection insurance box even though it shows that I was self employed at the time. So, there might be a claim for PPI there.

 

they are still claiming the original claim of £4330 but have not supplied any statements of account or how that figure has been arrived at.

 

I am presuming now that I should serve/file my defence based as originally, on No CCA agreement therefore no contract.

Still haven't had any statements of account on the payments I have been making for last 10 years or so.

 

I am prepared to file a defence and turn up in court if necessary. Just would like any input from you guys.

 

Many thanks again,

 

M.

 

P.s. my understanding is that when a debt is bought it is bought with all rights and responsibilities.

I am going to base my reply to the court basically saying that because the claimant has produced only an internet (spread sheet type) application form from 1999 and a statement of truth and NOT a consumer credit agreement or true copy of one, or a statement of account (none at all over the last 11 years) then as I see it I do not have a case to answer. The claimant must prove his case before I have to prove a defence.

 

The national debtline says that if the creditor does not supply a copy of the agreement or statement of account when asked then the creditor cannot get a court order although they can take me to court. I should apparently apply for a stay of proceedings until the claimant does comply with my request under CCA 1972.

 

During the 10 years after the default I was paying an amount every month starting with £2 or so a month and in 2011 it was £35 per month. I have never had a statement during that time when Moorrcrop were handling it for eegg. I made a request to Eggg via Moorcrop last year for CCA and statements. I received NO statement and NO CCA just my £1 returned saying they could not comply with my request. I also made a request for statements and CCA under CPR rules to Bryanncarter when they were acting for Global and made the county court claim.

 

Arrooww glob are now acting for themselves after having sacked Brynn cartr and revised their claim.

 

So if anyone has any input I would be pleased to hear from you.

 

Many thanks again

 

Marc.

Hi

 

I also have a supposedly "true" copy of a CCA which is for 2001. I have also asked a DCA for a proper "photocopy" of my alleged CCA and may well have to go down the same route as you.

 

However, I was ridiculed by DX of this site team because, as he put it, " quite honestly, your really need to drop the 'hope' that a paperwork wriggle will get you out of paying this debt". Seeing as how most. if not all, law is based on proof of evidence, all paperwork, including a CCA, is essential, and the DCA not having one is not a "wriggle".

 

As such I believe that you have a good case and wish you well. Please keep the site informed of the outcome - and again, all the best.

The simple fact is that the absence of the CCA is not now the

useful tool it used to be, the judges over the past few years

have reverted to some of the real principles of English Civil Law,

ie What is reasonable in the eyes of the public and The Balance

of Probabliies Civil Law is not like the Criminal counterart where

a case mmust proved beyond reasonable doubt.

 

So a signed app form + statements shoeing useage of a credit facility

WILL prove liability.

So they havent provided statements or a statement of account showing how the amount being claimed has accrued?

 

I think there was also a question mark over the PPI, wasnt there?

 

It is my understanding that on some of those internet applications, you couldnt move forward unless you ticked the "Yes" box for PPI - in which case that makes it mandatory and not optional.

But the balance of probabilities must be that the agreement was enforceable - if the CCA clearly shows it wasn't ( just an application form without reference to T&Cs in the same document ) no judge can do anything about that

well you go stand infront of a judge and say "it's not my debt mate"....

 

if there is a clear financial link and various statements to prove it

it would be foolish to say many years later, its un-en.

might work, but it's its a judge lottery

as many cases on here will show.

 

also please bear-in-mind, that is debt avoidance - not what we condone on CAG.

 

there are better ways to skin them !

If an account is used proved that there was an app made I

would find it hard to plead on someones behalf that there

was no liability.

Surely an application form for a credit card is not proof of a debt.

 

The figure the claimant claims comes from where?

They have not/cannot provide statements for the last ten years of my payments each month after default in 2001.

 

I dispute the amount and now the debt at all.

It is my right to have a true copy of the agreement/contract as per CCA 1972 and also statements of account for my own investigation.

I could have paid this twice over.

It is not a wriggle.

 

For the claimant to produce (as final evidence for particulars of claim) ONLY an unsigned internet application form

and a statement of truth means that they could just as easily have claimed £10,000 or whatever they liked.

 

My understanding is that the burden of proof falls firstly on the claimant and only then on the defendant, when he sees and knows the case he has to answer.

 

My concern now is to arrange my defence statement so that it encompasses my legal rights without waffle.

The judge concurred with my last suggestion that the claimant file his evidence for me to see the case

I have to answer and then for me to file my full defence.

 

I believe now that in the absence of a contract of any kind ( copy or otherwise)

and absolutely no statements of account for the payments to EEGG via Moorcrop for 10 years

that I should ask for a stay of proceedings until the claimant complies with my reasonable and lawful request.

 

A request for a stay of proceedings until sufficient evidence is filed by the claimant seems to be the next step.

 

My particulars of defence need to be served/filed by thursday 12th july, so I'd better get cracking.

 

regards

 

Marc

Many credit card apps are dual purpose app and agreement,

so with proof of use is most certainly proof of liability.

marcanderuser-offline.pngplease dont get what i am saying wrong.

i would dearly love to see you nail them.

by whatever means.

 

and i have said many times before legal is not my game

hence why others more knowledgable are/have helped you.

 

i personally would also use the court/judge

to answer the qustion of:

where HAS all the money i have paid these dca's on this debt gone?

 

i've never had a statement EVER

as far as i know,

the debt could have been paid off years ago

and what i've been paying is THEIR unlawful PENALTY charges.

or

if the money has not gone off the debt,

but t the DCA's profit pocket

then it is SB'ed

wonder if this is why carter has dropped it.

 

just musings
