    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.
    • Did you ever think of walking away? Become bankrupt and in 12 months it'll all be behind you. My feeling is that you may well get nothing from the sale of the property anyway. Going by the date this thread started it looks like eight years of arrears, lender's costs and receiver’s fees on top.
    • Just to clarify - I make use of evening legal clinics. It is not always possible to see a lawyer (they have limited time and days/week).  This means questions one has may never get answered or there's weeks between follow-ups.   To be really clear - I am representing myself; I am playing at being lawyer/ barrister - which means I take help wherever I can get it (and then research it thoroughly). Ae - a judge in a recent hearing pointed out the receiver is not part of my current proceedings - and suggested I have a separate claim v the receiver. Disclosure has presented damning evidence v the receiver  The receiver against whom I have a complaint is not part of the receiver governing body.   The receivership is in 2 names - a joint one.  My complaint is directed at whom I was told is the lead receiver.  The other named receiver IS a member of the governing body.  But he has now left the company.  And the lead receiver has retired - but is still a working consultant on my case.   All the evidence shows it was the 'lead' receiver who was doing all the  work/ the misbehaviour.   But if the appointment was 'joint' would I make a complaint against them both?    I am sure that wouldn't go down well with the other receiver who is at the beginning of his career. The law is very much against borrowers.   But the evidence against this receivership is crystal clear.   I just don't know how and to whom to complain.   The places I've tried so far don't offer much transparency

    • 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.

It's a shame when those entitled to benefits can't get it and those that play the system can.

 

You can see them sat in Wetherspoons or another local pub every day from when it opens until when it shuts. I can't afford to do that and I work.

 

I hope everything goes ok for you son

My son has been sent to another solicitor who apparently is an expert in this field, he had a meeting with them yesterday at a cost of £250. It will cost him £125 per hour to get the help he needs with this, the solicitor has a 90% success rate in winning these cases but, he was more than surprised that my son was working as he said most of his case load do not work. He also said that his office is full everyday with genuine cases of people who have claimed DLA only to have it removed. He blames the media and the fact the government want to save money so its easy to remove benefits any way they can.

He has picked so many holes in the investigators statements and they have also altered statments from witnesses that spoke in my sons favour. He did say though that the appeals panel do not take much notice of the GP statments which I find strange as the Gp is usually one of the people who know most how your conditions can and do affect people.

He has now recieved an overpayment notice of £8000 which is two years money as they have said he has not been in pain for that length of time. He does have a progressive illness so its nice to know that they think he is cured.

That is disgusting. Where did the 2 years come from? They can't exactly prove what he was like 2 years ago. His GP might; but don't see how DWP can.

I would consider a formal complaint. This is shocking. So, they have a word from someone saying he's lying and witness statements that state otherwise and they decide that this one statement is right?

I know someone who sits on a Tribunal panel and they've told me that GP letters and statements hold little weight. It's because GP's will often 'support' their patients by saying it as the patient has reported it to them taking the patients account as gospel, rather than a definite diagnosis that is impartial. Specialist/Consultant letters hold the weight needed.

We dont have a date yet, that maybe some time away but I do feel a lot better knowing that this solicitor has such a good track record and I feel they have shot themselves by lying. He has several specialist letters and statements along with statements from three private medical companies who carried out assesments on him. Thankyou all for the good wishes it has restored my faith in the human race knowing there people who genuinely care.

I'm sure her son's GP would be interested too.

 

Indeed !! I'm shocked beyond belief at the shoddy vile treatment this lad has endured.

You would not think that people could be treat this way with so much backing would you but, it seems the dwp think they can do as they please. Maybe they thought we would not fight back but, its not about the money its about the fact they are saying he is not entitled as he is no longer unwell, well that has just given me even more fight. He is so depressed and is struggling at work but, I think he is right to still go rather stay home all day.

We have just received a letter today asking him to pay the full £8000 by 14th december or contact them to pay by instalments but as the solicitor has sent off the appeal papers I would have thought we would not have heard from them until thie appeal was heard and they had decided one way or the other. So I don`t know what he should do as I don`t think he should start paying them this money as he is entitled to it but he just wishes it would all go away.

And I for one can totally understand his thought process. I took a loan with my bank & paid them back in one go. Even though I had done everything right that they had asked for & they still over paid me. Mine wasn't near as much as this though, but he wants it to go away tbh. And it's gone on so long for him by the sounds of it. You get to the stage where you know you can't beat them, they are too big a bully x

Jadeybags they really are bullies and they know you can only fight for so long as illness is a terrible thing and gets worse with the stress. I have spoken to the solicitor today and he has contacted the dwp today and reminded them we are going waiting for an appeal date so my son will not be making any payments to them. I can understand why you got a bank loan and paid them even though it was not your fault though as there does come a point when you feel you have just had enough.

Well my son received a package today which seems to be his whole file so that has been passed to his solicitor along with it was a letter which was very long winded but comes down to they have sent his case for reconsidertion but have decided not to change their opinion. So I dont know if this means will start to happen now after all this time or what. Will just have to wait and see.

Received letters today from the tribunal service with a form to fill in asking if he still wants to go ahead with the appeal and also to say after they get the forms back they will be in touch approx six weeks later with a date for the hearing so looks as though it may not be too long before we know where he stands. It does say though that they have a large amount of appeals at the minute.

My son recieved two letters today, one from the tribunal service asking for his permission to look at his medical records and the other a summons to appear at the local magistrates. We had to go to see the gp this afternoon and he is shocked, but, that is nothing compared to how we feel. He has to attend on 3rd june and he is a mess now so I dread to think how he will be by june. The solicitor had hoped to get to the tribunal before anything like this but, it seems the dwp are determined my son is guilty.

I must say though we were very surprised at the amount of lies that are in the statements made by the investigating officer. They have also stated that they did not know my son worked when it is clearly there on every form that was ever filled in for him.

A further update on this for anyone who has followed the case so far. More post yesterday one from appeals and they are sending a doctor out to examine my son which I think is good as they will be able to see for themselves how he is affected. Another from appeals which is a copy of what they have sent to dwp asking what they are trying to prove as they have viewed the dvd they were sent. Another from solicitor which said that the appeals will probably wait now until the court case is all over. Could anyone who is going through or been through this confirm that this is what usually happens. I feel the appeal should still go ahead but if they are going to wait for the court hearings it will be a very long time before it gets to appeal.
