    • I decided on confrontation - which I hate.  Omg the arrogance of the driver.  They refused to say who had given them the alleged permission to park on the private land - unless I proved ownership.  I couldn't believe they could be so objectionable.   They advised they couldn't take public transport to work as they lived too far away.  They couldn't rent a local garage as none were available. I simply said that's their issue not mine. It was infuriating that this person had such misplaced entitlement.  However I decided to humour them and show them the title deeds.   They couldn't respond.  Although at this point they alleged some guy in a city up north - whose name they couldn't remember - gave permission!!    They then asked if they could buy the garages and land!! Yet can't afford to park on a meter !! They seemed to back down and agree to now park elsewhere.  I hope so. 
    • I've worked out the contractor invoiced apx 250k - Without adding vat to the invoices.  So based on above he should have added vat to all invoices once he reached 85k?  Obviously he had to pay his labourers - would those payments get taken off what he received?  Or it doesn't matter cos he invoiced for the high sum?
    • Greetings, I'm writing to seek assistance with an ongoing issue I'm having with Manchester Council.  I parked my car in a residential area behind Wilmslow Road to go purchase some food, not realizing it was a no-parking zone. I later received a letter stating I had failed to make the required payment, and the penalty had increased. I appealed the fine, explaining that I had parked there but never received the original Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), so I was unaware of the need to pay. However, the council's reply did not address my initial concern. Is there anything I can do in this situation? I admit to parking there, and I was willing to pay the original fine, but I don't think it's fair for them to demand a doubled amount when they failed to send me the initial PCN.  Any advice or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.   MK Document.pdf
    • If you look at some of the other debt related threads will see that one of the first things which will be asked will be for you to list out your debts in a brief chronological order, including date of debt, amount, creditor, amount outstanding, defaulted – yes/no – date of default, date of last payment made, have you acknowledged the debt at all to the creditors. That lot at least. I expect that my colleague @dx100uk will be along but will meet to know at least that information
    • Hi, I have found this group very helpful hence I am here seeking help and advice.   I got myself into a situation where I have now more than £50k in unsecured debts (personal loans & credit cards) and things are now getting out of control as I am struggling to make payments. This is purely my own created situation and I am taking 100% responsibility for it. I am keen to get out of this situation as soon as possible hence I would appreciate any help and advice in this process. I am employed at the moment and don’t want to risk going into IVA or bankruptcy as this would risk losing my job. Being sole bread earner of my family, I cannot afford to lose my job. I have been trying to keep up with the payments so far and had few missed payments instances until 3/4 months ago but got caught up with missed payments somehow using my savings. All my debts are still with original lenders. However I know I am getting into same situation again shortly and won’t be able to get out of it again. I have started exploring Debt Management Plan (DMP) option through StepChange but haven’t submitted it yet. Based on budgeting, I have around £820 available to make payments to all lenders after taking care of all other essential expenses. This is definitely lot more affordable than what I am currently paying to different lenders. 1. Is DMP right option for me in current situation? 2. what are the negative consequences of availing DMP? 3. is there something else that I can do to get out of this situation? I’m determined to clear out all my debts but need bit of breathing space and time. Let me know please if you need any additional information. Thanks in advance for all your help and guidance. MM

    • 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.

Hi

Now that this is with the courts, she will have to acknowledge it so that Link do not get a judgement in default.

She should acknowledge and tick that she will be defending all (I assume it's a Northampton address)

Once that is done, she will have to get what evidence Link have.

 

I will move this to the legal issues forum as it is now a legal matter

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

I take it this is a claim pack from Northampton Count Court Bulk Centre, CCs dont't

issue summons'?

We need more detail about the debt and how this has arisen.

1. How old is the dent?

2. When was the last payment or acknowledgment in writting made?

4. What is the debt for?

 

She should send a CCA request immediately.

Then read the guidance notes sent b with the

claim pack.

Please get her to scan and post up a copy of the particulars

of clain (POC) after removing her name and address, and cliam No.

any account or reference numbers and barcodes, leave

in the actual deatails of the POC

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

A friend of mine has been chased by Link for a debt she knows nothing about. She returned every letter stating she knows nothing about the debt

 

I imagine the debt has been assigned to Link from another creditor, does she have other debts? You will probably find that one of the letters was a notice of assignment but if they were all returned unread she would not know!

She actually opened each letter and wrote on the back that she knew nothing about the debt.One question should the CCA request be sent with the response to the summons or sent asap?

Apologies, I assumed if they were returned the envelope was simply marked accordingly and the contents unread. Has a notice of assignment been received then?

 

Send the CCA request ASAP.

 

She doesnt recall, but I assume there would have been, will get the CCA request out tomorrow whenI get the details and post up the summons with POC on here as well.Thanks for all your help

You're welcome.

 

Although many people on this forum quite rightly caution against telephoning creditors, I don't think it would hurt if your friend called just to ascertain who the OC is. That may allow your friend to at least identify the debt and work out if it rings a bell.

If she genuinelly has nothing to do with the debt it is possible to get it thrown out at an early stage by means of a summary judgment and/or strike out, this can be rather complex but has the advantage if you win you could claim sunstantial costs (as its pre allocation).

I wouldn't go as far as "substantial" costs, I imagine as a LiP the costs would not even adequately compensate for the time spent. Andydd is right though, your fried could apply to strike out the claim but I think it's worth trying to find out what is going on first. I suspect that Link will produce a notice of assignment which will make it's locus standi clear, your friend would not want to have made an application to strike out only to find that Link *are* entitled to pursue this debt!

 

Obviously be aware of the deadline for filing a defence.

Asking for a copy of an agreement implies you think there is one.

 

To be fair it doesn't. I think it's perfectly legitimate to say "if you think you have an agreement with me, where is it?".

CCA request? Why? Complete waste of time.

 

You need a CPR 31 request, which is your right and costs nothing. Asking for a copy of an agreement implies you think there is one.

 

Not to sure I fully agree there Donkey, CPR can and often is ignored, a section 77/78 can not be and puts the claimant in default, irrespective of whether the debt is legit or not.

I’ll agree to disagree a bit. I think a CCA request issued AFTER enforcement action has started is pointless as a defence – the case law was that an existing CCA request was outstanding when enforcement action began. It should be done before action starts.

 

(You can ask for the agreement in the CPR, providing an agreement is mentioned in the PoC.)

 

They may ignore CPR, but that’s their look out.

 

Was a ‘prove it’ letter sent when the envelopes were returned?

 

Has she checked her credit report?

Points taken Donkey but there is no legislation stating that a request cant be made at any time. Enforcement is only at the conclusion of any trial and anything that can assist, not be used as a defence surely must be fundamental to any defence. If conclusion is negated then the section 77/78 request was invaluable and a right of any defendant.

 

The sanction under the Act for non-compliance with an information request is unenforceability of the credit or hire agreement for so long as the creditor or owner fails to comply with his duty.

 

Where there is such a failure, the courts have no discretion to allow enforcement.

Of course a CCA request can be made at any time. The sanction though would be the same as a properly conducted CPR request! Many judges will pass judgment without EITHER being complied with, sadly, irrespective of having ‘no discretion’.

 

The sanction is not under the act, is it? – it’s case law.

A section 77/78 request is far more useful to any defence. CPR 31 means not a jot as most will cry " SCT " or standard disclosure, by that time the application for summary judgment is winging its way to the claim.I would rather be in a position to state they are in default of a section 77/78 rather than a " they ignored my CPR request ".

Where an agreement exists, yes, I agree. But, as you say, horses for courses – the OP has stated his friend knows nothing about the debt, so there cannot be an agreement. It’s obtuse to claim on the one hand that there is no agreement, and then ask for a copy of it! I’ve heard of a judge pulling a defendant up (excuse the pun) on this very contradiction.

 

The correct defence, surely, is that the account is not hers.

 

If it transpires it IS her account, then that’s another race altogether.

The correct defence, surely, is that the account is not hers. Absolutely and no CCA request should be made

 

If it transpires it IS her account, then that’s another race altogether. One for the OP,but it could be possible Plink have actually got something correct

Plink, get something right? Nah...

 

Another thing... there’s an assumption that this is a loan/credit agreement that would make a CCA request possible. It may not be. Hence CPR to try and wheedle out what they intend to rely on in court. Will be interesting to see the PoC.

 

My main concern is that we don’t automatically shout ‘CCA request’ in every case without considering the facts (as used to happen on CAG, and lots of people got screwed over by thinking it was the DCA-killer). Even if a CCA request is sent, they may well come up with an agreement, so it isn’t actually part of a defence yet. Hence my caution.

Well if its not a loan or a CC or HP then its unregulated, and a very small amount and most definitely SCT, which as you know CPR 31 is not applicable.Lets wait for the P.o.C.!!
