    • best to be sure it is a N279. not that they pull any underhand stunts of course   but we have seen it. your bal is now £0 but we'll still attend court as you'll probably not as we've said we've closed the account and we'll get a judgement by default. dx  
    • Sorry, last bit They had ticked that they wanted the application dealt with without a hearing, so is there any relevance that a date and time to attend said hearing has been sent out ?
    • I've not seen it personally but I think that's the letter Dad has had from Overdales. I'll see it tomorrow. It states balance: zero
    • Agreed as you clearly have little faith in your star runners, mind you - I have less - conditional on the welcher clause I defined being part, and that we are talking about the three defined candidates: Tice Farage and Anderson - not anyone anywhere as reform might (outside chance) get someone decent to run somewhere. If any of the three dont run - they count as a loss.   welcher clause. "If either of us loses and doesn't pay - we agree the site admin will change the welchers avatar permanently to a cows ass - specific cows ass avatar chosen by the winner - with veto by site on any too offensive - requiring another to be chosen  (or of course, DP likely allows you can delete your account and all your worthless posts to cheapskate chicken out and we'll just laugh) "
    • This is the full details, note they have made an error (1) in that paragraph 5 stated 14 days before hearing not 7. Surely a company of their size would proof read and shouldn't make basic errors like that 1) The Claimant respectfully applies for an extension of time to comply with paragraph 5 of the Order of Deputy District Judge XXX dated XX March 2024 i.e. the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely shall be filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing. 2) The Claimant seeks a short extension of time allow them to further and properly investigate data provided to them by Royal Mail which is of importance to the proceedings and determination of the Claim. 3) The Claimant and Royal Mail have an information sharing agreement. Under the agreement, Royal Mail has provided data to the Claimant in respect of the matters forming the basis of these proceedings. The Claimant requires more time to consider this data and reconcile it against their own records. The Claimant may need to seek clarification and assurances from Royal Mail before they can be confident the data is correct and relevant to the proceedings i.e. available to be submitted as evidence. 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024. 6) This application is a pre-emptive one for an extension of time made prior to the expiry of the deadline. In considering the application, the Court is required to exercise its broad case management powers and consider the overriding objective. 7) In circumstances where applications are made in time, the Court should be reticent to refuse reasonable applications for extensions of time which neither imperil hearing dates nor disrupt proceedings, pursuant to Hallam Estates v Baker [2014] EWCA Civ 661. 😎 It is respectfully submitted that the application is made pursuant to the provisions of CPR 3.1(2)(a) and in accordance with the overriding objective to ensure the parties are on an equal footing when presenting their cases to the Court. The requested extension of time does not put the hearing at risk and granting the Application will not be disruptive to the proceedings.   They have asked for extension Because 2) The Claimant requires additional time to consider and reconcile data received from Royal Mail which is relevant to these proceedings against their own data and records in order to submit detailed evidence in support of this Claim.

    • 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,

I hope someone can help.

 

I have recieved notification for a hearing for a charging order against my property for a ccj of 15k.

In all honesty i buried my head in the sand regarding the ccj as it was at the height of the credit crunch and my business (sole trader) failed. I losy my livelihood and was in debt.

Anyway a year after the ccj a hearing for a charging order is going ahead.

I am in a slightly better position now. In that i have managed to find a job for which i earn approximately £800 per month.

 

I do own 2 properties one of which is where they are attempting to put the charge. However, im not in a position to sell either as one has subsidence and is an ongoing insurance claim and the other (chargiing order property) probably has £60k equity assuming i could get a 2007 price for it.

 

I would be prepared to give them an 'earnings attachment order' as i assume the payments would be low considering my £800 p/m wage. But they would probably say thats too low?

 

I would appreciate some help. I dont want a charge on my property and can begin to pay back. I hope that someone will give me some guidance on my best course of action.

The creditor is the local council from whom my biz premises were rented.

 

Thanks

Hello there.

 

How much is the best for?

 

Charing orders are quite a common method of enforcement for judgment creditors as it allows them security of knowing that they are likely to ge ttheir money back at some point in the future. Sadly, they are difficult to prevent and the vast majority of charging orders will become 'final' at the hearing. Although charging orders are commonplace it is uncommon for a judgment creditor to succeed with an order for sale - and you can give yourself some protection by asking the court to apply conditions to the charge at the hearing - such as no further action on the charge on the proviso that you pay an affordable instalment each month.

 

If you wish to try and prevent the charging order you should contact both the court and the creditor with your objections, this should be at least 7 days prior to the hearing date. For further information in relation to charging orders and the process we've a great fact sheet here:

Hi Slide good advice from ND

 

 

 

Additional costs will be incurred should the Council apply for a Charging Order. The sums that you owe will also be subject to ongoing interest and later deducted from the proceeds of any future sale/re-mortgage and passed to the Council to discharge your debts.

 

Once a Charging Order is applied the Council may also take proceedings in the Courts to force the sale of the land/property.

 

If you have been sent notice of the Council's application for a Charging Order you should pay the total sum due immediately, or contact the Enforcement Section with regards to other options (AoE)

possibly?

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Slide good advice from ND

 

If I may add, the Council Tax that you owe is subject to a Liability Order and amounts to over £1,000 then the Council may apply to the County Court for a Charging Order to be placed on any land or property that you own.

 

Additional costs will be incurred should the Council apply for a Charging Order. The sums that you owe will also be subject to ongoing interest and later deducted from the proceeds of any future sale/re-mortgage and passed to the Council to discharge your debts.

It isn't council tax. It's unpaid rent on a commercial property. As an aside, there is no provision for charging interest on council tax anyway (and there would not be a ccj to allow post judgment interest either) so even if there were a charging order for council tax no interest would fall due.

 

Agree with advice that no chance of avoiding final charging order, but OP should try to get restriction attached preventing OFS if payments made.

The OP as not actually stated what the CCJ was for so:-

 

" The creditor is the local council from whom my biz premises were rented." the OP will confirm.

The mere fact there's a ccj at all rules out council tax.

 

 

Of course Gaston my mistake..

Thank you for the replies, i appreciate them.

I can confirm the ccj was for rent.

 

There is some additional information but i doubt it will make a difference.

The original ccj correspondence was sent to the 'last known address' and not to where i was living at the time.

I understand from a search on the forums here that i would be unable to have the ccj set aside due to the likelihood of it succeeding. Which obviously it would there is no doubt i owe the money.

 

But, as i didnt receive the judgment and was unaware of it (i realised when i did an experian search on myself) is there anything i can do to stop the charging order. and take the matter back a step or two?

For example could i say, 'i didnt recieve the original paperwork. But, i accept that i owe the money can i pay in instalments?' is there a possibility then that i could do this instead of having a charging order put on?

 

BTW assuming they do put a charging order on will i then have to pay further interest on the debt?

Realistically the only way you can't stop the CO now is to apply to set aside the original CCJ as you were served at the wrong address and ask for it to be heard immediately before the FCO hearing.

 

That being said I don't fancy your chances...

I totally sympathise with the OP. As some of you know, I am going through the same thing. I have a quick question though. Does the Creditor have to have obtained a CCJ before applying for a Charging Order?

 

 

Yes.

Correct Gany :roll:

 

Think I may now know why the court has suddenly gone against my creditor and postponed any action then. There was no CCJ. That must be what the Clerk was on about to my husband yesterday. Mystery solved, thanks guys x

Are you sure that's what it is? It shouldn't be possible to get a CO without a CCJ.

Okay so i was looking through all my old paperwork in order to cobble something together for a defence and i came across several reminders from council asking me to 'sign the lease' from recollection i dont think i ever did sign a lease with them.

 

Does this change anything? If so could i possible get the ccj removed completely?
