    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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

 

Just noticed in your #post43 that the police gave you a Crime Reference Number. (if it isnt classed as a crime by the Police why have they given you a Crime Reference Number?).

 

As you now have a Crime Reference Number I would give this to you car insurance if not cancelled already due to this.

I experienced something along the lines of your problem, albeit with my dog and not a vehicle. I had split up with my partner in 2008, and shortly after was evicted (illegally), leaving me to spend a few nights in my car, which wouldn't have been fair on my dog. Now, I'd had my dog, Buster, for 6yrs before meeting my then partner, and when we split and I was evicted, I asked her to look after him for me. She then passed Buster onto her parents, and I kept in contact over the coming months, having moved initially into a bedsit, then into a house. On moving into the house I asked my ex partners parents to return Buster, to which they refused. I tried going along the police route, although they refused to help as they stated it wasn't theft, although if I was to go and remove buster from their care it would be construed as theft by myself. The long and short of it is, I had to issue a claim via court for the return of Buster, and the judge, having established that in his view Buster was mine, ordered my ex partners parents to return Buster within 14 days.

What I'm trying to put across is, the law, civil and criminal, are 2 completely different things, and your friend, although he may not have committed an offence in the eyes of the police, may not fare so well if you take the civil route...

Which bit of you admit you owe money on the car and that the registration document (V5) clearly states under sedction 5 (C.4.c This document is not proof of ownership) is not sinking in?

 

This is a civil case and the best recourse is to find common ground with your so called friend.

 

Without doubt............it is not theft.

 

Unless you start to negotiate with your friend you are on a hiding to nothing.

i have been told by a solicitor that it is theft bas he has no proof of ownership or the amount he wanted for the veichle or any set payment terms or an agreed time to ay for the veichle .... i have had the veichle in total for 10mths 4 mths on his insurance and then in jan he handed over the v5 and signed it over as i had paid nearly all the 1000 pounds for the veichle ...as we have finished working together and he has taken a big hit in customers going bang on him he is struggling for money.so he has now come back demanding another 500 pounds without any proof and hasnt shown the police any...but because it is a friend or familly police will not get involved if i didnt no him they would have done something. so it is theft as i have the v5 insure it taxed it took it through mot ..as you say v5 is not proof of ownership he has got none whatsoever in writting or an agreement or recipt so what counts as ownership surely i have more writes with everything in my name and he has nothing...and he cannot hold the van for the tools as that is a seperate issue which is civil but he has the tools in the van aswell as the 950 pounds plus the 500 i have already paid of them plus the 1300 pounds the veichle is worth aswell as the expensive stereo and bluetooth system in there. so he cannot do what he is doing so i have to send him a letter of litigation and give him seven days then i can take him to court for loss of earnings as well as bounced morgage payments and everything else and he HAS NO PROOF OF OWNERSHIP as well as the tools have my signature on the recipts how can they put them on his account ?????. the world would be absolute anarchy if we could go and take stuff and say we owned it with no proof at all ....

Good advice from your solicitor there. Follow his instructions and ANY response you get from that idiot with your van MUST be dealt with calmly and professionally. The last thing you want any court to see is that you have a vendetta against him.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
