    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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 dont know if im posting this in the right place, I apologise in advance.

 

On Monday 1st of july I received a letter from Northampton county court (judgement for claimant letter) it states that I have to pay THE LEWIS GROUP 173.84 by the 06/08/2012

 

The alleged debt in question was a river island store card i took out back in Mid 2009,.

 

I then sent recorded delivery a CCA request to the lewis group along with a freedom of information request. I then rang the court explained i dont know of this alleged debt, explained I dont work due to a breakdown I had back in january, i receive employment and support allowence and am on prescription anti-depressants. The lady on the phone said i can put an application in for judgement to be set aside along with an application exempting me from paying the 80-odd-pound fee.

She sent me over the documents I filled then out and sent them recorded delivery (they recieved in on 02/08/2012, but are dealing with a back log of post.)

 

I have today received a letter from the Lewis Group that reads:

 

Dear Mr.............

 

RE: santander Cards UK LTD-633.................

County Court Claim Number-XXXXXXXXXX

 

We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 30/07/12 in which you have requested a copy of your credit agreement under section 77/78 of the consumer credit act 1974.

 

Please note that we are not the creditor in this matter. The creditor is SANTANDER CARDS UK LTD and we are the agentsinstructed to act on there behalf.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the agreement is the subject of this matter was terminated prior to the issuing of county court proceedings and subsequent entry of a county court judgement on 23-07-12. Therefore, the effect of section 78 of the consumer credit act 1974 is no longer applicable and judgment can be enforced should payments not be maintained in accordance with the judgement.

 

We trust this clarifies the matter and look forward to receiving your proposals for payment.

 

regards

 

LEWIS DEBT RECOVERY

 

Is that correct^ If they cannot produce a signed credit agreement i thought the debt being enforced is un lawful? Is it also true that because I apparently ignored corrospondents from them that that means iev admitted having the debt?

 

In short can someone please give me some advice on what I should reply to that letter from lewis group? Are they correct? is there any other tactics i can use? do they still have to send me my CCA and freedom of information documents I requested?

 

Many Thanks I appreciate all who reply.

 

:)

The award of the CCJ overrides your CCA request. If you never received any paperwork prior to having the CCJ against you then you may be able to apply for Set Aside but if you do owe the money then you will just be swapping one CCJ for another and your application will probably be denied. You may be better off applying for a Variation Order whereby the Court can set the level of payments and if on Benefits this could be very low.

just to clarify, even if they cant produce a signed copy of my alleged credit agreement the court can still enforce the CCJ?

 

michael

:oops:

 

At the time the proceedings were started they only had to say that XXX owed a sum of money & if you never defended or replied they would have had Judgment awarded to them. It is too late now for any thoughts of a CCA request & would imagine if it was not then as the agreement is less than 3 years old they would have it anyway.

 

Please be aware that if you do not respond to this then the Creditor may decide to enforce payment via a Warrant of Execution which will add an extra £100 to what you owe, and a visit from the County Court Bailiff.

I have filed a defence to the court and asked for judgement to be set aside, they are dealing with a back log of post at the moment. Lets just say that they no longer have the signed agreement, seems odd that the court can still enforce a ccj if payment isent made even if the claimant has no proof?

I had a breakdown back in january(susicide attempt, iin hospital e.c.t), I said because im on anti-depressants, and see a doctor regulary and am on employment and support allowence, enforcing the judgement would have a major impact on my mental health. and would like it to be set aside, I also made it very clear that I dident believe the alleged debt was mine.......what do you think?

Thanks

Being brutally honest I don't think that is enough. Whilst there may be sympathy with your health issues this has no bearing on whether you owe or not unless you can prove you did not know what you were doing. Have you provided any proof as to why you think the debt is not yours?

 

It may pay to click the little black triangle below and ask this is moved to the Legal Issues Forum as there may be others there better versed in the ins & outs of your debt.

Yes, the lack of an agreement entered into around 2009 will not be sufficient. They will have other ways of confirming that you have an account with them.

This is not going to have an effect on the CCJ - it might well have supported your case earlier had you contacted the company when you first had the financial problems. If the debt is genuinely not yours then you could perhaps make an attempt to have the Judgment set aside.

 

However, did you not enter a defence when you first received the claim form advising that you did not believe the account was yours ?

 

IMHO, you should now complete the form for a variation of the judgment in order to pay by installments.

Thankyou for your reply, I have asked for the judgment to be set aside on the grounds of mental health and believing the debt isent mine.

 

Looking back I should never have sent a CCA request to lewis group at this late stage.

 

It looks like the CCJ will still be put in place, however should I just leave it up to the court to decide what I pay back per month as im on income and support allowence?

It all depends what it says on the judgment order - if it is a "forthwith"judgment, it means they want the money NOW or within the time stated on the order.

 

If this is the case, you need to let the court know that you are not in a position to pay this amount in a lump sum and that you would like an instalment order put in place, based on your submitted income and expenditure form.

 

You cannot circumvent the court procedures.. sorry...

the first payment should reach the claiment by 06-08-12.

I never received a claim form, and as soon as i got this letter i staright away rang the court disputed the debt they sent out the information i needed to fill out for judgement to be set aside and then i sent a cca request to lewis group. The court said they are dealing with a back-log so should reply to me wikthin a month.

Ok, well that seems very strange, the judgment debt is £173.84 which means that you would make one payment of £125.00 and one of £48.84 ??

 

 

If you are going to attempt to have the judgment set aside, then you should wait on the paperwork that is being sent out to you. Alternatively, you can ask for the payments to be made over a longer period of time in an amount you can afford. You will have to complete the proper application form and submit an Income & Expenditure form to the court.

Hi Micael

 

Firstly if you could clarify " The alleged debt in question was a river island store card i took out back in Mid 2009," So the debt is yours?

You have made application to set a side if successful you will have to enter a defence.How can you defend it( I appreciate you have had problems) but that will not be accepted as a valid defence.

Is it the CCJ that bothers you? Or the payments?

 

From the judgment its not a forthwith therefore you cant vary it (N245) you ask for a redetermination (N244) no fee. (subject to how old the judgment is)

 

Regards

 

Andy

I already got the paperwork from the court for judgement to be set aside, they emailed it to me along with a form to fill out so i dont have to pay the fee as im on employment and support allowence.

 

I sent it back to them recorded delivery and they received it on 02/08/12.

 

Seeing as i filed the caa request to late and seeing as its doubtfull jusgement would be set aside I should just write to the court again explain that Ill need them to arrange a relistic payment plan...can i do that? if so....shall i do that now or wait for the outcome about the judgeent being set aside.

 

Im very thankfull for your help

 

Mnay Thanks

Good afternoon everyone. Sorry in advance for my naivety as this is my first time using this wonderful forum.

 

I received a CCJ with regards to an alleged debt of £86.00 to Santander cards on behalf of ‘The Lewis Group’ in July 2013.

 

I sent a CCA request to the Lewis Group and received a letter back informing me they don’t need to comply with a CCA request as they are not the creditor and because a CCJ had already been registered against me Santander wouldn’t have to deal with my CCA request.

 

The alleged debt has since been purchased by Arrow Global.

 

If I send arrow global a SAR and they can’t send me a copy of the alleged agreement is it then possible to get the CCJ removed?

 

All I want is to this agreement! Now a CCJ is registered against me am I able to do this?

 

Advise is welcome 

 

Many Thanks,

 

Michael

YES you can send a SAR at any time.

 

Did you complete the forms sent in a claim pack, acknowledge service of the claim and enter a defence.?

If you did not defend the claim

 

The lack of an agreement will not affect the viability of the CCJ.

 

The time scale here sounds odd CCJ in July 2013 sold on already to AG????

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

Apologies CCJ was obtained in July 2012 but has recently been sold to AG.

 

I did file a defence explaining that I 100% didn’t owe the debt and that I didn’t have a copy of the alleged CCA but the court wrote back and said the court wasn’t able to deal with the application because I haven’t provided sufficient enough evidence.

 

So now the CCJ is registered theres nothing I can do to get it removed?

 

Many Thanks
