Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied.

The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance. 
    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.
    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response?

    • 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 am an eBay top rated UK power seller. This is my full time business.

 

Last week I was forced to see a gaping hole in eBay’s security/ seller protection.

All sellers need to take note of what happened to me as you will find it extremely difficult to resolve because of the way eBay operate.

 

I am in the UK and have an eBay shop on eBay.co.uk

 

A UK buyer went on to eBay.com as opposed to eBay.co.uk (this is imperative for the fraud to succeed) and made her purchase from the .com rather than the .co.uk site.

 

This buyer then bought goods from me for £49.99 I posted the goods using first class recorded delivery. The goods were signed for the next day.

 

The buyer then opened an item not as described case in the .com resolution centre. saying that she had bought a different size to that which she received.

 

I have been sending messages to this buyer but she ignored all of my messages.

 

She then put a tracking number in the eBay.com resolution centre; she did not send me the tracking number.

(she had no intention of sending any item back to me as this was part of the Confidence Trick])

I then checked the tracking number and the only message that the tracking number brought up was ‘this item has been delivered’.

 

In I then rang the Post Office and they informed me that this tracking number referred to a parcel that was posted 24th January 2012

and collected from the sorting office in Halifax on 25th Jan 2012.

 

The Post Office then provided all of the tracking details which I then forwarded to eBay.co.uk as I could not get anyone on eBay.com to hear my case.

 

The transaction by this fraudulent buyer took place on 20th August 2012.

 

In the resolution centre, the only communication I am allowed is with either the buyer or eBay themselves is to click the button to refund the buyer.

There is no option to dispute what the buyer has said.

 

In the meantime,

I have spent many hours on the telephone to eBay and got absolutely nowhere because eBay.co.uk cannot deal with any problems that come from eBay.com.

I have tried ringing eBay.com numerous times, but got nowhere in doing so.

 

The eBay.co.uk have been helpful in the way that they can see exactly how I have been duped by this buyer

but cannot do anything about because the person bought on eBay.com which is US based.

 

I received a telephone call from an ebay call centre based in the Philippines by a manager and she confirmed that ebay.co.uk

cannot look at the case because the transaction was made on ebay.com.

 

Now to add insult to injury, ebay.com have now found in the buyers favour and put a strike against my seller account because I did not refund payment to this buyer.

This is despite that eBay.co.uk fully aware that I have been the victim of a fraudulent buyer.

So despite no item being returned to me and also that I have categorically proved that I am the victim of fraud,

eBay.com have not only allowed this loophole to be exploited to the full,

but also held myself liable for it!

 

To highlight the M.O. of this buyer that eBay can do nothing to prevent.

· Opened an eBay account in the UK

· Opted to have Private Feedback

· Used her works address in Guildford Surrey on eBay and Paypal

· Used a telephone number that doesn’t belong to anyone

· Went on to eBay.com to make the purchase

· After receiving the goods, opened an ‘item not as described’ case in the eBay.com resolution centre (Buying on the ebay.com site as opposed to eBay.co.uk is Key to the success of the Fraud)

· Send an ‘old as you can get’ tracking number to the eBay.com resolution centre.

· The older the tracking number, the better as a detailed history is harder to obtain and is not checked to it's validity by eBay.com

 

· Ignored all email messages that I sent to the buyer

· The Fraudster knows full well that eBay.co.uk team can/will do nothing to help you because the transaction was not made on the .co.uk site but on the .com site

· You will not be able to get thru to speak to someone in the US where eBay.com is based and if you do, they do nothing about your concerns.

 

You may get so frustrated going round and round in circles for hours and days on end that you have to give up,

if your whole life is not going to be consumed by trying to resolve the issue.

 

The case has been found in the fraudulent buyers favor and she has had her payment including postage costs refunded in full.

She also gets to keep the item she purchased from me.

I have spoken to eBay staff at the eBay.co.uk call centre in Dublin and they agree that it is totally wrong but can do nothing about it.

 

Please be wary that this can happen to any seller and eBay will not do a single thing to protect the seller and will always side with the buyer whether or not concrete proof of fraud is provided. This is the way the system works when a transaction is carried out as above.

I will be reporting this to the Police, but all ebayers need to know how the system works in a buyers favor if they purchase on the ebay.com site as opposed to ebay.co.uk. The staff at eBay's UK call centre in Dublin tried to stop this fraudster from winning the case and one of the staff at Dublin took on the case himself and contacted ebay.com on my behalf (this is not usually allowed, if you have a problem on the .com site, you only deal with eBay.com in the US) as I had provided categorical proof that this is fraud but was still unable to stop the person being refunded. All a person needs to do is this - if he/'she is outside the United States, make a purchase using ebay.com - Not ebay.co.uk, or whatever Country you may reside, report that you have a problem, provide an old tracking number from the oldest parcel you can get and that's all you need to do. The buyer will win the case. Simply crazy, yes.

The eBay staff are well aware of my case and would be welcome to make a comment here because they are not happy with the way the system has been allowed to cheat me but they simply can't stop it.

This seems like a bit of a dumb fraud, probably carried out by someone who thinks they are being clever but ultimately may be easily tracked, i recall a similar case in my local apper, a young guy found with hundreds of items in his house and was then arrested.

 

Surely most sellers know that Ebay has many flaws and in cases like this, ignore what Ebay say and go straight to the police, if this person is carrying it out lots of times, the police may well be interested but may need some persueding.

I received a phone call today from a staff member at eBay.co.uk and he can't understand how I lost the case with having absolute proof that this fraud. He had tried to prevent the eBay.com resolutions team from siding with the fraudster but has so far been unable to so. He also agrees that if he couldn't stop this from inside of eBay, it is impossible for me, being outside of eBay to prevent this happening. It is an established fact that anyone can pull off multiple con tricks

like this from anywhere in the world simply by making a purchase on the eBay.com site as opposed to the eBay.co.uk site or any other country's eBay site. I have told eBay that I have put this case on the forum as people need to know what can happen even though they cannot be protected by eBay from this type of fraud.

After numerous lengthy conversations with eBay.co.uk I have now had an email that tells me tha my selleing account has been compromised and that the case will not be held against me. This is a feeble excuse by eBay as they only did this after being told that a complaint is going to be made to the Police and this will at the very least show that eBay are guilty of malfeasance. My eBay account has not been compromised in any way shape or form. I was not even asked to change the password on the account. eBay are trying now to play this down as it is a practise that can be carried out with impunity by anyone whom so wishes. I will keep cag updated with further responses from eBay

eBay’s email to me is copy and pasted below

A note has just been sent to my Paypal account which provides further proof that it is impossible to prevent fraud when it is executed as described in my initial post. I have copy and pasted the message below. In the meantime I have again rang eBay.co.uk and am waiting a return call as they are struggling to provide proper assistance to me.

 

You are receiving this email because eBay has refunded a buyer who bought an item from you. This refund was for eBay item ********** to eBay member ******** for the total amount of USD 87.11. This refund was due to a dispute raised by the buyer stating Item Not as Described. As you are aware, in these cases eBay contacts you to provide a resolution for the dispute within 7 days. In this case as you did not resolve the dispute, eBay refunded the money to the buyer. You are now requested to reimburse the refund amount to eBay. Please note that if you do not reimburse the full amount to eBay, your eBay selling privileges may be restricted or removed. For more information about the dispute process, please visit the Resolution hub: Please contact eBay Customer Support for any additional questions you may have. Sincerely, eBay Customer Support

In one of my earlier posts where I copy and pasted an email from eBay's messaging system, where it states that my account was compromised was a deliberate lie by eBay because they now accept that this was fraud committed by the buyer. eBay.com have always tried to hide this fraud as it is so so easy to perpetrate and they do nothing to prevent it.

I spoke with a Supervisor today from eBay.co.uk and he is expecting to make an official reply to this thread giving eBay's reasons why they allow this things to happen.

To re iterate, it is eBay.com based in the US that are at fault in this matter. eBay.co.uk have known that is a case fraud but could do nothing to prevent eBay.com from siding firmly with the fraudster.

The way for a person to buy something without having to pay, is log onto eBay.com (not eBay.co.uk) and make the purchase from the .com site. Then after receiving the goods, say that they will be returned to the seller. Provide some old tracking number a few days later and ...........the buyer is automatically refunded.

eBay should, any day now, post their reasons for allowing the fraud to take place, then rewarding the fraudster by giving a 100% refund plus P&P. Then putting a strike against my seller account and also a threatening message in my Paypal account stating that if I don't refund eBay for the full total that they had paid the buyer, they are going to restrict or suspend my account. Disgraceful, no less.

We await your response eBay. You asked for the link, now you've got it please respond so the Public can see what you have to say!

WOW! Disgraceful behaviour, as you say. Well first of all I'm sorry to hear that you've had so much hassle ... and secondly, thanks very much for the warning. This incident really DOES need to be widely publicised.

 

Obviously a crime (fraud/obtaining goods & cash by deception) HAS been committed by the buyer.

Update: I have now been given £25 in eBay vouchers because eBay.co.uk have accepted that eBay.com got it wrong. (£25 in no way compensates for the time I have had to spend fighting them for 'turning a blind eye' in allowing fraud to take place).

It is also well known amongst eBay staff that if a person returns even an empty box and provide tracking details of such, the fraudster will always win. eBay know that in the majority of cases, when the fraud doesn't amount to a large amount of money, quite often, the seller won't pursue it because of the length of time it takes and eBay themselves will always side with the buyer - regardless. It was only because of my good fortune in being able to speak to the right eBay staff at the Dublin (eBay.co.uk) offices, was I able to get any sort of justice. It was impossible for me to win my case with eBay.com without their help, despite having concrete evidence that I was the victim of fraud - they simply sided with the buyer and put 'strikes' against my account (only removed because Dublin offices took up my case) and then told me that my account would be restricted or suspended if I didn't ' pay up.

This fraud is obviously more widespread than just an individual case here and there, eBay.com obviously have policies in place that frustrate sellers from taking a stand against fraudsters - One reason that is evident, is that it takes up eBay's time when a seller disputes a case like I have done, and time equals money, so eBay.com simply 'stonewall' any legitimate claims by sellers that a buyer has committed fraud against them as it is less work for them if they can deter the buyer from fighting such cases.
