    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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 Guys,

 

This is my first time on here, and i was wondering if someone could help me!!

I received a letter from the commonly know Marston Group bailiffs demanding £883.34

 

Offence: Keep a vehicle without a valid vehicle Licence 14/06/2011

 

letter reads:

 

'we are in possession of a Magistrates Court Order as a consequence of non payment of the above amount.

We are instructed to demand immediate payment in FULL from you. We must inform you that unless the TOTAL

sum due is paid into out office within 7 days of the date of this letter;our bailiffs will attend to levy distress and remove your goods for the sale by PUBLIC AUCTION. This action will involve a minimum further cost of £215!!'

 

 

Now i understand that i was in the wrong for my offence hence pleading guilty at the time in the magistrates court. At the time i agreed to pay a sum of £50 per month to clear this debt which then decreased to £30 per month with the help of the fines officer at the court. i had made payments until i think 3 months ago. i had not received any notice or letter about missed payments at the time. I also became unemployed and i was and still continuing to look for work so the £30 per month payment slipped my mind and secondly i could not have able to afford it in the first place. so im guessing its my fault not informing the court of my change of circumstances but like i said that completely slipped my mind as i was on frantic search for new work.

 

As it stands i am currently staying in my friends house for which i am lucky enough not to pay rent, she is of the opposite sex (female). most of belongings are in the second bedroom which actually looks like an office. i also own a vehicle which is parked outside of the property. i am afraid if i loose the vehicle then i will be doomed as my line of work (when i get a job) requires me to travel i would say its the most valuable thing i have in my possession apart from my clothes.

 

I am not sure what to do next , what if they come to the door demanding payment?? there is no way i can pay for this at all. should i contact the court or call the bailiffs so that they do not come to the house. i am also afraid that they will things in the house that do not belong to me ( how do i prove that?)

 

IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO IS WILLING TO GIVE ME SOME ADVICE PLEASE HELP AS I AM VERY AFRAID AND CLUELESS AS TO WHAT I DO NEXT.

 

Thank you in advance

Didn't want to read and run other people know much more about this subject than me is there a breakdown of the charges on the letter? I would also call the court today I believe there is something you can do to get it taken from benefits

My views are based on experience I would always urge you to do some further research and if in doubt seek legal advice.

bailiffs can not take goods that don't belong to you.

 

there is no right of entry for the bailiffs keep them out don't let them in

 

bailiffs lie contact the court if you can make arrangements to pay and stick to it don't over commit if not working

 

move car to prevent a levy/transfer ownership for now:-)

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

any advice given is based on experience and learnt from this site :-)

Suggest you get down to the magistrates court with something to prove you are on benefits and to ask for their help. Perhaps if you do this, the bailiffs will be called off and you can enter into some payment arrangement with the court.

 

Sometimes best to sort these things out face to face with the court staff, rather than in phone calls.

We could do with some help from you.

be careful, the magistrates court order will be a warrant of distress

this DOES give the bailiffs powers of forced entry

they cannot take goods that do not belong to you

buy if you cannot prove at the time they will be levied and then the owner of the goods has 5 days to prove he/she owns the goods

it will have gone down this route as you broke the aggrement with the court

the £85 fee is an admin fee, which is an aggreed amount set by the court that the enforcement company can charge

the£215 fee is the fee set by the court to enforce the warrant if people have to make a personal visit

hi there id like to contribute what i know, not much but hope it can help.

i agree with the comments earlier that to seek help with the court and see if they can come to some sort of arranement. explain ur case that ur on benefits etc, failing that and u do get a visit from the lovely balifs, make sure all windows and doors are locked, including ones on a first floor as they have the right and its legal to enter through any unopened door or window, this is known a s 'peaceful entry' they willl use ladders etc if they are need to gain acces to a window on the first floor. you also have the right to refuse them entry but what ever you do do not permit them entry, just a tip but make sure they cannot see through the windows as they may start making a lost of what they want they are craftly sods. once they have made that list it becomes a walking possession agreement, DO NOT SIGN IT! u can legally refuse to do so. if signed u have a certain amount of time to pay wat u owe before they sell urs goods. they cannot take wat doesnt belong to you, although they will try, anything they do take the ower will have a time period to prove ownership. u may need to sign a sworn statement saying that the goods are not urs and belong to Mr or Mrs XXX i hope this has helped.

is see you are trolling again nothing changes

why the doom and gloom

 

you seem to be giving some duff info from other posts as well

like many on this forum i have had experience with bailiffs on a number of occasions and are able to offer constructive advice and not `copy and paste`from a Google search which is only a general over site of bailiff practices

 

as always you have a nice day:closed_2:

How much of the original fine have you paid? was the further steps notice (the Court are obliged to send) sent to the address where you are living?If there is nothing in the home at which you live that's seen to actually belong to you, then a simple stat dec by the tenant/owner of the property to say the property along with all goods within and in the immediate confines of the home belong to her, will suffice to stopping the bailiff forcing entry.

 

If you are on JSA then the Court can apply to have payment deducted from your benefit, UB's post#10 is the right way to go IMHO, but move your car and park at least two streets away for the time being to prevent the bailiff making a levy on it.

I see you are demonstrating your amazing talent for Lower Gastro-Intestinal Ventriloquism again, Sgt Bush. The Magistrates Order you refer to does not confer any power of forced entry on the bailiff, who has to seek written authority from the court to exercise a forced entry to a fine defaulter's property. The bailiff also has to be able to prove the fine defaulter is persistently avoiding payment of the fine. I am currently dealing with a case involving Marstons on another site where there is clear evidence that Marstons are deliberately lying to the court that the person is avoiding paying their fine, which is untrue, as Marstons are doing everything possible to avoid taking payments and are actively preventing the person from making payments.
