Overdales solicitors  How many defendant's  joint or self ?  Self Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to.  13 may 2024 What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc.

Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ?   Not to my knowledge. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  No Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ?  Online but it was for a smaller amount they kept on increasing this with me asking Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.  It was assigned to a debt collection agency  Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? yes  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?  Yes I also made offers to pay original creditor a smaller amount but was not replied to Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No Why did you cease payments?

Yes at the time I communicated with all my creditor's that I was running out of funds to pay the original agreements once my redundancy money ran out that was when my accounts defaulted. I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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 asking this question on behalf of a close friend.

 

At the beginning of the year, my friend was stopped by the Police, driving without a licence.

 

She heard nothing until 10 days ago when a letter from Marston Group Bailiffs demanding some £975 turned up.

 

My friend ignored this and has had a bailiff call today demanding £1175, or they will remove goods on Monday at 07:15.

They say they will be accompanied by the police.

They also threaten to force entry.

 

My friend genuinely heard nothing until 10 days ago,

has absolutely no money and very little in the way of goods to be removed.

 

Do we have any options?

Can the bailiff force their way in?

Can they threaten my friend with jail – they have done this

The letter left by the bailiff says that it is a final notice, does not specify what the debt is for, and appears not to be a court warrant.

 

My friend is extremely worried (as she should be), but she could do with some sound advice if anyone can be so kind

 

Thanks

Apologies but have had to edit your post due to the commercial link. I have alerted the Team to the OP's problem and hopefully the cavalry will be here soon.

 

In the meantime, as suggested, keep all doors and windows locked.They can levy on goods outside, so if there IS a vehicle, then move it well away from the property.

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

Are you saying she had no knowledge of any Court proceedings? Since the offence has she moved address?

 

She hasn't moved address and she does say she heard nothing about the court apearance

It sounds to me as if she has been found guilty in her absence which would explain the size of the fine, probably £890.

 

The Bailiff is attending as the fine has gone unpaid.

 

Has the Bailiff left you any paperwork as to which Court this is?

 

It may be the address the Court has been writing to is incorrect.

 

Whilst it is true a Magistrates Court fine carries the power of forced entry

the Bailiff will need a specific order from the Court allowing this,

which is very rarely given and is aimed at persistent offenders who treat this as a joke.

 

He will be using this as a lever to intimidate you which is why they are telling you 7-15 in the morning -

where are you going to be able to check at that time of day.

 

You do not have to allow them entry and should remove anything lying around outside

- most notably a car.

At least it gives a starting point as it says HMCTS Manchester who you must make contact with on Monday.

 

Thanks. I will get my friend to make that her first call on Monday.

This is actually VERY simple.

 

All that is required is for your friend to contact the relevant Magistrates Court and ask to speak with the Fines Office and explain that he had not received an initial summons. The court should then allow you friend to swear a Statutory Declaration. This will then "rewind" the procedure and a new summons will be issued and this will allow your fiend the opportunity to enter a plea etc. The bailiff fees will be removed and all enforcement will cease.

The Bailiff didn’t show up on Monday and i have not seen my friend since (see, it is really not me, it is a friend :whoo:)

 

If your advice is correct, and i have no reason to think otherwise, i struggle to imagine a more favourable outcome.

 

I shall pass on your advice & post back when i have an update.

 

Many, Many thanks.
