    • Lolerz - I don't understand you.  Rebuked you?   No. I simply replied to your orange comments with legal facts as I know them.  I've already worked through the s42 and s146 issues - over the last 3-4y - and these issues are (mostly) resolved legally.  In terms of posting evidence.  Sure I can post some.  But my most recent questions have been a) how can I enforce a sale before trial?  And b) how can I make a complaint and/or a claim v receiver? (E.g. to which body do I complain?).  At the mo I'm asking for some helpful pointers on those specific questions??  I'm not asking for help with how to prove or present evidence. Fwiw - all evidence for trial has been disclosed (although additions are poss). The lender sent me like 10,000 emails and docs.  There's also 000s of emails, docs, photos, videos, recordings and texts that relate to freeholders/ me.   I read, filed and categorised everything for ease of future reference.  Witness statements and evidence were prepared for trial in the 42 and 146 matters. (now joined with current claim to save duplication).  I've lived the process before.  My current statement and linked evidence has taken like 6 months to draft/ write - to ensure I can succinctly prove my defence and counterclaim points.   Whether I can convince a judge at trial w/o lawyer / barrister is debatable 🙄   But I've prepared.  And continue to try better prepare - which is why I visit this site (and clinics).  This is NOT my business or expertise at all.  I'm just trying.  Not that anyone should ever have to justify why they need help if they ask politely! 
    • Thanks for the other info will also take a look at that.
    • It doesn't use the word reconstructed in the cover letter.  Although, I have just noticed on the cover letter they have asked me to complete a financial statement and offer a repayment within the next 10 days, or they will continue to follow court directions.  They sent a separate letter on the same day advising me they will be continuing with their claim ?  They have done the same for both claims.  Is it worth just doing that - doing the financial breakdown and offering a x amount.    
    • hahah except I can't locate the courier to frighten them with it hahaha   
    • Dx100uk according to the ICO office, who I spoke to at some length earlier today after getting the email from the court, Equita are the data controller if they have instructed the contracted EA. The ICO have noted the case, and stated very clearly that the court has the higher standing in terms of dealing with, and punishing either party if they fail to adhere to the district judges order and any action they take will not be criminal.    but they also stated very clearly that with what I’ve told them, and on the basis of accepting what I’ve told them as gospel (which it is with written confirmation from both the courts and the police) then there is some major red flags being raised on both sides with them blaming each other.    they’ve advised me to essentially keep my powder dry until there is a charging decision and an outcome from the seperate proceedings with the EAC2 complaint, and then come back to them with the case and they will be in a stronger position to act against Equita and the EA as there will be established facts and evidence that have already been laid before a court.

    • 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.

Just seeking some information regarding a court liability order that six of us have against our name dating to an unpaid council tax bill in 2005.

 

A bailiffs has all of our names but at the moment is only trying to find me,

(and not particularly successfully, so I'm not worried there)

 

but I had heard that the time you want to start worrying is when the Bailiffs pass it back to the council and then the council take it on to the next step.

 

Can this involve criminal charges being brought?

 

Any advice gratefully received...

 

L.

If the LO has the 6 different names on it then they may enforce against any person on that list either as a whole or individually

- in other words they can make 1 person pay for the whole debt.

 

If they are chancing their arm against yourself it may mean they have not been able to track the others down or they see you as the most likely target.

 

If for some reason they fail to elicit any of the hard earned from you and the others are still out of it they may return it to the Council for further action.

 

This may take several courses including but not limited to Attachment of Earnings/Benefits, Charging Order, Bankruptcy

or a Committal Hearing where you will be ordered to appear to explain why the debt has gone unpaid

- the ultimate sanction for this is to be imprisoned.

 

Please be aware the debt will never be statute barred.

CTAX debts sadly cannot be SB'ed.

 

 

the key here is the date of the LO.

 

the OP needs to contact the council and ask:

 

You need to speak to someone at the Council and ask the following questions:

1 - how many Liability Orders they have against you

2 - the dates they were obtained

3 - the addresses they were for

4 - the period of time each covers

5 - how much each one was for

6 - how much is still outstanding

7 - the dates they were passed on for enforcement

8 - ask them if they permit their agents to subcontract as it appears that the bailiff is a self-employed bailiff

 

 

the LO may well have 'expired'

Good advice thanks, will make that call... Can you elaborate on 'expired'? What that means exactly and what implications it has... I take it it doesn't actually expire just by the fact you've placed it in '...'!

Providing the Council obtain a Liability Order within 6 years of the CTAX being due then it can never be Statute Barred. Even if they have let 6 years or more elapse then although it is still not SB'd it is not expected for them to enforce against you for it.

Right, so if left unpaid then we can guarantee that at some point all of us will be charged in court and receive a conviction? Sorry just clarifying but it's pretty handy to know.

It is NOT a conviction, it is a Liability Order. and is a strange animal as it is dealt with in a civil manner, but in a criminal jurisdiction.

We could do with some help from you.

Ah right, I understand we all have Liability Orders against us and these don't ever expire.

 

But what will happen down the line if this debt goes unpaid - will it result in a criminal conviction further down the line?

 

Does anyone have any information on previous cases?

 

Appreciating all the information.

Despite what a skanky bailiff may claim, prison for council tax is at the end of a long road of wilful non payment, you could go to prison much quicker for non payment of a of TV Licence, fine as that is criminal. In fact TV Licence fines were the biggest reason women especially single mothers were sent to prison in the 1980's and 1990's (CAB data)

Funny thing is the council usually in hire a court room at the maggies court and all that happens is that the maggies are presented with a wad of paper with peoples names on it and they just stamp it and sign it. Liability orders gained. I was at one hearing watching this and in a space of 10 minutes the council had liability order to the tune of 290k.

So whats cooking today ?

Exactly, if the truth be known the liability order is a Kangaroo system with the magistrates a rubber stamp operation the whole procedure from the automated council referral for LO, to the magistrates most likely a breach of parts of Articles 5, 6, 7 and 8 in how it operates. of course a Nelson's i

s turned to the iniquity of the whole charade.

Have you got what it takes to become a Magistrate?

 

Questions & Answers

 

Q1. I've been told I can become a Magistrate without any qualifications or legal training, is this true?

 

A. Absolutely! As a Magistrate you'll not be required to involve yourself in any aspect of the law.

 

 

Q2. I'm worried that my lack of legal knowledge will cause me to make a wrong decision, how can I be reassured that I won't?

 

A. You will not make wrong decisions. You will be given clear instructions of how you are to determine the case in advance of the hearing. Your job is to appear like you're considering the evidence. You will be effectively playing a role in a theatre production.

 

 

Q3. I'm concerned that I may be required to deliver a guilty verdict when the defendant is so obviously innocent. How would I convince attendees in the courtroom that the process is fair and just.

 

A. As a trainee Magistrate you would have plenty of opportunities to gain experience in this area. You would be assigned a mentor who would accompany you on many cases before you were allowed to go solo.

 

 

Q4. I would love to become a Magistrate just to have the JP suffix after my name. But I consider having to sit on serious cases far too big a price to pay for this privilege. What is the most serious trial a Magistrate gets involved in?

 

A. You will normally only get involved with minor offences which entail bulk processing like TV licences, Council Tax liability orders or in instances where motorists forget to submit details to the DVLA.

 

 

Q5. I understand that in all Magistrate court cases the verdict has all ready been determined before the hearing. Why is the charade necessary (the court's involvement) when there is no decision to be made?

 

A. You are quite correct. It is all a charade, but there are procedures laid down in law which need to be followed. As a Magistrate your function will normally be to attend for "conveyor style" prosecutions, where secondary legislation has been devised for the purpose of processing defendants in bulk – guaranteeing a healthy revenue source from the process.

So I guess no one actually knows what might happen? It's strange as I'm guessing it must have happened a number of times over the years.

 

It's not strange at all. Council Tax is one of the anomalies to the Magistrates Court in being a civil case & not criminal, at the same time no record is made on your Credit History about the debt. The Council have a range of measures they can use against you and/or any other listed on the Liability Order - it's called joint & several liabilty. If you or any of the others have been tracked down and refuse to pay anything towards the debt you may eventually be summonsed to the Magistrates again for a Committal Hearing for you to explain why it has gone unpaid. If the Magistrates believe you are wilfully refusing to pay then a term of imprisonment will be inevitable - search Google for examples. Your best bet is to make regular payments in the interim and if you know where the others are I would recommend contacting them to make a contribution. The debt will never go away.

That's great, thank you. Exactly the post I was after. I guess the only real unknown is the timescale that the council wil take further and more serious action. Thanks for all the advice.

That ploddertom is the best advice for this situation, pay something and try to track the others down, and contact them to get them contributing also.
