    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. 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. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. 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.

    • 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.

Not quite sure what you are asking help for.

 

Were you served papers prior to the LL sending the bailiff round ?

 

I am not quite sure what the situation will be with the bank if they have a charge on the Lease ?

Thanks for your reply citizenB

To be honest i am not sure what is my question i am a bit lost.

The LL sent his Bailiff about 18 months ago and we agreed to pay him £500 monthly on top of current rent witch i paid but he has changed his mind now and instructed his Bailiff to collect £1000 per week or he will close the shop.

I told him I cant pay and give me time so i can sell the business,he agreed initially but after few days he changed the lucks,and did not take my calls and in two days the shop was let to new tenant.with increased rent of £9K.

My question is about the secured lone,and the way bank will demand their money and what is their legal rights.

Is it better to apply for Bankruptcy myself or wait until LL or bank do it.

Thanks

Ask him for a proper breakdown as some of what he can charge is set within the Distress for Rent Rules, you need more than just a figure. Have you also checked to see if the Bailiff is suitably Certificated? Tools of the trade should be exempt from seizure meaning some of what he has seized has to be necessary for you to carry out your trade.

So you were already in a payment arrangement and then the guy changed his mind and wanted more. Did you have the arrangement in writing ?

If you are even considering BR, then I would let either the LL or the bank do it.. that way you wont have to pay the cost of applying for BR.

 

Have a word with National Debtline - they have a Business section now and might be able to offer some good advice :)

What does the Lease Agreement say about forfeiture?

 

How long was the rent overdue?

 

Did you receive a section 146 notice or any other correspondence from your landlord before he changed the locks?

Well if he never formally terminated the lease and didn't serve a s146 notice, then I guess the lease was still valid, in which case you would be entitled to damages for being wrongfully evicted. However the landlord could set-off the unpaid rent so I am not sure this gets you anywhere.

 

If you are moving overseas in three weeks and you have no assets I guess UK bankruptcy is not a disaster. In fact it may be better if you are made bankrupt as I believe it should stop him from trying to claim the debt against assets you acquire in future. A lot of people who move abroad make themselves bankrupt in the UK to stop the debt from hanging over them. However I am not an expert on this perhaps speak to CAB or nationaldebtline.

You don't need a s146 when there is non-payment of rent - merely a demand for payment, non-payment, followed by peaceable re-entry (must be a clause in the lease allowing for such - but most commercial leases include them).

I think people are glossing over things here. It sounds like the LL stole the OP's items. Notice how they said no paperwork, the "bailiffs" just came and took stuff.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Depends if the items had become fixtures really. Plus it appears the LL levied distress, for which he does not necessarily need a court order (it's a common law right).

 

The important point here was that the LL may have waived his right to forfeiture (by accepting part payments and levying distress), but since the OP did not seek advice before it all happened, he lost the benefit of that - he could have fought it, but it's over now, he's moving on, and any bankruptcy probably isn't going to affect him unless he comes back to the UK
