    • Followed up with letter which is no surprise as I’m easy to find via electoral roll. Letter says we have been asked to recover from you on behalf f our client in Middle East x amount. if you believe you are not liable please contact us - yeah right! If you wish to make payment here are our client bank details which look genuine and relate directly to a Dubai bank. ” if you don’t engage our client may take further action” etc blah blah blah. its the same type phrases used by CWD/IDRWW/IDR etc…..   I ignored the email, blocked the text number and will wait to see if I receive any formal action via Mail but seems like the same tactic I’ve seen for 10 years plus and I’ve ignored all. just for people’s info

    • Visiting scotland I came across a car park at The Falls of Shin operated by Civil Enforcement Limited. The car park requires visitors to pay using the awful Phone and Pay app or over the phone using an eqully terrible automated service. Their signs state a time limit of 10 minutes after arriving to pay, and both methods require needlessly lengthy registration process only for payment to be rejected when attempting to pay by both. The Cafe were able to offer us some assistance and register our vehicle so hopefully we sould avoid a fine but this seems like entrapment and would still stop us returning again. How is this legal without giving visitors the option to pay on site?

    • 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 understand - may be it is better to err on the side of caution on this. The chances of actually recovering the next £5000 + interest may be in jeopardy but safer than incurring costs which we cannot afford.

 

I'll re-do the paperwork with just her name and send a letter to the Chancery Judge to forewarn another case will be brought against the Defendant for the same reasons.

Well, a further update to the original post.

 

The deadline for the whole payment to be at the Court was 19th March @ 4.00pm.

 

Today I received a letter with a cheque for £254.80 and a notification they had sent post dated cheques which had to be returned as the court rejected those, and even then, it only made up £750 worth of liability. So they're in some serious doo-doo. The case has been passed back to the Chancery District Judge and I'm hoping they'll take direct action and proceed with prosecution. For the amount they'll owe on both Trustee cases, it'll be around £13,000 in total, I'm hoping that'll make some form of local news, to shame them. I know it sounds harsh but for what they've done ... is unfair and dishonest and no defence could be made for what they did.

 

So the saga continues. If they don't take further action to recover the amount I'll go for an Attachment of Earnings order, best chance of recovering the entire amount, albeit in small chunks. I don't think there's much point sending Court Appointed Bailiffs in as they can only enforce up to £5000, which is a shame.

 

I'll keep you posted with what happens.

I don't think the Chancery District Judge could initiate prosecution. Presumably at most he could inform the CPS or police.

 

If you wanted to take bailiff action you would give the case to HCEOs who can enforce for a higher amount. Whether they'd be able to find £13,000 of assets though is another question.

This is carrying on from my previous case, this time it's my second Step Son, who was left £5000 in the Will.

 

I've prepared the paperwork much the same as the first case but as soon as she got the paperwork she admitted to owing it, but has supplied nothing in the way of where the money is or how much interest is owed, so I haven't been able to put this down on paperwork. I've attached a PDF of a letter which arrived today - looks like they made the judgement regardless of my argument? Not overly happy with that, I know I can object to this, but what shall I do? Shall I object claiming she hasn't provided documentary evidence of where the money is? How much interest it should have accrued? Also -- should I request the interest rate be set at 8% as she hasn't sent and documentation as to how much there should have been if it had still been in Trust.

 

Any advice gratefully received as I'm now concerned she'll just end up having to pay £250 a month (which is OK as long as it includes 8% interest).

The £5000 seems to cover interest up until the date of judgment. Is this correct?

 

In theory you could object and try to push this to a hearing but I'm not sure there is a great deal this would achieve. I think you might struggle to get documentary evidence of where the money is. My best guess is that the money has been frittered away over time on general living expenses.

 

Did you ever start receiving payments for the first case?

The £5000 was the amount left in trust, the £5000 does not have any interest included (my previous case was successful and the judge awarded 8% interest which added a further £1800 making the total judgement £6800).

 

Can I now request the interest on this? I have no date to go from as they have provided no evidence (she had to supply it for the previous case and I have a date the monies were invested, but this being a separate case I'm not using any of the information from that case)

Since the judgement, received two cheques for just over £500 ... nothing since and I believe it is with the Police for investigation as to whether it can be classed as a criminal act.

The judgment is inclusive of interest up to 24 April 2014. Presumably this is because it was the amount claimed. If you are feeling bullish there might be a possibility of trying to go back and claim pre-judgment interest, but it would not be easy now that there is a judgment in play and I think would need a retrospective amendment to your claim.

 

Judgment debts of 5,000 and above automatically carry interest from the date of judgment (i.e. 24 April 2014). However, where the terms of a judgment specify payment by installments interest does not begin running on the amount of an installment until it falls due (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1991/1184/article/3/made)

 

Regarding the first claim, if the court order requires immediate payment then interest will be running at 8%. It sounds like she is trying to pay this off by installments but interest will run unless the installments are approved by court order.

 

Regarding the second claim, it sounds like there will be no interest unless and until an installment is late.

So it's looking unlikely I'll be able to claim the 8% interest, can I refer to the first case and show them the evidence in that case? As the outcome of that was more in depth. Don't really want her getting away with not having to pay out what should be due. Just seems like my argument wasn't sufficient enough.

 

I do have the contact details of the District Judge who awarded the first judgement, would it be worth contacting them to explain this situation?

The legislation is quite clear that, if instalments are ordered, interest only runs if the instalments are late. I don't think you can get around that. The difference is (I assume - obviously I haven't seen the documents) that she was ordered to pay the full amount immediately in the first case but was granted instalments in the second case. Unfortunately I'm not sure there is much you can do about this.

 

Interest/loss of returns arising before the judgment date is in theory claimable but would be a bit more legally complicated. You would have had to indicate the dates on which you are claiming interest when completing the online form.

 

I don't think you would achieve much by trying to contact the DJ informally. You'd need to kick the process off with an application notice asking the court to do something, which would get the case allocated to the same court (its currently in Northampton) and you can then request that the case is put before the same judge.

If I send an application notice off requesting the interest it would accrued be added to the amount from the date of investment would that get the ball rolling? I'm not sure how it's not quite gone down the same route this time, essentially she has spent/stolen/disposed the monies however, but it was left in trust and is a breach of the Trustee Act.

 

I'm happy to pursue further paperwork and my step son isn't working so any costs would be removed, I just don't want him to lose out.

Did you claim for interest from the date of investment in the first instance, though? If no careful thought will be needed about how to approach this properly. One option might be formally amending your original claim. Not sure if you can do that once a judgment has been issued, would need to check.

Because no evidence was supplied, I entered in "£5000 + interest" -- I made a point of noting this as many times as I could. Because it's a separate claim I couldn't take the date of investment from the first claim, therefore I left it as an unknown period of time and amount accrued. I've prepared an Application Notice requesting the evidence of the bank book to show when it was invested to be able to calculate the interest accrued and owed. I have referenced the first case stating they had a judgement against them for the same situation. I may be clutching at straws here but the first application (for my first Step-Son) did make it to Court, I just want this one to head the same way. I'd like a similar outcome for both Step-Sons.
