    • Last month was confirmed to be the hottest-ever May on record, in terms of global average temperatures, completing an entire calendar year of month-by-month records.  The average temperature last month was 1.52C above the pre-industrial average, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, known as C3S. The average global temperature for the 12-month period to the end of May was 1.63C (2.9F) above the pre-industrial average

    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability. Many thanks   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 17/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks

    • 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.

They are completely abusing their "power" and dole out all these fines because they think people won't fight back. It's an absolute cash cow for them.

 

You post off your documents to DVLA and have fulfilled your obligation to them. So you forget about it. It's finished and done with in your mind.

 

As brassnecked has said above, you don't have an obligation to chase them up. Why should you?

 

You have the case law to back you up. You must stand up to them.

Dont be surprised if the single bailiff visiting this time and being thrown out, turns into another visit with 2/3 bailiffs a locksmith and the police plus 300 quids worth of fees

None of the beliefs held by "Freemen on the land" have ever been supported by any judgments or verdicts in any criminal or civil court cases.

That is why Op must contact court and do Stat Dec ASAP. When stat dec accepted, the bailiff goats gruff, police and locksmiths can wave bye bye to any fees

 

What bailiff firm is this?

We could do with some help from you.

If you haven't already done so, you should phone the DVLA and see what they have in their records about any action taken on the car.

 

Assume you phoned the local magistrates' court? Try the county court as well, just in case it's something else.

 

Are you sure your husband can't remember where the guy said he was from?

He phoned the fine office and they gave him the number he needed. The bailiff didn't get the chance to say where he was from, he said he was here for collection or seizure of goods he didn't get to finish the sentence, hubby already had him out the front door

There's a firm in West London they use with reps all over the place, I'll try and dig out who it is. Just DCA's bigging up themselves and playing at Hardman Bailiffs on £2.00ph and a bowl of rice. Had a visit over a SORN last year after scrapping a car with one of these collections firms that are meant to dispose of vehicle. DVLA wanted £1000 - I'm tempted to post up a link to the telephone conversation I recorded with the Drone I spoke to at DVLA. Not heard nothing since but it was shameful on DVLA's part. What a bunch of amateurs.

The Banksta Buster.

Only 4 companies can enforce magistrate court fines; Marston Group, Philips,( now collectica )( Swift Credit Services (Wales) and Excel Enforcement (also Wales).

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..

Are you sure Equita can't? They do a lot for local authorities and I had an Equita one turn up - thank God I wasn't in! - when the council had got a liability order against me at a magistrates' court for council tax which had already been paid! Fortunately they called him off as soon as I called them and they discovered it was a mistake.

If it was a legit bailiff, they would have left some form of paperwork. DCA's will just shout and yell to get in and write some crap down on their forms so they can earn their 10-20% commission.

Equita do not have anything to do with collection of Magistrate Court Fines. Council Tax Liability Orders may well be heard in the Magistrates Court but they do not result in a criminal conviction.

 

The way forward is to contact the DVLA and ask at which Court this was heard, if they say no then demand to know who they have put it out to.

Thank you for explaining that.

 

I agree with you. I think only DVLA can explain what is going on.

DCA is a debt collection agency. Demand DVLA give you all info including the relevant court reference number. Then you can get a stat dec done and DVLA have to start right back at the beginning again.

DVLA have probably passed it on to their tame solicitor. Someone at DVLA needs to tell you who that is. Probably they use the same solicitor for all their litigation work, but not always. Don't let them fob you off by saying they don't know, get a record of the name of everyone you speak to, even if it just something like 'Jane in Team 23'.

They can't.

 

This whole visit is very strange. If he really was a bailiff he should have left you with some paperwork. He should have said something like, "You have let me in and therefore I can take an inventory of your goods, and I have the right to return, and I'll give you until 3.00 p.m. this afternoon/tomorrow morning, to pay me or I will seize your goods....". He should also have left you with some paperwork which listed the fines, the bailiff's fees (usually hugely inflated because they will try and charge you more than the flat, one visit, fee).

 

This guy left quietly when challenged and didn't provide paperwork which is why we're thinking he's not a real bailiff.

He said he was there for payment or seizure of goods I didn't think dca could do that

No a DCA can't and if they claim they can then they are committing an offence, it is possible he was a bailiff

Presuming he is a real bailiff and didn't make a levy, what would be their next move. Do they call again or hand back to

the court

 

If the original caller was a Bailiff, he should at the very least have left a letter which would have detailed what he was there for & as this would have been for a Magistrates Court it would have had details of that on it as well. If he was a Bailiff then yes he will call again and as it is a Court fine you could be notified he can force entry as these do confer the power to do so.

 

Have you contacted the DVLA to find out what is going on.
