    • There's no facility for a settlement "out of court" as such. But matters that are started under the "Single Justice" (SJ) Procedure can often be concluded without the defendant appearing. The SJ procedure, as the name suggests, involves a single magistrate, sitting in an office with a legal advisor, dealing with matters "on papers" only. Nobody else can attend. The SJ deals with straightforward guilty pleas. Anything where the SJ believes the defendant should appear, or which should be dealt with by the "ordinary" court are adjourned o a hearing in the normal magistrates'  court .As well as this, all defendants have the right to a hearing in the normal court if they wish. Nobody is forced to have their case heard under he SJP.  In particular, as far as traffic matters go, a SJ will not disqualify a driver and if a ban is to be considered, the case will be passed over to the normal court. Because, following your SD, you will be pleading Not Guilty (and offering the "deal"), your case would usually be heard in the normal court, meaning a personal appearance. To be honest, performing your SD at the court is a more straightforward way of doing things. It avoids any possible hitches involved in serving he SD on the court. But of course, as I said, most courts have backlogs which mean an SD may not be quickly accommodated. If you do end up doing your SD before a solicitor, check with them the protocol for serving it on the court. Do let us know what the solicitor says about Wednesday.    
    • Welcome to posting on CAG cabot, people will be along soon to help you try to sort this out. Please complete this:  
    • Quotes of the day penny mordaunt came out swinging with her broadsword, and promptly decapitated sunak while Nigel Farage, representing Reform UK, made contentious claims about immigration policies, which were swiftly fact-checked during the debate.   Good question though raised at labour about the 2 child benefit cap, which I broadly agree with, but the tory 'trap' assumes tory thinking - rather than child centric thinking. There should be no incentives to have kids as a financial way of life paid for by everyone else ... ... BUT the kids should not be made to suffer for the decisions of their parents Free school meals would feed the kids, improve their ability to learn, and incentivise them to go to school. As an added benefit ... it would invest in our nations future.   How far this should go is a matter for costing, social intent and future path of the nation, but not feeding our nations kids is an abomination. There should be at least one free school meal per day for every child who attends school. Full Stop. Its the cheapest and most effective investment in our future we could make.
    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx

    • 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.

up till court i would amend the schedule and then submit it to the court with the 8% on it and whenever you send the schedule into the court or defendant through the court process, leave it set to the date you sent it to the court, don't change the date. They will know they must pay you the interest still as it is indicated in the claim particulars.

What i mean is if they add charges on the whole way through then just update your schedule but the moment you get into court stages freeze it. E.g it totals £2500 with interest and then two weeks later the court ask for a schedule for whatever reason and including interest it totals £2520, send them the original spreadsheet from the day you submitted the claim, don't update it or add any other charges to it. They will know the interest has been added.

Me again! A bit later than promised but i managed to post my LBA for our joint aco**** today!!!

Here is a breakdown of events so far:

19th Oct-S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) sent off for my account...recieved on the 20th

19th Nov-After recieving 6 years of statements sent of my request for refundof £1290 inc interest.

24th Nov-got letter stating they have recieved request and have handed it to customer relations.

23rd Nov-Recieved 17 years worth of statements for my account along with statements for our joint account!

23rd Nov-Sent off request for refund for my account dating from 93-98 an additional £2642 inc interest.

28th Nov-sent off request for our joint account ref refund of charges £1803 inc interest.

 

 

That should make it easier to follow :)

 

I am still a tad concerned about the 13 years i am claiming for with my account! I think i may blow the whole thing...i know the judge (from what i have read) only sees the charges in the last 6 years....what do you think the Halifax is going to do with 13 years worth? Do you honestly think i stand a chance or are you allw aiting for me to take the plunge to see what happens? I dont mind being the guinea pig but i would like to hear some honest responses from you :)

 

Thankyou in advance.

 

p.s. Where do i start when putting together a case for the court? Never been to court before and i am nervous as hell!!!! What argument can i come up with for thirteen years of charges?

I am not good with big legal type words and all that. I guess i will recieve the help i need when the time comes though.

Hiya Sledge,

 

Don't worry about going to court too much - you are unlikely to have to show up as they should settle with you well before it gets to that stage. You can even submit your forms online at www.moneyclaim.gov.uk so you don't even have to go in to submit the paperwork.

 

Also, no need to worry about jargon and wprs to use as there is a template for basic claims on here and someone will help you reword it if you require any amendments :)

just a thought - I had to chase halifax several times to make sure I got the statements from both my accounts. It's as if one person can only work one account. May be worth checking that they have your request for the statements on the other bank account. I did this over the phone!

Halifax have offered me a figure a lot less than what I was asking. I have declined thier offer and now they have written to tell me they aren't going to pay any of the refund. I have had a lot of bad service from Halifax so am going to keep fighting the battle. Court here I come!!!!:D

hi Dave,

I'm no expert at this, but have you thought of doing 3 claims, one for your account last 6 years, one for the previous 7 years, and another one for the joint account?

 

It might be alot of bother that way but at least if you don't win the one for the 90s because of statute barring or something like that, you won't jeopardise the others?

 

I think you need to do the joint account and single account seperately anyway. Also, I think you want to keep the claims under £5,000 for them to be in the small claims court

 

just a suggestion, hope it helps, I'm no expert just been reading alot on here!

Thankyou apple :) I too have read all over this site...for some reason it manages to cloud you when it comes down to yourself!! I think that is the best thing to do.

 

UPDATE! Halifax phoned me today....offered me £233 as full and final settlement. I told them i would accept but not as full and final and would persue the rest in court.

 

They are sending me a confirmation letter. So, when i get this letter, is it time for the court thingy?

1.The Claimant has an account (EDIT!) with

30/11/2000 the Defendant debited charges and

interest in respect of purported breaches of

details as a list of charges has already been

supplied. Another copy will be sent. 4.

Claimant contends: (a) The charges exceed the

Defendant's losses caused by the breaches;

(b) The Term permitting the Defendant to levy

such charges is unenforceable under the

Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts

Regulations 1999, Unfair Contract Terms Act

1977 and at Common Law. 5. Claimant claims:

(a) return of the amounts debited of

£1044.00; (b)The claimant claims interest

under section 69 of the County Courts Act

1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 30/11/2000

to 18/12/2006 of £247.95 and also interest at

the same rate up to the date of judgment or

earlier payment at a daily rate of 0.28p. 6.

Alternatively, if the charges

are a fee for a service, then they must be

reasonable under S.15 of the Supply of Goods

Ok you need to read these threads regarding claims going back more than 6 years. Also you need to read the Limitation Act 1980. YOu must be aware of the process before you start and MCOL will not do for this you will need to use the N1.
