      soccersixes chasing owed money

      By robertobaggio · Posted

      Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks

      Prosecution witness in criminal court case.

      By sprouting · Posted

      Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks

      A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 hope someone can give me a little advice, I wrote to Barclays requesting that they give me the money, they said no but offered me a goodwille gesture, I refused to settle and asked for the money and they wouldn't budge. I went to MCOL and put a claim to Barclays for my money back, it is due to expire on Thursday 26th October. I have not heard a thing from them. Is this normal? :confused:

HI Laura

I think that if you check the day after they should have filed a defence MCOL may say that you have won your case ;) .

But on a cautionary note its not unusal for Barclays to leave it till the last min to put forward a defence, they may even contact you to come to a settlement agreement. Dont panic if you have done everything in the correct order i would be sitting where you are now with a big smile on my face:grin: but all my fingers crossed.

Please could someone give me a little advice. I have just spoke to MCOL to find out what was going on with my claim. Barclays had acknowledge my claim on 28th Sept and were given 28 days to respond. It is due to run out tomorrow so thought I would give them a ring today. I called them and they advised that Barclays had contacted them and have requested the case be struck out by the district judge and if they do not do that, they have put in a defence.

 

Does anyone know if this is normal. I have not heard a thing from the Bank or the courts apart from when I rang today. Starting to worry a little about it all.:confused:

Apparently they have said that the reasons I gave for putting the claim through were not sufficient, they didn't agree with what I put apparently. I didn't put anything out of line just the facts of what is owed and how it came about. That was all the MCOL told me?

:xAs far as I was previously aware I didn't know there was a template one for the on-line claim - I have just seen it. I'm stuffed aren't I?! I put the details of the start and end of the period of charge and the details of the account and interest but that was it. I can't belive it. Is it just really a wait and see? If they do get their way can I try again for it? I am really kicking myself now! :o

There fee is £35.00 which you must pay to have the amendments made.

You will then have to wait for the amendments to take effect before the case can progress.

 

 

This is the information to put please Change to suit.

Your timings in post #04 don't add up. Add 33 days to the day you filed and that gives the date by which Barclays should have defended. What date would that be?

 

You should have sent a copy of your schedule including the 8% interest to both Bank and MCOL.

 

It seems that MCOL have still got your file so don't know whether contacting your local court is any good at present as it hasn't yet been transferred.

 

I think that you are well beyond the date by which Barclays should have defended so I think another phone call to MCOL asking for the exact state of play as it stands is your next step.

You need to ask them what steps you need to take in order to prevent the Bank getting what they're asking the judge for.

 

Ask if by just sending the full schedule to MCOL and the Bank will get them off your back? If so, print out the full schedule, get to a fax machine and fax it to both of them (if fax is acceptable to the court), so that they get it tomorrow. On top of each schedule put the Banks reference number to the one you send them (which is quoted in their letters to you) and the MCOL Claim reference number on the one you fax them.

 

Obviously, get the respective fax numbers before you set off.

 

Good Luck

I have received a letter from the court advising that Barclays have made an application to strike out my claim and that I have until the 30th of november to supply further information to the court (silly me didn't send the spreadsheet details!!) does anyone know of a template that is used when sending the further information through to the court? Has anyone been in this situation?

 

Thanks!!

Hi,

Dont think you need a template. Just send a covering letter stating that you are replying in response to the courts request for further information. Attach your complete schedule of charges and quote your claim number. Probably advisable to send a copy to barclays solicitors aswell.

Is it just the spreadsheet that is missing or is there any other info that they require???? i.e what exactly did it say in the letter from the court

Hi,

 

I received a letter from the court which states that I have to provide the court with three points. 1 scedule of charges - which I have, copies of any statements - I have these tw so they aren't the problem its the 3rd one. I'll write it below.

 

c)A statement of his evidence, if such is to be relied upon as tending to show that the alledged charges have been made, or that they are irrecoverable as penalties or otherwise.

 

Would anyone be able to let me know what I can do for this one!? I am very unsure and don't want to send off all my information without knowing!

 

I would appreciate anyones input! Thank you!!:)

Hi, at what point did Barclays apply for a strike out of court??

 

What was their grounds for this??

 

They just seem to be changing their tactics all the time, trying to find a way to put people off and hopefully find a way of getting off with breaking the law for years...

It was after I issued the claim on MCOL, It was due to lack of information I believe, I missed a few details out on my particulars of claim and they used this as their excuse to try and get the claim struck out. I only found this out my calling Money Claim OnLine, it doesn't say any of this on the letter they sent to me.

 

I just want to make sure I do this one is right when I send it off and don't want to miss anything out! Just not sure about the last one! I am sending the letter I sent to the court to barclays also and am going to hope that they pay out from this! With my luck though they will probably take it further!! :confused:

Hello,

I too made the massive error of not researching the correct response to the "particulars of Claim".:mad:

 

I have a court date at Cardiff CC for the 22nd of December - Barclays have submitted a defence and one of the particulars is a request for my claim to be struck out on this basis. Am I correct in thinking that if they thought it would be struck out then they wouldn't have lodged a defence?:confused:

 

Do you think I should make an ammendment also? Has this happened to anyone else?

Firstly Mummy, if you want us to help you, it would help us greatly iof you'd post your question in your own thread. In answer to your question though,

 

Are you sure that you are in Court on the 22nd of December? There are a large number of cases being heard on the 21st at Cardiff (including mine) for a Directions Hearing.

 

As for them submitting a defence, there is a time limit in which they have to defend as you know so they are doing the proper thing. Can you explain on what grounds they are requesting your claim to be struck out?

 

Can you tell me what your Particulars of Claim was please?

 

Reply in your thread, Thanks
