    • “Not realising it was a no parking zone” doesn’t help you if the timing is correct, as (at least, on Google Maps / View) there is clear signage ('7am to midnight', parked at 15:22) What might be worth pursuing is the "ticket handed to driver" aspect : do you have any view on why they would be  stating that?
    • it's 85k of turnover (well, now £90k). However, you're digging yourself into another hole here. That ship has probably long since sailed. Is it worth pursuing this? You're not going to get anything back from it either way.
    • Hi,   A few pointers from yesterday to take note of evris cpr 27.9 failed again so we should really make issue of this also their WX fail to comply with CPR so again we should take issue with their statement of truth  you cant get tort if you get damages under subsection 7 of CRA because its double recovery  - not sure what we think of this? however its the first time i saw the judges make reference to your non automatic rights from s49 which s54 and 57 assist with. We should start stating this specifically for claims as I think its much better than just 49 and 57 as we need to make it clear where our non automatic rights come from as 54 automatic frankly dont help  I have sent the claim form and defences to the admin email because I can’t upload them for some reason as it wont let me but thought this may help as its the first time we’ve taken tort to trial. although i think the DDJ was honestly struggling to understand some parts of the law because he was asking me about them and how he should interpret them, especially for the automatic. Will apply for transcript if you want it?
    • I decided on confrontation - which I hate.  Omg the arrogance of the driver.  They refused to say who had given them the alleged permission to park on the private land - unless I proved ownership.  I couldn't believe they could be so objectionable.   They advised they couldn't take public transport to work as they lived too far away.  They couldn't rent a local garage as none were available. I simply said that's their issue not mine. It was infuriating that this person had such misplaced entitlement.  However I decided to humour them and show them the title deeds.   They couldn't respond.  Although at this point they alleged some guy in a city up north - whose name they couldn't remember - gave permission!!    They then asked if they could buy the garages and land!! Yet can't afford to park on a meter !! They seemed to back down and agree to now park elsewhere.  I hope so.

    • 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.

Where is the threat? The key word is "may."

 

A lot of the time offering a discounted settlement is a commercial decision as they know that there are very few options left other than say an attachment of earnings or order for sale etc.

did you ever get to the bottom of the store card/credit card issue

 

 

if these people are offering a discount on the org debt

 

 

did you ever investigate PENALTY charges &/or PPI reclaiming?

 

 

an SAR to the original creditor might be in order here.

I agree with Ganymede, what's the issue here?

 

 

Clearly a sum of money is owed but not being paid

so the creditor really has three options;

do nothing,

try to encourage a payment or

force the issue with further enforcement action.

 

 

They *may* choose option three but they may not,

I imagine that will largely depend on what you do in response.

They're offering reduced F&F because a payment plan is likely costing them more that its bringing in.

Also factor in how much the debt is and how long the payment plan will therefore go on for

- e.g. for a £5k debt at £30/month will be an almost 14 year payment plan.

 

In my view that's not really ideal for Claimant (for the above reasons) or Defendant (because this is potentially lingering over you for a long time).

 

The charging order is multi-functional.

It provides a bit of security on the debt and can be used as a bargaining tool with incentives for both parties

e.g. if you pay a 30% discounted lump sum we'll remove the charge

- this has worked for me in the past.

Hi Thanks for you answers and i understand why they are offering a discount.

 

But my main point of the letter is:-

 

"Please be aware that in the absence of proposals to repay the debt, either by a one of payment at a discounted rate or by regular payments in relation to the full debt, our client may take further legal action."

 

They have alredy obtained a CCJ against her for this debt which she is paying and no payments have been missed and they also have a Charging Order on the house.

 

I suppose my main question is, what " further legal action " can they do? I realise they have options if she misses a payment, but she hasn`t.

As you know from previous posts, there is a reason why I just rolled over and admitted this debt. But they are like a dog with a bone now probably because i did admit debt without asking questions.

 

Please could you tell me, if I sar them ( I know there will be charges because the debt is £1000 more then the CC limit was), can I try to put the CCJ set aside even though I have already admited the debt.

 

I feel it`s time I started biting back but it may be to late!

An Order for Sale (although unless the home is a second home I think the likelihood of this happening is slim).

 

Alternatively if they have other info on your wife, namely her bank details, there's nothing to stop them trying a Third Party Debt Order.

I,m sorry but i must be missing a point here!

 

"Please be aware that in the absence of proposals to repay the debt, either by a one of payment at a discounted rate or by regular payments in relation to the full debt, our client may take further legal action."

 

She is paying regular payments in relation to the full debt by way of a CCJ.

 

I understand they are not happy with what the judge said she had to pay monthly, I understand why they are offering a discount but why are they suggesting that she is not paying regular payments?

Thank You Ganymede

 

I thought that it might of been a standard letter and I was ignoring it but I they sent another letter a week latter asking why I have not responded to the first letter.

I then started thinking that they were up to something underhand and wondered if ignoring them was the best policy?

bit late for a set aside and for what reason?

 

 

ge that SAR off

 

 

there could be a good chunk to offer an F&F on here.

 

 

if they are 'stupid enogh' to offer a short settlement on a ccj then great.

 

 

though you need to bear-in-mind

that even a satisfied CCJ will still kill your CRA file

till its 6th birthday drop off

I was wondering if could claim i did not realise that the total amount I admited to was incorrect. would it be possible to get it back into court and admit a lesser amount ( after i have worked out how much of the total they claimed she owed was charges).

 

I would still have a CCJ but for a lesser amount, they (the solicitors) have also added £300 to the total for the Charging order. Can they do that? or is that a seperate issue, as in the £300 is,nt part of the CCJ that i,m paying.

 

Hope that makes sense, as I said before, i,m not very good at putting in words what i,m thinking.

they cant change/add to what the total was on the ccj / co.

 

 

its too late to use any charges as a wrong ccj figure claim set aside I fear.

They will be able to add any applicable interest to the charge and the costs of getting the CO are often added to the judgment debt.

You pay whatever the court ordered you to pay as apart of the CCJ. Nothing more.

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..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

It's not as simple as that, IF the judgment attracts interest (and it may do by contract) then Ezekiel v Orakpo makes clear that the charge also secures that interest. You should not however have to pay interest on the costs.

Hi Sorry to keep going on but i have a niggling feeling they are up to something underhand. Below is the first letter I received from them concerning the CO:-

 

 

We refer to the above action in which we obtained a Final Charging Order on xx October 2013

 

The Final Charging Order has been registered at H.M Land registry and the debt is therefore secured over your property

The above sum is still outstanding and we require your proposals for repayment of this debt. Our client may be willing to offer you a discount on your debt if you are able to pay a lump sum settlement. It may also be possible to sread the settlement over three months. Alternatively, instalment payments based on your circumstances should be made to clear the balance in full.

 

We ask you contact us on the number below to discuss these options or complete the attached income and expenditure form and return it to us with your offer of payment.

 

we look forward to receiving your reply during the course of the next 14 days.

 

The sum they have quoted is the original CCJ amount less payments made and includes the £253 for the CO costs.
