    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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 have a severley disabled 16 year old son.

 

 

in september they changed his school bus and driver

 

 

since then he has been very difficult in going on the minibus.

 

 

he is refusing to put the shoulder straps of the harness on.

 

 

this results in the passenger assistant refusing to transport him, so he was off loaded.

 

 

At that time i was ill with pneumonia so that resulted in him not going to school as no other way to get him there.

My husband works abroad.

 

It was then agreed that they would get a Taxi this was decided before October half term(28/10/2013).

The head of passenger transport said they would look into other harnesses.

 

After half term my son was ill for a few days, when well he would go on the bus but refused the shoulder straps so was taken off the bus leaving me to take him to school in car.

 

He is now refusing to get on the Bus. He is sevely autistic and going in car has now become ingrained.

 

He needs to be in school by 8.45 but i need to be in work at 8.30. It is 16 miles each way to his school.

 

my school head has allowed me to go to work an hour later ( I am loosing the money) but only to Xmas

 

passenger transport have arranged a taxi but no PA so I am having to go instead.

 

 

I am still ill with pnemonia and are due to be signed off again the Stress as this situation is really getting to me

but no one seems to care or be bothered.

 

 

i have no respite care or help and i am now at my wits end

 

If i'm signed off i cannot be paid or claim for petrol.

 

 

We dont have a huge income and this is now getting to the stage that my son will nor be going to school.

 

Surely there is someone/somebody that can help

It really sounds like he doesnt like change. He was very happy with his routine, and now he's been pulled out of it and is forced to make a sudden change, theres no way in hell he is going to cooperate.

 

Perhaps gradually introduce the changes?

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

I would write to passenger transport and ask if there is a reasonable timescale for when they will attempt to provide an alternative harness.Hold them to the timescale and if no solution offered ,advise them you may go to local press. Under the Equality Act 2010 it looks like your employer is possably discriminating against you. This is known as "discrimination by association ".They have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to help you with childcare issues. This would need to be discussed with your employer.If you are in a union,I am sure that the representative will be glad to help you out. The guidance notes on the Equality Act 2010 are excellant and can be found on the internet for free. Why not try Citizens Advice Bureau?

Actually to tell the truth the only people that have been sympathetic has been the head of my school but for how long i dont know. A taxi has been arranged to take him in the morning with me as PA. However i have just been signed of sick for two weeks due to pneumonia and stress. He has being coming home in the evenings by the minibus. His normal Pa has been off sick this week so that hasnt helped however we have discovered a few things.

On Friday 15/11 refused to get on bus in morning,so i took him to school in car. Friday evening normal Pa not on route, was a male Pa and he got on bus Ok no probs with harness.Mon & Tue not well so not in school. Normal Pa off for rest of week. Wed morning went to go to bus and refused to get on relief PA was a woman. went to school in car. Wed evening problems getting him on bus. class teacher had to help. Thursday morning they organised a Taxi. He got in no problems i went as escort. ABS fine got out other end no probs went into school happy. PA on way home was a man called Rodger looks like father Xmas we have had him before. No problems getting sam on bus, he completely ignored harness.Have now got to the stage when I feel my son just does not like women. i think he has seen me and his usual PA getting stressed by his behaviour and is reacting to it.

Now all my problems is , Is to convince Passenger Transport this is the case. The tempoary PA has said he is willing on a temp basis to act as a PA untill a permanent one is found. We emailed re this but have no reply. They still have not advertised for a PA. There has to be some legal redress ????

 

My Problem is not with my employer but with Passenger Transport. Who because my son is Statemented have a legal requirement to get him to school and they are not doing this.

 

So Who do i go to, I am now signed off sick so should not be acting as a PA but I have no alternative and no one seems to care that my son is not going to school. Surely this is discrimination against a disabled child
