    • Hi. Welcome to CAG. How was the car purchased?  
    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. 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 as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. 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 £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance.

    • 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.

Don't understand why architect speced. "Rockwool quilt and not Celotex sheet but that is his call.

Did he quote 50mm air gap between tilers sheet and insulation ?

 

No he didn't. I copied everything from the plans and notes.

 

If there is anything else I can do in the meantime, let me know and I'll get straight on it.

I am almost certain the tile vents are needed. I will probably have to wait till monday to ring the architect. So what does this all mean then? The building inspector cannot pass the roof can he?

 

Unfortunately at court the roofer knew more than me about what a roof should be, and lied saying the roof was fantastic and that he was going to put it on his website. The judge didnt have a clue how to do a roof so took everything he was saying as truth.

 

No the Building Inspector can't "Pass" it. Unless you "agree" to the 100 errors..... I don't think so !!!!

 

"Use it on his web site"...... Are you sure..

 

Only if Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder are the only viewers.

This post is VERY important confirm it is read.

 

Before vents are fitted I think you will need to alter the boiler flue by having a "Plume Kit " fitted due to the position of the vents.

I'm not a Gas Safe Engineer.

 

When the boiler was fitted there were no vents. So get the boiler fitter back and check.

Yes, I have read that. Does it mean the flue will need to extend away so that the fumes don't enter into the roof cavity?

 

This is all on the assumption that the roofer will do all the required work. Would it not be better for me to let the roofer "repair the roof" and then raise all these issues after the building inspector inspects the roof. I know this roofer is going to cut corners constantly with my job and I want someone else to do it ideally.

 

He also said in court the only thing he was willing to do was to repair the flashings, as he feels that there is nothing else wrong with the roof and that it is "lovely." So I am almost certain he is going to refuse to do all the work.

Sorry missed post #221

Yes what you are suggesting would have solved the pitch problem

Regards F16

 

In your opinion how would be the best way to solve this situation?

 

Do I let the roofer come and do the repairs he thinks are necessary?

 

Do I just tell the building inspector all the flaws and see if the roofer will fix all the flaws too? I know he won't change the pitch or make the flat sections to make the pitch 15

Yes the flue will have to be extended due to poss. carbon monoxide ingress.

 

This is when you need the input of the "Legal Crew".

 

My view is the Judge said he had to get insurance.... and he can't as discussed so YOU don't have to pay.

 

You could point out all the faults and get him to put them right.

BUT you paid once for materials and the cost of new materials is his problem.

 

So this "Clown" might "think" he has won...... But has he ?????

 

See what the "Legal Crew" advise.

That sounds good. Thank you very much. I'll wait for their input. If you can could you list the faults, as I am not sure exactly what needs rectifying? Were the tile and lead flashing overlaps fine for example?

Ill be back on tomorrow. I think he has lost either way. His poor work will have cost him more money and I will still pay the original invoice and get a fixed roof, which was underquoted in the first place.

I've read the "ventilation" part for the roof.

 

There are 2 options.

 

1 : Eves (gable ) vents.

OR

2: Tile Vents (mushrooms)

 

Of which you have neither.......Nor the "Continuous soffit vent".

Collecting full fitting instructions on Monday from local supplier to find out about verge tiles.

Enjoy the weekend

Sorry to bother you on Sunday !

I need some more photos:

1. The corner you said was leaking. Lift up the lead on back wall and take photo so I can see the corner under the back wall lead

and where the "stepped" lead flashing finishes. (Push lead back into place after photos).

 

2. Shots of the sides and top of 1 of the velux windows (pref the far right looking from the garden).

I need the shots taken at 90 degrees to the roof to view the gap between the tiles and the Velux.

So I can see the side and top flashings.

 

3. What "model of Velux was fitted ? (ie GGL)

 

At this stage all I'm going to say is....." I think I know where he has gone wrong" !!!!!

 

Google "Velux window installation instructions".....

It's on a "you tube".... That's it enough "Clues"..... Oh alright 1 more: My post on the Velux windows "looking low" will assist !

 

Don't end up with the "Don King hair do and the Al Jolson face"; trying to figure it out ! I will explain Monday.

You've been fantastic with all the technical stuff f16 what a shame you didn't find kingers thread before the court hearing. I'm sure it would be useful if the legal members could get back involved with the thread, now we all know the errors, I'm sure Kinger is wondering what to do with all this information now, I know I would be!

I am so grateful I cannot put it into words. It was so difficult getting roofers to give quotes let alone even look at me roof. They are all scared of touching someone else's work and as this company is big, a lot of them even knew who did the job before they even visited. I have put so much into this (as have all the kind posters) and there is no way I am going to give up now.

Cheers for the photos .

 

The photo with "tiles removed". Is the "up stand" on the flashing kit crushed ? Looks like it to me.

 

I think I can see "Disc cutter" damage on the bottom flashing.

 

What model of Velux ?

And the same for the flashing kit ?

 

In a previous post you said.

"270mm rockwool insulation quilt to be laid over and between ceiling joists".

That can't be right.

"Between" Yes. Not "Over". There has to be a 50mm (Minimum) air flow gap between "Tilers sheet" and insulation.

 

Did the architect do a sectional drawing of this detail ?

What size are the ceiling joists ?

 

Sorry about all the questions !!! :oops:

Yes everything seems to be damaged. I questioned the workers when they were doing the roof that should they not be cutting the tiles on the floor not on the actual roof but they carried on doing it like that and said that was how it was done. There is cutter damage everywhere, even on the velux window where it has bounced off the tiles and hit the window.

 

The velux is the GGU electric center pivot model. The flashing kit is the one made by velux which goes with the windows. I don't know the name, but the supplier I bought it from provided the tiles, windows and flashings and told me they were all compatible. I needed a certain flashing kit for the centurion tiles.

 

For the insulation that was for a flat ceiling. The architect originally told me I could not have a vaulted ceiling, but then the inspector said it was possible and a vaulted ceiling was done instead. That is why it refers to the insulation going over I believe.

 

There is a sectional drawing but it is for the flat ceiling. Is this insulation a big problem? I feel like I've been misled by the inspector and the roofer.

That explains that one !!! I knew that was not correct for vaulted ceiling.

You should "Mark up" each cut and cut else where; Not in situ.

If you do cut in situ. This is the result.

 

The insulation is only a "problem" if there is no 50mm air flow gap.

This also explains why I said "Rockwool ??? I would have used Celotex sheet.... but that's his call"

If the "roofer " (and I use that term very loosely) was of any use he should have advised you of a "Better option/ product.

 

Check your invoice for the product code for the flashing kit.

I will see what kit my supplier suggests tomorrow when I pick up the tile fitting instructions and velux fitting instructions

I can't think why any architect would suggest a flat ceiling in this type of extension with velux window. That would have looked pants !!

 

Ring the architect and ask about roof ventilation.

I think so. I am not exactly sure what the upstand is. Is it the raised bit around the edge of the window where the tiles are supposed to slot into?

That was the issue. The architect said that the vaulted ceiling was not possible, and as soon as I found out it was possible I changed it to the vaulted ceiling.

 

I will check the invoice tomorrow and find out what the flashing kit was. These were bought nearly a year ago so I cannot remember off the top of my head. Thank you
